to avoid disappointment: It doesn’t end… it just… stops

unless programming something math intensive like 3d graphics, then basic arithmetic and just a general intuition of numbers is more than enough.

by selling me a license that lets me run their software on my own machine, not theirs. Like in the old times

heard of it, but never used it. Works really well with termux though

This chorded keyboard

on some sites the plugin fails to properly detect which fields correspond to which, true (usually when javascript fuckery is involved). But fixing that by manually pointing out the fields once on such sites is easy enough for me. I also switched firefox to use keepassxc for passkeys, which makes them actually portable and usable for me.

asking such an open ended question doesn’t mean much when nowadays, more and more people consider “anything I don’t agree with” to be hate speech.

Ai chips are bullshit. Having a chip to do your matrix multiplications instead of your gpu means nothing if you don’t have tons of very high bandwidth memory… which is the expensive part

what sucks about keepassxc?

that’s the point. Play something else if that’s not your style. It’s not pointless.

not in the slightest. But the apps are free

a > 30000 vehicle that won’t be available for a decade

matrix multiplications. lots and lots of matrix multiplications. What gpus are good at already

the exact same intended use case, in fact

not really. A lot of techniques have been known for decades. What we didn’t have back then was insane compute power.

and there’s the turing award for computer science.

and physicists use tools from math, so fields medals should be awarded to physicists.

yeah, so that means that it’s not incremental improvement on what we have that we need. That will get us nowhere. We need a (as yet unknown) completely different approach. Which is the opposite of incremental improvement.

because, having coded them myself, I am under no illusions as to their capabilities. They are not magic. “just” some matrix multiplications that generate a probability distribution for the next token, which is then randomly sampled.

the first advice the superintelligent ai would give: “power me down”

incremental improvements on a dead end, still gets you to the dead end.
