Who needs a fucking girlfriend if you have a supercomputer? What, you wanna have a conversation about feelings and how you never wanna go to a restaurant? That is somehow preferable to investigating mathematics and physics with a machine that requires its own power generator?
Motherfuckers get divorced because they ignore their ladies for the sake of and this happens with these tiny computers, computers that you can just plug into a wall in a regular house. This machine is enough to get you unlimited grad student blowjobs, anyway. doing_science.jpg
@not_br549 Sure, they can copy the instruction set, but without doing everything Intel does the performance would be subpar — and again, would make little sense. Long Dong is just my way of mocking it, it's Loongson actually 😂 Basically it's 64-bit MIPS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson But as much as I'm into marginal CPU architectures, I've never seen this stuff being popular even in these circles.
I don't really know -- just figured they could copy the instruction set, without duplicating every little jot and tiddle. So much of our consumer stuff is made in China, they must have some specifications.
What is this 'Long Dong' stuff? I have never heard of it.
@not_br549@dcc@j@pwm@p@0@syzygy@sun@threat I don't think it's feasible to copy Intel at this point, it's hardly as easy as clicking fingers, it's got too complex, would take very competent people to figure out how everything works — but it also makes very little sense, considering having competent people it won't take that long to port everything to any architecture you want. They could've embraced RISC-V, gave such systems a boost and them start benefitting from what the community itself does with it. They could make people want these computers voluntarily — so no one ever has to rely on backdoors in Intel CPUs, whether those are real or not. But that's not what they do at all — instead they do this stupid Long Dong shit, that no one wants outside of China :cirno_shrug:
@p If you can run a consultant on 100 trillion calculations per second and hire him out for $200 an hour (pretty standard stuff) that DGX Station can spin up $768,000 a month and with that you can buy as many girlfrens or wives as you can handle.
I’m still mad I can’t use control characters in my passwords
As for the length a fun game to play is generate a massive password, set it, and then start trimming characters from the end. Some websites (iirc fb did this at one point years ago) will truncate your passwords without telling you.
My favorite instance of it was when I was in college I realized that the centos login would only read the first 8 characters and wouldn’t fail if you just put in your password + a lot of other shit. These systems were the same that the sysadmins used so it was quite a “yikes” moment
