Blocked. Saying “nobody said that” is clearly a denial.

Nobody said that

Legitimately, yes. I say this as an ML-adjacent engineer. Neural networks need to be rewritten from the ground up with support for confidence intervals.

The SAT added a “guessing penalty” to stop people from answering questions they didn’t know the answer to. That’s exactly what we need to do when training ML models.

For posterity, not all AI is chatbots. There’s so many other types of AI beyond overhyped chatbots.*

If we dismiss the entire field of AI, we risk overlooking some truly beautiful AI advances. Like that time DeepMind solved the protein folding problem or discovered millions of new types of crystalline materials using neural nets.

* You probably know that, but others might not be as familiar with the space.

FYI I think the “illegal to do anything but increase value for stockholders” is no longer true. IIRC, it was just one ruling and other rulings since have negated it. I’ll try to update with more deets later.

Update, it was never true: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-corporations-obligations-to-shareholders/corporations-dont-have-to-maximize-profits

Fair, thanks for the clarification

Uyghur slavery represents a very small fraction of Chinese labor. Yes, it is a human rights abuse and should absolutely be stopped, but bringing it up every time someone talks about a Chinese product with no known ties to slave labor is an anti-asian dogwhistle.

China is a big place, with 10x as many people as in the U.S. Let’s try not to generalize about 3 billion people.

You’re right, but I guess others haven’t yet learned this wisdom. Wisdom cannot be taught, only learned. 🤷

Hello and welcome to the club! It depends on your skill level. For some it can be very difficult to install any OS, Linux or not.

I’d recommend practicing on a VM first to verify your technical chops.

Step 1: Download virtualbox and create a new Linux virtual machine with 30 GB of disk space.
Step 2: Download a Linux ISO and mount it in the VM.
Step 3: Maximize the VM window and install Linux.
Step 4: Play around with your new Linux installation as though it were your real OS.

But doesn’t your post show exactly why it would have been a good choice? Because now some random unaffiliated person on the internet is arguing that it was an accident.

I’m so tired of this freepressjournal trash, it’s always some clickbait article that looks like it was written by a child for a middle school book report. Can we stop posting throwaway sources like this and use real sources instead?

I’m pretty sure you said 128 terabytes of RAM

I try not compile things unnecessarily when a plugin would be just as good. Waste not want not. 🤷

Not trying to kink shame, I just don’t get off on wasting CPU cycles for no reason. You do you.

Just because you can buy 64GB of RAM doesn’t mean you need it. Laptops these days are more powerful than supercomputers used to be. If you just spend a little time tuning your applications you barely need any RAM.

Nah, I don’t fux with Windows. Arch

I disagree with this article.

I do all my development on the cheapest MacBook Air, which has the old M1 and only 8GB of RAM. It was $500, which is cheaper than most Windows workstations. I’ve never noticed performance issues, and I work on some absolute monsters of projects, including game dev in Rust and Godot.

In particular, it works waaaay better for Rust and TypeScript dev than my $3k Dell laptop, because unlike my Dell laptop it doesn’t crash every 3 hours and the battery lasts longer than 30 minutes. I can run docker with my full stack and it stays cool as a cucumber, no noticeable lag.

I don’t have first-hand experience in Chinese factories, but I have a friend who works in a US factory. The quality of the items I get from Temu seem about on par with the factory rejects I’ve gotten from him.

I usually see higher quality stuff when buying from Alibaba directly, so I assumed AliExpress and Temu are their version of an outlet store. 🤷

I should mention that many of the factories selling on Temu have profiles you can view that show their factory address. You can search this on maps to see if it’s legit, and if it’s coming from a region with known rights abuses. E.g. If it’s near Beijing or Shanghai it’s probably free of outright slavery.
