I missed the word "server" every time and thought it was a client, and spent far too long trying to figure out how you'd play Minecraft in Bash. Text based? ASCII graphics?

No, but it's a hell of a lot easier to put huge language datasets into the machine learning blender and get a model out, instead of manually programming every conceivable linguistic construction.

No. They're literally a meme for how bad they are on tech content: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/the-verges-gaming-pc-build-video

If electric bikes were the only thing allowed on back roads, you'd never be able to make enough grocery/dump/Tractor Supply runs to have time for anything else in your life.

Is anyone actually running modern Linux on Itanium? I have never in my life even heard of anyone using those chips. I find it hard to imagine anyone still using them that isn't running something legacy.

You posting on Lemmy by mail?

[-] wmassingham@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

Yeah I think so, but they've stopped providing security updates for it.

They don't have to do it well, just enough to satisfy the lawyers.

It wasn't running on the pregnancy test then, and it's not running on a keycap now. Both this and the pregnancy test are someone putting their own hardware into a random enclosure and saying "I'm running Doom on X!"

No, you're not really. Would you say that I'm running Doom on a banana if I put the same hardware inside a banana peel? No, because it's just a case for something else.

If he was running it on the keyboard's existing processor and it had a screen in the key, like Doom on a Mac touchbar, then I would agree.

What about when it’s used to identify criminals? When it’s used to filter between potential job candidates?

Simple. It should not fucking be used for those things.

It's not a surprise, but it gets upvoted because "threads bad".

So do I. You're telling me you've never had someone try to describe a cable or read an error code over the phone and completely mangle it?

A video would let them say "yeah, that looks like a stroke" or heart attack or whatever. Or notice things the caller didn't describe, like they're calling for someone they found unconscious, but they didn't notice the live power line right next to them.
