  I don’t remember the meme from anything to do with homestar runner, I remember it from pictures of dogs (mainly Shiba Inu);with horribly misspelled uplifting messages written in colorful comic sans

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So again, that would be something like “dowg” or “doggeh” instead of “doggie”

  Not “doj”

  I never heard anyone read it as “doj” until about when Elon Musk started pushing that pronunciation, which was based on an old English word for a feudal lord or something, not how people automatically read that spelling

  I feel like you’re just be wasting my time on purpose, why would anyone actually read it like that? You’re probably trolling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Weak gaslighting attempt

  Misspelling doggie as doge doesn’t change the pronunciation to “doj” or necessarily at all

  Learn how spelling and pronunciation work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The original meme does seem to be a misspelling of doggie, not a use of the old English term pronounced “doj”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dog-e-coin

  I am serious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped taking the creators opinions on doggie coin seriously when they started calling it doj coin

  Btw, notice that the Monero community is way more active than Ethereum or doggie coin in decentralized platforms like piefed/Lemmy or nostr

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The “dogecoin” spelling has been ruined by people calling it “doj coin”

  And market cap isn’t relevant, nor is whoever “electric capital developer” is or whatever chat bots you’re calling “the most developers”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Incorrect again. You mentioned Ethereum which nobody cares about, you can’t call Monero “not major” after that. The only cryptocurrencies that matter are Bitcoin, doggie coin, and Monero

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A small one would still be plenty of GPU

  And the big ones could still need to liquidate old stuff when it starts using too much power compared to newer stuff, even if it still works (though someone in this thread claimed data centers burn through GPUs too fast)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Incorrect. Monero and others still use GPU based mining

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I try not to call them GPUs, though it’s hard to avoid.

  But I didn’t know they’re not even capable of rendering graphics at a deeper level than just not having a video output.

  It sounds like you definitely know some stuff I don’t, but wouldn’t it be smart for these companies to bid a bit more if they could, to make these builds with more resellable parts instead of using these crazy server rack combo platters?

  I still think it’s an economy controlled top down by the authorities that makes this “profitable,” but when you boil it down it’s just them making special stuff for themselves they don’t want to share with us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People years ago said the cards used for crypto mining took too much power and cooling for gamers, but later we got gaming cards that take pretty much the same power and cooling as some of them.

  I hope you’re right and that doesn’t happen this time. It’s gone too far already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn’t mean it would be near useless to just add video outputs to neural net cards though.

  Used data center GPUs might be equivalent to a low end or outdated GPU with extra VRAM, but there would be so many of them on the market, you’d see stuff like games being optimized differently to make use of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This all applies to cryptocurrency miners too.

  In fact, it might be even more relevant there, because crypto miners compete so hard on electric bill costs, they definitely have to plan on liquidating equipment when it gets old enough, even if it still works.

  If this was all real business and not just the authorities controlling people, Nvidia would have competition offering similar cards with video outputs for a few cents more because they make more business sense. But instead, it would be super expensive to add video outputs to specialized cards, because it would “cannibalize sales” for graphics cards later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  More detailed explanation of the dynamics behind this:

  Companies like OpenAI would be smart to pay a few extra cents per unit for video outputs to help prevent depreciation if they need to liquidate assets later. But it probably costs way more than a few extra cents per unit, because the chipmakers have a monopoly. The chipmakers know nobody else has been allowed to build the same level of chip fabrication tech they have, so all customers will have to pay the prices they set.

  Therefore, if openAI wanted to add video outputs to their cards, Nvidia has no financial reason to allow prices lower than the revenue that would be lost by consumers not needing to pay for the same chips to be made again with video outputs later.

  But that’s not some genius calculation Nvidia is making to outsmart everyone. You don’t have to be smart or superhumanly profit-maximizing to figure out that you’re being given the authority to set prices when it is given to you. Furthermore, a random group of mid-IQ psychopaths would never be given authority to set these prices in a market of real businesses and genius entrepreneurs competing to maximize profit.

