So, is this virtual VRAM stored on the other memory chip we don’t have supply for?

you’re missing context, he’s talking about nixon and how “objective journalism” doesn’t mention anything about the us war crimes.

You just proved his point and don’t even realize it.

“So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here—not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

Right, that’s why I listen to certain YouTubers. Easy to figure out their reputation and mindset.

HST was right all along. Fortunately, new media’s more gonzo attitude has largely replaced old media’s neutrality (to the point of absurdity). The challenge, which hasn’t really changed, is cultivating trusted sources, and constantly checking to make sure they haven’t been compromised.

About as unrealistic as Elon Musk building a Mars base.

Yeah, even before it was released there were so many kids are still messing around with Garry’s Mod. New generations of kids playing with 20-year-old software.

Too little, too late. The billion dollar lawsuit was already handed down. The Top 0.001% authors got the last major payday they will ever get. The message to AI corpos is pretty clear: Buy the physical media, consume into AI, burn it down just to spite them!

Is it evil? Yeah, sure. But, people who understand how power works understand that this was going to be the inevitable result after that lawsuit.

Or they could have pirated them. This is what copyright does to people and corporations.

It could be TurboQuant or something like it. The biggest detraction to local LLM models is being able to close the gulf between obscenely-expensive 512GB NPUs, to house the 230GB uncompressed models (+ context), and more common 24GB GPUs. Quantized 15-18GB models are already working pretty well, but context size is still a bit of a problem.

Of course, the whole industry need to ramp up memory production and wrestle duopolies from the few that can make the raw silicon. It was pretty fucking pathetic that parts of the PC industry decided to leave these silicon processing weaknesses in various places. Large corps could have easily jumped into the industry and made bank in the long-term, but that would require not funneling into short-term quarterly profit bullshit.

It does not seem to be better

It does.

except in terms of cost

Except cost. Except open source. Except the entire fucking global economic trillion dollar US AI model.

Those are very big exceptions.

(Also, I’m mostly stealing from Yσɠƚԋσʂ’s post.)

There is no privacy with a free AI agent.

Depends on where the AI is hosted. If you’re running a local LLM, all of that data is stored in-house on your PC.

And the latest Kimi is better than Fable 5. Another plane has indeed hit the Anthropic towers.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s technology forum.

Meanwhile, Steam does nothing, wins anyway.

Balatro was great with Roffle commentating. They randomly hit one of the worst seeds to try to naneinf.

What AAA studios still use their own solutions now, except for Valve and Rockstar?

But, Id Software INVENTED FPS game engines! Valve didn’t even invent Half-Life’s first engine; they borrowed an early prototype of Quake.

Yeah, I know Carmack isn’t on the payroll nowadays, but there’s still some competent people who know how to design 3D engines on their own.

Is this what happened after “Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement”?

Actually, it looks like Lane Roathe chimed in on the top comment.

I don’t think John Carmack is sociopathic. He just thinks differently, and isn’t the most socially-adapt person. He was trying to reason out why the decision was made in the first place:

“Games are competing with every other option for spending your leisure time and money, and the competition is brutal.”

He’s definitely not wrong. I still think Microsoft’s decision was pretty fucking stupid, but disposable entertainment options are at an all-time high, and even with gaming, you can throw a stick up in the air and have it land on a game studio.
