… but of course the motivators for the likes of Anthropic are to simply have fewer Watts-per-token in order to make profit. That might lead to enough technological progress to shrink an RTX6000 down to a device that costs under £1k and uses less than 50W so we can have one in our PCs and laptops.
I also hope in 10-15 years everyone is able to look back at this period and be ashamed/shocked at the wasteful and obvious mistakes being made.
… environmental impacts and my hope is that with time the supply begins to catch up with demand to the point where multi gigawatt data centres do not have to proliferate in order to service user demand for creating questionable social media content or fake products for scams.
My real hope is that AI infra follows the route that took building sized computers and shrank them down to wristwatches with more compute than the Apollo mission that took us to the moon. In my mind it is inevitable…
I’m not into AI. I’ve played with one local model a bit. I’ve been given unlimited use of Claude at work (I don’t really use it other than for a “morning brief”). Gemini occasionally gives me a sensible answer.
The time to be anti-AI is over. The circumstances where AI is an undeniable benefit are crystallising in professional workflows and it’s touching more on personal, day-to-day stuff mainly by dint of Gemini butting in when you search Google.
We can still rightly protest the horrific…
Is it that or is it just standard de-risking practise undertaken by banks as part of standard operating procedure?
Ended up buying Black Myth Wukong instead of jumping through questionable hoops to get the FitGirl repack to work.
I have discovered that I am not good at and do not enjoy Souls-like games.
On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is “actually set fire to our house with us in it”, our one neighbour is a 6 for no other reason than they are deaf and … wait for the full story before judging… and they really, really like to remove every last leaf from their front garden on a daily basis.
They have no idea how loud their leaf blower is. None at all.
The CPU in my PC has the same amount of L1 cache as my first Commodore Amiga computer had RAM in total
64GB RAM system. 30GB+ free. 8 cores, 16 threads and it's installing to a 4TB NVMe SSD.
You would think it would be ... quicker.
I would go to bed, but I'm halfway through installing a FitGirl repack of Black Myth Wukong.
Partially this is why I finally decided to look at where half my RAM usage was going.
I'd love to know what they use to pack these repacks that they take so gosh darn long to unpack.
1 hour estimate remaining.
If you're trying to track down where your Windows RAM usage really is: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/rammap
Hyper-V usage was listed as "Driver Locked" by that tool
Been idly wondering for months why Windows shows 50GB+ RAM in use on my 64GB system on fresh boot
Haven't really paid attention because everything is working perfectly fine
Decided to have a look
Yeah. I've had some Hyper-V VM running, taking 32GB+. No idea what it was. Vaguely remember installing Ubuntu via WSL, but I didn't know it was auto loading on boot.
Just goes to show how powerful modern systems are, I suppose.
Just made and ate some of the nicest chips (en-us: fries).
potatoes cut into 1/2" thick cuboids
into heavily salted simmering water. Heat turned up to full until back up to simmering. Add 1tsp curry powder
simmer 5 minutes
decant onto preheated (210C) oiled oven trays. Slop around until evenly coated in oil. Salt them
Bake 10 mins. Take out, muss them up to recoat them in oil
Bake 15 mins at 215-220C
Done.
You're welcome
