<p>I never understood the point of Bitnami. Every time I tried one of their image / package, it's a complicated mess full of custom and strange stuff, really hard to work with.<p>Instead of a simple package of the software based on some familiar base, you get some weird enterprise garbage that follows strange conventions and a nightmare when you need to customize anything.</p>

<p>Apple was able to break the CUDA lock-in with their Metal computing api (MPS), in no time at all. Within months, now the major AI libraries like Pytorch and Tensorflow all support Apple GPU without a hitch.<p>What's taking AMD so long? They just can't do software I guess?</p>

<p>Trying to understand how the 86 billions of neurons in humans achieve consciousness is like trying to understand how the billions of weights in ChatGPT interact with each other.<p>Basically impossible impossibility. For a system which derives its behavior from complex interactions between those billion components, you can only understand its origins how it was tuned, and some high-level concepts of its workings. (Which we already achieved both for human brain and ANN).<p>Not sure what the neuroscientists are even researching at this point, has there been any major findings from neuroscience in the last 10 years? (With similar kind of impact as Transformers in 2017?)</p>

If this was something like testing if a game agent with llm can form thoughts as it play through some game it would be very interesting. Maybe someone on HN can do this?</p>

<p>Yeah Godot editor is snappy and smooth, unlike Unity and Unreal.
However Godot's 3D and physics implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Not sure if Godot 4 solves those issues.</p>

<p>True, 90% of doctor diagnosis are garbage and maybe even worse than ChatGPT. The 10% is for when you have a visible problem that can be cured with a surgery, they are pretty good at that.
A doctor with GPT-4 could be way better than one without.</p>

<p>Wow they're still pushing snaps, the project with some the worst engineering I've ever seen.<p>- Extremely slow at doing anything, even the most basic commands.<p>- Ridiculous auto-update mechanism (you can't even disable it wtf).<p>- Random, nonsense limitations (why can't I open dot files and dot directories???).<p>So terrible that for most apps that I installed with snaps I end up installing the deb version later on.<p>What an abomination, it is a devil that's hurting the Linux desktop everyday.</p>

<p>Except that the US government has Trillions to spend and they absolutely do not need Musk's wealth to do this.  
20 billions is nothing for the US government's budget, why don't they end homelessness? Again, a socio-political problem that money alone cannot solve.</p>

<p>Why are people even arguing about space travel vs solving poverty? Just imagine if all of Musk's wealth is seized by the US government, would that solve poverty or homelessness or even make a difference?
Obviously not, Musk's billions are barely a drop in a bucket. The US government printed and spent Trillions during the pandemic, and that barely made some people's life better.<p>Most of the problems that we're having on Earth, including poverty, homelessness and climate change, are in fact socio-political problems and they can't be solved with any realistic amount of money. The only way to solve them is through either strong socio-political coordination or very advanced technology (AI, nuclear fusion etc.)</p>
