The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, while ChatGPT, a large language model, has 175 billion parameters (often referred to as “artificial neurons” in the context of neural networks). While ChatGPT has more “neurons” in this sense, it’s important to note that these are not the same as biological neurons, and the comparison is not straightforward.

86 billion neurons in the human brain isn’t that much compared to some of the larger 1.7 trillion neuron neural networks though.

It’s doing “great” but there is a massive gap in diversity and breadth of topics/subs here unfortunately. Obviously it gets better over time in theory but right now the majority of content exists over there… sadly.

GIMP is unfortunately not a good competitor, the UX/UI is atrocious, and that’s after spending 25 years using it now… I switched to Krita for most things at this point. GIMP needs some sort of revamp.

I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that the RDDT stock price has dropped 40% in the last month, and it’s not surprising. That site is a sinking ship.

That’s the unfortunate side effect of rampant inflation where wages stay stagnant as markets decline. Look at how many restaurants and fast food places closed last year. I’m lower middle class and I have stopped getting fast food entirely. Every time I pass by on the way to and from work I just see the total for the meal in my head and drive past them now because it’s just not worth the overall financial damage. I honestly don’t know how everyone else is affording even Taco Bell meals regularly every week. I used to work there years ago and the food was significantly better back then, and way cheaper than other food sources. Where the hell did they all go so wrong this past year? Greed? There’s gotta be a price gouging greed mechanism in there somewhere.

I’m more surprised that they thought they could double prices, but yet somehow still very noticeably drop in quality. McDonald’s quality drop isn’t quite as bad as say, Taco Bell and others but wow, seems like hubris is in the air lately with these corporations’ executive boards.

I am genuinely perplexed at the amount of mental gymnastics you are doing to justify attacking civilian ships from other countries that are not enemy combatants. Incredible Olympic display of psychological back-flips.

The only downside is that their algorithm never changed, the same station had the same songs on repeat for 7+ years, not a single new song added per-query for some reason. Keeping it fresh would have gone a much longer way.

While that is true, a lot of death and suffering was required for us to reach this point as a species. Machines don’t need the wars and natural selection required to achieve the same feats, and don’t have our same limitations.

I finally made the plunge to Linux desktop for all work in 2016 and have not looked back (and occasional windows VM, extremely rare now.) Even Arch is now perfectly fine as a workstation which surprised me. Recommend EndeavourOS to streamline the install process but it’s Arch underneath.

Is it possible for you to rephrase that comment? Don’t quite understand what you are getting at.

Highly recommend this.

A modern Neovim configuration with full battery for Python, Lua, C++, Markdown, LaTeX, and more…

This is enough to get the intellisense and linters up and running. Only takes ~5 minutes to configure by installing prerequisites, it’s worth it though.

Late stage capitalism is a blight of humanity, there’s gotta have to be some sort of revolutionary changes to society at the rate this is all headed. The world is not healthy right now.

If you look around, fast food places and Pepsico and everyone price gouging, it’s a race to the bottom for a last cash-grab before what appears to be an inevitable recession – brought on by some of these same conglomerates. Mass layoffs (tech sector over 250k layoffs last year across the board), among inflation just murdering people’s wallets. Credit card debt is over 1 trillion now, people are “surviving” off of high interest debt to maintain life at this point, but it’s not sustainable at current rates.

You mean the whole licensing ordeal? Retroactive type crap? I know a few developers personally that dumped it entirely because of that. Although I heard they backpedaled a little bit on that part because of the backlash, but the damage is done, trust is gone.

Why is nobody looking at actual border control stats?

382,847 encounters FY2024YTD. Does that not concern anyone? (Edited to reflect @OptimusPrimeDownfall’s update)

I was going to say this, the way Biden is handling the border crisis is turning a lot of NYC, Chicago, and Denver voters off (and more, those are just hit pretty hard lately.) EDIT: Check out the mayor of NYC’s polling numbers. They are the lowest since polling began. It is the worst administration in NYC’s history because of the migrant crisis handling. I can confirm with links but not sure what good that would do if people have made up their own minds.

Good point, it’ll be good to see their public revenue sheets when they reach that point, 500 mil seems like a lot for the site but it is global so maybe there’s more cash flow outside the US.

I think you’re right. People say I use the word “terrorist” too much, but this fits the definition in my opinion.
