Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again
  • Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.

    No wonder Intel is in such rough shape! Gelsinger is an idiot.

    Does he think that the demand for AI-accelerating hardware is just going to go away? That the requirement of fast, dedicated memory attached to a parallel processing/matrix multiplying unit (aka a discreet GPU) is just going to disappear in the next five years‽

    The board needs to fire his ass ASAP and replace him with someone who has a grip on reality. Or at least someone who has a some imagination of how the future could be.

    Tucker Carlson claims he was mauled by a demon while asleep, leaving claw marks
  • Yeah seriously! Why does it have to be a Christian supernatural force? It could just be Baba Yaga "reaching out" as it were, to a kindred spirit.

    Why couldn't it be the fae trying to pull him into their world? Or perhaps an evil yokai finally tracked him down?

    Maybe his original soul escaped the mirror dimension and was trying to claw its way back into his body!

    Why do Republicans bring up Kamala's "lies"/shortcomings as a way to claim Trump is better?
  • Surely they can't all be this dumb.

    After a few decades following American politics you'll realize that yes, yes they can all be that dumb.

    Just have a general conversation with your most conservative neighbors about basically anything and you'll quickly learn that there's nothing they don't have an opinion on and their level of ignorance is... Impressive.

    A million Floridians would be kicked out under Trump’s mass deportation plans, report says
  • Here's the thing: That's exactly what Trump supporters want. That's the "pain" Musk talked about.

    They don't care about the cost. Money or human.

    I asked a Trump supporter how they wanted to handle American citizen children of illegal immigrants and they said they wanted the children taken away and placed into Christian indoctrination programs (they didn't call it that but that's what they meant).

    Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’
  • As another (local) AI enthusiast I think the point where AI goes from "great" to "just hype" is when it's expected to generate the correct response, image, etc on the first try.

    For example, telling an AI to generate a dozen images from a prompt then picking a good one or re-working the prompt a few times to get what you want. That works fantastically well 90% of the time (assuming you're generating something it has been trained on).

    Expecting AI to respond with the correct answer when given a query > 50% of the time or expecting it not to get it dangerously wrong? Hype. 100% hype.

    It'll be a number of years before AI is trustworthy enough not to hallucinate bullshit or generate the exact image you want on the first try.

    Missouri Republican says he is investigating Google for ‘censoring conservative speech’
  • Well yes: At this juncture in history conservative speech is hate speech, misinformation (and disinformation), and things like AI-generated images of politicians in situations that never happened.

    Actual conservative speech like bitching about the national debt or setting themselves up to get flamed with references to A Modest Proposal aren't getting censored at all.

    It's really hard to get SD to output something like a cat girl hugging a fox girl so I decided to learn how to use the "segment anything" extension for a1111. The first results were great!

    !Fox girl hugging bunny girl being hugged by cat girl

    Got the trifecta: A fox girl hugging a bunny girl who was also being hugged by a cat girl.

    But now I wanted to take it further: Can I get five different anime beast people's hugging? No, LOL. Now yet anyway 🤣

    That's supposed to be a a fox girl, a bunny girl, a cat girl, a frog girl, and a horse girl (like Pretty Derby).

    Manufacturer wanted $25 (+shipping) for a replacement garage door opener wall switch. 13 minutes of printing + 5 minutes of soldering + two leftover Cherry MX Blue switches (that I'll be use) and the problem is solved 👍

    Note: The wiring was slightly more involved than I thought... needed a resistor for the light (there's only two wires but it's got two functions: Light on/off and garage open/close.

    If folks are interested I could make a much fancier PCB-based version with screw terminals and whatnot. It's a very trivial schematic.
