  • Artificial Intelligence Analysis:

    The chin is situated near the area where the tongue and jawbone interact during speech. It’s possible that the chin provides a surface for the tongue to move against, allowing for more complex sounds and articulations. The development of language is believed to have occurred around the same time as the emergence of Homo sapiens. While other primates have similar facial structures, they don’t possess a distinct chin. This suggests that the chin might be related to the unique demands of human language.

    Bingo – other animals don’t have a chin because they didn’t invent languages like humans did for communication, and thus the demands of speaking weren’t evenly distributed.

    Next time on interesting questions 104: Why did homo sapiens develop language when other animals such as Corvids did not?


  • I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

    How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.

    I’m an AI Developer.

    TLDR: CUDA.

    Getting ROCM to work properly is like herding cats.

    You need a custom implementation for the specific operating system, the driver version must be locked and compatible, especially with a Workstation / WRX card, the Pro drivers are especially prone to breaking, you need the specific dependencies to be compiled for your variant of HIPBlas, or zLUDA, if that doesn’t work, you need ONNX transition graphs, but then find out PyTorch doesn’t support ONNX unless it’s 1.2.0 which breaks another dependency of X-Transformers, which then breaks because the version of HIPBlas is incompatible with that older version of Python and …

    Inhales

    And THEN MAYBE it’ll work at 85% of the speed of CUDA. If it doesn’t crash first due to an arbitrary error such as CUDA_UNIMPEMENTED_FUNCTION_HALF

    You get the picture. On Nvidia, it’s click, open, CUDA working? Yes?, done. You don’t spend 120 hours fucking around and recompiling for your specific usecase.





  • It’s a bit of a reductionist and humorous argument here but they weighed “Stopping the Industrial Revolution” against “Certain Death”, and decided that maybe the people of the future would be wiser than they were and invent a solution to the problem, similar to how they invented the steam engine to solve the issue of manual and animal labor.

    Obviously that didn’t really work out, because the people of the future did in fact, invent a solution, but it was completely ignored in lieu of profit-seeking.

    Somehow the problem invented was technological, spanned into the natural, but the solution pending was sociopolitical.

    Homo sapiens is a rare breed.

    Weird. Marijuana has an iconic, skunk-like / rotten bologna smell to me. I can smell someone smoking up to maybe 500 feet away, sometimes from the inside of my car. It’s a deeply repugnant smell.

    The strange thing being, I’ve smelled the actual flowers and the plant up close, and it just smells like grass. It only smells like shit when it’s burning, oddly enough.

    No idea why. Everything about the “natural smell” up close screams “this is a plant and can’t harm you in any way shape or form”. That specific experience made me in favor of decriminalization.


  • Samuel Vimes is personally responsible for my pair of good boots and he isn’t even real.

    I went mountain climbing on Saturday and the good boots saved my life. Sometimes it isn’t about feeling the cobbles beneath your feet in the streets of Ankh-Morpor, but about the god damned sharp rocks climbing Mt. Erebus, and the fact that one slip means certain death.

    Oh, and speaking of death, he loves mountain climbers. He doesn’t even have to do his job.
