Ok! Time to relax. Sashi is a shitposter.
Time to relax. Sashi is a shitposter.
Wait, we are taking a microblog shitposting community's content seriously?
Some of the content is:
{ Reply pointing out the absurdity of the OP { OP saying something unhinged } }
So sometimes, a post made in seriousness is part of the joke.
And, given the context of this one, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to believe someone would just repost a line-go-up graph without actually reading it.
Can’t wait for Elon to force grok to release 2099
Finally, an LLM benchmark that can’t be faked
Chrome bumped its versioning numbers to overtake Firefox back in the day, that's how we ended up with stupid version numbers like 124.1.2 instead of meaningful versions.
Amateurs. I just pushed my 20261001 update yesterday.
Followed by the hotfixes 20261001.1700, 20261001.1720, 20261001.1755, 20261001.1805, 20261002.0940 and 20261002.1010
Same with Apple skipping iPhone 9 and ditching the S model name for spec bump releases so they have a higher number than the Samsung Galaxy S models and then Samsung went straight from S10 to S20 as a response.
I still hate how NVIDIA decided to go from the 980, to the 1080, to the 2080. I can't keep up anymore!
My next graphics card will be an AMD.
Worse was the release of the GTX 1660/1650.
980 to 1080 is a logical step, as - in simple terms- 9 was the generation and 80 the class/performance inside the generation. I somewhat get the step from 10xx to 20xx instead of 11xx for aesthetic reasons. But having a 16xx and 20xx?!
That's how you got stupid Xbox names as well.
Yeah, there's this old meme:
A typical programmer, out by one error, he counts to eleven these days
In fairness, 95 → 98 → ME was a separate branch, NT was 4, 2000 was 5, XP 5.1, Vista was protractedly 6, and they only missed 9 because seven ate nine
Really the one thing Sony has, and continues, to do right.
It's not really stupid. Even Linux versioning doesn't mean anything. Linux 6.0 isn't a bigger change than Linux 5.19. It actually feels more like a corporate thing that it is easier for them to have a consistent versioning increase and consistent release schedule. Major changes don't need to be tied to a major change in number because, how do you decide what a major and minor change is? Do you need to group up changes and make the user wait so it becomes a new major version? Google also experienced fragmentation with Android in the past and likely wanted to avoid it. Because if you tie up specific stuff to specific browser versions, some people would want to keep a specific major browser version causing fragmentation. You can just dictate a specific end date of a feature support rather than a browser number to avoid fragmentation.
linus has specifically said that he increments the major number when he runs out of fingers and toes for the minor one
Didn't used to be that way though. Of course software was less mature then. They where on version 2 I think forevwe.
They were on 2.6 between 2003 and 2011, ending on version 2.6.39.4.
If you want to include all of version 2, you are going back to 1996.
CHATBOT 2000 is off the charts
We need a community for statistical jokes like this.
Reddit had 'data is beautiful' but this feels more like 'data is rubbish'
reddit also had a data is ugly community, perhaps there may be some in here too
Yup. That's what we need.
Wow, first time I've seen a completely useless graph
ill never get over how stupid windows naming convention is.
It misses ME and NT
Vista and XP
As well as /286 and /386
Really? You’re lucky.
Their lucky what?
Theyre lucky day
Thanks autocorrect must have decided that ‘youre lucky’ is the start of a Madonna lyric 😂
'You must be my lucky star" is
you just lack the super intelligence needed to fully understand it.
Grok 86.47 for the win!
Quickly followed by grok 88.14,last major version ever, all following versions being just 88.14.x.
33.6
I’m pretty sure this was Microsoft’s versioning logic for the 90s and 2000s.

7 Minute Abs!
From the Line Goes Up school of thought.
This is a perfect example of the intelligence of those who use AI. They have become so used to not having to think or work before reacting.
Sounds reliable. There's a name for claims like that https://github.com/ajnart/trustmebrobenchmarks.com
