To answer your question, it’s because whoever controls these technologies going in to the cyberpunk dystopia will have a lot of power in it. And the ones inventing it aren’t really thinking about whether they’ll have the supporting power to hold on to control of it.
In general, trying to split up frame rendering between multiple GPUs runs into issues with latency because either you need to share data between the GPUs (so some reads/writes go to the remote GPU, which takes longer and then there’s cache coherency issues on top of that) or you need to mirror it (so all data transactions between GPU and CPU need to be doubled, bus bandwidth might need to be shared), and there could still be cross-gpu dependencies that require eating those longer latencies.
100 fps means each frame needs to be rendered in 10ms, so even round trips of 1ms can be costly and risk missing the frame deadline (which results in a stutter). The whole idea of multi-gpu is to get even higher frame rates, so the higher they get pushed, the bigger an impact that latency has.
Though maybe raytracing workloads would work well with it. Something that depends more on massive parallelization than anything else and where each ray is independent. But load balancing still isn’t trivial as it will depend on the scene or even the camera and lighting position and the software complexity might not be justified by how small the market would be.
Yeah, it could be a pain occasionally, though the amount of times I’ve opened it up to look in the past few years is few and the times I actually needed to get in there has been none so far here.
Though there was one toilet at one place I lived that wouldn’t close that seal properly and would just keep running the water since it couldn’t fill the reservoir and it needed to be pushed down every flush. But it was a college age problem that would have been better solved by solving the issue instead of dealing with it for the years we were there.
And on the pros side, less cleaning required, and what you need to clean is a simpler shape. Even better if that bathroom has a drain in the floor and the shower head can reach everywhere, though I doubt that’s the case with those floors.
Meanwhile where I am, if I see a cop on the highway, I just check to make sure I’m going less than 20km/h over the limit. Occasionally I wasn’t but still got ignored.
Maybe there’s a closet for it rather than it just being in the wall?
It’s not just money but also expertise required to build, run, and maintain the fabs, which are each different specialized skills (or more accurately an umbrella of different specialized skills). While these people certainly exist, I don’t think there’s a large pool of them waiting to get hired. And with memory production being so concentrated in Taiwan and South Korea, it will be difficult to poach workers because (as I understand) both cultures are big on loyalty to the nation.
That’s not to say I disagree that anyone else should try to get into the memory fab game (or chip fab in general) as I think the market needs more players, but it’s easier said than done, even if you have a ton of money to throw at the problem. Look at Intel, they struggled on the fab side and already had fabs going as a leading chip producer. Or AMD, who sold their fabs because they were struggling to keep them profitable.
Though I also think that governments would be smart to subsidize (or outright socialize) chip fabs, as depending on others to make these is giving up on a lot of economic power (which can affect military power, so spreading chip production out more could increase world stability).
If ants wouldn’t eventually find my good food stores and just kept to cleaning up the crumbs, we could have a simbiotic relationship instead of me occasionally waging chemical warfare on them.
This is why I also eat off of your shirt. I assume you’re going to wash it at some point anyways, so it’s not like I’m making any more work for anyone. And you should be happy to know that your work is going even farther than you realized!
The other one killed Stalin. Though less directly.
Edit: actually, should give all credit where it’s due. The other one also inspired the one that killed Hitler to kill Hitler.
It will always be an arms race. If someone develops a new style that doesn’t look like AI, then it’s only a matter of time before an AI model can generate that style.
And the future I see for this arms race is eventually it will be better than humans at producing art that doesn’t look like AI.
I’m at the point where I think AI generated shit should be judged on its own merit rather than for whether or not it’s AI because eventually we won’t be able to tell from other factors and any attempts will end up hurting humans more than the AIs (because they have no feelings to be hurt and will just continue while some portion of the humans will get discouraged and stop bothering to try).
Plus, at least with programming, saying code sucks because it’s AI generated is weak. If a code submission is shit, there will be technical reasons that it is shit that have nothing to do with who (or what) wrote it.
That’s the reddit sub. Apparently he’s got r/linuxsucks101 there. The image from this OP looks like Lemmy.
That thread started out looking like the uncanny valley but is definitely satire as it goes on.
And I corrected it to Gerudo and started playing Gerudo Valley in my head.
Though if I just repeat the first phrase n times before continuing with the rest, I can make it more like a Gerudo Valley Sandstorm.
He’s taking it as seriously as some people take their jobs.
Ah shit, I’m dripping implication all over the place.
Maybe a dumb one.
Though if you don’t want to be found, it’s a pretty good place to hide.
Yeah, it’s either that or someone who has decided their special interest is hating linux. If it’s the user that I think it is, when I looked at their history earlier, pretty much every post of theirs is over the top anti-linux.
Though I am glad to see that most of the accounts I suspect of astroturfing are generally downvoted to the negatives here. Though I do wonder if this place will end up being a training ground for propaganda that works on the segments of the population that are highly represented here that don’t seem as susceptible to the shit that would get eaten up on FB or gain some traction on reddit. Actually, windows love probably does well on reddit since it’s made up of people who haven’t gotten tired enough of the enshitification to leave and are probably doing the same with windows.
That… might even be why they enshitified it so much for no apparent benefit at the cost of many users that contributed positively. Those contributions might not have been seen as so positive if they responded to marketing bullshit negatively.
Looks do matter but both moths (and all others) belong outside.
I caught a moth that got in to my place with a small peanut can as it flew this year, one of my best bug captures.
It probably wouldn’t take long to figure out that it isn’t getting power through the solar panels. I’d guess testing the voltage on those connectors would be one of the earlier checks they do (there’s probably even an led on that circuit so they can see without even needing the voltmeter).
Someone might get hurt when a strong gust of wind finishes that cut, too.
Nope, Canada.
