The not being available on any boggled my mind every time. There’s several shows I’ve wanted to watch that just straight up don’t exist anywhere anymore. Like I’m willing to give you money for a month or two so I can watch them or just rent but I can’t. It’s so crazy

I think it’s more “technically nothing stopping you from making it happen”. I can’t find anywhere where it’s actually implemented because it really is a bad idea, molasses might flow up hill quicker in winter than a GPU would run using swap files

I avoid the nitty gritty because I’m a software guy but as far as I know nothing is inherently stopping the computer from using the hard drive as extremely slow RAM even for the GPU. I mean we already have page and swap files, might need to be implemented, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be technically done.

Because people have to spend more time maintaining The Sex Machine then using it

To answer the second. Nvidia today announced the $100,000,000,000 investment in OpenAI. On the face of it because AI is coming and this will secure them a larger chunk of the pie.

In reality, it’s probably a grift so OpenAI can go to other investors and say “look, we’re getting so much money, get on board or miss out” and then buy even more Nvidia product with even more investor money to keep the circle going.

Not give, but signed a $300 billion deal to purchase cloud compute power from them, which will be filled with Nvidia cards.

Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.

We need more good AMD options dangit, not just NVIDIA

I dunno, the whole body transmutation thing and the Lazarus thing? I think there’s an argument to be made he was necromancer or lich.

Some of us are very happy with our current headphones and don’t want new ones. Plus as others said the charging thing.

It’s recent on a relative scale but ancient news in the technology world. They’ve been disappearing since Apple started it in like 2016.
