I know what will fix this, 28 lanes!

In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it.

Are you sure about that Sam? Because one, you’re the snake oil salesman writing this and I wouldn’t trust you as far as I can throw you, and two, yeah maybe it scales predictably but the prediction is that training the next generation for marginal improvement will cost an exponential 100 billion (and that is taking your Microsoft discount for compute into account). You’re hitting a wall hard and the profits are still not in sight. This avenue of progress is a dead end and Sam knows it, because OpenAI is selling PPU’s instead of stock and looking to Saudi investment. Don’t get stuck with the bag folks, the few thousand days Sam claims to need aren’t survivable.

A calculator stapled to a potato would be better than Windows

I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.

As in my profits, our losses?

That button should be on his lectern and it should say TRUMP so he’ll do the honors himself.

Oh so I guess piracy is fine if it’s citizens getting robbed huh? Funny how that works.

All those negative things are happening in a society that implemented mass surveillance so clearly it doesn’t help. Recording a crime doesn’t prevent it and if there’s no incentive or funding to make sure justice is served afterwards the recording is useless. I think you’re mistaken in who this surveillance is for: it doesn’t exist to improve your life but to empower corporations and state against you.

I happen to think there are some awesome cars for sale in an aesthetic sense as well as a practical one, the only thing I hate is the existence of the obligation to own one.

Enshittification. They’re too big to care.

In a lot of meetings I’m expected to be in I mostly just listen and jump in to answer specific questions. When working from home I like to be active with chores during the meetings, I’ll just take them on my phone. Sometimes I do motorcycle maintenance! It helps me concentrate much better than watching talking heads.

Shocked! Shocked I say!

As a 20 year IT veteran, first help desk, then sysadmin and now R&D, I am jealous. By the end of this year my cost of living will decrease significantly and I’m contemplating taking the financial hit for a career change.

No diagnose, only fix!

Agreed, the professor’s mouth and eyebrow should be flipped around.

I took a shit on the floor of every room. Joke’s on you!

Ah yeah, pay money to pay money. That’s not a grift at all!

If it was enough for you to write down then it’s enough to work on not giving a fuck about

I used to work on these as a sailor. Most can be chartered for trips. Some sea going ones travel across the world to this day. If you want a fun week get some friends together and sail one some place!
