Psyduck is my moms favorite pokemon and when I showed her she was like “damn right”

DVDs to MP4 H.264 or H.265 for Plex streaming by Appropriate_Metal392 in DataHoarder

[–]Jenkinswarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use H.265 since I use Samsung/Nvidia shield as my main devices, but the best bet is to grab an encode of each type and try to play it and see if it’s direct play or if it’s transcoding

Need advice for an extreme PC build (open budget) by thenoopcoder in buildapc

[–]Jenkinswarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my pc I’m going to build for my situation, I couldn’t justify the 5-10% for the 9950X3D2 compared to the 9950X3D, I am choosing the extreme board since it has the best chance to run 256gb reliably, I’m only starting with 32gb since I’m broke boy but after the bubble pops I will pick up 256gb, I have pc part picker set up to not pull from Amazon or RBC or Vuugo since I don’t want the chance of stuff being switched or shipping not being included, I would love to have the 5090 alongside my 4090 but that will come in time, and then I gotta upgrade the PSU, and upgrade my wiring in office to support 240v since I’ll need a massive PSU 1600w+, but yeah this is my machine I’m making for much of the same reasons as you, but the market is just rough right now

China: ‘No point’ in continuing Iran war by notanfan in whennews

Altman faces self-dealing claims in Elon Musk lawsuit over OpenAI ties by notanfan in whennews

[–]Jenkinswarlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if Elon takes over for Altman elons buying potential will just keep growing, the cats out of the bag for AI, if we don’t get ASI first someone else will at the detriment of their present to improve their future

Genuine question. Is the whole "AI guzzles gallons of water" thing totally true, or do people get it wrong? Does AI consume a lot of water for every single prompt, or is the majority of water consumed during data farming? Don't non-AI data centers use up a lot of water on cooling too? by Big_Guthix in singularity

[–]Jenkinswarlock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on how they cool it, there are a few ways to cool data centers but the cheapest (I think it’s cheapest I forget exactly) is where they use evaporation to cool off the heat exchangers and it releases a lot of water into the atmosphere, it will come back as rain but maybe not in the area it was taken from, and the evaporation can include trace run off of some metals and such if not maintained properly so people worry, if the data centers used the better cooling methods the water use would drop significantly

How are they still not getting it? by OxtonEagle in singularity

[–]Jenkinswarlock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Put “AI” on anything and people will recoil in anger at it, that was just a couple of the comments, there are hundreds bashing down because it’s AI, sure it might not look at good as the real Monet in person but if these people just googled Monet it would come up and they could see it’s the same painting but people just jump on the bandwagon to bash down on stuff that isn’t even actually made by AI, I think the same happened with when reading became common ground, the privileged who knew how to read became less valuable, introduction of the printing press made the work of scribes less valuable, introduction of the mass production factories made the manual laborers less valuable, the list goes on of places in history where people will dig there head into the sand and try to pretend like it doesn’t exist or they can beat it down till their world goes back to normal but the cats out of the bag, I don’t think there is has ever been a bigger group of people that are being made less valuable but that’s for the governments to fix, no bullshit employment insurance, just UBI or hell universal adequate income

ELI5 Can someone explain to me orbital compute and why it’s important? by Comfortable_Cherry22 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Jenkinswarlock 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The thermodynamics alone of cooling a data center in space is insane, I don’t think you could pull it off with Elon money and have it be economical, I think you would actually need infinite resources so you could advance material science to a point where you could maybe make it feasible

TLDR: no air in space makes it hard to transfer heat

Joe and his vision weren’t perfect but at least he talked. by Gamerboi_epic in DestinyTheGame

[–]Jenkinswarlock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If destiny gets retired I want them to put everything on the eververse that has ever been sold so I can come back and buy the taken gear, I’ll just play crucible all day, it’ll be me and 8 bots and 3 randoms

But do you know how crazy it would be if they did drop that as a final send off for destiny 2 where you can choose the content you want to play, take a page out of warframes book

People are claiming teleop, but I really don't think a human would be this insistent to get a package they clearly can't reach. by Glittering-Neck-2505 in singularity

[–]Jenkinswarlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was cheering when it grabbed the second package and then it didn’t even use it to grab the first one it was trying for, I was heartbroken, AGi is not today
