Compared to “6, 7” it’s creative enough

I don’t follow the AI bubble trend at all. But I have been seeing alot of videos all of a sudden, popping up in my recommended talking about it. Who knows.

A few banks started issuing warnings, and some of the “biggest upcoming launches” were extremely underwhelming, like Sora 2 and GPT 5. Not only that, but the companies going all in on replacing workers with AI are still not showing a clear return on investment, so this combination is making people more aware about the bubble.

That’s where you fit your iPod

Nicely written comment bro, you look marvelous today

“1000x faster?” Learn to lie better

Analogue computers are indeed capable of doing a task 1000x faster than a regular computer. The difference is they do only that task, in a very specific way, and with one specific type of output. You can 3D print at home an “analogue computer” that can solve calculus equations, it can technically be faster than a CPU, but that’s the only thing it can do, it’s complex, and the output is a drawing on paper.

If you come up with a repeatable and precise set of mechanical movements that are analogous to the problem you want to solve, you can indeed come up with headlines like that.

Too much extra money and not enough beach houses to spend it all!

Sure, but the scientists doing those kinds of workflows don’t have anywhere near the money to burn on GPUs

I’m working in a lab that is purchasing a cluster with a price tag you wouldn’t believe even if I could share it, which I can’t. We are publicly funded. Scientists are buying this hardware, for this price, because the speed up we get is tremendous.

but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.

You’re delusional if you think GPUs are of little value. LLMs and fancy image generation are a bubble.

The gargantuan computational cost of running the machine learning processing that is now required for protein folding and molecular docking is not.

I wish. Even knowing it’s all a gigantic scam, they’ll first protect themselves before letting it burst and screw everybody else. The rich get a buffer period.

But full bitrate 4k from a Blu-ray IS better.

Full Blu-Ray quality 1080p sources will look significantly better than Netflix 4K.

Hence why “4K” doesn’t actually matter unless your panel is gigantic or you’re sitting very close to it. Resolution is a very small part of our perceived notion of quality.

It’s the screen size that makes a difference

Not by itself, the distance is extremely relevant. And at the distance a normal person sits away from a large screen, you need to get very large for 4k to matter, let alone 8k.

I’m saying both: for your personal life, don’t use Windows and complain about it - use the much better alternatives, and the software that work on those.

But for work… it also makes no sense to keep complaining about Windows or AutoDesk or whatever software you’re forced to use. Sure, they suck, but work is work, close the door on your way back home and that’s when your life actually matters - who cares if a simple task took ages because Windows decided to force an update? Laugh about it, imagine how your boss had to pay for the software AND lose efficiency so make even less money because of this decision.

Fired for what? I didn’t say refuse to do your job. I said don’t waste any sleep if the software is bad.

If you’re referring to work software… then it’s not your problem. Who cares if it works well?

“Hey, that 30 second task you asked about is taking 30 minutes instead because the software we are forced to use sucks”

They paid for the software, now let they either deal with the fact it’s terrible or let them call the support center and ask for their help making the software work better. This “support” is often the entire reason they use to justify paying for the software, so go ahead, make use of it.

Either way, not your problem.

Uses proprietary software.

Complains when proprietary software limits your freedom.

I am very persuasive and very round

Do you believe there is truly not a single valid reason to use windows whatsoever?

Yes.

Before a relatively recent fix, Linux would mount and expose the folders that contain critical firmware data on your motherboard, meaning you could brick several models of motherboard by deleting or messing with those files.
