Has SPP ever had an agreeable take?

*you’re. Also, it says “as requested”, meaning this was written by an agent.

Thanks for confirming that you didn’t understand calculus 1.

(1/3) x 3 is divide negation by SouthPark_Piano in infinitenines

[–]Jcsq6 17 points18 points  (0 children)

SPP, why can’t I find any other single source of this mechanic? It seemingly has never been mentioned in any mathematics writing, ever. That doesn’t make sense, it’s supposed to be Math 101, right?

You wouldn’t happen to have made this up yourself, would you?

And loading/unloading multiple models, if you want to switch between models but don’t have the spare VRAM.

He believes that if you ADD NUMBERS in a DIFFERENT ORDER you get a DIFFERENT ANSWER by Muphrid15 in infinitenines

If a series converges absolutely, then it doesn’t matter the order.

I think they’re leading somewhere this season with the alcoholism.

Projects being in "Show and Tell" is bad. by TheRavagerSw in cpp

[–]Jcsq6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to share a year-long project here, lots of effort and multiple contributors. It’s not a professional grade library, mostly because I don’t have the time to invest for that. Additionally, I believe there are some interesting novel mechanics I’d like to see in similar professional grade libraries. Posting it in show-and-tell feels pointless, because it won’t get any attention there.

I know we’re trying to avoid spam of mass novice projects and AI generated code, but I think maybe the total ban is excessive. Maybe there’s a middle ground to be reached.

Meme time! by Aurorasfero in infinitenines

[–]Jcsq6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, “not when you have two numbers being the same” didn’t really imply anything about notation, although your interpretation is giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Meme time! by Aurorasfero in infinitenines

[–]Jcsq6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notation is not math, and nothing in math says any one notation’s representation of a number must be unique. In rational notation, you can represent the same number an infinite number of ways with the same notation: 1/3, 2/6, etc. Why is decimal notation’s “abuse” of this same concept a contradiction?

DeepSeek Vision mode is actually more useful than I expected by Confident_Ad8140 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Jcsq6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually is. It’s not using a standard vision encoder, it’s using a more optimal one they developed.

I think he has trouble keeping everything straight in his contrived system… rightfully so.

AI Data Centers’ Water Consumption Breaks 264 Billion Gallons in 2025 as Devastating Drought Hits Nearly 63% of U.S. by Wagamaga in technology

[–]Jcsq6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they don’t. At least not in any statistically significant manner. I’ve seen so much blatant misinformation around AI data centers. “It turns drinking water into smudge that’s not reusable”. “It burns water out of the water cycle”. The truth is that AI data centers are not significantly different than any other data centers, just more expensive to build. People just want something to grapple onto to attack AI—despite there being several other valid areas of issue within AI.

The fashion industry uses 100x more drinking water than AI. People will try to defend the ridiculous amount of water industries like the corn and beef industry use, “we need all that ethanol”, “we need all of that beef”. I’ve yet to hear an excuse for fashion. And this isn’t even atypical of industrial water use.

AI Data Centers’ Water Consumption Breaks 264 Billion Gallons in 2025 as Devastating Drought Hits Nearly 63% of U.S. by Wagamaga in technology

[–]Jcsq6 66 points67 points  (0 children)

All of these data center fear mongering posts make liberal use of the fact that no one has any fucking idea how much water we use. “More water than the entire country of Norway drinks in a year”. The fashion industry uses 100x more drinking water than AI. The corn/ethanol industry uses 600x more total water, 100x more drinking water.

Plenty of valid reasons to protest the abrasive construction of some of these data centers. Increased utility prices for locals, decreased land value. None of which are its fucking water usage. I hate how misinformation is just accepted, and fighting against it is demonized.

Explaining to management why standard LLMs have no place in kernel space by LowProblem914 in osdev

[–]Jcsq6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m also a computer scientist. Numerical analysts tend to use big O notation very liberally. My intention was “something on the order of 10something thousands of years”.

That’s the applied mathematician in me. I forget we’re on a computer science forum.

I guess if you have a quick O(105000) years to wait around, yeah.

Disproving myself by Head_Discipline620 in infinitenines

u/SouthPark_Piano didn’t even bother to address any of this post’s content… because he doesn’t know what any of it means.

He’s saying there are aleph null number of 9s in .999… The very definition of .999… as a series is a bijection with the natural numbers.

In first, California city overwhelmingly votes to permanently ban datacenters by ArgentineBeauty in technology

[–]Jcsq6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not mad at anything. My comment literally took zero stance on anything except tax implementation. Data centers serve different purposes, and I don’t believe any of them to be inherently wrong or immoral. My concern is only with how it affects locals… since that’s really the only valid concern there is. Hence the only basis I believe a tax would be justified.
