At some point some kids learned they could get food and shelter by peddling the dumb shit their dad made up when they were kids.

"Daddy, where is uncle Larry after he touched little Susie?"

He's burning in hell sweetie.

"... Are we having bacon tonight daddy?"

No sweetie. That's uncle Larry in hell.

I see your nuance better now. I'm saying that diversity is not a qualifier for total artistic value. I believe it is okay to tell flawed stories as art. I do not believe that all stories should be flawed, they should be an exception not the rule.

This is where we are likely strongly aligned versus any potential for difference. I believe telling better stories is the failure of the entertainment industry. There are plenty of better stories to tell. The real prejudice is happening by the cowardice of choosing misogynistic stories to tell. Really, there is not enough value placed on the big picture abstract overview. People are playing with the trees when they should be managing the forest. Old familiar stories with foundations built in an era of a lack of diversity are ripe to abandon for a new era of better stories.

There are a half dozen or so people that cause 90% of all negative behavior according to an admin on another instance. LW does not seem to take responsibility and act to stop these 0.0001% of bad users.

Mods can't see jack ****. Only admin see that info.

Unfortunately LW doesn't take updating the Lemmy version seriously either. The server version is WAY behind and the very next version of Lemmy adds the ability to turn off all negative votes at the user level. That single feature would likely improve the mental health of most LW users substantially.

Dunno but I think LemmyNSFW.com drops dups from the instance maybe even the broader. I doubt any combine comments but maybe a front end wizard has done it

If men in a story are doing all the interesting stuff, the story is the bad choice. Adding oil paints to an existing watercolor does not make art. Paint a beautiful oil painting.

I hate when a story is forced into any agenda. Like making Daneel a woman in Foundation is atrocious because it has other implications across all of Asimov's stories like with Gladia and Jander, the relationship with Elijah and family dynamic, how Solarians perceive Daneel, and the nuance and contrast between Daneel and Dors just to name a few off the top of my head.

These are stupid people making last minute frivolous and agenda based pandering nonsense decisions. It is disingenuously stealing from the richness of the story these films are supposedly depicting. If they can't tell the story they claim, they should be creating an independent work that stands entirely on its own instead of butchering the original art that should be told with full scope in the long term.

If you want to tell a female lead story, awesome. Pick a good one to start with. God Emperor of Dune is all about super strong women in roles. I mean there is an army of all women that outright rape men in battle. There are all levels of women present in that story. Chapterhouse Dune is another all about female leading roles. Tell the story around Susan Calvin in Asimov's stories. There are tons of these types of stories. Hacking and butchering a universe or fitting a female lead in by committee agenda is absolutely garbage. Like Star Wars is a story about inevitable authoritarianism and exceptionalism where no one else is relevant. Trying to make that into some diversity flick is absurd. It is ultimately the wrong story from the start. I loved it growing up, but it is what it is and nostalgia is often blind. The story has an underlying ethos that is the foundation of the universe. It is flawed. So what, it can still be entertaining. When that ethos is in conflict, the story stops having any relevant value. Build a new story on a better foundation. Reshaping old stories shows that the entire premise is overly conservative bankers that treat art as investment. Bankers are shitty artists. They are incapable of being bold and trying new and novel things. There is no art in such endeavors. I have no problem with female leads. I take issue with terrible art by committee and bankers.

The amount of info I was able to put into this one image is borderline art IMO.That is a 3 layer circuit board. If you looked at the full repo you would find how this evolved from low quality phone images into something more with time. I had the whole thing mapped out for connections based on continuity between vias but then was given some xrays and managed to map out every internal connection even though the xrays were not of a fully stripped and blank PCB. I even managed to figure out the way the central layer's ground plane is routed between the various traces. I made and added the Inkscape vector of the microcontroller with all the pins mapped, every part number for components and it all goes with my unique style of naming and layout in KiCAD schematics. I strongly believe that every connection on a schematic should be fully descriptive without requiring cross referencing. The colors, varied transparency, and subtle ways that I added more and more information the deeper you zoom in is art and the kind of thing that could be implemented directly in something like KiCAD. I did all of the tracing in GIMP layers.

Probably not exactly what you were asking, but I still find it artful 5 years later which is not something I normally say for things I have worked on. It came together in a totally unintended way after I was only looking for the easiest way to add the USB port of the chip to the built in connector which turned out impractical.

Need max AVX instructions. Anything with P/E cores is junk. Only enterprise P cores have the max AVX instructions. When P/E are mixed the advanced AVX is disabled in microcode because the CPU scheduler is unable to determine if a process thread contains an AVX instruction and there is no asymmetrical scheduler that handles this. Prior to early 12k series Intel, the microcode for P enterprise could allegedly run if swapped manually. This was "fused off" to prevent it, probably because Linux could easily be adapted to asymmetrical scheduling but Windows would probably not. The whole reason W11 had to be made was because of the E-cores and the way the scheduler and spin up of idol cores works, at least according to someone on Linux Plumbers for the CPU scheduler ~2020. There are already asymmetric schedulers in Android ARM.

