We’re hitting logarithmic scaling with the model trainings. GPT-5 is going to cost 10x more than GPT-4 to train, but are people going to pay $200 / month for the gpt-5 subscription?

it’s all just curling some jsons and slapping some paint and shit on top of that.

Doing lines in the bathroom is also more fun at the office with your fellow salesmen compared to alone in your home.

my password is just 20 gigabytes of poop emojis.

even a 5600 would be a massive leap for about $100. Add something like a used 6600XT or a 3060 and you’ll be back at current gen gaming at around $300€ total.

if you pay for a thing it’s pretty hard to avoid giving a cut to amazon these days.

HR had some bug in their system and I got about two extra weeks (7 total) for a few years, but I didn’t complain about the bug.

Linux is second nature to us IT people, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows basic shell scripting and how to build programs from git repos.

You don’t have to compile your own kernels you know that right?

cat pipeing is safer though.

foobar > file and your file is gone.

I wouldn’t pay the premium to be a beta tester for Qualcomm for the new Snapdragons. They’ll be cheaper, have better drivers and more laptops to choose from in a couple of years.

The new Snapdragon laptops are getting 15h+ of battery life, which is a couple of hours less than the new Macs (macs have bigger batteries) in the same benchmarks. The next gen Ryzen AI 300 Omnibook is said to have 20h+… but why do people want so much out of their battery? I’ve only used laptops for work and I can’t remember being more than a couple of hours at a time outside a dock.

I admit that I work faster with AI help and if people get more stuff done in less time there might be less billable hours in the future for us. But AI did not replace me, a 10 times cheaper dude from India did.

I had the intention of reinstalling my windows because it was like from back when win10 was new and the winsxs folder was so big that a 100GB partition was not enough for just windows with all the 3rd party programs installed on another partition… but I noticed that all my games run on Linux so I ended up wiping the 100GB nvme windows partition and moving my dual boot Linux there. I’ve been without windows for a couple of months now and I haven’t really missed it.

but how can the chips reach the advertised performance while being undervolted? especially damaged chips.

Here’s a list of acceptable things to say to strangers in a gym:

• Are you using that?
• How many sets do you have left?
• Could you spot me? (only for bench)

None of these should turn the stranger into someone you know. None of these should lead to intercourse.
