If RAM is so expensive and AI needs a lot of it, why won't they just optimize the AI?

Let's say you can make an AI that runs in 128GB memory and scores 96% on some benchmark. Now let's say that a bigger model scores 98% but requires 512GB.
The sensible and responsible thing to do would be to stick to the much smaller model that's nearly as good. Unfortunately while you're busy doing that, your competitor has just released a model that requires 2TB and scores 99%. Nobody cares about anything other than bigger number = better, so your sensible balanced model immediately becomes irrelevant. Better start working on a 4TB model that scores 99.8%.

It's probably cheaper to buy some more ram than to optimize the models.

I don't regret switching to MacOS. It has all the capabilities of Linux, but is an actually stable just werks OS.

>>107610783
I've never personally owned one, but always have gotten a mac for my work, and have always enjoyed it. I just use the terminal for everything anyways, but the native terminal is linux enough to work fine for me, and I find it much more pleasant than WSL. The laptops are also completely caked up in terms of CPU / RAM, and after switching to ARM I don't I've even heard the fan on it once.

It does have a lot of things I don't like. The built-in kernal protection is pretty annoying and fucks up important tools like gdb, but since everything I work with gets ran on docker anways it really doesn't get in the way. The windowing system is also bizarre and causes me issues, but again I spend 99% of my time in the terminal / browser so its not that big of a deal. Major OS updates are always pretty fear inducing as well, since it always causes breaking changes somewhere which can be hard to debug.

It's fine. It unironically just werks better than windows. I think genuinely productive people don't care that much about their operating system.

I debated Mac briefly, but then realized I wasn't born with a silver spoon up my ass, and that I like having control over my computer.

Yacht parties, booze, girls. A-list AI researcher gathering at NeurIPS gives us plebs a glimpse of the super secretive world of A(G)I.

Partygoers were mostly enthusiastic. The sentiment among these experts is that 2025 marks a transition from simple generative chatbots to Agentic AI, autonomous systems capable of solving multi-step problems and performing PhD-level tasks in specialized fields like chemistry and mathematics.

There was of course some pessimism in the crowd...

The "P(Doom)" Number was a common question among attendees. ie. "What’s your number?" referring to their personal estimate of the probability that AI will lead to a human catastrophe.
Researchers debated whether current methods like scaling up transformers are enough for tomorrow's breakthroughs, or if "continual learning" and "reinforcement learning" (RL) are the necessary next steps.
Lastly there's a clear divide between the "open" spirit of academic research and the increasingly secretive nature of the private labs that now dominate the field.

Is there a safer embedded programming language than Rust?

>>107618555
I would argue Ada, especially the SPARK variant. It is way better than Rust IMO for handling complicated embedded systems, just has fallen victim to not being as popular (astroturfed?) as Rust..
Plus the base Ada language was used in fighter jet flight control systems for a while.

I've been using this site https://meatfighter.com/ascii-silhouettify/ to generate ASCII art for Fastfetch. It's pretty good, but it seems pretty geared towards flat logos and I want to display some stuff with more depth. I've used some other programs which can generate that depth, but they don't export to txt files with ANSI color codes, which would be the only way for fastfetch to read them. Is there an easy way to splice these programs or to otherwise generate high-quality readable ASCII art? I don't know anything about programming, so i can't really build my own program from scratch.

Why doesn't MS get enough credit for DirectX?

Every GPU innovation ever only exist because Microsoft kickstarted it through DirectX. Remember when GPU went from the separated Vertex and Pixel shaders paradigm to the unified shaders paradigm around 2006 ? That was because Microsoft rewrote their graphical API stack for WIndows Vista and the Xbox 360. NVidia and ATI only created GPUs that would work with the new API.

DX12 on Windows PCs and Xbox is pretty kino.
