if Biden does some wild shit, it would create a precedent and make it OK for Trump to do it too.
How would Trump be able to do it if he’s dead?
Biden is above the law now, so he should just have Trump and the SC executed.
If it’s a machine used for business: corporate espionage.
Yes, there are massive advantages. It’s basically what makes unified memory possible on modern Macs. Especially with all the interest in AI nowadays, you really don’t want a machine with a discrete GPU/VRAM, a discrete NPU, etc.
Take for example a modern high-end PC with an RTX 4090. Those only have 24GB VRAM and that VRAM is only accessible through the (relatively slow) PCIe bus. AI models can get really big, and 24GB can be too little for the bigger models. You can spec an M2 Ultra with 192GB RAM and almost all of it is accessible by the GPU directly. Even better, the GPU can access that without any need for copying data back and forth over the PCIe bus, so literally 0 overhead.
The advantages of this multiply when you have more dedicated silicon. For example: if you have an NPU, that can use the same memory pool and access the same shared data as the CPU and GPU with no overhead. The M series also have dedicated video encoder/decoder hardware, which again can access the unified memory with zero overhead.
For example: you could have an application that replaces the background on a video using AI. It takes a video, decompresses it using the video decoder , the decompressed video frames are immediately available to all other components. The GPU can then be used to pre-process the frames, the NPU can use the processed frames as input to some AI model and generate a new frame and the video encoder can immediately access that result and compress it into a new video file.
The overhead of just copying data for such an operation on a system with non-unified memory would be huge. That’s why I think that the AI revolution is going to be one of the driving factors in killing systems with non-unified memory architectures, at least for end-user devices.
He also sustained himself by collecting and eating berries, he said.
Wow, that’s so smart; sustaining himself by eating food.
Wouldn’t it be easier to budget for a whole month on low pay, especially since bills are monthly.
Paycheck comes in -> Pay all bills for that month -> whatever is left you can spend that month.
That seems very inconvenient if paychecks aren’t monthly.
Do bills also come twice a month? Like, do you pay your rent, mortgage insurance, internet, tv, cell phone, etc. every two weeks?
No it doesn’t. All it will do is get them into an even shittier situation.
Take for example debt bondage in India. Give a person in debt bondage a gun, what should they do with it, according to you?
It’s true though.
There are many forms of modern day slavery and the vast majority is not due to an inability of the enslaved people to exert violence onto their slavers.
That’s an extremely simplistic view of a very complicated problem.
To add to this: Apple is actively working with Google and the GSMA to add E2EE to the RCS standard. Apple can no do this on their own, as RCS is a standard set by the GSMA. They need to go through the entire slow and bureaucratic process to add a feature to RCS, so while this will appear eventually I wouldn’t hold my breath.
This also shows exactly why something like RCS cannot ever offer anything other than the bare basic messaging functionality. You cannot innovate on RCS because every change needs to go through a committee who’s all want to have a say in it and before you know it you’re spending years in committee meetings to add a single feature.
Meanwhile, Apple decides they want to add a feature to iMessage, they roll it out in the next iOS update and it’s available to billions of users pretty much overnight.
Then what are you trying to say? I’m still not seeing how you bringing up slavery is at all relevant to the discussion.
You seriously think that the cause of modern day slavery is lack of guns?
Maybe you should call the UN and let them know you figured out the solution to the slavery problem.
Same, also autistic. There are very few people I don’t dislike touching me.
It also depends where people touch me. Shake my hand: that’s okay; touching my head/hair, big no. Haircuts are super uncomfortable.
I’m not sure how it’s relevant to this discussion. Are you some kind of vigilante who needs a gun to free slaves?
All of those things are because there are way more humans today than ever in absolute numbers. The percentage of people who die a violent death has never been as low as it is now, and that includes people dying in war.
So enlighten me.
How many people do you need to kill in self defence, in an average week?
