/biz/ herre.How is AI not another dot-com bubble?What are its practical applications, aside from porn generation and helping high schoolers with their homework? How does it make money?
>>107741602You mean automate half of all jobs in developed world and third of all jobs in developing world? You mean spam the internet even more to the point of making every part of the internet just a botnet that eventually collapses on itself from no advertisers bothering to prop up the terabytes of automatically generated slop? You mean the medical breakthroughs that have been boosted by groundbreaking tools like alphafold and AI programs that can generate molecules on the fly, all while drug development has not sped up in any significant way? You mean the automated drone technology that makes the battlefield be completely controlled by AI systems with human commanders just answering yes while examining the decisions for mere seconds? Or you mean the decreased costs of services and productions caused by companies passing down the savings from all the laid off people onto the consumer instead of increasing profits or using that money for some stupid scaling up side project?
>>107747050They really all talk the same way and say all the same phrases. I can’t figure out if it’s paid training or they use LLMs to post their drivel.

is smr really as bad as people say?I've been using a seagate external for years and never noticed an issue want to get a second one. but I keep hearing how smr is dog shit and the worst thing ever. I just wrote about 800gb to mine and didn't notice any massive drops?
>>107744964Most people don't usually have 800GB of blu-ray muxes. Usually it's thousands of JPG files, carefully curated music ripped from a youtube-to-128kbps-mp3 website, documents, and so on and so on. That's where SMR chokes dick. You can mitigate this by zipping up all those little files into a giant .rar I guess.
>>107745055it was all random assorted files
>>107744964It'll grind down to a halt once it starts getting full or fragmented enough for it to need to rewrite large chunks of blocks to write a few empty blockst. Seagate 8tb smr
Yes, smr is pure shit

>>107746056compiler devs think they're really smart and their optimizations are so Amazing(TM) but in reality they can't optimize for shit and they just end up bloating the code size with useless AVX instructions in dead paths which are barely ever called

Some AI sycophant manager tard at my work was ahead of the curve and added a performance metric of "AI adoption" for the team a while backBelow expectations was defined as "being disparaging towards AI"Gets harder every day to not lose it
>>107743306>Not sure what would need to happen so that regular people would start paying subscriptions for AIWhat if they even did?What if everyone gave all their internet money just to AI? Would that even be enough to cover this shit?
>>107747632Legitimately, how do you refrain from turning in completely broken garbage and just telling them AI did it?
https://youtu.be/TK5Tz4Bt94Y?si=lhjNOsOvc1EweNiJI'm glad they made the video, but I think it has been common knowledge for quite some time that the protocol is highly insecure and that anyone spoofing a pair of headphones can inject executable instructions. China's 110 group has been using this heavily for about nine years on American soil because the short range of the signal necessarily means there is no automated logging of the code used to achieve the penetration as there would be when using a cellular traffic protocol. Once someone gets into a phone in this way, they can even re-program the phone to act as a Bluetooth spoofer which automatically maps out networks of acquaintances.One of the most common implementations when 110 uses it is to send a young woman with the Bluetooth spoofer into a gym in, let's say, Arlington, Virginia (as many federal employees and people who work for defense contractors live there) so that they can get close to people who have Bluetooth actively running to stream music. The girls will usually be wearing American-themed patriotic attire, which is laying it on a bit thick if you ask me.The U.S. Government has been silent on this issue the entire time but has made some plans to build ELINT-secure gyms in government buildings and to encourage employees to use those employee-only gyms to "prevent workplace injuries." The trouble is that the federal employees are not being warned against using Bluetooth and they are not being warned against using public gyms.

I propose a movement to rename >Microsoft to >MicroslopIt would be an accurate renaming, considering how they have clearly stated that this is what they want to be.
When windows vista came out, I started calling it 'Mickeysoft' at work. Some took it over and used it as as derogatory term when something went wrong with MS technology.So I'm up using the term 'Microslop' whenever MS pushes the AI wagon a bit too much, which is, by any tech company standard, a lot.
I'd love a decent, modern phone that doesn't have this faggot ass camera bump and can just lay flay on a surface again. Nobody needs this gay shit.
Never thought I'd see the day /g/ of all places would openly shill Apple products. Zoomers really are a cancer, aren't they?
as opposed to heckin based jewgle
i always thought it was crazy that people embraced these things but i guess once apple does something fucking retarded everyone follows.you'd think recessing the lenses would be the thing to do to protect them instead, or maybe they're like that on purpose so people brick their cameras by cracking them so they have to buy a new one.
>>107746882But I do like faggot ass camera bump, phone camera photo quality was absolute ASS prior to its inclusionI just hate the exclusion of headphone jack.
>>107747712>But I do like faggot asssounds like it
the entire VPN industry is a giant circlejerk of shell companies reselling the same pool of rented servers that log everything at lower level
>>107747576>what is connection padding
>>107747572which ones are you referring to?also the best VPNs these days are multi-hop that you build yourself.start by connecting to some shared VPN then route through a residential VPN.the residential VPNs don't really log because they're not really legal. you're just buying access to a botnet.
>>107747627Mudfish
>>107747609Wouldn't this help with VPNs, too? >>107747627Are they really botnets? I thought it was just people voluntarily selling their home connections for "passive income"
>>107747662On rare occasions it is indeed selling their home connections for passive income, but in most cases it's straight-up botnets through either hacking or free (malicious) software.Yes, padding would work with VPNs. While it isn't commonly implemented, you can implement it yourself in a rudimentary manner.>>107747655looks fine but only supports their custom client? I like being able to set up my own clients, use ssh tunnels, etc

>>107746596Nah it's rock solid, I've had months of uptime with this thing. I just reboot when there's a kernel patch requiring it.Cosmic ray, galvanism, something. Anyway this is still a top of the line laptop, you can't even buy something with a proper keyboard any more. It's fully supported by OpenBSD and always works great. Something happened.

Zoomers do not know what a screen saver is
>>107737575Zoomers are the dumbest humans to have ever lived, literally mentally retarded. It's a fact.
>>107738977I never understood how this qualified as a screensaver.
>>107743334>Zooms zooms can't make a living and grow up>Proceeds to not hire anyone born after 1997 like >>107740019 preventing them from making a livingI think we should kill all of you along with the boomers
>>107739930Burn in is why these screensavers made most of the screen dark and just drew a relatively few lines (Mystify Your Mind), dots (Starfield Simulation), images (Flying Windows), etc., and always in motion. Typically it would screensave for a while and then put the screen to sleep / blank it. Or you could shut off your screen if you were going away from your PC for longer.Or if you didn't care about entertaining animations, you could choose the "Blank Screen" screensaver.

>>107747071People are nostalgic for PS2 and Gamecube games, even though gameplay mechanics in modern videogames have remained largely unchanged since then
>>107743377yup
>>107747071Yeah, I have a hard time getting the point of that video, unless it's advanced memeing. I suppose it could be the general UI look and feel.
