    Whenever they say X whatever times, I doubt it right away, because they always interpret the statistics in the dumbest ways possible. You have a solar panel that is 28% efficient. There is no way it can be 20x times as efficient, that’s just clickbait.

Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.

      China and Russia worked very hard to get these rich stupid people in power.

      It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.

      Surprisingly, the “liberal tears compilations” and “something about an email server people didn’t understand wasn’t actually illegal” actually worked and drowned out the warnings from our security agencies.

      I don’t think China will be any better of a world leader tbh.

      I see humanity’s future as a boot stepping on a human face forever, unless humanity globally rejects kings, oligarchs, and dictators.

        Don’t forget the genius DNC folk, including HRC thought a pied piper strategy of boosting the circus peanut was a good idea.

        If the Russians and Chinese did anything it was just capitalizing on an unforced error by the hubris of the centrist. One again, bernie would have won, but that was more distasteful to the ruling class than fascism.

          Oddly, the DNC’s position on the republican candidate in the circus that was the 2016 primary wasn’t likely all that influential or determinative.

          trump figured out that running a political campaign as entertainment and leveraging the power of, well, just lying about everything was possible in the modern media environment. republicans had been working for decades on tilling the ground for an authoritarian that they could manage, but got themselves owned instead. Oops.

              About “crying” over foreign interference, you are wrong. In the last 4 years France, Canada, Germany, Romania, Sri-Lanka, Australia, all of the Baltic nations andore have a had credible complaints of attempts from foreign nations trying to use propaganda and more to influence elections.

        I talked to like 50 people today and all of the people said they were starting manufacturing plants tomorrow and they’ll be fully functional Tuesday around 3:15.

        I started mine earlier and I’ve already done manufacturing 3 times today. It’s really easy. By this time tomorrow I’ll have a couple more and they’ll all be winning manufacturing.

        Tariffs gave me the ability to finally believe in myself. Tariffs have increased my stamina in bed, given me a full head of hair again, and since I started manufacturing plant yesterday I’ve dropped 50 pounds.

      Probably because is an ethnicity and nationality. There are ethnic Chinese people all over the world and a few countries and regions are made of a majority of ethnic Chinese but are not related to China. Calling them the same thing is playing into the PRC’s “all ethnic Chinese pledge their allegiance to China” nonsense.

      I think it’s a slightly different connotation. “China scientists” infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while “Chinese scientists” implies their ethnicity but not their location.

        Yeah, when you’re a technology enthusiast, it’s easy to forget that your average user doesn’t have a home server - perhaps they just have a NAS or two.

        (Kidding aside, I wish more people had NAS boxes. It’s pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives. In a good day. I do have a USB floppy drive and a DVD drive just in case.)

          It’s pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives.

          Equally disheartening is knowing that both of those have a shelf-life. Old USB flash drives are more durable than the TLC/QLC cells we use today, but 15 years sitting unpowered in a box doesn’t have very good prospects.

      You can get a Coral TPU for 40 bucks or so.

      You can get an AMD APU with a NN-inference-optimized tile for under 200.

                  I mean the image generators can be cool and LLMs are great for bouncing ideas off them at 4 AM when everyone else is sleeping. But I can’t imagine paying for AI, don’t want it integrated into most products, or put a lot of effort into hosting a low parameter model that performs way worse than ChatGPT without a paid plan. So you’re exactly right, it’s not being sold to me in a way that I would want to pay for it, or invest in hardware resources to host better models.

    Brother, have you heard of buses? Even INSIDE cpus/socs bus speeds are a limitation. Also i fucking hate how the first thing people mention now is how ai could benefit from a jump in computing power.

    Edit: I havent dabbled that much in high speed stuff yet but isnt the picosecond range so fast that the capacitance of simple traces and connectors between chips influence the rising and falling edge of chips?

      That’s pretty much my understanding. Most of the advancements happened in memory speeds are related to the physical proximity of the memory and more efficient transmission/decoding.

      GDDR7 chips for example are packed as close as physically possible to the GPU die, and have insane read speeds of 28 Gbps/pin (and a 5090 has a 512-bit bus). Most of the limitation is the connection between GPU and RAM, so speeding up the chips internally 1000x won’t have a noticeable impact without also improving the memory bus.
