Autism emerges from higher intelligence: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4927579/

If anyone must be branded atypical (not saying anyone should but am willing to pushback on those who do) and in need of special attention it should be the historical story-mode dependent who cannot move on from childhood allegory.


Your take is disingenuous.

At the 2025 Indy 500 they had Tom Brady driving laps in an Indy car engaged in banter witb the broadcast team up before the race started. Then a US military propaganda moment flying Blackhawk helos over the track to titillate their target audience.


I think the GP poster was referring to the actual race, and not the peripheral parts of the event -- I don't know much about racing in general, but even with the extra "propaganda" you mention, they didn't seem disingenuous


I watch both here and there, not every race. Both Indy and F1 have very similar format with the "peripheral" parts.

OP had to have been referring to the "peripheral" parts of the race, as it's the only time celebs are trotted out.

They don't have Ja Rule calling the action during F1 races; they aren't getting Ja Rules input when there is a crash.

The celebrities are nowhere to be found during the actual F1 race.


Television networks have employed censors who shape acceptable content since forever

Where is the discovery in this paper? Control infra control minds is the way it's been for humanity forever.


Pricing compute out of the average persons budget to prop up investment in data centers, stocks, ultimately control agency

If an RTX 5000 series price topped out at historical prices no one would need hosted AI

Then it came to be that models were on a path to run well enough loaded into RAM... uh oh

This is in line with ISPs long ago banning running personal services and the long held desire to sell dumb thin clients that must work with a central service

Web developers fell for confidence games of old elders hook line and sinker. Nothing but the insane ego and vanity of some tech oligarchs driving this. They cannot appear weak. Vain aura farming, projection of strength.


Yea we do:

Shut off gadgets unless absolutely necessary

Entropy will continue to kill off the elders

Ability to learn independently

...They have not rewritten physics. Just the news.


Applied math is little more than semantics compression.

This fundamental truth is embedded in the common symbols of arithmetic...

+ ... one line combined with another ...linear...line wee

- ...opposite of + one line removed

x ...eXponential addition, combining groups

•/• ... exponential breaking into groups ...also hints at inherent ratio

From there it's symbols that describe different objects and how to apply the fundamental arithmetic operations; like playing over a chord in music

The interesting work is in physical science not the notation. Math is used to capture physics that would be too verbose to describe in English or some other "human" language. Which IMO should be reserved for capturing emotional context anyway as that's where they originate from.

Programming languages have senselessly obscured the simple and elegant reality of computation, which is really just a subset of math; the term computer originated to describe humans that manually computed. Typescript, Python, etc don't exist[1]. They are leaky abstractions that waste a lot of resources to run some electromagnetic geometry state changes.

Whether it's politics, religion or engineering, "blue" language, humans seem obsessed with notation fetishes. Imo it's all rather prosaic and boring

[1] at best they exist as ethno objects of momentary social value to those who discuss them


Ah, thanks; we definitely needed more artisanal, real human social media slop like this.

Improving the lived experience keeping it real! Feels so much more authentic.

More people would love AI if it communicated like an emo *Nix elitist. Train it on Daria, Eeyore, and grunge lyrics! People will love it!


A truly progressive vision of politics and economy is zero out the fiat wealth of the elder generations. Fiat wealth that is not mandated by physics but socialized belief there is a communal upside to insulating them from loss. Sounds like socialist commie gibberish!

What obligation to maintain the ledger of dead and dying people? Are they alive on the planet now? No? Never heard of them.

You're conflating "what people want" with "only choice"

If you look at polling this is not what the majority want

Since much of this truth is merely rhetorical, socialized truth, not immutable physics, the fix is to propagate a new narrative about how the economy works, how politics work, and threaten the elders the way they threaten the youth. They are older and weaker naturally. End the one sided ageism


MTBF for data center hardware is short; DCs breeze through GPUs compared to even the hardest of hardcore gamers.

And there is the whole FOMO effect to business purchases; decision makers will worry their models won't be as fast.

Obsolete doesn't mean the reductive notion you have in mind, where theoretically it can still push pixels. Physics will burn them up, and "line go up" will drive demand to replace them.


I don't see how MTBF is connected to obsoletion. My razors don't last long either. I buy replacement razors as required. But the model of razor I use doesn't obsolete.


Source? Anecdotally, GPUs sourced from cryptomining were absolutely fine MTBF-wise. Zero apparent issues of wear-and-tear or any shortened lifecycle.


My bellybutton fluff, uninformed opinion is that heat cycling and effective cooling are probably a much more limiting factor.

If you are running a gpu at 60C for months at a time, but never idling it (crypto use case), I would actually hazard a guess that it is better than cycling it with intermittent workloads due to thermal expansion.

That of course presupposes effective, consistent cooling.


Anecdotally, I killed two out of two that I was hobby-mining on for a couple of years. They certainly didn't sound like they would work forever.
