They'll still find a way to make every game barely run and they'll still find a way to make windows really slow even if we have 300Thz cpus. And your old 5.9ghz threadripper will be considered too shitty to be used for anything.

I can see the headlines now. "GOP passes bill banning civilian ownership of anything faster than a Pentium III."

Society: you're expected to get a second job because if we made things cheap enough to survive off 1 job, that would be communism

Also society: no, not like that. That's cheating.

How the fuck can they not compete with 5G? Is using the advantages of their wired infrastructure to just provide customers with the same service as always but without the bandwidth caps, effectively overcoming the 1 major disadvantage of mobile internet, really that hard?

What if they covered the metal in some sort of protective coating? Perhaps even a colored waterproof coating. I think I heard of something like that once. It's called paint.

I have an idea. I know it sounds far fetched, probably won't work but hear me out. What if they put large poles on ships and hung a big canvas from each of them? The wind could blow against these, generating free thrust and it can make the ships go faster. Wonder if anyone's ever tried that before.

They would make a lot more money if they made games run on older hardware. Most people can't play cities skylines 2. Most people can't play kerbal space program 2. We don't want photorealistic graphics. Just give us fallout 3 era graphics because thats good enough. Fuck.

Wow wtf my comment didn't go to the post I intended. Huh.

That's precisely 12.4 gazillion dollars. Over 3x the value of the entire milky way galaxy.

So if you could theoretically let out a big enough fart, it would be visible on Google Maps.

If you get just the right gguf model (read the description when you download them to get the right K-optimization or whatever it's called) and actually use multithreading (llamacpp supports multithreading so in theory gpt4all should too), then it's reasonably fast. I've achieved roughly half the speed of ChatGPT just on an 8 core amd fx with ddr3 ram. Even 20b models can be usably fast.

This probably isn't very helpful but the best way I've found to make an ai write an entire book is still a lot of work. You have to make it write it in sections, pay attention to the prompts based on what's happening and spend a lot of time copy pasting the good sentences into a better quality section and then use those blocks of text to create chapters. You're basically plagiarizing a document using ai written documents rather than making the ai shit it out in 1 continuous stream.

If you could come up with a way to make an ai produce a document using only complete sentences from other ai generated documents, maybe you could achieve a higher level of automation and still yield similar quality. Because otherwise it's just as difficult as writing a book yourself.

As for software, use llamacpp. It's a cpu-only ai thingy that can utilize multiple cores. You probably aren't getting an nvidia gpu running on any arm board unless you have a really long white neck beard and a degree in computer engineering. Download gguf compatible models for llamacpp on hugging face.

People spent lots of effort on Xbox 360 hacking just because microsoft spent so much effort making it as unhackable as possible. Fortunately, console gaming is so much less relevant today that it's not even worth remembering what the latest consoles are. Sure, there are some shitty AAA titles that lock things down or are so demanding they need a $100k pc but between the few ethical worthwhile ones and the expansive library of actually good indie games on steam, consoles just aren't worth fucking with anymore.

I thought I never used it until my right shift key stopped working. I then found out that I use that thing a lot actually.

Welp, using the internet was fun while it lasted. I'll still use Firefox for all my browsing until I can't anymore and after that I guess I'll go fuck myself for entertainment instead of internet browsing.

The only thing making this guy less scary than Trump is the fact he's not running for president... For now.

I finally upgraded from a 3rd gen i7 to a 6th gen i7. There was no actual performance difference besides my gpu vram getting hotter, I just did it because the motherboard wasn't as shit. I'm sure the difference between a 6th gen i7 and an 8th gen i7 is equally unnoticeable. I didn't want to ever boot Windows again anyway.

Edit: huh, I'm intrigued by the downvotes. Is it because I used the wording "no actual performance difference" rather than providing benchmarks and proof? Is it because computer technology isn't improving at the rate it used to and people are in denial and/or easily triggered about it? Or maybe because I'm "probably a troll" based on my username?
