Sadly devops will be one of the first to go as AI progresses.

You should see if Arduino based computers fit the bill for you: https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Basic-PC-With-TV-Outpu...

OMG that is one adorable little mouse.

> I don't even know what is "janky" about the Firefox version

It is a bit too slow for me (tries my patience). Also Firefox does a weird multi-step transition to full-screen in which it changes to an intermediate video size which is larger than the current video size but smaller than the whole screen. I may be hallucinating this since I don't use Windows that often. I think the Firefox team agrees with me since they felt the need for a fade to/from black screen animation.

> If I was to describe what I'm feeling right now, I think "exasperation" would be the closest word but that doesn't really begin to describe how frustrating that sort of "evidence" for Chrome's superiority is.

I get that but I also provided a non-google example. Jupyter notebook on Firefox is laggy too (regardless of OS).

YouTube is particularly janky on Firefox on Windows. For example the full screen transition on Firefox uses a fade to / from black screen animation to hide the sluggishness. You have to disable this in about:config to see the behind the scenes jankiness.

Edge and Chrome (on windows) are slower than Chromium / Firefox on Linux for me but still faster than Firefox on Windows.

On Linux Chrome is faster than Firefox, but barely. IPython notebooks render seamlessly when scrolled in Chrome but the rendering is laggy in Firefox.

Machine spec: AMD 5800X Ryzen, 64GB RAM, 1TB Samsung Evo NVME SSD, NVIDIA 1660 Ti GPU

FWIW Firefox is only slow on Windows. It's much faster on Linux.

It was okay. Just don't use it to build large systems. It is known to create an unmaintainable mess.

It's just semantics at this point. You say pull I say push. A 24V supply can push twice as much current (through a resistor) as the 12V supply.

I am talking about a passive load (like a resistor). Increasing the voltage will push more current through it.

Moral of the story buy Android when everybody else has an iPhone.

Current can be "pushed" if you increase the voltage.

Just file the patent as your own self?

Good point.

Could have gone higher. Worth it in copper savings alone. IIRC the cars use AC motors. It needs to go through inverters anyway so there is some flexibility in how high you can go.

Edit: of course the motors are "AC" who would want a brush and commutator based motor in their car?

Printer ink is quickly approaching these price levels. I guess people have always loved to have some color in their lives.

Not so wild if you consider the fact that we don't live in the sea/ocean. There is a reason why we know more about land animals.

Regular people dont't have world clocks. Only people who need to care about this do.

LOL.

A two year old learns faster because it has inherited training data from its ancestors in the form of evolutionary memory. Think of it as a BIOS for human beings. The LLM takes longer to learn because we are building this BIOS for it. Remember it took billions of years for the human BIOS to be developed.

Every hypothesis is subject to questions about its validity. Including Moore's law but people still use it.

Optimizing energy use per task at will be a waste of time at this point of time, this will come later. The metric used by OpenAI seems to be more useful right now.

It is only a matter of time before we have true AGI. It's a hardware problem. We don't need to wait for someone to invent a clever algorithm for this. OpenAI knows this. See...

Power used is important but so is speed. For example right now I am sure the GPT cluster consumes power in the order of megawatts but you have to remember it serves thousands of users simultaneously.

I think China has a firewall and does not need cooperation from the content hosting platform for blocking content. India's internet is more like the internet in the US or EU than China.

~~BTW this is some heavy duty propaganda against India. They should at least link to some news articles about the muslims being killed in India. What a load of rubbish.~~

Edit: My bad the website does link to a news article: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/india-modi-technology-x-video...

If Alan Turing says ChatGPT is an AGI, it's good enough for me.

How does Apple do what? AFAICT Apple does not do research, at least at the same level or on the same topics as Google or Microsoft.

>150 ± 20 nmol s−1 cm−2

Isn't this miniscule? Is this commercially viable?

Edit: The molecular mass of nitrogen is 28, so 1 mol is 28 grams, so 150 nmol is 28 x150 nano grams = 4.2 micro grams. How much gas is this?

Don't care if the kernel needs it or not. I care about the things for which Windows uses it. Why is the icon a separate file on Linux?

> I also doubt Freedesktop are going to specify special ELF sections or something for icons

They should. It would stop my icons from disappearing / changing on me while Iam not looking.

> lashing out at their condition.

This may be part of it but in the end it is a gross mischaracterisation. They want Israel removed from the face of the earth. Remember their slogan: from river to the sea Palestine will be free.

Here is a lesson worth imbibing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog

A better name for GPUs would then be "Massively parallel processing units" or MPPUs.
