well, I'd say the filter is working correctly, filtering bots out of the site, isn't it?

what are your favorite machines? Eventually I've settled around the late 80s / late 90s slice of "retro" but I used to be much more interested in older ones

having said that, I'd [REDACTED] for _many_ machines before the 90s

Fair yes... I guess money also plays a role? The barrier is much lower for machines that are basically free grabs from the dumpster / those you still carry from your childhood, but as soon as you go back to the previous century it's all much more expensive and brittle

I mean, OK, but WinXP is 25yo at this point so... well

"eating around the table" scene from Alien. you know what happens next.

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

More like me not giving you any *s or error bars because this is a post and not a paper

Then maybe accusations should be backed by evidence and not vibes. These comments provide no evidence (actual or alleged) so they're already dangerous even if they land their shot.

(fuck I used overt twice in the same post, guess I'll never pass as an LLM :( )

Deleted an overtly aggressive post, sorry about that.

The point is not that overt examples of both sets aren't easy to recognize but that you will make mistakes when assessing examples in that fuzztly middle ground, and both false positives and false negatives hurt creators.

One of the most accurate and objective criticisms towards AI is how it muddies the line between facts and lies, yet the same people who wholeheartedly agree with that statement then go "nah I can tell these apart perfectly" when it comes to detecting AI content.

Is this a shader or real life signal bending? I'd say the latter but it coming from you... one cannot be sure

No sé si se dará cuenta pero una persona tan incapaz de entender la vida sin alcohol y tan ofendida con aquellos que sí la entienden no debe ser precisamente ni el mejor amigo ni el mejor marido.

Y esto lo digo como persona que bebe con moderación y que ha bebido muchas veces sin ella.

OTOH it may make it much easier for non-programmers to use code to solve their narrow needs where no specific tool exists (like, one-off scripts you write and forget).

Not to disagree with the sentiment behind this take but I think it "replacing" is not the word. In my limited experience, an LLM needs to be steered towards a good solution (by engineering standards). It may make the door of computing wider but the corridor ahead won't be any shorter.

As an end user I'd love this to turn into a cooperative effort to avoid fragmentation, hopefully you can find a large overlap in your goals and approaches!

So fucking close I don't regret sending 300+ emails anymore!

Now we gotta make sure those pushing for surveillance of european citizens get a swift kick in the ass down a hill 👍

I'm not the kind of person who boosts politics lest I go INSANE but I'm fucking tired of this never-ending situation.

If you are an EU citizen: send emails, call your MEPs, do whatever can be done to help put an end to this idiocy.

Smooth as butter.

Just out of curiosity: what was it?

This diagram seems a bit slow on my system (moving the slider is rather laggy). Not a deal breaker at all, the article is a delight, but maybe something you might consider (my PC is rather beefy, or well, it was 3 years ago I guess :D)

btw I'm running Firefox.

Nah unfortunately I have very little idea about these machines... I've never been able to find an affordable way to get into SGI machines so I know nothing about them.

Good luck tho, they are IMO probably the most interesting workstations out there :)

things I don't like

- expensive af
- proprietary af
- apparently, hard af to troubleshoot

:(

Wow, RISC-V is really gaining traction again.

Alibaba just announced the Xuantie C950…which is basically claiming Apple M1 (ish) levels of performance.



I don’t see a lot of people talking about it!



(2.6/Ghz SPECint 2017 points per Ghz, Apple M1 P-core also around ~2.6)

I'm sure you've spent more on public transport than the CRT itself :D

Good grab tho, it's always nice to save one of those

I know it's stupid and not their market segment and not happening but sometimes I daydream about what they would bring to life if they made a consumer computer.
