  um I actually thought cpu was the thing that went up first followed by memory. maybe I was reading articles wrong. oh wait it was graphics wasn’t it.

  I am surprised this did not occur like in a month after a certain sporting event.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shanghai scientists create computer chip in fiber thinner than a human hair, yet can withstand crushing force of 15.6 tons — fiber packs 100,000 transistors per centimeter⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  so they say this:

  Enthusiastic claims by the university blog assert that a 1-meter fiber “could hold millions of transistors, reaching the power levels of a standard desktop computer processor.” But, we had to go back as far as the Intel Pentium III or AMD K6-2 to find PC CPUs with so few transistors. Both those legendary CPUs launched in the late 1990s, and they feature a smidgen under 10 million transistors each.

  but that seems trivial when you take into accout:

  The finished fiber has a tiny diameter, measuring about 50um.

  What I really want to know is how its connected and how hot does it get. Im envisioning a spiral of coil that can be on a meshe with a fan blowing right out the case. That would be amazing. Or if it needs more connections then a series of parralell lengths. Its like could you put them on top of each other with mesh that acts as a good conduction or having every other water cooking channels?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, thinks it can still be saved — despite some parts being 'optimized for nastiness'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_(web_decentralization_project) it mentions peer to peer but nothing on this authentication it has. Only thing that would make sense to me is something like the distributed ledger:

  In more detail, Solid consists of the following components:

  An organized collection of standards and data formats/vocabularies providing the same capabilities that centralized social media services offer, such as identity, authentication, login, permission lists, contact management, messaging, feed subscriptions, comments, discussions, and others.
  Specifications and design notes describing a REST API to extend existing standards, to guide developers building servers or applications.
  Servers that implement the Solid specification.
  A test suite for testing and validating Solid implementations.
  An ecosystem of social applications, identity providers, and helper libraries that run on the Solid platform.
  A community providing documentation, discussion, tutorials, and presentations.

  why would investors want that? it would result in loss of all investment as it is now an entity wth rights.

  just to be clear to folks. This is about wikipedia getting compensation for all sorts of ai providers grabbing data from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should AI Agents Be Classified As People?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no but we don’t just tax labor. honestly we shouldn’t. tax the coporate income and don’t allow them to dodge it overseas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fall into the anti-AI hype⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The hype goes both ways. Its fine as a further abstraction of search but its energy usage is still concerning although I hope hardware technology will reduce that. Its generative funtion can be useful but is disengenous and so far cannot replace actual talent. It can also be a crutch as one becomes out of practice. That being said with folks that lack talent like myself it can be very helpful when you simply don’t have or can’t afford someone to help you. Its certainly going to improve and not go anywhere. Avoiding it would be like avoiding web searching to find answers in the aughts.

  from what I read sounds like it wants to reduce state regulations. so yeah. bullshit enshitification. obamacares most significant thing is not pre existing conditions and requiring insurers to spend a minimum percentage of monies collected on healthcare which is pretty significant things. The only way to improve it is with single payer.

  I agree here and this goes back before ai. Any automated thing is fine with humans in the loop but once you take them out is when the trouble starts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  illini pride:

  Enter the new technique from scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. There, a team led by chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Xiao Su, has been spending time disassembling batteries and then submerging them in an organic solvent. This leads to a brine that contains lithium as well as other metals present in the batteries.

  To harvest the lithium, the team developed a special electrode created from a copolymer consisting of molecules that attach to lithium and those that respond to an electrical current. When placed inside the brine and electrified, it sucked only lithium from the solution like a sponge, leaving other metals behind.

  ah. missed that. I think my brain mixed it in as part of private use rather than a private lm instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in four unconcerned by sexual deepfakes created without consent, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah and photoshop things had the issue with passing around to. AI does have the issue of input being integrated into other output though. If someone asks for a redhead will it reference redheads various randos inputed into the system. Honestly whats scarier is if someone wants to touch up photos of their family and ai takes that as human images that make sense to use as reference for other porn material requests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in four unconcerned by sexual deepfakes created without consent, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see this. Someone had a comment in another thread that if its for private use its fine and I sorta get that but someone else made the point that ai should not have the info really. So people should really be concerned that ai can have image or video or audio input by users. They should have to use text or non image docs. If someone wants to deepfake and ex they will need to describe them.
