- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 3 days ago:
Whatever HR systems they’re using are designed one way, and they aren’t designed to interface with whatever file type your resume is. And they likely never will be.
- Comment on What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads? 5 days ago:
Because all your testosterone receptors are on the top of your head, and when those receptors are doing their job the chemical that’s released has the side effect of inhibiting hair growth.
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 6 days ago:
And it's agreed that both Grey and Gray are acceptable variants, and they will be right up until they aren't for one arbitrary reason or another.
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 6 days ago:
All language is made up. There is no ‘correct’.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 1 week ago:
Jobs paid enough so one person could stay home is how it worked. Growing up, dad made all the money and mom stayed home to do chores and whatnot. It’s just how things worked. These days mom’s living off of dad’s retirement fund since he died early and she’s always surprised when I have to ask her for money even though its her generation that made the world what it is. Even when I am able to find work my wife and I are check to check. It’s stupid.

More like bail, but I get you.

Wait, that's not right!

What about those of us that aren’t using Lemmy?
- Comment on Part of internet most harmful to teens? 1 month ago:
Anything that scrolls infinitely and provides content via algorithm. Shit, it’s harmful for anyone, but especially impressionable teens.

I doubt we’ll ever recover from this.
- Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery? 2 months ago:
Yep. 9 times out of 10 Uber will refund me basically instantly, and I don’t have to talk to anyone. I’m able to put in complex delivery instructions, put a pin on a map where it needs to be delivered, and even provide photos of where I want my stuff dropped off. I don’t get that elsewhere, and nobody seems to be able to find my apartment without any of it.
- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 4 months ago:
I never had a food-named pet until recently. My latest cat is named Triscuit.

I still see a lot of ‘em here in Austin.
- Comment on What are super-computers used for ? 4 months 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.

Except the RAM that’s getting made for AI bullshit isn’t regular DDR5 sticks. It’s useless in a regular PC.

- 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 5 months 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 5 months ago:

- Comment on Is there a science educator who shows in a video how they hand wash dishes? 5 months 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.

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.
