It’s mainly about handling and processing vast amounts of data. Many times more than you or I may deal with on a day to day basis. First, you have to have somewhere to put it all. Then, you’ve got to load whatever you’re working with into memory. So you need terabytes of RAM. When you’re dealing with that much data, you need beefy CPUs with crazy fast connections with a ton of bandwidth to move it all around at any kind of reasonable pace.
Imagine opening a million chrome tabs, having all of them actively playing a video, and needing to make sense of the cacophony of sound. Only instead of sound, it’s all text, and you have to read all of it all at once to do anything meaningful with it.
If you make a change to any of that data, how does it affect the output? What about a million changes? All that’s gotta be processed by those beefy CPUs or GPUs.
Part of the reason AI data enters need so much memory is because they’ve got to load increasingly large amounts of training data all at once, and then somehow have it be able to be accessed by thousands of people all at once.
But if you want to understand every permutation of whatever data you’re working with, it’s gonna take a ton of time to essentially sift through it all.
And all that’s gotta be hardware? You have to make doubly sure that the results you get are accurate, so redundancies are built in. Extremely precise engineering of parts, how they’re assembled, and how they’re ultimately used is a lot of what makes supercomputers what they are. Special CPUs, RAM with error correction, redundant connections, backups… it all takes a lot of time, space, and money to operate.
They’re campaigning like the fascists are going to follow the rules. They won’t, they aren't, and they never have. Take the fucking gloves off and stop pretending like anything less than forcibly removing them and putting them in a jail cell for the rest of their lives is going to do much of anything.
Seriously. It will be bloody, a lot of folks (probably you and I) will die, but the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Things won’t be fixed until there are no more Nazis.
I can’t say what I’d like to, so I’ll just say something about how if they’re shooting us and using banned gas grenades on us, we should be responding in kind.
The only language these fucks understand is violence, and it will take a significantly larger amount of it visited upon them for a longer amount of time for the message to become clear. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE INTOLERANCE.
On one hand, yeah, fuck this surveillance bullshit. The last thing my car should be doing is making anything more expensive, and it’s not the job of the insurance companies to be the road police.
On the other…. Maybe don’t drive like an ass? It really isn’t hard to, I dunno, use your blinkers, leave enough room between you and the car in front of you, and to get in the correct lane ahead of time.
I just feel like the lady doth protest too much in this particular situation.
I’ll toss in my two cents.
