This person is likely in facilities, I doubt they are touching servers much after they’re racked. Maybe a crash cart is shit really hits the fan and ops can’t get in remotely.
They went from directly being responsible for AI to having nothing to do with it. My question is not unreasonable.
So when you said “Without me there is no AI,” what were you referring to?
Previously the equation was trying to get as much processing out of every kilowatt-hour, now the equation is trying to use as much energy as possible. The impact of AI eclipses IT loads from before by a massive margin, and because of the theory behind it will never, ever do any better than it is right now. The environmental impact should bother you because it’s massive and getting bigger.
And you’re helping set it up and keep it going. I know what it’s like to run a datacenter, I did it for a decade and a half. I’m not going to say I’m making more money now, but I do sleep much better.
My biggest problem with Hillary Clinton’s presidential run is that the DNC put their finger on the scales for her. She did not earn it, she was not owed it. The air of entitlement the entirety of the Democratic leadership showed was shameful, especially for a party named after popular votes.
Stick with MacOS, Apple isn’t shitting the bed nearly as hard as MS(lop). If you really want to switch, Mint is nice as a starter, and Bazzite, while intended for gaming, is mich, much more solid than I expected and is totally usable as a daily driver.
I bet Jake is still seeing stars from AJ.
Are you John Lithgow in Footloose?
You mean a fingerprint scanner? Like the ones that have been on all phones for years? Or, explicitly on the back, like the LG G3 did in 2014? The way you phrased that it seems like it was new information to you.
Windows 95 had the music video for Weezer’s Buddy Holly on the install disc.
If you still have a local non-chain pharmacy use them until they go out of business. They will eventually because the chains have a stranglehold on pricing and are actively raising costs for independents, then offering to buy the business as it founders.
Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus drugs is my refuge from pharmacies. It’s cheaper than the chains even if you have insurance, but I can’t be my Adderall through them.
Absolute truth. I haven’t run into a single game that doesn’t run on my second-from-top-of-the-line gaming PC I built last year under Linux. I know they exist because I see articles about a developer removing Proton support for odd reasons, but it hasn’t impacted me yet.
MS has largely made their own OS irrelevant by putting the Office Suite in the cloud. If you need Excel but don’t want Copilot throwing all your screengrabs to Redmond a box running Ubuntu or Mint or Bazzite or MacOS (a legit option for some people with niche applications that cater to the Apple crowd). MS is following the same playbook with the Xbox brand. If everything is an Xbox then why would you harness yourself to a crappy MS branded one?
Apple’s making it easy these days. Mac Minis are cheap and more than enough computer for 95% of people’s tasks, while also using sipping watts. I’m on a M4 Mac Mini and it’s using 3.91 watts right now. I’ve run it at full tilt for extended periods of time and I barely heard the fan. It even runs BG3 somehow.
That said, the power button being on the bottom is dumb but not a real issue. MacOS’s assumption that you’re going to be using a trackpad is annoying for those of us with nice mice. Actually, MacOS is just annoying in a lot of ways. I get that the bumpers are there to keep people from causing long lines at Genius Bars, but I wish there were just a single button that I could hit that tell the machine I know my way around a *nix and don’t need to be babied at every turn.
Are they going to try making them good vehicles for a change?
Kamala Harris finally sees which way the wind is blowing.
New, programmable analog chips that perform basic sound processing aren’t retro. The article is worth reading.
Jesus christ that man is a great comedian.
Very true. The last decade and a half have just been switching between round and square corners with mild spec bumps. VR was supposed to be it I think, but it just isn’t useful enough.
Flock drops the dime on our immigrant neighbors, causes human suffering and increases food prices. Thanks surveillance, I didn’t want any fresh lettuce anyway.
Loans for groceries is desperation. Loans for restaurant meals is straight idiocy.
