It seems to me like this approach to custom-built ML hardware which can only be leased as a service, not bought outright (such as this or Google's TPUs), is not very promising for research. Sure, this might be a cost-effective way for companies to deploy LLMs and maybe AWS can squeeze out a few interesting papers but since nobody else can do this without paying Amazon obscene amounts of money I don't see this leading to the next great innovation in the field. It's at least interesting that Google's TPUs barely had an impact, I'm curious to see if this will also be true for Amazon.

Yes, but it's only consistent to reject that false framing and clearly delineate between supporters and opponents of Israel. Everything else just serves Israel by mudding the water.

I happened upon two of these in much the same way, one of them unfortunately doesn't work but the other one has been my home office keyboard (too loud for the office) for many years. I've always wanted to fix the broken one by swapping in a modern controller, maybe even make it wireless (because that would be truly absurd).

Thank you for reposting! Sounds like a real piece of shit, this guy.

It's not about copyright, that's a burgeois invention. It's about attribution and alienation, with AI the act of working (creating the images that feed the neural network) is completely decoupled from the product (whatever the giant heap of linear algebra cobbles together). That's the issue, not some capitalist's loss of rent-seeking opportunities.

Well, it's intended for nukes. 1 every 5 minutes ought to do the job.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

great tech

That's not what the glassdoor.com reviews say, at least last time I checked a bunch of employees complained about a horrendously out-of-date PHP stack.

Thank you for the well thought out reply! I understand now that its not the way Lemmy devs envision this particular part of the fediverse to develop. It doesn't completely agree with what I see in the current federation landscape though: Most communities cluster around shared interest, be they language, nsfw vs non-nsfw or ideology. Following that, there is a clustering effect regarding the communities on each instance: If I find an instance with a community I care about I'm pretty likely to be interested in the other communities on there too. My guess is: A popular app will implement this feature and it will become mandatory for everyone else who wants downloads. But I get the "idiomatic" argument and understand why Jerboa devs are unlikely to want this feature.

IIRC, this "accident" is simply because chocolate producers figured out it's cheaper to make the milk slightly taste like vomit (something the Americans apparently didn't mind too much) than cooling it properly. I think nowadays that wouldn't really fly but back then cheaper chocolate was maybe so desirable that consumers didn't mind the weird taste.