  You’re supposed to believe:

  1. The authorities printed this money because they wanted more money
  2. They forgot the goal was to have more money for themselves, and they accidentally distributed the money through things like wages and bank loans while running out of ink
  3. For the millionth time, they remembered they want as much money as possible and they need all that money back because ink will never be sold on the open market again
  4. They don’t want to just force you to give all the money back at gunpoint, that would risk destabilizing their authority, so they have to basically outsmart you into giving the money back, just like all the other times this has happened
  5. Every time this happened in the past, they split up into corporate teams to make it a game seeing who could come up with the smartest plans to get money from you, and that’s become a strong standing tradition where these corporate teams stay in place eager to play more money game
  6. They make today’s money the “ball” for yet another session of the money game
  7. The authorities that went in Team Nvidia for this round are winning this round because they figured out a genius strategy to scoop up a bunch of money with this AI bubble, and then years later, also finish getting the last bits of money from people buying GPUs again because the AI bubble cards don’t have video outputs
  8. Remember, they are not doing this on purpose, these are just the kind of mistakes you get out of geniuses who are obsessed with getting as much money as possible. They don’t mean to forget the goal of printing the money and accidentally distribute it through wages and bank loans and stuff, but even the smartest most money-obsessed person just forgets stuff like that over and over. They don’t do this for the love of the game, they do it because they’re very smart and they want more money, but just not smart enough or desperate enough for more money to avoid forgetting why they printed it and accidentally distributing it yet again, triggering yet another round of this money game that they insist is a side effect of the real goal of more money. They’re also not smart enough to realize affordable ink sources will probably be found someday to print more money again, just like all the other times this has happened.

  What actually happened:

  1. The authorities printed more money because they wanted stuff people would give them for it
  2. People will give them stuff for the money mainly because they want the stuff they can get with it too, but they can’t just print it like the authorities can, so they get the money by giving the authorities stuff so they can use the money from the authorities to get other stuff
  3. Therefore, if the authorities want to keep offering money in return for stuff, they should also offer stuff in return for money - and they can make it profitable for themselves by offering as little money as possible in return for stuff, and as little stuff as possible in return for money
  4. They also have authority over the production of computer equipment
  5. They wanted a bunch of computer equipment for themselves, but not for you, so they made it special for themselves and not for you
  6. This way they will still be able to offer as little as possible for the most money possible
  7. They didn’t distribute the money accidentally after forgetting the goal was to have as much money as possible - they printed the money to offer it for other stuff they wanted. They didn’t and still don’t have some strange desire for more of the money they can freely print, and if they did, it would be weird that they’re trying to get it from people they gave it to instead of just printing more, since they’re well aware ink is available and affordable to just print more

  I wonder if I’ll end up in prison for any of the projects I work on even as a non-coder. Hopefully the devs doing the actual coding work on these projects can keep themselves more anonymous and safe than me at least

  Idk about piefed/lemmy but I don’t see this stuff working on nostr

  Yeah, also true. Autocorrect on Android was already like a micro GPT

  You’re absolutely correct. Battery and RAM usage too hard to manage for now, phone makers will probably wait until the tech gets further before experimenting with this publicly

  Not reading all that, see previous reply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are you putting your own statement in quote marks? Seems like you’re trying to pretend you can’t understand the difference between my statements and what you just said

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who are the people who pretend to know nothing about weapons but do?

  Mainly donors and lobbyists, I guess.

  It’s an oversimplification - it’s more like they confuse you about who’s making the decisions, than that they pretend to know less than they do. But when they formulate arguments based on lies, that’s also pretending to know less than they do, so the oversimplification isn’t actually wrong.

  Complex thing being described simply: decisions are made by people who know how guns work, but a public figure announcing a decision might embarrass himself talking about guns. He might know how guns work, and just be pretending not to. But if he actually knows how guns work, the people sending him out to do the public speaking are the ones “pretending not to know more” - or rather, making you think “wow this guy is an idiot” instead of “wow these decisions are being made by lying donors and lobbyists.”

  Simpler thing that makes it kinda correct: even if the guy doing the public speaking genuinely doesn’t know how guns work, it’s still dishonest of his handlers to send him up, and in the process, they still make false arguments that omit their knowledge on the topic, meeting the exact original statement.

  I’m sure the old WW2 German Nazis would have disagreed with me if I lived then, for thinking defeating them was a good idea.

  I just don’t think it matters. Not all opinions are equal. I’m basically just better than people who think my best ideas are bad.

  I am not helping you chuds grow Truth Social after you banned me from the Donald Trump subreddit after the one time I voted for him 9 years ago. If you’re having trouble getting people to join your new thing now, I’m laughing at you - I’m not the person to ask for help.

  I have not quite given up on finding a piefed/lemmy community where this will be appreciated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is very good use of the format.

  Until someone can think of a better format for the same meme, and then it would be downgraded to just a good use of the format, not very good.

  But that hasn’t happened yet.

  I’ll copy and paste so you can try again, maybe it just takes you a few tries to read things correctly:

  I understand political memes are prohibited here, but my last meme was borderline political and people liked it. This one is more directly political, but every community I’ve posted it in so far has hated it, so I’m trying here.
