That’s “Bare” NVMe, the linux kernel supports such devices but I really fail to see the fucking poing™
Apple of course probably did so to fuck the consumer

A battery
A highly complex system with support systems to prevent it from literally blowing up (mmmmm tasty lithium)
A battery management system
A seriously complex piece of model specific code that is usually proprietary and has hardware level bricking fuses (so fuck you if it has a fault)
And also, all the other management shit like regen braking and what have you.
You’re doing a “reduction”. If you reduce literally anything to such high abstraction it seems simple. Yes, quantum physics is also " just " an observation of a continuous system, nothing to it mate
ICE cars can be completely reassembled with a couple of wrenches. The most proprietary thing in the whole system is the ECU, and you can swap that and whatever if you wish to do so.

What? The cybernetic system is not a mechanic?
- Comment on Fuck cars 2 weeks ago:
90% of your power train is proprietary electronics that are designed to be opaque and break of you try and “tamper” with them
Most of an ICE car is tangible, rather widely replicable, blocks of metallic alloys
- Comment on Fuck cars 2 weeks ago:
So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you’re SoL without official manufacturer support.
EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often

Go play Deus Ex in the same genre, or some cyberpunk based CRPGs. Those games lots of mechanics that play into the game, DXMD’s Augment system wipes it’s ass with Cyberpunk’s Chrome for one.
Also it would help if they didn’t rush the story so much, it was a product of crunch and it shows. You can fix the bugs but you can’t fix fundamental problems with pacing

There is a HUGE compilation on the subreddit for cyberpunk2077, but basically we got promised a vast, in depth RPG and instead got something mechanically on part with GTA Vice City and Call of Duty

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 2 weeks ago:
It has a LOT of content cut from the board game, and the world is still incredibly shallow outside scripted gameplay
If you consider this anything more than a FPS game with cyberpunk aesthetics, I weep for your perception of quality
Fucking Watch Dogs 2 had a more interactive world, for crying out loud

Quit that shit. Maybe relapsed once or twice and still beat myself over it.
However, I’m probably not quitting weed for the foreseeable future, but I pace myself heavily with that (twice a month max)

Yes well google translate sucks
However datafag is rad as shit so I’m going to invoke law of cool vs boring
- Comment on faen 2 weeks ago:
You should bring back the usage of datafag as fast as possible
- Comment on faen 2 weeks ago:
Use it as a part of some other compound. It will translate fine.
For example, try slutt datafag lærd
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 2 weeks ago:
I can’t really provide any further insight without finding the damn paper again (academia is cooked) but Inference is famously low-cost, this is basically “average user damage to the environment” comparison, so for example if a user chats with ChatGPT they gobble less water comparatively than downloading 4K porn (at least according to this particular paper)
As with any science, statistics are varied and to actually analyze this with rigor we’d need to sit down and really go down deep and hard on the data. Which is more than I intended when I made a passing comment lol
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 2 weeks ago:
According to arxiv.org/abs/2405.21015
The absolute most monstrous, energy guzzling model tested needed 10 MW of power to train.
Most models need less than that, and non-frontier models can even be trained on gaming hardware with comparatively little energy consumption.
That paper by the way says there is a 2.4x increase YoY for model training compute, BUT that paper doesn’t mention DeepSeek, which rocked the western AI world with comparatively little training cost (2.7 M GPU Hours in total)
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 2 weeks ago:
This particular graph is because a lot of people freaked out over “AI draining oceans” that’s why the original paper (I’ll look for it when I have time, I have a exam tomorrow. Fucking higher ed man) made this graph
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 2 weeks ago:
This is actually misleading in the other direction: ChatGPT is a particularly intensive model. You can run a GPT-4o class model on a consumer mid to high end GPU which would then use something in the ballpark of gaming in terms od environmental impact.
You can also run a cluster of 3090s or 4090s to train the model, which is what people do actually, in which case it’s still in the same range as gaming. (And more productive than 8 hours of WoW grind while chugging a warmed up Nutella glass as a drink).
Models like Google’s Gemma (NOT Gemini these are two completely different things) are insanely power efficient.
