This is why punctuation is always important. Also, Oxford Comma or GTFO :)

This enrages me every time I see it. It's even worse with old broadcast TV, Especially daily serials/soaps. Shit is probably gone forever because the tapes were immediately wiped and reused. >:( I know a lot of it stemmed from

It's disgusting. These garbage humans thrive because other people are living vicariously through their awfulness.

It wouldn’t really. I only used that because the parent poster was making it sound like total power draws with the cores all pegged out. And if they are actually doing work and not just running full bore through a whole lot of NOPs then tha

I honestly believe a huge chunk of people /wish/ they could be like those sacks of crap. But for whatever reason something is “holding them back” from their peak assholeness.

Not to mention the fact that "pushing up to 700W underload" is.. absolutely nothing since that means, ignoring everything else and just assuming CPU drawing that, the cores are only using 7w PER CORE. And this AMD system is using

Right? That is why I want to know more details instead of this vague garbage.

While I don't doubt the AMD server with less than half the core count draws a lot less power, I would /like/ to know more details. Like what model/SKU servers? What are the actual model chips? How are they configured? bl

Still blows my mind that there are /still/ Musk fanbois. He is your stereotypical billionaire narcissist man-child. I guess there are a lot of dudes who really wish they could act that way and not get bitch slapped for it. Ok, I g

The charging other EVs cracks me up. I’m still no where near being able to have a 100% EV only existence but something like that would be really nice as a secondary. dreams Thanks for the response.

Wow. Sorry for all the typos. I was juggling two kids when I typed that and apparently I am blind to autocorrect and autocomplete fails when my attention is so divided :)

Wait wait wait. You expected Tesla to have pre-emptively done something to avoid negative PR? When have they ever done that?

I love when people point to metrics on barely used "used" cars. The average for used car is no where fucking enar $29k. That is complete and utter batshit lunacy unless your idea of "used" is "5 yers old or newer&qu

How are you liking it? I got to look at one recently and really really liked it. Lot more than I expected. Unfortunately I need to make about 3x what I currently do to ever be able to justify buying something like it for my use cases lol.

As annoying as ADHD /can/ be. I am glad I have it. I do take meds to help “control it” but I also happily forgo them when I don’t need to crunch time focus on something. There’s a lot of pros to it and most of the negatives that p

So.. these random mastodon servers are islands and if they shut down you have to migrate your shit? Tbh I’ve barely paid any attention to mastodon but crap like this just makes me have less interest in it. Yay decentralization! …

Watching misinformation through misunderstanding and misconception start and then propagate through the internet in real time is both fascinating and terrifying.

Just a side note: I have two carts and one of them rarely follows where I am pointing. The other one aways does. And he seems to recognize a good 100 words. You’ll get massively varying levels of “intelligence” from most anything it seems

It’s hard to watch it happen over and over again. I think it’s because they /want/ something to be a certain way regardless of reality. There is no realm in which a LLMs have spontaneously gained theory of mind. I don’t understand

And? If you are in the Apple ecosystem, get an iPhone. If you are pleased with Android and not in Apple's ecosystem, then get something like the Samsung. Who the hell cares about this crap?

I think because people want to natural language ask questions to a virtual butler (Jeeves) and get an answer back in digestible natural language form. I… don’t really get it either. But I’m also a cranky person who can’t stand every damn th

People who respond like you have are either being willfully obtuse about how awful search has gotten or honestly do not remember how it was 5-10 years ago. As others have mentioned, SEO has all but made search useless for anything outside a

The die-off of 32bit really is the biggest obstacle to this sort of hobby. There is *plenty of 15-20 year old hardware that is more than fast enough for daily use that is 32bit only, though. However, x86_64/AMD64 came out in 2003. so t
