I never understood the point of Bitnami. Every time I tried one of their image / package, it's a complicated mess full of custom and strange stuff, really hard to work with.

Instead of a simple package of the software based on some familiar base, you get some weird enterprise garbage that follows strange conventions and a nightmare when you need to customize anything.

This won't stop any app store spammers, if they can spam the app store it's no problem for them to get 20 fake devices and bypass this. Again it's the genuine indie developers getting punished.

Apple was able to break the CUDA lock-in with their Metal computing api (MPS), in no time at all. Within months, now the major AI libraries like Pytorch and Tensorflow all support Apple GPU without a hitch.

What's taking AMD so long? They just can't do software I guess?

7B params would take 14gb of gpu RAM at fp16 precision. So it would be able to run on 16gb GPUs with 2gb to spare for other small things.

Trying to understand how the 86 billions of neurons in humans achieve consciousness is like trying to understand how the billions of weights in ChatGPT interact with each other.

Basically impossible impossibility. For a system which derives its behavior from complex interactions between those billion components, you can only understand its origins how it was tuned, and some high-level concepts of its workings. (Which we already achieved both for human brain and ANN).

Not sure what the neuroscientists are even researching at this point, has there been any major findings from neuroscience in the last 10 years? (With similar kind of impact as Transformers in 2017?)

Was excited for a moment, thought it was related to this https://worldmodels.github.io/.

World models are meant to be for simulating environments. If this was something like testing if a game agent with llm can form thoughts as it play through some game it would be very interesting. Maybe someone on HN can do this?

Yeah Godot editor is snappy and smooth, unlike Unity and Unreal. However Godot's 3D and physics implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Not sure if Godot 4 solves those issues.

Dude database is supposed to be on disk not RAM.

True, 90% of doctor diagnosis are garbage and maybe even worse than ChatGPT. The 10% is for when you have a visible problem that can be cured with a surgery, they are pretty good at that. A doctor with GPT-4 could be way better than one without.

Some apps chose to distribute with snaps first, past and present. And without snaps they might've pushed a more unified or better experience with something better.

Canonical has money to do lots of good, too bad they waste it on terrible engineers and terrible projects.

Wow they're still pushing snaps, the project with some the worst engineering I've ever seen.

- Extremely slow at doing anything, even the most basic commands.

- Ridiculous auto-update mechanism (you can't even disable it wtf).

- Random, nonsense limitations (why can't I open dot files and dot directories???).

So terrible that for most apps that I installed with snaps I end up installing the deb version later on.

What an abomination, it is a devil that's hurting the Linux desktop everyday.
