It’s also an 8 gigaparameter model. That’s pretty tiny, even if they use it heaps.

Poor spider. :c

50 GB in memory for a visual studio/programming project being a bigger project seems like rather an understatement, unless you’re working on machine learning, simulations, or something of that nature.

An ice-cream cake is better eaten with a spoon, for example.

I don’t know about that. It’s more likely to have been for categorisation reasons. They’re the same sort of disorder where severe Asperger’s has strong overlaps with ASD, so they might have been bundled together to avoid confusion when it comes to diagnosis.

Because the form of autism most people are familiar with is the high support needs versions, where someone will never mentally mature past being a child, and will need lifelong care.

ADHD doesn’t have that counterpart, so it and lower support needs autism were simply seen as personality failures and eccentricities that could be corrected, or left in place without harm.

“If only you would concentrate harder and were more careful”-type business. A lot of people still have that association with autism and ADHD.

…But I sure DO miss storage media that makes a satisfying “Kachunk” when loaded, and could be forcefully ejected like a spent artillery casing.

Older computers just have a nice mechanical ambiance that newer machines don’t replicate quite as well.

I don’t miss having the time to go make a cup of tea whilst waiting for the computer to turn on, or having the monitor scream the entire time it’s on, but I do miss hearing the hard drive spin-up, and all the POST beeps and drive stepper noises when the computer’s booting up.

All he made was some dinky algorithm. Google Bard could do that in three minutes flat smh.

They were also presented as being cheaper and more ethical. You didn’t risk being roped into paying a higher price because the cabbie deliberately took a long route, or be surprised by the price being different in person. You could order an Uber, and you’d pay only what was in the app.

On a related note, I personally hate the AI partner/friend ones as well, where it’s clearly preying on the lonely, insecure, or desperate. It’s dastardly, dystopian, and frankly, quite sad. How many children’s media show rich children as being quite miserable sods whose parents think that not having friendship can be resolved by buying their kids a friend?

You could easily see that being in a cyberpunk story, where you can rent a friend or partner from a megacorporation, but if you don’t pay the rent, they’ll be repossessed and deleted/destroyed. The data would be collected and used regardless.

Nor are a lot of cables. 100W is far more likely, at least for a while, since that was a standard for a fair while as it is.

Not really. It depends more on what wattage that the power supply can give, and what the laptop is willing to take. USB-PD is pretty smart, and will only give as much power as the laptop wants to take, up to the limit of the cable/power supply.

But if it’s capable of supplying the same wattage, it makes no difference if you’re giving it 65W by phone charger, or 65W by manufacturer power brick.

It’s the same process. Mpv uses yt-dl or yt-dlp on the back end when loading YouTube videos from the URL.

Which is quite a shame, really. I had a BTX Dell, which had amazing potential to be upgraded, since nearly everything was just spring latches, and could be slid open quite easily. You could install and swap most parts without a screwdriver.

The potential to upgrade it was there, and then it just never materialised, so the entire thing ended up basically being useless.

They’ve existed for quite a long time at this point.

That’s how virtual puppetry/V-Tubing works. The camera tracks your face, and then moves part of a corresponding model, and unlike face posing inside of Garry’s Mod, or something like that, since it’s bound to a real face, it would move more or less like a human face.

eventually passing the test will be a fail because the actions requested are either too difficult for humans to understand or too difficult for humans to perform, at which point AIs will be trained on knowing the physical limitations of humans.

This also exists for some forms of captcha, which track how you complete a puzzle, or something along those lines. A bot would either be completely stumped, complete it far more quickly than a human would, or do it by snapping their cursor to the relevant parts, instead of moving it.

The trick is to not care, and to confidently do it like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it clearly was.

The world of the wealthy runs on appearances. The worst thing you can do there is to be ashamed. Arguably better is to look at them with confident disdain for using a knife and fork to eat a pizza, in much the same way that they might for someone using a soup spoon for dessert.

For the pizza, it’s arguably more regional than wealth related. In a few countries, like parts of Italy and Sweden, it’s more common to eat pizza using cutlery rather than using your hands.

Whereas for other places, like other parts of Italy, it may be more common to use your hands for it instead. It very much depends on where, and the local culture more than anything else. But using your hands is as valid as using a knife and fork.

Fairly certain that they’re not supposed to be green.

Pink is, after all, not a colour of light. In which case, it is entirely reasonable for a pink unicorn to also be invisible.
