I agree with the other comments, but wanted to add how deepfakes work to show how simple they are, and how much less information they need than LLMs.

Step 1: Basically you take a bunch of photos and videos of a specific person, and blur their faces out.

Step 2: This is the hardest step, but still totally feasable for a decent home computer. You train a neural network to un-blur all the faces for that person. Now you have a neural net that’s really good at turning blurry faces into that particular person’s face.

Step 3: Blur the faces in photos/videos of other people and apply your special neural network. It will turn all the blurry faces into the only face it knows how, often with shockingly realistic results.

Second this!

Oo! What series?

oof my brain. it’s rotting

I still just don’t understand why the US is doing this. What do they gain from Israel killing everyone within arms reach?

5 out of 10 😭

Oh that makes sense, I suppose. Thank you for informing me!

also since when do you need to sign paperwork to consent to being deported?

he also likes to eat roadkill and would play in fields of rotting cow corpses as a child (I wish I was making this shit up)

I wish every republican a very pleasant go die now

I don’t think anti-authoritarian can be there at the same time as North Korea

iunno ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Redundancy is nice in the event of bitflip errors

same thing by transitive property

Based on this pin configuration, there’s only two dedicated power pins, which isn’t very good for large wattages. The rest are twinax signal pairs separated by ground to reduce crosstalk.

Usually when connectors are designed for power delivery, they’ll use bigger contacts to reduce the contact resistance (signal contacts tend to be small so you can fit more of them in the same space). I’m guessing the original DP connector form factor wasn’t made with such high power in mind, so it would make a lot of sense to use the spare signal pins for power delivery in this case. Running too much power through too few small pins can damage the contacts, by either by instant-welding the contact surfaces or by overheating the connector (see NVIDIA GPUs) ((also high voltages can cause arcing, which even in the best case will seriously degrade any connector)).

Take all of this with a huge grain of salt cause I just learned this stuff like a month ago, and my department has nothing to do with any of it. Just though someone might find it interesting.

Hi! I actually work at a major electrical connector company, so maybe I can shed some light on this.

I have no idea.

That’s a lot of power! Are there even any devices that use this?

Tech guy invents the concept of giving instructions

I used to not understand them, but learning how their internal mechanism functions has helped a lot. Now I can just visualize what’s happening inside the infernal contraption
