  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

  • Keep spreading the good word, brother. Amen.

  • China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

    Jump

  • Thank you for the link, it was very interesting.

    Even though analogue neural networks have the drawback that you can't copy the neuron weights (currently, but tech may evolve to do it), they can still have use cases in lower powered edge devices.

    I think we'll probably end up with hybrid designs, using digital for most parts except the calculations.

  • What's a genre of music you're waiting to have a resurgence?

    Jump

  • Every genre is deeply connected to the time it appeared and the events that shaped it.

    I don't expect punk rock to have a resurgence any more than I expect disco music to come back. They had their time and function. They will influence new things to come as did all the stuff that came before.

    Having said that, I expect everything will become a mishmash of AI slop, so who knows?

  • This was bound to happen. Neural networks are inherently analog processes, simulating them digitally is massively expensive in terms of hardware and power.

    Digital domain is good for exact computation, analog is better for approximate computation, as required by neural networks.

  • Fellow 'Fediversers,' what keeps you hanging on here despite the "FV" being a work-in-progress, with all its built-in, various bumps & difficulties to experience along the way?

  • It's a quiet life.

  • Finally, an optimistic view of the situation.

    Can we talk about the people who use Linux?

    Jump

  • What's your point? If Windows is working for you, keep using it.

  • Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S)

    Jump

  • How I'm doing it: setup nginx-proxy-manager as frontend and put all services behind it, using different names (cloud.home, media.home, etc) but with the same IP (the proxy IP).

  • Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?

  • I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?

  • Do you use a system-default or a custom wallpaper for your personal computer? If custom, what kind of wallpaper & why?

    Jump

  • I've been known to say "look, my next desktop wallpaper!" before taking a picture.

  • Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

    Jump

  • There are alternatives. I bought a Lenovo direct from their site with no OS installed. The saving from not having Windows was enough to afford double the RAM.

  • What do all you coders actually do?

    Jump

  • Something something Jira something scrum agile Confluence something another meeting something hit tab and let copilot do it and repeat.

  • What do you get recognised for on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Every bit counts. Thank you.

    Tired of Microsoft?

    Jump

  • I have an issue with ReactOS. It's not technical, I'm sure technically it's great.

    Any software that tries to mimic proprietary technology will always be subject to the whims of said technology owners, be it patents, undocumented APIs, broken legacy APIs maintained for retro compatibility.

    This much can be said of Wine, but that is pretty much just a wrapper for games, not a full OS, so it's not critical.

    I hope I'm wrong, and please enlighten me if I'm wrong.

    Why the Atheist should also believe in God?

    Jump

  • I tried to demonstrate that much, by applying logic and critical thinking. Unfortunately, logic does not work on religious people.

    The whole exchange was like trying to grab a piece of gelatin using chopsticks.

    It nevertheless gave me some insight on how religious minds operate.

    Why the Atheist should also believe in God?

    Jump

  • I once took the time to debate religion with a Jehovah's witness. His reasoning went like this:

    10 print "God exists because the Bible says so"

    20 print "The Bible was written by God, so it is true"

    30 go to 10

    After a couple of rounds on that loop I gave up and never opened the door again.

    It seems that you can't be a good person if you are not part of some herd.

  • What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?

    Jump

  • Chevron 7 locked.

    I was just watching that, it's still one of my favorite shows.
