I like the theory that the word is made to look like the animal. The s is the face, the h is the fin, and the k is the tail: shark. I'm sure that's not actually true but it is fun lol

- Comment on Me attending "AI University" at work today 2 weeks ago:
I know right?? I actually feel cheated because I was promised something the school failed to offer to me. They had me write a review of the program this past semester and I was not particularly kind.
At least learning resources for my actual areas of interest are generally freely available to learn on my own time... and an MS looks good on a resume...
I'm actually considering work in the public sector at this point so I can have a work/life balance and actual benefits. Used to be the private sector had better long-term career prospects, but tbh I'd rather take the pay cut and escape the corporate dehumanization.
The FOSS community has been a great outlet for my actual interests because I can use what I know to help people instead of feeding into the technocratic slop machine. It's also been helpful in finding areas where I'd enjoy specializing.
- Comment on Me attending "AI University" at work today 2 weeks ago:
As a student, I feel this so hard. My school canceled every Master's-level class section with less than 15 students and now I'm stuck in 3 16-week AI/ML-centric classes. I suppose I'll at least be well prepared to sit through useless mandatory trainings once I enter the workforce, if I can find a job. I'd say I'm more than ready to graduate so I can be rid of this AI bullshit but I think I really just want to move somewhere remote and become a hermit.
- Comment on I found another one 2 weeks ago:
My best guess is that it has something to do with most render pipelines using CPU frame scheduling. Since the GPU can only process shaders, the CPU has to do e.g. input logic, reading textures from disk, etc. So in most engines, the CPU gives the GPU basic directions for each frame, and then the GPU goes off to process them while the CPU prepares the next set of directions.
If the CPU isn't fast enough, the GPU sits around waiting for instructions and it causes stuttering and FPS drops. If the GPU isn't fast enough, instructions from the CPU queue up and it causes input lag. To get around the input lag, most engines intentionally drop frames and decrease FPS (basically forcing the CPU to wait) in order to keep everything in sync.
TL;DR The CPU runs the game logic and the GPU displays the result, so the GPU can only render frames as fast as the CPU can prepare them and vice-versa.

- Comment on Why do some users have zero upvotes on their posts/comments? 7 months ago:
I'm on Mbin and there is no auto upvote, so every comment/post starts at zero. I could be wrong but I think it actually removes the self-upvote from posts/comments if they have it.
