Silver lining to high hardware prices, geopolitic conflict won’t target civilian infrastructure when there are far more efficient targets like data centres.
Does anyone have links to the info on the two data centers being hit?
LOL, that’s probably where the Epstein files were stored.
Why does his face look like he paid others to attack the data center?
It’s for the insurance fraud once they bail on the AI no one is going to pay them for.
Fake. That’s his old face.
Data centres are prob insured, but they sure aren’t getting any more replacement RAMs & GPUs from the local mom & pops lithography fab.
Rams & Gnus?
It’s weird lately I keep seeing people pluralize RAM as RAMs. Is memory already plural in this context? Would we expand this as Random Access Memories? We don’t usually ask “how many memories does your computer have?”
Though it occurs to me we do this with ROMs, but in that context it is referring to ROM cartridges, or more likely files from rips. You wouldn’t say “I have 16k of ROMs on my BIOS.” Weird.
I agree (I don’t think there is any doubt at all about that, but ty for your politeness, it is appreciated) but I found it funny (only) lately, ‘my rammies’ (as in sticks of RAM, like individual objects), cute, precious. Over time a living language tends to have it’s way with acronyms anyway.
Rammies are ramekins from kitchens. You can’t have it!
Brilliant
Won’t somebody think of the Shareholders™ 🙏
can’t forget about them. bomb them too
I am. I’m thinking of cruise missiles giving them a big ole hug
Unfortunately the only thing cruise missles give to billionaires is a hard on.
That’s only due to choice of targeting.
Hitting the AWS data centers is about the only good thing to come out in the last couple of days.
Gives us a roadmap for the rest of the world.
Well, Russian soldiers are complaining that the war is going even worse for them than a month ago! I’ve read a few different reports about that and yesterday, and that’s wondrous news to get to read!
That’s great news, on that front I’ve also heard that there are ongoing negotiations for Ukraines accession into the EU.
It would be nice if France and Poland would flex some military might and help the Ukrainians out.
I dunno, Facebook was down almost globally for a few hours too (potentially related but not sure)
Maybe Jeff will take his super yacht through the strait to check on his data centers
Must be nice to still have dreams
shame its ai. i miss real manual photoshop
It almost got the letters right, but the sign behind Bush said “Reading makes a country great!” The AI fucked up the C on the last row.
Ironically, pre-LLM era photoshop may have already used AI (image-processing) techniques behind the scenes.
May have? Even something like rock fill is obviously ai processed.
And funny how that was hated at the time, but is now just a normal tool. Like what’s going on now.
Remember when Photoshop demoed that magic eraser thing that would just remove things from a picture if you drew a circle around them? That seemed amazing at the time, now it’s obvious.
If you’re talking about what I think you are then that actually didn’t use neural networks (see the part where they add ‘negative weight’ to an image area):

That was also the basis for content aware scale of course.
