@davepl1968 Give an ai access to it, pretend to be a manager, give it tasks, and see if it’s a good operator.

Supercomputers / ML clusters / HPC often brag in FLOPS. The database world likes to show off something entirely different: tpmC tpmC is a highly complex measurement of the transaction performance…of a fake company.

@PA_Supremacist No, it’s not very good. It doesn’t even go to the airport or university/hospital areas let alone along the rivers where many of the neighborhoods are. It was a good start, but irrelevant and forgotten about by many.

For a city of its size, Pittsburgh has a pretty good light rail network. It’s a very good reminder that our Pennsylvania neighbors in the Steel City also very much depend on public transit. Transit is in no way just a Philadelphia issue

@RuinedTome @FerTech @__tinygrad__ @ivanfioravanti Did you add an external gpu? The m3 ultra runs ai pretty good stock. It would be kind of waste to not use what you paid for.

@jamanjeval @FerTech @__tinygrad__ @ivanfioravanti "just"? That's the whole reason I bought my M3 Ultra

@benheck Yep. 💯 agree. We’re already mostly there with the web.

Conspiracy theory: Microsoft goes all in on AI, RAM prices explode, consoles become unaffordable, MS sells a streaming Xbox Game pass thin client for $99. That's the end goal for Windows too - all online and we use thin clients. You'll Own Nothing.

@benheck Taxes already expire money. But the problem with your plan is then power shifts towards the rate of wealth acquisition to counteract it expiring: short term thinking. (Already a problem) Then again if grapes were currency, wine could be made when it expired.

Great Reset: Create a slave class (us) that cannot threaten the elites (them) CBDC money tokenized so IT CAN EXPIRE. You'll never save up for a house, or to become the next Jeff Bezos. Democracy/middle class is a TINY slice of human history. Old families want the old ways back.

@Variety Maybe this will be good. I don’t find the synopsis extremely compelling, but I hope they’ll pull it off. I do wish they would tell some other stories within the world that have nothing to do with major LotR characters. The Hobbit has so much wasted potential from being rushed.

NEW 'LORD OF THE RINGS' MOVIE
Stephen Colbert is co-writing "The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past" (working title), which will go into production after "The Hunt for Gollum."
The synopsis: "Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo - Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began."
Colbert is co-writing the script with his son, Peter McGee, and franchise veteran Philippa Boyens.

@TheDemocrats This is the game our political parties play: an “us vs. them” power struggle instead of doing what’s good for the citizens, regardless of their affiliation.

@VadimYuryev I’d like to see some benchmarks comparing the native fan algorithm vs the fans constantly at 100% How much performance is being left behind by being quiet?

Definitely download TG Pro to control fan speed with custom curves and monitor chip temps!
This developer saved our butts and got beta versions ready within an hour or two for the new M5 series Macs so we could monitor temps!
Tunabelly Software@tunabelly
M5 Macs are here, and TG Pro is ready. Full support for M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max with temperature monitoring and fan control. Details: tunabellysoftware.com/blog/files/tg-…

@WTAE This just makes Pittsburgh even trashier (pun intended), because a clean city should be the norm instead of only when we’re having guests over.

@yiningkarlli Nice, but I wish they had a desktop 5090 competitor.

The M5 Max MacBook Pro is faster at GPU Blender renders than a Nvidia 5090 laptop that costs 3x as much as the MacBook Pro. So that's interesting.

@SULLY10X Maybe oversized load crossing tracks should be coordinated with the rail road such that there is enough time to slow a train if there is a problem with the crossing.

@MakeAugusta These low quality multi taps shouldn’t be allowed. Period. They’re not even suitable for low current devices because the sockets don’t retain and make good electrical connections to plugs. You’re rolling the dice.

Please do NOT plug space heaters into extension cords! Plug them directly into the wall outlet!!!
Extension cords/ Power strips are not able to handle the high current flow that a space heater can put out and can overheat causing a fire. 🔥🔥🔥

@andrewkaylor @nypost The clicks! Maybe the story is factual, but there is no real reporting or investigation in it. A lot of questions are left unanswered. Nevertheless, hopefully some good may come of this to prevent similar accidents.
