Third spruce tree on the left

#Canadian (sorry). Being kind, empathetic and supportive to others, #vaccines, #vegans and #LGBT+ are cool; convoys and racists and *phobes are not. Computer Engineer, #software #developer, #technical #writer, #translation manager, reformed project manager and #SCRUMmaster, dad and boyfriend.

I like video games, programming, baking and cooking. While Im not #vegan, LawyerGF is, so I'm vegan-ISH.

Yes, and outside of the techbrofluencers whose livelihoods depend on it being a success, it is being "accepted reluctantly, slowly, or not at all".
I have not heard - not once - anyone I know or work with go "oh man, <software> just added AI and its totes amazeballs and I like shifted SEVEN paradigms today Im so much more productive". At best, its "oh, Copilot helped me write this script faster".

But if you think of an AI engine as just another application you can run on a computer then running distributed cluster of AI nodes on physical servers or in a cluster of VMS makes little difference to the AI engine.
The BIG power consumer of AI engines is in the CPU and (more importantly) GPU power - AI models are a lot of math crunching which GPUs are very good at. But a big power draw. While virtualization adds a teeny overhead, its ~0 compared to base AI usage.

Running applications in a virtual machine (i.e. emulation of a computer and OS within another computer) technically requires a little more electricity due to the emulation and management overhead. But the flexibility virtualization gives you more than makes up for it. If your one server is at capacity you can scale quickly by taking a snapshot of that VM and starting up clone VMs (I'm over simplifying a bit).

I really liked Firefox (before Mozilla shit the bed) - but I spend too much of my work life in cloud applications that just crush Gecko (the Firefox engine). They crush Ffox because the developers of these apps don't test against Gecko and they don't test against Gecko because Ffox only has what 4% browser share and sinking?
Vivaldi for the win. Though, I hate the fact that there are only two browser engines out there. I can't help but feel we're setting ourselves up.

Here in Canada too.
_Usually_ they're right at one of the main entrances of a subdevelopment, so its not too bad you can stop by there on your way to/from work when you're already in your car. But yeah, far too many people drive their cars to get the mail.

I'm sure that $172 #Airpods working as hearing aids is/will be a good thing. But apart from that, every #Apple keynote / launch thingy I am reminded of this oldie:

OP's girlfriend used to date dude who is now a pro-athelete. OP plays a video game where you manage a spots team; OP bought/drafted/traded the virtual version of GF's ex IN the game and mis-managed him in the video game out of spite.

perfect! you can also turn it greek with some feta (which is easier to come by for the vegan half of our house) but it works with any white cheese, or no cheese at all.
