And now Russia plays… Steven Seagal.

Time to play meedley-meedley on the thin strings and small frets.

He will sit so hard.

Love the Wololo.

They’re his people.

Are you sure you didn’t set low-detail with the viewport cranked way down? I played it on the same model with a math co-processor and it could not handle high-detail and the large viewport in the video.

Edit: I’m fairly certain I had a math co-processor, but I’ll defer to you on this detail just in case. That would certainly make a sizeable difference.

40MHz is plenty for doom.

Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:

Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC

486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:

Doom Timedemo - 486DX2/66MHz

Edit: grammar

Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.

Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.

That’s all Adam Carolla, baby.

He hates ‘fair share’ rhetoric, and boy does he go off about it.

He got a star for makin’ poopy.

“This engine is woke.”

And it was a proper Warehouse successor, too.

My two favorite maps.

Trying to break that million point grind.

Damn, that was 25 years ago.

I am concerned about the energy abuse of LLMs, but it gets worse. AGI is right around the corner, and I fear that law of diminishing return may not apply due to advantages it will bring. We’re in need of new, sustainable energy like nuclear now because it will not stop.

Thanks, I’ll re-listen and edit. I certainly don’t want to cast an unwarranted aspergion.

Edit: You’re absolutely correct, the dialog required careful attention. I’ll fix my post.

Would you kindly find a source for that?

I can personally speak from the 80s, so that’s not exactly a golden age of reliable information. There was concern about scale of infinite growth and power requirements in a perpetual 24/7 full-load timeshare by people that were almost certainly not qualified to talk about the subject.

I was never concerned enough to look into it, but I sure remember the FUD: “They are going to grow to the size of countries!” - “They are going to drink our oceans dry!” … Like I said, unqualified people.

Another factor is that there aren’t that many supercomputers in the world, a handful of thousand of them.

They never took off like the concerned feared. We don’t even concern ourselves with their existence.

Edit: grammar

While I absolutely agree with everything you’ve stated, I’m not taking a moral position here. I’m just positing that the same arguments of concern have been on the table since the establishment of massive computational power regardless of how, or by whom, it was to be utilized.

Supercomputers were feared to be untenable resource consumers then, too.

Utilizing nuclear to feed AI may be the responsible and sustainable option, but there’s a lot of FUD surrounding all of these things.

One thing is certain: Humans (and now AI) will continue to advance technology, regardless of consequence.

The forefront of technology overutilizes resources?

Always has been.

Edit: Supercomputers have existed for 60 years.

I think it’s bullshit, too.

It’s a bit strange for her to make a definitive statement this late. Why now?

Edit: Joy Reid was referring to Palestinian babies. I corrected my OP.

Joy Reid of MSNBC went on record yesterday saying she finally saw the actual beheaded Israeli Palestinian baby photos from October 7th. Is there anything substantiated with this?

I’ll see if I can find the program and block.

Edit: Found it — The ReidOut - Podcast - May 28, 2024 @~28m23s

Edit 2: I got the context wrong. Thanks @[email protected] for the correction.

I got the game bundled with a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 kit and played it before, during, and after 9/11, and was blown away by the coincidences that appeared eerily prescient during this time.

The game came out in 2000 btw.

And the last official patch was…

…176 days before 9/11. Crazy foresight.
