I think he deserves an award for being possibly the stupidest human being alive, like a reverse Nobel.

She was actually explaining it to the movie going audience, in a break of the fourth wall indirectly, but y’know

;)

I parked legally in front of the Apple Store on 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan once.

Parking is like $40/hour in that area in a garage. Damn straight I’m still talking about the good parking spot.

Bro, I can’t believe how that happened. They erased Jenkins from the timeline and somehow history was completely unaffected, because his brother became Fuhrer. Like what the shit

So we know what the fourth panel of the comic is!

I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.

What the fuck is a metaverse?

Rarified salami, hahaha, that got a good chuckle out of me

You were right

Convinced a long distance friend to change their major from Acupuncture to Computer Science before they ruined their life.

They’re doing better than I am, now.

Sorry. Most of that shit has been my fault, and people like me.

In recent times, there’s been a push to reclassify certain disabilities from … disabilities, into “neurodivergence.” in an attempt to destigmatize certain disorders, and cast them in a new light as part of human evolution.

The idea that life is a min-maxing situation comes from the “just world fallacy”, the fallacious belief that all good and evils “must balance out”. Someone born with some profound disability might have no overarching heartwarming lesson for society to learn, and life might just be about abject cruelty.

I don’t know if the community appreciates or hates that change, but, I’ve seen autism go from being called something quite hateful (/r) in the 1990s, to becoming a spectrum, to people working with autistic people and just calling them “different”.

The romanticization might come from movies like Rain Man, and the few high profile savant cases (on ASD), e.g: I recall speculation that Bill Gates and Elon Musk both had Asperger’s Syndrome.

What’s your take on this?

That seems to require a level of foresight and planning that most corporations don’t have. That’s almost like a blueprint for failure when some middle manager changes the scope of a project with a hard coded time limit, IMO.

Anyone interested in not-agile development? Maybe we can call it “Ship it when it’s ready” lol

Ancient developer here / not really a coder, but what the hell is “Agile” software development?

Is it some kind of pseudonym for pushing buggy, untested code to a production server or something?

Like a speed run category for software development?

I’m an AI Developer.

TLDR: CUDA.

Getting ROCM to work properly is like herding cats.

You need a custom implementation for the specific operating system, the driver version must be locked and compatible, especially with a Workstation / WRX card, the Pro drivers are especially prone to breaking, you need the specific dependencies to be compiled for your variant of HIPBlas, or zLUDA, if that doesn’t work, you need ONNX transition graphs, but then find out PyTorch doesn’t support ONNX unless it’s 1.2.0 which breaks another dependency of X-Transformers, which then breaks because the version of HIPBlas is incompatible with that older version of Python and …

Inhales

And THEN MAYBE it’ll work at 85% of the speed of CUDA. If it doesn’t crash first due to an arbitrary error such as CUDA_UNIMPEMENTED_FUNCTION_HALF

You get the picture. On Nvidia, it’s click, open, CUDA working? Yes?, done. You don’t spend 120 hours fucking around and recompiling for your specific usecase.

Samuel Vimes is personally responsible for my pair of good boots and he isn’t even real.

I went mountain climbing on Saturday and the good boots saved my life. Sometimes it isn’t about feeling the cobbles beneath your feet in the streets of Ankh-Morpor, but about the god damned sharp rocks climbing Mt. Erebus, and the fact that one slip means certain death.

Oh, and speaking of death, he loves mountain climbers. He doesn’t even have to do his job.

I’m somewhat partial to the Telvanni Mushroom kingdom (the idea of, hey, here’s an acorn, go GROW your house) but Balmora has always held a special piece in my heart for being the first “big city” I’ve felt in a video game.

The transition to the Ashland and seeing a different biome entirely / grasslands / plains was also pretty incredible.

Ald’ruhn’s Capitol was also novel in design with the redundant rope bridges built on the inside of the shell of a gigantic upturned horseshoe crab.

Vivec’s cool but it’s only possible because of a demi-god’s literal meddling around with the terrain, and it’s too easy to get lost.

Caldera’s also nice, as well as Pelagiad.

I know I just named like ten places but Morrowind’s got a lot of diversity and biomes.

I bought a Radeon 9800 Pro for my 13th birthday.

I tell you, people kept telling me that I was wasting my life in front of a computer – but I lived an entire fucking lifetime in Morrowind, to the age of 92.

I must have walked every single square meter or Vvardenfell, and this was before major walkthroughs existed.

I tried Arch once and they use Pacman for everything.

It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.

At least the AUR is cool.

One day, Linux will have a nice, unified, polished application portal (not store because god forbid we see a LINUX APP STORE).

For everything else there’s git.

Git clone Make Pacman -sY lethal company Sudo chmod +x ./home/user/games/lethal_company.x86_64

“Hold on guys I swear it works, Linux is just better, hold on”

AUR Proton_EasyAntiCheatHooks Man -k Nvidia-Propietary ./etc/Xserver.conf --display one --mode C1B3 --vsync off Sudo reboot -now
