Anyone from the Q Continuum is probably the most powerful being in any fictional universe. They literally can do anything with a thought.

Airplane designs are constantly being updated just because the shape doesn’t have to be. Case in point, though developed in 1963, the latest generation of 747 (the 747-8i) started being delivered in 2012, with the last one in 2023, which is still relatively recent in airplane years.

For another example the B-52 was first introduced in 1955, but is on its 10th generation (B-52J) with updates to avionics as of 2020. So it doesn’t take much to find a good design and then just keep iterating and updating it.

To vintage’s point. The way I view it is there is no chance for AGI via the current method of hopped up LLM/ML but that doesn’t mean we won’t uncover a method in the future. Bio-engineering with an attempt to recreate a neural network for example, or extraction of neurons via stem cells with some sort of electrical interface. My initial point was that it’s way off, not that it’s impossible. One day someone will go “well, that’s interesting” and we’ll have a whole new paradigm

This is why AGI is way off and any publicly trained models will ultimately fail. Where you’ll see AI actually be useful will be tightly controlled, in house or privately developed models. But they’re gonna be expensive and highly specialized as a result.

Oh you sweet summer child… got some news for you….

I’m waiting to see what Hong Kong does and if they’ll switch to the Yuan. Right now the HKD is locked to the US Dollar in a small range, so they’re getting fucked too.

Wait. UE is an engine. A game should use an engine, not the other way around. What am I missing here?

Anyone know where I can actually get my hands on a B580 for non-scalped prices? I’ve been monitoring multiple sites for months and either it hasn’t come up or get snatched up in minutes

Almost had a Darwin Award candidate

That’s like saying “why are measles news? It happens more often than you think”

The point is: it shouldn’t be happening. We’re starting to see outward signs of a decaying system. If their personnel were correctly trained, with following proper procedures (for example, securing all equipment and vehicles to the deck) this wouldn’t happen.

It’s news because “it’s happening” period.

Only reason I’m replaying single player is they released the Enhanced Edition for free on Steam if you already owned it.

I read the names backwards and I was sad. Then I read it forwards and was happy.

Chūnibyō (中二病, lit. ‘middle-school second-year syndrome’) is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe adolescents with delusions of grandeur. These teenagers are thought to desperately want to stand out and convince themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.

The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

Probably not that many since I carefully curate my list and generally only listen to local artists or international that I’m familiar with.

Wait till you hear about 4’33”

This is one service I pay for and never had had to worry about ads. I can skip around, download and work it just like my offline music with no differences

Old school 4chan

We did it 1,500 miles across multiple states. Also when we ordered new servers we ordered fully built and cabled racks, shipped from HP in Juarez to our doors in giant crates, 52U high, fully cabled. Unpack, plug in power and uplinks and the entire rack was ready to go. We were getting like 2-3 of those a week.

Funny thing is, I’ve relocated DCs too and we did the opposite. We had rolling racks and we wrapped the entire rack with everything still in it and did a padded wrap with anti-tip indicators.

The biggest thing to watch out for was we used a temperature controlled truck to ensure there wasn’t a swing in humidity or temps to cause condensation and then let the racks sit in the new locations for 24 hours before power on

Moving 85 racks with literally hundreds of disks and we only lost 4 disks over the next 6 months which was in line with our normal failure rate. No need to tear down and re-rack.
