I ended up doing a messy copypasta of the blog through wc -c: 21574

dude was so peeved at getting told no (after continually wasting other peoples' time and goodwill), he wrote a 21.5KiB screed just barely shy of full-on DARVO (and, frankly, I'm being lenient here only because of perspective (of how bad it could've been))

as Soyweiser also put it: a bit of a spelunk around the rest of his blog is also Quite Telling in what you may find

fuck this guy comprehensively, long may his commits be rejected

(e: oh I just saw Soyweiser also linked to that post, my bad)

his was my feeling a bit how it was used basically in security fields already

curious about this reference - wdym?

look, I'll do you the disfavour of giving you an actually detailed reply

you know exactly fucking nothing about me, about what I do, and about my competencies. if you did just a liiiiiiittle bit of work you might get an inkling, but: I know you didn't, and I know you don't.

that's not a judgement, that's just fact.

trying to flippantly rage at my derision of your shitty post.... I mean, points for effort? but.... be more interesting...? you're factory-line-identical outrage, and it's boring

para (2): sure, I made some inferred guesses. still don't think I'm wrong (and your little tagline ragefest there isn't helping, either)

paras (1) and (3): I lul. once again, if you knew anything about me...

but sure, go off queen. I'm sure your emanated bilge will be received with vim and verve.

mmmm, yes, being told what I don't know... oh yes, that's the stuff. best kind of thing to read after the kind of week I've had!

I was vacillating on reply harshness, but "hey tell me when you're home" ... some people just need to get better with informed consent.

(agree that this probably wasn't banworthy (yet), but close)

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.
