I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.

It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:

ELI5:

The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.

Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.

But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.

So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.

If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.

Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

How do you post a comment

Hello

Hello?

Is this actually going to post to the site???

How can you reasonably enjoy Subwoofer: The Movie without the $1600 triple bass rumbler?!

I’ve got a 850W power supply, which I bought 2-3 years ago in anticipation of the RTX 4000 series. My usual load with a GTX 1080 was 150W and now my entire system uses 520W completely loaded. Do I count? :)

they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality

It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.

Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:

Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.

Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.

Well, what war? War against who? Against what?

"Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.

We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.

Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.

I mean, why delete the contact? You could also demolish the headstone.

It costs you nothing to keep it in your phone as a memory.

That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.

Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.

Apparently the article states that the river failed E. Coli testing after heavy rainfalls, with levels detected 10 times the acceptable count.

This honestly just seems like a failure of the administration to properly take care of the athletes and wanting to go ahead with “a historic river race”.

They could have delayed or re-tested.

Olympics or not, they swam through a river of shit.

… podes

Cats were once worshipped as Gods.

And they have never forgot this.

What is this horse shit?

Dropping out four months before a primary election?

If that’s not wishful thinking on their part, it’s a borderline psy-op. Jesus christ CNBC. Get a grip.

Edit: Well fuck, I was wrong. You were all right. :/

Sorry Lemmy

squints

That says , “PHILLIPS DVD+R”

So we’re looking at a 4.7GB model, or just a hair under the tiniest, most incredibly optimized implementation of <INSERT_MODEL_NAME_HERE>

I had this unironically happen in a statistics class.

I visited said professor during office hours, and he goes: “How do you think you did?”

I said: “Statistically speaking given a standard distribution, the probability of me scoring any higher or lower than the mean is unlikely, so I guess give me a C for the course”

He stops and looks and then looks back at the computer: “Because you understand that, I’m giving you an A.”

I’m an AI Developer.

TLDR: CUDA.

Getting ROCM to work properly is like herding cats.

You need a custom implementation for the specific operating system, the driver version must be locked and compatible, especially with a Workstation / WRX card, the Pro drivers are especially prone to breaking, you need the specific dependencies to be compiled for your variant of HIPBlas, or zLUDA, if that doesn’t work, you need ONNX transition graphs, but then find out PyTorch doesn’t support ONNX unless it’s 1.2.0 which breaks another dependency of X-Transformers, which then breaks because the version of HIPBlas is incompatible with that older version of Python and …

Inhales

And THEN MAYBE it’ll work at 85% of the speed of CUDA. If it doesn’t crash first due to an arbitrary error such as CUDA_UNIMPEMENTED_FUNCTION_HALF

You get the picture. On Nvidia, it’s click, open, CUDA working? Yes?, done. You don’t spend 120 hours fucking around and recompiling for your specific usecase.
