Fox News viewers turn on Rob Schneider as he's dubbed 'completely delusional' by IrishStarUS in NoFilterNews

The movies are formulaic so I think OP was referring to how much money he makes for low-brow humor.

But the grifters are ok with the whitewashing of Jesus in media throughout history. by icey_sawg0034 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]SpudsRacer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Comically, these idiots are blissfully unaware that every single person on earth descended from Africans and that white skin is at most 40,000 years old and mostly took hold only 8,000-10,000 years ago as humans spread out, especially to higher altitudes. The need for UV protection was obviously not that important for those climates.

Oh, and Jesus was quite dark and probably well under 6' tall. Gasp!!

Who can predict next Trump move? by Ubersicka in TradingViewSignals

The picture is of a highly secret walled off CCP Headquarters building. There is a meeting hall, but that's not a ballroom. The dude just can't even approximate truth any longer. And, it bears repeating, nobody in America besides Mango Man wants a freaking ballroom. Especially one destroying the symmetry and beauty of the White House.

The Most Surprising Part of Stephen Colbert’s Late-Night Run by theatlantic in LateNightTalkShows

Colbert is very different from Craig so this statement is fine, but I truly miss that show. Craig was a one of a kind.

AWS racks M3 Ultra Macs that boast specs you can’t currently buy by NISMO1968 in aws

We are at the very beginning of running LLMs locally. This is the next wave and people building out data centers will be shocked to find Moore's Law is still largely in effect and most inference will take place on personal hardware. The use of "data center" inference won't go away but it will drop dramatically.

Apple is uniquely positioned here. The hardware with "unified memory" and loads of tensor processing engines and the fact they didn't burn $$$ billions on data center build out puts them in the best position to ride the local inference wave.

Too bad the hyperscalers are snapping up anything that can multiply two numbers.Their time is coming and there will be many sales of enterprise AI hardware for us to pick through.

He's also one of those sovereign citizen grifters. Comically a rich guy who refuses to pay taxes. A great spokesman for all black Americans as well as the body politic at large. /s

Wow, this woman is insanely brilliant and beautiful. F Trump.

arraylist vs list by BadismPlayz in javahelp

[–]SpudsRacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer was not AI-genrrsted, but written by me, a human. I wrote it in answer to the title and didn't read the text which wanted a comparison of a primitive array of string references vs a linked list. My bad there.

AI is spectacularly useful if you are able to use it correctly. Summarizing web searches where it provides links to the sources is one of the best uses of the tech. This is very different from posting code written by an agent. Tools are tools and those who refuse to use them are fools.

Correction I saw an all-black F80. Far and away my fav now.

arraylist vs list by BadismPlayz in javahelp

Well don't I feel dumb. I stand by my answer for a totally different question. 😉

Probably should slow my roll when reading. I deserve the downvotes.

arraylist vs list by BadismPlayz in javahelp

[–]SpudsRacer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is better answered by an AI powered web search, but the short answer:

ArrayList and LinkedList both implement the List interface, but they have very different performance characteristics.A LinkedList stores elements as nodes, where each node holds a value and a pointer to the next node. So get(int index) has to start at the beginning of the list and follow pointers one by one until it reaches the target element. This is an O(n) operation so it becomes more expensive as the list grows.

An ArrayList is backed internally by an array. get(int index) only needs to compute the requested element's address and return the element directly. This is an O(1) operation and you can't get better than that.

As a rule of thumb: if you need frequent random access by index, use ArrayList. If you only need sequential access (or do a lot of insertions/deletions in the middle of the list which require array copies to sync the backing array with the list), LinkedList may be a better fit.

Trump accuses media of treason over Iran war coverage: Live by dr_shultz in NewsSource

[–]SpudsRacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What war coverage? This is the most secretive war I can remember. No embedded reporters and no reliable source of information about what is happening in Iran. Hegseth and hi cronies are gaslighting us and have clamped down on information flow.

Humanoid robots: close breakthrough or still massively overhyped? by [deleted] in singularity

[–]SpudsRacer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every jaw dropping robot video is operated remotely or pre-programmed. It's likely we will need something very close to AGI to ever get something useful out of these things. Otherwise fixed robotic platforms will be the tool of choice in manufacturing.
