There's a lot more implication to her reaction when you hear the question she was asked.

The parent wasn't looking for an explanation.

They were commenting on how hard your wetware bricked.

not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging

You just defined shitposting, my guy.

Are you sure you didn't set low-detail with the viewport cranked way down? I played it on the same model ~~with a math co-processor~~ and it could not handle high-detail and the large viewport in the video.

Edit: I'm fairly certain I had a math co-processor, but I'll defer to you on this detail just in case. That would certainly make a sizeable difference.

40MHz is plenty for doom.

Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:

Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC

486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:

Doom Timedemo - 486DX2/66MHz

Edit: grammar

Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.

Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.

And it was a proper Warehouse successor, too.

Trying to break that million point grind.

Damn, that was 25 years ago.

I am concerned about the energy abuse of LLMs, but it gets worse. AGI is right around the corner, and I fear that law of diminishing return may not apply due to advantages it will bring. We're in need of new, sustainable energy like nuclear now because it will not stop.

Thanks, I'll re-listen and edit. I certainly don't want to cast an unwarranted aspergion.

Edit: You're absolutely correct, the dialog required careful attention. I'll fix my post.

Would you kindly find a source for that?

I can personally speak from the 80s, so that's not exactly a golden age of reliable information. There was concern about scale of infinite growth and power requirements in a perpetual 24/7 full-load timeshare by people that were almost certainly not qualified to talk about the subject.

I was never concerned enough to look into it, but I sure remember the FUD: "They are going to grow to the size of countries!" - "They are going to drink our oceans dry!" ... Like I said, unqualified people.

Another factor is that there aren't that many supercomputers in the world, a handful of thousand of them.

They never took off like the concerned feared. We don't even concern ourselves with their existence.
