Yep, that’s how I associate SSRIs.

Don’t take my word for it. You could do even the slightest bit of research about the noble and righteousness of lying under the cover of taqiyya, or, go spend some time in Islamic countries.

I’m sorry, I’m too pro-women’s and gay rights to get mixed up supporting people who want nothing less than those two things. Classic ideologue though, attack the messenger while avoiding the topic as hard as possible.

SV_BubbleTime··on Nvidia projects $673B in sales as AI demand widens
>Small models are rapidly growing in capability, require less compute to train and serve

Must be very clear that China’s undercut strategy, which is a well-known and studied tactic that they’ve used for a long time, it is absolutely dominating this point.

Right now you can LLM, code, make songs, images, and esp video on gaming hardware in your PC that would’ve been absolutely datacenter shit last year.

So the question will be does the scaling continue to benefit efficiency or ability?

If ability (needs datacenter storage and performance), how much better can the code get? How much more realistic in the images videos get? There are definitely strides to be made everywhere, but man, just like the bottleneck wasn’t coding, I’m not sure the creation bottleneck is rendering.

The correct description is that under taqiyya, Muslims can, do, are expected to, and celebrate outright lying about their intentions and goals if it furthers the spreading of Islam.

It’s literally in the book, there are no moderate versions of the book.

You can be mad, you can think I’m lying, but it’s right there.

Lol, when I first got to my first Islamic country, it was explained to me as a nice outreach program, that prayer song was broadcast as loud as possible for Fun Hey Look At Us Talk To God announcement.

A year later that guy talked to me more honestly and told me it was taqiyya to lie about taqiyya, smiling ear to ear.

SV_BubbleTime··on Zohran and the Short Link
This is such a wild thread.

Here I have seen firsthand and lived in these areas. Seen firsthand what is allowed and actually deceitfully done under taqiyya.

How many times have you even stepped foot in a mosque?

You have the information in front of you and it’s almost compulsion that you need to ignore it, and attack me instead.

Yes, you are the “normal people”.

Given how untrustworthy politicians have proven to be, it's madness that so many people on social media and still keep falling for the same acts.
SV_BubbleTime··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
> whether you think international law still exists

Well that’s an easy one. It doesn’t. There are specific agreements, and I guess you could consider war crimes the primary example of an international court. But there is no and should be no international courts for immigration.

A country gets to set its own laws, end of story. The current happenings in the US are a direct pendulum swing from the previous administration. If people can’t accept that, it just shows how biased they are. Or how one-sided their information sources have been.

Always written and followed up with “but…”

If only the millions and millions of people that NGOs were shuffling in over the Biden years could have had some obvious and expected pushback… I don’t remember anyone here saying “geez, this could effect more than a response to illegal border crossings down the road!”

SV_BubbleTime··on Mechanical Turk shutting down September 30
I used it before AI coding and it was getting rough. Lots of US interviews with proxy Chinese or Pakistani workers. Lots of bullshit “I’ve done that; I can do this” and instantly apparent that this was untrue. Just the outright lies… whew.

I haven’t touched it since AI coding.

It’s a bad contractor market now. IDK what I would do if I needed a contractor.

> task arbitrage and using lots of AI anyway.

Oh, I remember UpWork.

Come on man! They’ve only had 10-15 years! It snuck right up on them.

You sure about that math?

And yet, the top comment is about “hardcoding” weights into the silicon.

Man, if only someone made like, chips that could lots of different calculations all at the same time!

I wonder if there are any legs in an internal sensor that pushes out its reading every x? That seems pretty plausible.
SV_BubbleTime··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
There is always a legit reason. It’s just never the only reason.
SV_BubbleTime··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
Don’t care.

There is no reason to assign a GGUID except to identify the person, not that the photo is generated. This is nothing more than surveillance.

Selective enforcement is a tyranny generator.

How about the law doesn’t exist if it doesn’t actually make sense?

Because that sentence hits hard in the smh.

What are you doing to solve it? How much are you donating towards medical supplies?

Oh, right.

Yet… violence has plummeted world wide and there has never been a safer, healthier, more prosperous time in human history.

But, you could understand the hedonic treadmill, read some history books… OR… cry about it into your thousand dollar smartphone.

SV_BubbleTime··on Windows brings out the Rorschach test in everyone (2003)
The most shocking thing for me on this was that Ivex was such a shit version of Linux and gave me such trouble I put Linux off for 10 more years after that crap. It was not at all ready for normal people. Night and day different to Linux today.

Your grandparents almost certainly had siblings or knew of their friends siblings dying from now completely preventable diseases.

The quality, safety, comfort of low income housing in the United States is exceptional in historical terms. The fact that you CAN be anything you want is an unheard of concept even 60 years ago.

The worst cars on the market today are modern marvels of engineering compared to decades ago. Let alone throughout the history of the country.

College, lol, you literally have a secured loan to do study whatever you want with absolutely no required direction from anyone else… to receive the worlds knowledge if you want it.

Oh, things are more expensive? Yes, they’re massively higher quality and larger.

You’re mad about things, OK. They’re objectively the best they’ve ever been. This is indisputable, but again, I get that you WANT to be mad.

SV_BubbleTime··on Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months
Almost everything that is upsetting is you, is being intentionally shoved in front of your face to make you feel mad. You are being played.

Your great-grandparents had like a 40% child mortality rate. You’ll be ok that some people around the world are fighting which has been a human constant throughout all of history.

128GB 3600Mhz… $600 just last week.
SV_BubbleTime··on Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months
I don’t think there were some grand conspiracy to buy up the world’s ram to keep other people out, it is probably more likely that they just really thought they would need it.

However, I do feel like this is the type of conspiracy that unfiltered Claude would come up with.

What else do you know about the inner workings of the current administration… and seriously reflect on why your answer isn’t “lol what? Absolutely nothing!”

I just laid an arm and a leg for 128GB of DDR4. More than I normally would have ever spent, because the alternatives were far worse.

SV_BubbleTime··on AI-Generated GitHub Copilot “Autofix” Allowed Compromise of Snowflake's Jira
I mean… it’s only Monday!

But yes, there is an interesting change in the past decade, where everything new must be over-hyped.

Perhaps it is attention overload and needing to shout. Perhaps it’s that technological progress has significantly slowed while communication options have exploded (coincidence?).

I look at it a lot like EVs. They’re great, if your use case is inside the specific band. But, that isn’t who they were being marketed to. And now… “pushback” is putting it lightly.
