XML aims to be both human-readable and machine-readable, but manages neither. It’s only really worth it if you actually need the complexity or extensibility, otherwise it’s just a major pain to map XML structures to any sensible type representation. I’ve been forced to work with some of the protocols that people like to present as examples of good XML usage and I hate every single one of them.

Fuck YAML though. That spec is longer and more complex than any other markup language I know of and it doesn’t have a single fully compliant implementation.

I feel like this was a trend started by video game journalists in the first place.

It would certainly help if the GitHub code search wasn’t utter garbage.

The whole premise of this discussion was about technological progress and growth going by your initial comment. That means refining existing models and training new ones, which is going to cost a lot of energy. The way this industry is going, even privacy conscious usage of open source models will contribute to the insane energy usage by creating demand and popularizing the technology.

Do we really need to grow our energy consumption as a society by such a disproportionate amount?

Is there a source for these haughty, cackling archeologists making fun of hairdressers or is that just to manufacture some kind of underdog victory scenario?

It’s always been a “whole ass computer”, not some kind of simple storage device.

I haven’t used TypeScript in a classically OOP way and it never felt like I was being urged to do so either.

Consider what trace minerals actually means, then think about the tiny amounts of salt used for cooking.

I’ve been hating on the raw food movement for much longer than lemmy even existed. Drinking raw milk is especially stupid.

The snail has been taken over by parasitic flatworms that control it to seek out exposed spots and pulsate inside of their eye stalks to get eaten by a bird and enter the next stage of their life cycle, which they spend by living in the birds cloaca and spreading their eggs via feces.

It’s a phoronix article, there’s never more than two paragraphs and a quote in there anyway.

I’m not trying to draw parallels, I’m literally talking about the likelyhood of getting stabbed in a dark park. How does domestic violence factor into that scenario? On the other hand, I wonder how underreported domestic violence cases are compared between genders.

Getting stabbed in a dark park seems like a pretty universal fear that isn’t determined by your gender. Most people getting stabbed are men, if we just go by homicide statistics.

I know. I’m not saying that this is a sound decision, just that quote doesn’t really represent the current situation.

You obviously need an AV1 hardware decoder to do hardware decoding of AV1. The GPUs you listed are the only ones with a builtin AV1 hardware decoder on the PC, though that list is also out of date. There are also multiple smartphone SoCs from Mediatek and Qualcomm that have an integrated AV1 hardware decoder. This is also not in any way an indicator for the level of hardware needed to do software decoding of AV1.

None of what I said implied anything else.

I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.

What are you trying to say?

No, like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_type

Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.

Peak reddit conversation.
