I do have a 64gb m1 MacBook Pro and man that thing screams at doing LLM AI. I use it to serve models locally throughout my house, while it otherwise still works as a fantastic computer (usually using about half the ram for llm usage). I still prefer a 4080 for image generation though.

the real hero is in the comments, 25 years later…

If Concord’s launch was a rocket, it would have bored a hole into the launch pad because the thrusters were backward, and I don’t think anyone would have called it a “launch” in any conventional sense.

So how can it be a comeback if it never even came?

Yeah taken as a guideline and observation that computer speeds/storage/etc continue to improve, I think it’s fair. It may not always be double, but it is still significantly different than other physical processes which have “stagnated” by a similar metric (like top speed on an average vehicle or miles per gallon).

Sure thanks for finding a better link. Here’s a cookie. 🍪

Man I dunno if we’ve ever been here before. Nope.

What, and live with negativity at the heart of every atom?

gosh who would want an uncommon character that obviously most average people aren’t thinking about in their passwords, that sounds like it might even be somewhat secure.

I see. I have some old computers kicking around, I actually just deployed a windows media server, but that could easily be a Linux server and probably should be. That system I could easily boot only Linux so that appeals.

The issue with my main PC is that it has multiple terabytes of windows -related stuff. I get how I could read the old drives but there are terabytes of games that I’d have to reinstall to do that on that computer (compatibility issues aside) it sounds like

I could do that, but how does Linux see/interact with my Windows stuff? Am I double-installing games to run-as-Windows with something like Proton? (like a Linux install and a Windows install on the old drive?)

What did you do with your file system? I haven’t tried to dual boot Linux yet but I think bothering with partitioning and file systems is keeping me from taking the plunge.

(BTW it reminds me of why I didn’t go to law school, I hated filling out the paperwork for even doing the LSAT and realized the whole job is that. Dealing with partitioning and file systems and shit seems miserable and it’s just the start.)

I also understood what you clearly meant but this is a good exercise in not blowing up at a pedant.

Oh yeah sorry I missed all the Russian TV, music, electronics, art and culture everyone enjoys in the west. 😂

“The West” would have to start giving a fuck what goes on in who-gives-a-fuck-istan to have that happen. The warfare is asymmetric because only one side has an open society anyone else is actually interested in. No one in “The West” outside of the CIA ever thinks about Russia when they aren’t putting their dick in the punchbowl.

yeah so if I looked at a log of all that, wouldn’t I have a “extra observer” detector, then?

How is the unobserved state ever known about, then?

could a record like this be used as a presence detector? Like if there was any observer who collapsed the wave function then we’d get the collapsed lines in the log, otherwise it would have indicated no observers? (obviously even what the hell is an ‘observer’ anyway?)

Googles response no one wanted to a product no one asked for. I hope Google buys plots in the graveyard in bulk at this point.

yeah I did this almost 30 years ago and could recite it from scratch, haven’t made a cable since hs

I think you’ve gamed out the next step the right way, what that means is that older subs and their content just get locked away behind the paywall. Eventually all of reddit is on the slack free account.
