BTW, just in case it wasn't clear: the Disney ASL song remakes were not AI generated or anything like that. Just a ton of hard work from a dedicated team of artists and TDs who cared deeply about doing this properly, with ASL choreography by the Deaf West Theatre.

My wife was one of the TDs who worked on this! Believe you me, things got weird with resurrecting the 8+ year old Frozen 2 pipeline; we're not even on the same OS as back then.

aha, so compared to the single x3d version, it does typically draw slightly less power (but not always).

if i weren't broke, i would be the target market for this chip, bluntly. and it would have to drop precipitously before i'd even consider it.

yes, it's ostensibly a gaming chip, but uhhh, tons of L3 cache for 150-200mhz off the top (pushing it into a slightly more efficient range)? don't mind if i do.

but $200 for 64MB extra L3 cache? what the actual fuck?!

dysfun@treehouse.systems ("gaytabase") wrote:

anyway it's a very nice chip, very nice indeed and priced so highly you would have to really want that little bit extra for that large hike to justify it to yourself.

amd have certainly put on much entertainment for us all today.

they blacklisted gamers nexus, so of course he's got a video that is rather uncomplementary.

meanwhile, steve at hardware unboxed sent their new amd chip off to steve at gamers nexus as soon as they'd tested it, so he got one to test anyway, albeit not in time for that launch day video.

and der bauer says the new chip is pointless.

Have you noticed this thing where when a type of character appears in story enough, they become dissociated from the actual nature of the original character type? E.g. being a cartoon cowboy does not imply that one is a young man who runs cattle. It's about a set of clothes and a gruff attitude. A pirate strictly speaking no longer needs to be engaged in any kind of violent robbery. A princess is someone young with a crown, but may not really need a monarchy they are in line for.

Ok, do you pay a living wage?
"No"

Do you give annual raises more than 7%, the annual rate of cost of living increase?
"Also no, but-"

Do you give larger raises and bonuses to execs than to your workers?
"Well yes, but-"

Did you force people to stop working from home in order to justify the cost of maintaining real estate you own?
"I mean, we-"

Do you heavily invest in AI so you can justify massive layoffs?

Do you ask your employees to pick up the slack for the people who have left?
"We had t-"

And did you install digital tools to spy on your remaining employees?

Sounds to me like people DO want to work, you've just made it unpatatable for them to work for YOU.

I’ve just witnessed a horrific LinkedIn trend in person.

There’s an increasing contingent of cultists saying:

“We should refer to the field of IT as ‘AI’ because that’s what the future is”

I’m not sure what podcast they heard it on, but some guy just said to me:

“You work in AI, don’t you?”

Um… no? Security and IT

“Yeah, AI”

This person made a choice to attend a major tech conference and be this stupid.

Stop the planet, I’m disembarking.
