  • The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices

  • Same here, except 64GB of RAM, I can't even remember how much that cost 4 years ago but I'm afraid to check the receipt at this point.

  • Isn't servo what FF uses for rendering? I thought they had built that layer from scratch in Rust.

    TIL Iran Has No Water Left, 28 Million People WITHOUT Water

    Jump

  • During the Palisades Fire in January 2025, firefighters experienced significant water pressure problems and some hydrants ran dry, hampering firefighting efforts in higher elevation areas. This was due to unprecedented demand overwhelming the local water system, which is designed for typical urban structure fires, not large-scale wildfires.

    Key Details on the Water Issues

    System Overload: The demand for water to fight the fire was four times the normal use for 15 straight hours, which lowered the water pressure. The local system, designed for individual house fires, could not handle a firestorm affecting multiple neighborhoods simultaneously.

    Dry Tanks: The three water storage tanks that supply the Palisades area from higher elevations were depleted and could not be refilled fast enough due to the high consumption rate at lower elevations.

    Empty Reservoir: The nearby 117-million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir, a potential lifeline, was empty at the time for a necessary repair of a tear in its protective cover, as required by public health regulations.

    Are you sure it had little to do with the water?

  • Fair point.. it's a very conservative floor number though lol. Doing some heavy lifting on the wording.

  • I figured the % would be significantly higher, like 40% at this rate.

  • Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

    Jump

  • I would say it's more like 1000 times more energy. Trillions of matrix math computations for a handful of tokens at max speed and CPU/GPU usage, compared to a 10 millisecond database query (or in wiki's case, probably mostly just easy direct edge node cache with no processing involved.)

  • Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”

    Jump

  • The problem with that is that it's so locked down now you need an account of X age with Y karma, so the majority of the site isn't something you can participate in. And I get it, lots of spam accounts and whatnot, but still shitty that they're a hair trigger away from destroying years worth of built up karma over nothing.

  • Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”

    Jump

  • I only got a warning, they said if I did it again I could face a site-wide ban though. Pretty disturbing that they're tracking upvotes to a post.. they said I also upvoted a Luigi comment.. but in both cases, they wouldn't tell me specifically which post or comment triggered it.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, while ChatGPT, a large language model, has 175 billion parameters (often referred to as "artificial neurons" in the context of neural networks). While ChatGPT has more "neurons" in this sense, it's important to note that these are not the same as biological neurons, and the comparison is not straightforward.

    86 billion neurons in the human brain isn't that much compared to some of the larger 1.7 trillion neuron neural networks though.

  • GIMP is unfortunately not a good competitor, the UX/UI is atrocious, and that's after spending 25 years using it now.. I switched to Krita for most things at this point. GIMP needs some sort of revamp.
