Huh. That’s strange, when I reloaded the page, there was an entirely different set of comments. Anyone know why? Lemmy shenanigans?
squints
That says , “PHILLIPS DVD+R”
So we’re looking at a 4.7GB model, or just a hair under the tiniest, most incredibly optimized implementation of <INSERT_MODEL_NAME_HERE>
I distinctly remember the first few members of the page where Satoshi posted his whitepaper, the original .PDF outlining Bitcoin in the famous September 2008 thread on SA (SomethingAwful).
Craig or Christopher Wright was one of the usernames, and he claimed to be an Australian Investment Banker.
He and Satoshi used different usernames, and went offline at different intervals. That doesn’t mean much but we began to speculate that Wright was Satoshi, just swapping over accounts, because we were all teenagers and speculation was fun (like trying to ascertain the identity of Moot on 4chan).
Obviously none of that ended up being true because Satoshi completely fucked off the Internet in ~2012.
From what I’ve heard on the grapevine, he’s living out on a farm in Oregon with his autistic sister and has completely turned his back on the Internet and financial markets/industrial society as a whole, given what they did to his starry-eyed ideological digital based currency, turning it into yet another instrument of slavery rather than a means to liberation.
But we’ll never know.
I had this unironically happen in a statistics class.
I visited said professor during office hours, and he goes: “How do you think you did?”
I said: “Statistically speaking given a standard distribution, the probability of me scoring any higher or lower than the mean is unlikely, so I guess give me a C for the course”
He stops and looks and then looks back at the computer: “Because you understand that, I’m giving you an A.”
Winter for six months? Fuck it, I’m there :)
I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?
How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.
You were right
I’m loving this thread
Sorry. Most of that shit has been my fault, and people like me.
In recent times, there’s been a push to reclassify certain disabilities from … disabilities, into “neurodivergence.” in an attempt to destigmatize certain disorders, and cast them in a new light as part of human evolution.
The idea that life is a min-maxing situation comes from the “just world fallacy”, the fallacious belief that all good and evils “must balance out”. Someone born with some profound disability might have no overarching heartwarming lesson for society to learn, and life might just be about abject cruelty.
I don’t know if the community appreciates or hates that change, but, I’ve seen autism go from being called something quite hateful (/r) in the 1990s, to becoming a spectrum, to people working with autistic people and just calling them “different”.
The romanticization might come from movies like Rain Man, and the few high profile savant cases (on ASD), e.g: I recall speculation that Bill Gates and Elon Musk both had Asperger’s Syndrome.
What’s your take on this?
I’m an AI Developer.
TLDR: CUDA.
Getting ROCM to work properly is like herding cats.
You need a custom implementation for the specific operating system, the driver version must be locked and compatible, especially with a Workstation / WRX card, the Pro drivers are especially prone to breaking, you need the specific dependencies to be compiled for your variant of HIPBlas, or zLUDA, if that doesn’t work, you need ONNX transition graphs, but then find out PyTorch doesn’t support ONNX unless it’s 1.2.0 which breaks another dependency of X-Transformers, which then breaks because the version of HIPBlas is incompatible with that older version of Python and …
Inhales
And THEN MAYBE it’ll work at 85% of the speed of CUDA. If it doesn’t crash first due to an arbitrary error such as CUDA_UNIMPEMENTED_FUNCTION_HALF
You get the picture. On Nvidia, it’s click, open, CUDA working? Yes?, done. You don’t spend 120 hours fucking around and recompiling for your specific usecase.
Never ask what the hot dog is made of :>
I know you’re going to be downvoted, but you really underestimate how good hot dogs are at a barbecue.
Serving people salads at a grill outing is a way to lose friends, giving them vegan hot dogs without telling them is a way for them to consider eating less meat. C:

I was another person who suffered from motion sickness trying to play the original Super Mario 64.
I wish I could tell you what it was - I have played everything under the sun, including VR (in which I was also motion sick), and the closest thing I could come up with is the low FOV combined with the automatic movement of the camera.
I think it’s similar for people who get car sick as a passenger, but not a driver.
Sure, I’ll try OpenSUSE!
Tumbleweed is a bit of a spooky name for a distro implying that a gentle breeze sends it, but y’know
Linux Mint as someone suggested, I’ve ran a long time ago for college on an ancient laptop, and it’s an extreme stable OS, similar to Windows 2000 Pro. I can’t remember it crashing or freezing even once on me, and the Thinkpad T42 has an anemic processor., which I ran with the Conservative Governor
I’m actually a little scared of running Linux on modern, fast hardware.
How is multi-GPU driver support?
My main machine is a 900 TFlops compute monster (4 GPUs) running ROCM on Windows, and the last time I’d tried Manjaro on Desktop, it seized up for unknown reasons.
I’ve got asynchronous monitors - 1440p@165Hz main display and 4K@85Hz flipped vertical for a side monitor. Occasionally, I plug in a projector which is 1080p, mirrored to the 4K, but flipped horizontal.
I’m not sure what I’d done wrong because it works perfectly on my 11 year old Z575 (Debian+KDE there).
What distro would you recommend for an extremely fast/high RAM machine? I’ve got 128GB of main system memory, and 4TB of M.2 for a system disk running at 7.6 gigabytes/second actual/real-world RW I/O.
The rich have problems paying just their regular owed taxes, nothing even exceptional; they draft legislation to lower their own tax rates while keeping taxes on labor the same.
Why is capital gains taxed at a lower rate than income? Is sitting on a pile of money and watching it grow somehow more noble than sweating and hard work?
I think a carbon tax is necessary but I think getting the responsible parties in our industrial world to actually pay it, would be extremely difficult. You’d never see such bipartisan cooperation in various governments until someone threatens the subsidies for the liquid black gold.
Hahahah, what a load of horseshit.
I had asthma as a child, and let me tell you, you can’t do anything with asthma. It’s like being allergic to the atmosphere – basic exercise can trigger an attack and leave you useless and wheezing. Your cardiovascular capacity is shot.
Reading that these Olympians got gold medals while simultaneously having asthma is like hearing the champions at the shooting tournament were all blackout drunk.
Albuterol and other bronchodilators absolutely do increase your VO²Max if abused or taken by a non-athsmatic. Not in the lower ranges of respiratory function but in the 80-100% of VO²Max where elite athletes operate.
I don’t dispute the doctor’s claims that there are some cold weather sports with dry air that can mimick the symptoms of asthma, but an asthmatic Olympian/athlete beating someone without asthma (a debilitating respiratory illness) and taking the gold?
I’m calling bullshit. They outsmarted the anti-doping regulations, clean and simple. Wheeze into this box and you can raise your VO²Max during the competition. Anything for a win.
