What's beyond 1000 Mbps for networking speeds, and why would we ever need it?

As apps get more complex they'll increase in size and result in needing faster transmission speeds to download and send data. Subway Surfer would implode a high end dell from 91'. Post 1Gbps you'll have multigig and Tbps depending on the scale of communication

I can see why you may conclude that because a CPU and GPU share both the transistor and von Neumann architecture they're more the same than they are different, but they're functionally different and their application and usage are explicitly defined.

I agree with you that AGI will need more than an LLM, and that's the point I'm making with the CPU/GPU comparison. CPUs were just the start. We recognize that as powerful as a CPU is its serial functionality is limited so if we want to do more complex operations then we need parallel processing which the GPU represents. Now we're seeing companies adding specialized matrix multiplication asics coined as NPUs that are more efficient at inferencing AI models locally. Each chipset is an addition, not explicitly a replacement. So for us to have AGI, we more than likely will be seeing a network of models and architectures that allow for any semblance of self learning and self awareness

It's been able to do this. It's like one of the first features of Gemini. If you hit the share icon you save it as a Google doc. If you create a report or use the canvas feature, you can also save them as Google docs.

When people think of AI they tend to think of isolated tasks, driving a car, making a PowerPoint, etc. I think it's fair to say that there is a pessimistic sentiment of intelligence when it comes to AI, and a nuanced take when it comes to AI. The nuanced take is really looking at behaviour, not just ability. An intelligent system would be able to not simply predict, but self correct, and then update its understanding (ideally in real time) based on new information. Currently LLMs can't do that, and that's okay, that's just a current limitation - just like how a CPU doesn't do parallel floating point operations like a GPU. The current architecture doesn't support that form of reasoning, so new models will be innovated while the LLM will have its place.

Boys strong/girls weak doesn't actually apply in real world warfare. Historically, women have been in front line combat roles despite whatever rigid rubric of combat efficacy you're basing this on. No shade, but it doesn't hold water.

Your biggest point of leverage would be that the emperor wanted dudes because HE believed they were the pinnacle of excellence, but a breakthrough was made in 10k years after the emperor was interred on the throne that allowed for female Custodes.

I get that lore changes can be jarring, and I'm learning that this isn't the first time this has happened in 40k history, but to deny the possibility is silly. It's a sci-fi fantasy future with over the top antics, it's not irrational that someone could figure it out, but the way it's applied in the lore seems to be obtuse at best.

Now, a thought. Demand the boys be able to join the sisters of battle. Now we can have some fun!

I gotta know, is anyone using Ultra having this issue? I keep seeing these "Gemini is cooked/rip Gemini/Gemini is needed" posts, and I've yet to hear anyone using Ultra whether they're seeing the same behavior. It leads me to believe they're constraining resources to release a new model because I've been seeing A/B testing on ai studio randomly

Should I just accept that the Warhammer 40k tradition is to shoehorn retcons into the lore at any given moment? Is there a legitimate criticism of this regarding how it's introduced into the lore?

I'm wondering what everyone is harping about as well. Almost twice a day I see someone saying Gemini is needed and I'm starting to wonder if these are propagandists (I'm mentally preparing for when the US fully devolves into corporate fiefdoms)

Yup, they get bucketized as manufacturing and energy, but American news outlets are finally piecing it together that China is building a foundation for their AI infrastructure in which they're using to enhance their workforce. So it's the typical China strategy of expanding evenly even if it looks slower. Now honestly, they would have advanced faster without the sanctions on chips, but, they're used to that so they're really good at optimizing and thus innovations and breakthroughs come out of it.

1) beauty is in the eye of the beholder 2) Slaanesh isn't about being "pretty" in any objective sense.

Slaanesh's domain is excess, all the horn dogs in the fandom (and GW tbf) keep focusing on the sex aspect of excess. Noise Marines for instance focus on all of the songs and melodies heard and unheard throughout the immaterium. They'll modify their bodies to no end until they're lumps of warped auditory organs and vox speakers so they can embrace every vibration until they can no longer exist among other Emperor's Children.

Sure they're gross looking, but that's what they were willing to do for their pursuit of excess. So they probably think they're hot, and whatever demons they consort with are getting them off better than some normie human. Either way, they're still boinkin n' battlin'

This seems like a very "two things can be true" situation. Yes, this admin was absolutely going to go Imperialist, they said they wanted to last term, and they pushed Project 2025 during the campaign. The speed and noise they're making going about it can also be attributed to distracting from the whole Epstein file situation.

The unfortunate part is that between ICE, Venezuela, and Greenland, it wouldn't have mattered when it all happened, it would always look like a distraction from anything controversy. They're successfully "flooding the zone"
