That’s what an LLM is, a database of words using vectors.
You’re still limited by the context window in your example, giving it another source of information doesn’t do anything than give more context.

Amazing what you can do to protect yourself
Like one, don’t give your information to the machine
- Comment on How the Iran war could derail the AI boom 1 week ago:
TSMC has their infra rigged to blow. Naive to think they’d let the Chinese have it

Semantics
Privacy is a human right and I have a choice to who an d which third party collects my data. My own computer with software I build myself doesn’t need mandated age gates.

Valve bought Campo Santo and Valley of the Gods got out on Valve Time.
They don’t make games like this because the people got put into other projects.

- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t consider it low end, early benchmarks put it in the range of M1 which surpasses Intels N-Series.
IMO it’s the perfect typewriter/frontline worker machine when personal computing is getting more expensive by the day
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 3 weeks ago:
It’s an iPhone 16 with a MacBook shell

- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 1 month ago:
Been looking at their Arc B50/B60 but still too expensive in Canada
- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 1 month ago:
TSMC is how they stay competitive; that’s what everyone else uses
Intel is still catching up with 18A
The 18A production node itself is designed to prove that Intel can not only create a compelling CPU architecture but also manufacture it internally on a technology node competitive with TSMC’s best offerings.
- Comment on Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images - even when told subjects didn’t consent 1 month ago:
It can’t, it’s software that needs a governing body to dictate the rules.
- Comment on Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images - even when told subjects didn’t consent 1 month ago:
That’s the point, there has to be a human in the loop that sets explicit guard rails
- Comment on Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images - even when told subjects didn’t consent 1 month ago:
It’s not an excuse, it doesn’t think or reason.
Unless the software owner sets the governing guardrails it cannot act or present or redact in the way a human can.

Awesome project, was fun watching some of the development of this
- Comment on Days after killing the brand, Crucial shows up at Delhi Comic-Con — As Micron pivots to AI, Crucial's presence likely booked out months in advance to event 2 months ago:
There are three, soon to be two DRAM manufacturers for consumers. What other reason other than the one they’ve publicly stated.
The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage.

Micron HBM is key to Nvidias initiatives
NVIDIA plans to integrate these memory modules into its upcoming Rubin-Vera AI accelerators in the second half of 2026.

That’s exactly it. If you’re trusting Elon with the future of work you really should evaluate your position, and whether that anime pfp is doing you any favours

these companies know what they’re doing
AGI is right around the corner
Shouldn’t be surprised that anime profile pic couldn’t believe they’re being lied to on the internet.

Peripherals and IO will do that. Cores pulling 5-6W while IO die pulls 6-10W
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 3 months ago:
HBM is what’s used for enterprise AI hardware, and not at all used in the consumer space, at least in recent years
The problem is you need RAM for the OS/General Purpose parts which share the same manufacturing lines as consumer stuff.
On top of all of this, memory companies just aren’t going to prioritize consumers when billions of dollars are coming from Enterprise AI

Remember to do this on a machine you don’t care about, or are prepared for Windows to no longer work. Windows doesn’t play nice with other operating systems.

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 months ago:
I think this is the goal that it would be priced competitively with the Pro or higher end consoles
They’ve built an ecosystem that gives you that console experience and if you really want to use it as a PC then you can.
The whole thing screams high quality experience for those that want it to just work or those that want to tinker
They really know their audience
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 months ago:
So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc
The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.
You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony
Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3

The Ukraine military has been using steam decks on the front line Do you really think it’s affected their bottom line?
