MaxiTB

The real MaxiTB since 1986. Personal account. Definitely not a German. Software architect, overpaid consultant and former game dev. In stats we trust.

What professional software developers do in their spare time.

@DJSnM Why are technical manuals using Dungeons & Dragons units? The US makes no sense...

@skdh Sometimes I think I'm the only one old enough to remember the Aether lol
Dark Matter happened in science before multiple times, it usually takes only one paper that points out the flaw in the current model of the universe to get rid of magical elements.

@skdh @bitappend Actually that sounds incredible cheap. A lot of people not in the biz forget that data centers require constant maintenance. You cant do that in space, so maintenance cost will balloon by either doing traditional redundant inefficient designs or constant replacements.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@skdh Yeah, they missing the point. Its not impossible, it will make the already token generator services expensive squared because they are already highly substiticed not worth it for most proposed business cases.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@davepl1968 I think this discussion is missing a bit the main point: The reason why they plan to put data center in space has nothing to do with cost but simply because nobody wants them on Earth. And yes, space based centers are very, very expensive compared to Earth based.

@1scottishbanter Haha, yeah, those guys over there ain't speaking English proper like. But dun tell 'em or they also get super mad and pull their sandwiches.

@LocasaleLab US universities are basically hedgefunds with teaching and science as a side hussle.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@Star_Knight12 Guess you never met a real developer then lol

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@6ixgatsu Dun worry, I had no idea as well but I also never played the game :-)

@tonyver45 @RepPatHarrigan @DeptofWar It's an administration of the current government of the United States of Mexico. That's a region between Canada and Mexico that nobody cares about really.

@NOYBeu Ähm, wo ist der link wo ich eine CSV Datei runterlegen kann um nachzusehen ob ich dort drinnen stehe?

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@GlobalBoxOffice He-Man was a gay empowerment ad comic series to sell toys watched by now 45-50 year old men. And for some reason they made a movie for Zoomers and Alphas where everyone in it is a joke. Yeah, I wonder why it didnt find an audience.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@skdh Nah, paid beats unpaid.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@HoloCureGame Koganei Niko? Eh?
Flow Glow is also in the next update? :-O

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@keekihimedesu AI slop everywhere these days, but no worries, their days are numbered when companies actually start charging at cost after the funding has tried up. That's when the bubble starts bursting ;-)

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@DJSnM Yeah, when politicians try to bend scientists to align with their agenda then you know those are the baddies.

@EAFPW_Official @vincent1701 I never noticed green watching on PAL which was way more accurate when it came to colour. Then again as dev I know that the darker a colour gets the harder it becomes for the eye to spot it, so I wouldnt be surprised.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@skdh @sama The reason is pretty simple: Token generators use a static approach, the biological brains replicate, mutate, die out constantly and that evolution actually makes creativity possible. Even an approximation of something similar using Turning machines would be extremely costly.

[MaxiTB @_MaxiTB]

@skdh @sama To be fair, current token generators have nothing to do with AGI. If you would try to make something human-like with regular bpnns that are used currently, you wouldn't be able without using the whole compute resources of the planet and then some (optimistically).
