  But it’s 2⁵² addresses for each star in the observable universe. Or in other words, if every star in the observable universe has a planet in the habitable zone, each of them got 2²⁰ more IPs than there are IPv4 addresses.

  Just when you thought Nvidia couldn’t get worse, they praise Trump.

  How the hell are you confused when EA does something shitty?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ye but that would limit the use cases to very few. Most of the time you compress data to either transfer it to a different system or to store it for some time, in both cases you wouldn’t want to be limited to the exact same LLM. Which leaves us with almost no use case.

  I mean… cool research… kinda… but pretty useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok so the article is very vague about what’s actually done. But as I understand it the “understood content” is transmitted and the original data reconstructed from that.

  If that’s the case I’m highly skeptical about the “losslessness” or that the output is exactly the input.

  But there are more things to consider like de-/compression speed and compatibility. I would guess it’s pretty hard to reconstruct data with a different LLM or even a newer version of the same one, so you have to make sure you decompress your data done years later with a compatible LLM.

  And when it comes to speed I doubt it’s nearly as fast as using zlib (which is neither the fastest nor the best compressing…).

  And all that for a high risk of bricked data.

  Why would I need AI for that? We should really stop trying to slap AI on everything. Also no, I’m not that big of a fan of wasting energy on web crawlers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What efforts would it take to strip the name Americans from the folks inhabiting the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “americans” is a bad name but it’s more specific than “united statesians”. But I would fully support dissolving that country and founding a new one (or multiple) with a better name.

  I’ve been playing Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel recently on PC and despite being relatively action heavy it’s 99% left hand (WASD + Q + space)
