Has AI produced anything good other than AlphaFold?
>>107846134I used a local model to make a video clip of Bjork and Oliva Munn making out once.
>>107847332You could have done that in the same time or less with YouTube tutorials and some wikiHow articles.
>>107847268AlphaFold is not a scientific contribution to anything other than an RL journal as an application paper. It is a non-contribution that has led to absolutely nothing of note within biophysics.

>>107847216>Ai has provided us with a lot of interesting thingsLike?
>CEO sends out an email encouraging company to use AI more>We consulted an AI (((expert))) that says it will make us more efficient >Encouraging Copilot specifically bc we are already using Office, Azure, Etc.>Mfw im the current IT dept head and was not consulted about any of this or brought in to meet with the (((expert)))How do I tell him this shit is a terrible idea and AI should not be trusted with any meaningful or security sensitive information? Bonus points if it's a response that won't get me fired
>>107844490What fucking retards
>>107844490>How do I tell him this shit is a terrible idea and AI should not be trusted with any meaningful or security sensitive information?AI doesn't think.AI doesn't innovate.AI projects what you want to read based on averaging its training dataset. Often that gets close to the real answer, but very much not always.AI simulates a midwit bullshit artist. (I've known people like that too. Yuck.)An awful lot of speculative money has been spent on building AIs and is still being spent on it. At some point, that's going to show up in how much it costs.A lot of people running big AI services seem to be utterly unethical, relying on theft to build their training datasets and then lying about that. Do you want to trust a known liar?If you want an AI that you can actually trust properly, build a local model running on hardware you control. It'll likely be shit, but it will avoid most of the really nasty governance problems.
>>107844580To be fair, copilot demands data and it wouldn't shock me if those models leak in details you weren't supposed to know. This isn't the same as SharePoint hosted in Azure or some shit. This is literally a half assed database fed data.
I love finding out just how far behind some companies are when it comes to AI adoptionhate to break it to you, but the next few months are gonna be a lot worse

This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026) also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.am i finally getting it /g?

>>107841456>I'm physically attracted to unnecessarily overengineered hardware.Look up the tray loading mechanism of high end laserdisc players that can do both A/B side reverse and have a separate CD tray. It's a byzantine labyrinth and you have like one master cog driving three or four things, from the tray loading to lifting the entire big ass transport rails driving the pickup.I had to repair one of those once, it was damn near hypnotic.

>>107847728What is it then? A scan?
>>107847586Lol what. The "laser" lights up the face to then be read by nothing? You know how scanning something works, right? The data doesn't flow back through the "laser" like some alien tractor beam.

>Steven Bartlett, the founder and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, took a chance on an applicant with a virtually blank CV for that very reason.>“I hired someone who’s CV was two lines. Their experience was zero,” Bartlett explained in a recent LinkedIn post. “Much of the reason why I gave her the job was because: She thanked the security guard by name on the way into the building.”>“When she didn’t know something, in the interview she said ‘I don’t know that yet, but here’s how I’d figure it out,’” Bartlett explained. “After the interview she went and self-taught herself the answer she didn’t know, and emailed it to me within hours.”>The founder took a chance on the experience-less candidate, and it didn’t take long to pay off; Bartlett said that six months later, she has proved herself as one of the best hires he’s ever made. “Fifteen years of hiring has taught me that culture fit and character is MUCH harder to hire than experience, skills or education.” https://fortune.com/2026/01/08/diary-of-a-ceo-founder-steven-bartlett-hired-someone-zero-work-experience-thanked-security-guard-before-interview/

>>107847311I didn't see your game? By right of honor you must post your game before I would even consider responding
>>107847338I think you need to check your ego bro, pretty much any multiplayer game that people actually play does everything on the server except movement, it's been that way since Quake
after a few failed attempts i am finally making progress on my engine without getting stuck.the secret was to forget about trying to have good architecture and just have a sandbox file to just add and try random shit in.if i make something decent, i clean it up and put it into its own source fileif i need somethign specific i can focus on that alone i do spend too much time on thinking about the design, but i just doodle diagrams and dont code anything until i have it worked out
C++ eternally BTFOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fGB-hjc2Gc
>>107847071no, i wish C would add templates and constexpr then it would be literally the perfect language
>>107837821very entertaining video. but c++ is what you get when you have the best programmers trying to agree on anything. everyone has their own autism idea how things should be done.plus the high entry cost adds a level of gatekeeping which is very useful to keep the suckers out.

Is Alienware AW2725D a good monitor? I can get it for $450.
>>107847668No
>>107844444now that pc ram will be overpriced for basically years to come is there any chinesium ddr3 board with a more modern cpu and chipset? is there a point to using a ddr3 system currently? I was originally building two to three systems. one was a meme build that was just a hobby shop thing to run 10th gen intel blue rays, basically a htpc, another similar one was made to accept floppy disks for memes, and the last one was supposed to be a more modern ricer slop with ddr5. as of now I dont have a ddr5 system period and cant imagine I will own one for the next 5 years at this rate.TL:DR DDR3 system with modern chipsetIs there anything worth plugging DDR3 ram into if I had to buy parts used? if not, thats fine, just figured i'd ask. I might also ask in /csg/ since the only reason I figure this question is worth asking is because china shits out tons of odd motherboards.
>>107845272Why DON'T they just add a fan? Surely this must have come up during testing, unless their testing chamber was a perfectly chilled environment that so happened to have the air conditioner pointed at the monitor? A single blower / radial fan could be kept out of the way, not at risk of being accidentally touched and enough to keep it below melting, which is really the least anyone can ask for when it comes to hot electronics.
>monitor fansmiss me with that coil whine shit
You could do such complex things with just 100 Megabytes of RAM
>>107844224that's when magic happens
>>10784422416k
>>107843760Who cares?Use electron.
>>107843760Back in 1986, 2MB of ram was still a lot and considered high end for PCs. Even with an AT, you couldn't even really take advantage of more than 640KB unless with a very small set of programs and hardware setup, or by running some Unix distro instead of DOS.Amazing that this thing had 100MB back then, $135k for a computer with that amount of ram in 1986 doesn't even sound too expensive.

These are the only Features that would make me want to upgrade to the new bloated ios-looking version of macos.Will these actually remove pajeet interactions from my life and get rid of the annoyance of sitting on hold or is it bunk?
>>107847261>Will these actually remove pajeet interactionsif you're a Mac user, you still have the one when you look in the mirror
>>107847261No, the pajeets will just lie and the based White men who don't talk to clankers will hang up.
I don't have a mac but on iOS 26 this feature basically does not work. And even if it did teh other person will just think you're not there and hang up. Which is probably preferable.
Can't wait for some company to create AI agents which can interact with phone mazes and on-hold hell for you.
