Doesn’t surprise me at all lol, technology is always broken

The irony is off the scales

If he would restart the war, why is he pushing for peace talks?

The war is both going worse than people expected it to go for him, and Russia is also making progress.

Stopping the war, then restarting it risks a restarting of the war being impossible due to Ukraine signing security treaties with NATO members, and Ukraine building it’s army up as a result of this war. Furthermore, given rolling the “invade Ukraine dice” went worse for Russia the first time than expected, why would they, or any similarly inclined nation, do it?

“I’d like a heterogeneous architecture sbc please”

They have played us for absolute fools.

One theory is that because there’s no private healthcare for some stuff e.g. A&E, in the UK, if you want good healthcare (as all the public healthcare is shit here), you’re better off going elsewhere that has both decent private and public healthcare.

But also, property is expensive in the UK in the four cities that matter (London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow). $1M is £800k, given at most half one’s wealth will go into one’s property, you’re looking at £400k. Compare what £400k gets you in those four UK cities, or even rural areas of the UK where it’s still expensive, to anywhere else lol.

If I was a millionaire, I’d ditch this island lol.

Well it wouldn’t be half of Ukraine, it would be about 20% by area and less than that by population.

Its worth noting the fighting for Ukraine to keep that 20% is done involuntarily. People are literally being forced to die, make their partners widows, traumatise their family, for this 20%.

It’s easy enough sacrificing hundreds of thousands of other people’s lives (I’m assuming you’re not typing this from the donbas) for this small rural farming end of Ukraine, but that doesn’t make it right.

Andor was worth the 250m they spent on it

Fucking hell

Okay, so some of the advances that chatGPT uses (consumer GPUs for training) are even older? 😁

As far as I can find out, there was only one use of GPUs prior to alexnet for CNN, and it certainty didn’t have the impact alexnet had. Besides, running this stuff on GPUs not CPUs is a relevant technological breakthrough, imagine how slow chayGPT would be running on a CPU. And it’s not at all as obvious as it seems, most weather forecasts still run on CPU clusters despite them being obvious targets for GPUs.

It’s been a long road

AlexNet is related, it was the first use of consumer gpus to train neutral networks no?

ChatGPT didn’t begin 18 months ago, the research that it originates from has been ongoing for years, how old is alexnet?

Preemptive nuclear strikes on all gpu chip fabs? There’s only like 7 of them

If one’s made one’s software well, the easiest UI to make is one that’s easy to use

If I’m buying a bus ticket, i shouldn’t have to troubleshoot imo

Lot’s of software is just shit/hard to use

Interesting that we’ve made progress on world hunger to the extent that 1 in 5 kids is now overfed, I swear when i grew up we were told child hunger was ubiquitous in the majority of the world’s population

Sending positive energies

Yup. Even +5C of warming only has a medium impact on agricultural production rates. This graph is cringe.