Anyways I think it was on Gamer's Nexus in the last week or two that Intel was doing some all P core consumer stuff. I'd look at that. According to chips and cheese, the primary CPU bottleneck for tensors is the bus width and clock management of the L2 to L1 cache.

I do alright with my laptop, but haven't tried R1 stuff yet. The 70B llama2 stuff that I ran was untenable for CPU only with a 12700 with just CPU. It is a little slower than my reading pace when split with a 16 GB GPU, and that was running a 4 bit quantization version.

It has no value to me. Deciding the line in the sand is just as much of a power play as the onerous establishment. Calling the US Democrats Left is disingenuous. They are on the right by a considerable margin. The USA has no Left. So this is only pressing the establishment and validating it.

There seems to be a similar general demographic of late 30's to early 40's users here... (could easily be my confirmation bias saying that). I was around for Napster, GeoCities, MySpace, Yahoo, Mama, AoL, AiM, and if you are ~40yo, you likely were in this same wave of broad scale adoption of the internet by average Joe jr public in the latest 90's and early naughties. We are the first group where digital life is the rule, not the exception(s) and early adopters; the first gen of internet grandparents... How does that legacy play out. /r

 

I've messed with this dozens of times with various AI models that are generally good at abstractions with advanced prompting, custom diffusion settings outside of the typical, and some hacks in the model loader code. I seem to lack the vocabulary to describe the fundamental geometry of centrifugal gravity in the kind of depth required. Like how does one say that the road ahead curves up like a hill continuing overhead with the buildings anchored to...

I need language here that has unambiguous specificity and likely does not occur in any other context. Layperson verbosity will fail to get traction without fine tuning the model first. I prefer to explore what models can really do using settings and the prompts only.

Most of my vocabulary and understanding of geometry is limited to the Cartesian planes and CAD assemblies. Perhaps someone here has a better lexicon and doesn't mind sharing.

This is not a question of about parroted nonsense and cultural norms. I mean what end product do they produce that justifies their existence in the first place.

I'm physically disabled and have been living in a prison like situation for nearly 11 years. How does my situation balance into the ethics of prisons? I'm on a path to homelessness and a premature death due to institutionalized neglect and abuse from US institutions. Criminals are housed and fed in exchange for similar isolation, abuse, danger, insurmountable debt, and a largely unemployable and destitute future. These seem to conflict in ethics.

 

Already did my usual 16 mile physical therapy routine, so I did it again. Haven't gone over 26 miles in ~3 years. Me and the cats, dead in a bed rn, 2 brain cells between the three of us

 

Like all buildings should have some kind of standard for solar panel placement added or retrofitted with a very low cost modular mounted frame. Then, when you get an appliance it has a built in battery and comes paired with the right size panels that are sized for each region in the local store/wholesale distribution layer.

The whole scheme is hybrid in the first phase of a decade or so while edge cases and issues come up, like how to handle high rise buildings. Then the burden of grid infrastructure is less of a burden on the poor in total because few people are going to replace all appliances in this instance unlike those that can install a whole house solar system. The entire thing would be more incremental and serviceable over time with modularity. It is less efficient overall compared to a single controller and battery but doesn't require large upfront cost or repurchase later down the line.

 

I get the stupid basic excuse about big tech purchasing loads of silicon. That reasoning seems deeply flawed and idiotic to me. If Deepseek R1 democratizes training more for less, then that means customers with mid to small size data centers like universities now have access to train and research models in this space. Nvidia does not have a real competitor, so they get the sale. Their potential customer base just grew exponentially right? OpenAI should be devalued massively by this change, but I don't see why anything impacts Nvidia negatively in this instance. Am I missing something or is the market this level of stupid? (I have no skin in this game)

 

I'm especially interested in the disabled or people that have to rely on others for support, government or otherwise. Tell me your story if you are up for it. I don't care how old this post is, tell me anyways.

Figured I would just ask for the abstract basics. Just consider me an amateur noob. I was digging into ComfyUI code to look into integrating or rewriting a script of mine into a custom node for the first time. The source for custom nodes sourced through the ComfyUI node manager have some kind of Yarn package or system. I have no idea what that is or what it is used for and figured it might make a light conversation.

 

You are only a product of your environment. The bottom of that environment is a pit, and there is no ladder back up onto the walls. Maybe a few shots towards the top gets someone to lower the ladder.

 

This is an upload by DJ Ware explaining the Landauer Limit and implications for silicon tech. Don Ware is a former Bell Labs engineer that posts about computing at an advanced level.

Here is the more ambiguous Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer's_principle

This is why the future of all technology is likely biological, and we live in the Stone Age of Silicon presently... or at least this supports my hard sci-fi universe narrative. I did not know how close the end of silicon may be. I highly recommend watching this upload. I've been pondering this one for days.

 

Edit: Anonymous negative people suck and make me ready to leave Lemmy. Video has merit but people are too stupid to watch it and react instead showing the level of intellect in the room.
