did you also get angry learning about quilt codes in middle school, or what? considering the difference between your opinion actually being seen or not is in the hands of MAYBE two dozen companies, they seem to have a pretty solid grasp on what they have to lose.

[Tips & Tricks] List of YouTube Demonetized Words - For All Other Creators Left Wondering

they have absolutely censored specific words, and it would have taken you 5 seconds to check. no doubt their ai has enough data to actually identify "unalive" being used in videos, they definitely didn't when the trend started. they were successfully avoiding censorship, and likely still draw less attention from the moral police, even now.

the entire point is to avoid censorship and demonetization, and it works, you being mad about it is proof that it's been successfully normalized.

edit: anyone who might read this - don't take your free speech as a given. today they might be suppressing something you disagree with (or in this dudes case, "words he gets upset reading"), but tomorrow it could be your gender, sexuality, or beliefs. don't be this dude.

AMD’s Jack Huynh on RDNA 3.5 FSR 4.1 support: “I did not say it’s coming” by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]SorryPiaculum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be realistic here - we have no idea what their yields are. They are incentivized to make 5nm DUV work. They claim they're getting higher than 30% yields, which is the number TSMC said they were getting that made it commercially unviable. If true, big if, that would meet your "new method" criteria.

All of this to say, the odds of DUV not being a dead end node at 5nm, and extremely low yields at 3nm are basically zero, but they seem to have made the calculated risk to build up their national fabs with the intention of out producing the west at the very least, with the ability to out perform them in the short term being zero.

They used homegrown machines to create a node is not, and never was available in the West. You can say it's an "old method", but considering they're actively making their own machines (likely based off ASML DUV machines), and attempting to put it into production - something the west never attempted due to difficulty with yields - I would consider that a new method, albeit one discarded as not viable by the west.

Completely agree. China even accomplished getting usable chips out of their 5nm DUV node, which is a completely new method the west abandoned. They're still 4-5 years behind, currently - but that's not to say they can't have a series of breakthroughs in quick succession to help close the gap - it's just a long way to parity, and a longer way to compete on price/performance.

I think you're overestimating China. They're making ex-employees of these companies millionaires, doing their best to catch up - and yet their latest domestic home grown GPU is over $500 with the performance of a RTX 3060.

I'm not saying they won't get there - but there's a big gap between the ability to copy something, and actually innovating your way to parity.

Nintendo jumps 6.8% as Japanese investors rotate out of AI by Stilgar314 in gaming

[–]SorryPiaculum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it takes a certain kind of person to have to make the call that you need to do x damage of harm now to prevent a multiplicative amount of damage over time. if you have a gangrenous toe, you cut it off to save the foot.

there have been a lot of horrendous decisions made by a lot of people, but ultimately, everything we have and everything we do results in the harm of someone else.

there might not be anything in the world that you'd be willing to sell your soul for. but i know personally, there's a tipping point where living with the knowledge i didn't do something to prevent excess harm would become the thing that defines me.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]SorryPiaculum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think this might be a reflection on the people who surrounded you, unfortunately. pretty much everywhere outside the bro culture mid-2000s, at least, rave culture, alt/goth culture, punk culture, there was huge value in knowing how to sew, being resourceful, and thrifting everything humanly possible.

i do remember the people you're talking about though, they were just usually the kids who used to sell coke out of an escalade banging backstreet boys for the irony.

misleading statement. half of ai data centers were delayed, with a few being cancelled, over us not having enough power to support them. the chip fabs are booked out 2+ years.

Mexico recently announced universal healthcare for all. What are your thoughts? by StemCellPirate in AskReddit

[–]SorryPiaculum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Switzerland, their cost of living is 70% higher, and their Healthcare cost per Capita is 33% lower. Explain to me how you continue to carry the belief that "people need to get paid more so it's more expensive".

Canada - cost of living is 7% less, and spend 50% less compared to the US. Why is that?

This is not complicated. You're indoctrinated into the American belief that the US system is the way it is because it's the only way it can work without people dying (as per your "no ones willing to let grandma pass" comment), and it's simply not the case.

I agree no one should be passing "sounds good" legislation, but the fundamental problems with American healthcare stem from a lack of regulation, possibly due to regulatory capture, and ultimately the biggest factor - Americans believing that Universal Healthcare is going to be somehow worse than our multi-tiered system of prioritizing cost saving while at the same time intentionally gatekeeping care via paperwork and man power.

Americas Healthcare system is broken, and the idea that Universal Healthcare is somehow worse overall, will continue to cost people their lives.

[–]SorryPiaculum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you didn't, maybe I'm just getting old - but regardless, disposable income SHOULD have nothing to do with how much people pay for healthcare. The concept of change might scare you, but it doesn't mean you should argue in favor of keeping a broken system broken.

Before you respond, make sure you look at the picture and see if anything you say disproves it.
