I think its largely the chip manufacturers, but ARM is still making money on licensing fees for Nvidia’s new ai chip (with an integrated 72 core arm cpu) for example

ARM is in the perfect place where, if a company using their architecture succeeds, they get tons of money, and if the company fails, they lose nothing.

Apple has published papers on small LLM models and multimodal models already. I would be surprised if they aren’t using them for on-device processing.

Are a wiki and a discord mutually exclusive? They seem to fill very different roles.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say really that his channel has gotten objectively worse, just that he has realized that 90% of people who watch his channel are children and he has aimed his channel towards them - I just have to accept that I am no longer the target audience.

It’s hard to tell if the youtubers are getting more annoying or if its my tastes that are changing. Probably both tbh

I would say the distinction is that lemmy doesn’t have a personalized algorithm.

IDK, blender.org got DDoS-ed for a while too. It seems like it would take a lot of resources for no possible benefit to anyone involved.

I mean you could say the same thing about the whole entertainment industry, or the whole tech industry, or basically anything else that isn’t directly necessary for human survival.

All of them seem way more important than sending more junk into orbit.

Do you know what actually goes into orbit? Mostly 4 categories: communication satellites (both commercial and governmental), scientific monitoring, ISS support, and military satellites. Every satellite we send into space has a purpose. Without satellites, we don’t get: widespread aerial imagery, accurate weather forecasting, GPS, widespread ecological data, etc.

Important to point out that a lot of NASA’s problems are probably caused by Congress: their attempts to “save money” by re-using designs, the risk of NASA losing funding if any rocket they make fails, their insistence on having NASA support government military contractors, etc

This is a lot of what is preventing them from taking the rapid prototyping and iterative approach of SpaceX.

You could say the same thing about literally any industry and it would be just as true

If they didn’t think they had a chance of exploding, they wouldn’t be testing them

Yeah, I think games just take longer to develop nowadays than anyone is prepared for, especially the managers. Both companies and gamers have yet to realize that there is only so much you can accomplish in a certain span of time.

the Vienna metro (u bahn) is neat because it has a very wide range of architectural styles

Sebastian lague and acerola are some other programming channels I like

BPS.space, RCtestflight, Project Air, and Wintergatan do some sciencey engineering stuff

There are also a ton of great CS YouTubers including Sebastian Lague, Acerola, AngeTheGreat, b2studios and Pezzza’s work

Some of the more rigorous scientific channels include Nighthawkinlight, CNC kitchen, RCtestflight, Wintergatan, and Major Hardware

Some of the models I’ve tried have been convinced they are ChatGPT, even if I tell them otherwise.

AI is going to significantly affect the amount of people who are able to (or, in a better world, would have to) work.

It’s past midnight and I have an assignment I need to finish today… but I really need to research the latest real-time physics engines.

I never even use emojis. I’m just saying that ambiguity isn’t an emoji-specific problem.

This should not be a surprise to anyone
