There are a stupidly surprising number of fascists in this town. I blame Governor Hot Wheels.

I still see a lot of ‘em here in Austin.
- Comment on What are super-computers used for ? 5 days ago:
I’ll toss in my two cents.
It’s mainly about handling and processing vast amounts of data. Many times more than you or I may deal with on a day to day basis. First, you have to have somewhere to put it all. Then, you’ve got to load whatever you’re working with into memory. So you need terabytes of RAM. When you’re dealing with that much data, you need beefy CPUs with crazy fast connections with a ton of bandwidth to move it all around at any kind of reasonable pace.
Imagine opening a million chrome tabs, having all of them actively playing a video, and needing to make sense of the cacophony of sound. Only instead of sound, it’s all text, and you have to read all of it all at once to do anything meaningful with it.
If you make a change to any of that data, how does it affect the output? What about a million changes? All that’s gotta be processed by those beefy CPUs or GPUs.
Part of the reason AI data enters need so much memory is because they’ve got to load increasingly large amounts of training data all at once, and then somehow have it be able to be accessed by thousands of people all at once.
But if you want to understand every permutation of whatever data you’re working with, it’s gonna take a ton of time to essentially sift through it all.
And all that’s gotta be hardware? You have to make doubly sure that the results you get are accurate, so redundancies are built in. Extremely precise engineering of parts, how they’re assembled, and how they’re ultimately used is a lot of what makes supercomputers what they are. Special CPUs, RAM with error correction, redundant connections, backups… it all takes a lot of time, space, and money to operate.

Shoot them dead like they’ve done to us.
- Comment on I Can’t Sell You Laptops Anymore (video) (enshittification of computer repair) 1 week ago:
Except the RAM that’s getting made for AI bullshit isn’t regular DDR5 sticks. It’s useless in a regular PC.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"? 1 week ago:
And joysticks.
- Comment on Micron addresses Crucial exit backlash: 'We are trying to help consumers around the world' — company warns that DRAM drought could last until at least 2028 2 weeks ago:
No, assholes, you’re helping yourselves. You’re a company, you go where the money is. It’s never about helping the customer.
- Comment on Is there anyway I can screw around with ICE? I need a new hobby I come from a long line of immigrants. If i send my home address and phone number will they actually come and deport me to choose a cntr 3 weeks ago:
And I think you should go fuck yourself, Nazi.
- Comment on What should the next President of the United States do? 3 weeks ago:
As a Texan with no hope of ever being able to leave the country: please. I’m ready for it to be over.
- Comment on Is there a science educator who shows in a video how they hand wash dishes? 3 weeks ago:
Soap. Start with the rough side of the sponge to get the big bits off, then the other side to finish it off. Dry with a clean towel.
Or toss ‘em in the dishwasher.

The Celestial plane, obviously.

Only if you already have a ton of money, and it won’t be what you think.
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 1 month ago:
As someone smack dab in the middle of that range, I’ve only in the last couple of years even figured out what I’d even go to school for.

Just go to the grocery store and buy some?
- Comment on Balcony Solar is coming to the USA, sort of 1 month ago:
I mean, that’ll offset lights and idle appliances, at least. Or even a fairly beefy PC.
- Comment on How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? 2 months ago:
Love is something you do, not something you feel.
- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 2 months ago:
It really depends on the quality and amount of sleep I’ve gotten. Lately it’s been pretty bad, so it takes me a bit to ‘wake up’ so to speak.

Maff
- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 2 months ago:
Yes, when I was younger. Parents then informed me I was adopted when I was three months old. Mom can’t have kids of her own. As an adult, I got a DNA test and ended up finding my biological mom and half-brother. I’m really glad I was adopted.

Road laws exist to make driving predictable. Breaking those laws makes you unpredictable, and thus a danger. If you want to race, find a track.
