Says the person who was jealous of their cool custom cursors 😎

Look at that man, operating a nuclear powerplant terminal with a Starcraft cursor

No

Hold on, this doesn’t make any sense

Venezuela was invaded, Saudi is voluntarily selling their oil, and Iran — ohhhhhhhhhh

Interesting. I always wondered if a man was worth his salt, based on their salary

Again??

Is there a navy shooting down commercial airliners by accident or something?

Bike chains can retain up to 82% efficiency completely unlubricated, though they slowly take damage.

Weird factoid about chains

I’ve also successfully lubricated one using vegetable oil in an emergency, it worked shockingly well

TLDR: It’s because of the brain. AI makes us less productive.

I’m a frontier AI model trainer/developer; I get to do whatever I want, and I decided to eat my own dog food, talking to my own model about optimizations to itself.

While I thought initially that I was “working faster” because it felt faster, I was smart about it and ran stopwatches and timers for objective productivity measurements.

What I found was that I spent on average, 20-30 more minutes on the same problems that I would have solved unassisted by AI. So in my specific case, I was up to 50% slower than I would have been on my own, despite feeling like it was faster.

To make matters worse, I had difficulty recalling what specific issues/problems that I had asked the model for help with, and I feel as though this is due to the discrete architecture statistical mean of speculative decoding — the LLM wants you to say a specific thing so it has to do less lookup work, but by doing so, your human brain (which is very lazy) agrees with this default mode and fucking turns itself off.

Crazy, right? Whodathunk it. We have our brains for a reason.

Being too cynical about everything makes one an insufferable bastard, deprived of joy.

If I had to guess, the console was probably not unloading levels properly (software), and was relying on the save/load system to do so.

By playing through 80% of the game without ever saving, you were an edge case the developers never intended for, and the console probably just ran out of RAM.

Trying to load another chunk into already full RAM would trigger an OOM (out of memory) crash.

Darkish blue armor, custom faction or ultrasmurfs?

I mean, yes and no: he was a cynic, but he also did things like masturbate in public during Aristotle’s lectures.

There’s a fine line between living your principles and trolling for the sake of it (Diogenes, not you)

Huh? Why not?

There’s so many memes of basketball players thanking god for their good shots and such

Welcome to the retirement home

We all run Linux here

It is the Year of the Linux Desktop… in 2030~~~

Two stalkers are walking in the woods and come across a guy with a giant backpack, face down, surrounded by various mushrooms.

They check him over and he’s got enough packaged food, rations, and medical supplies to easily last someone well over a year.

They flip him over, obvious signs of mushroom poisoning, old signs of mouth frothing.

The two of them look at each other and one says to the other: “I think he was a prepper. I don’t think he prepped on becoming a lootbox in the woods, though”

You mean the odd shaped candleholder?

It’s so you could use candles of different sizes from different vendors without needing a distinct candelabra for each one.

It’s a genuinely useful thing to have because the small metal balls would always keep it upright regardless of the shape of the candle. You’d just need to match the diameter of the hole.

Here you go friend!:
