nah, there's definitely an actual something there - there's concrete actual physical extra silicon, with a design and a (marketing?) purpose

even better: opt-in, over opt-out

none of these fuckers want to go for that, because it'd make their darling shitpile look oh so bad

but it's also a stark thing: ~20y ago tech actually asked first, and (mostly) fucked off if you told it to

the way a lot of tech companies approach consent (and how users have been primed following that) right now is some mad toxic fucked up bullshit

"I work in IT" says the rando, rapaciously switching between support tickets in their web browser and their shadow-IT personal browser

"I've been having a lot of fun" continues the rando, in a picture-perfect replica of every other fucking promptfan posting the same selfish egoist bullshit

"So… I mean, I think it really depends on how it’s integrated and used" says thee fuckwit, who can't think two words beyond their own fucking nose

the fuck? please go be weird somewhere else

"coprocessors, but matrix-math specific"

the various *PUs are "things that help a lot of ML models run faster" sidecar chipset designs

it's actually kinda hard to get concrete details, afaict. I've had a bit of a look around for silicon teardowns and shit, and haven't really found any good ones yet

ooh wow, the speed of progress. such a well known indicator of something definitely being good, and never at all being abused by ghouls!

sometimes I wonder if any of you dumb fuckwits ever read any historical perspectives at all

"so true bestie" says the dipshit, brushing under the carpet all the notes about overt efforts and capital expended by monopolist captive operators

what in the utter fuck is this post

.....I was unprepared for reading this post

lol and then only after posting so I read @self's post. good going, me!

remarkably, your post is one of those "tech takes" that we hang around the watercooler for

although I'm not sure you'll get why

broadcom continuing to make vmware even more unappealing

bit of a fucking weird thing to do, too. guess they’re going full oracle?

wtf is going on with that touchpad - is it a tap calculator input?

longer: dragon dictate and similar go back to the mid 90s (and I bet the research goes back slightly earlier, not gonna check now)

similar for TTS

nah, just call a fuckwit a fuckwit. even jokingly giving them breathing room is something they know how to abuse.

your comment demonstrates a remarkable lack of imagination

that handy old adage: every accusation a projection!

now that you mention it, kinda surprised I haven't ever seen a spate of custom 3D-printed turbo buttons from overclocker circles

presumably everyone who has to work with you spits in your coffee/tea, too?

some thiel news, in which the tiny little man keeps trailblazing being the absolute weirdest motherfucker:

He has found religion recently. I don’t know if you’ve been following this, but Peter Thiel is now running Bible study groups in Silicon Valley.

now you may read this and already start straining your eyes, so I strongly suggest you warm up before you read with the rest of the paragraph, which continues:

He said in a few interviews recently that he believes that the Antichrist is Greta Thunberg. It’s extraordinary. He said that it’s foretold that the Antichrist will be seeming to spread peace. But here’s his thinking. He says Greta wants everyone to ride a bicycle. (Now, that’s a gross caricature of what she’s said.) But he’s said Greta wants everyone to ride a bicycle. That may seem good, but the only way that could happen is if there was a world government that was regulating it. And that is more evil than the effects of climate change.
