It did. I didn't stay on last night stream long enough to see the announcement. As soon as it hit 22:00 WIB and said happy birthday, I just went directly to sleep

She grew up in Manhattan. She now lives inside a hill, a limestone boulder hollowed out over centuries, with 400 km of old quarries turned into homes.
Since she moved to Bourré, Thea Carini has restored 4 troglodyte homes, one after another, all carved into the same hillside. ↓

For 20 years, Anders Solvarm dreamed of a self-feeding solar house, framed in timber (treated with vinegar so it won't rot) instead of metal.
His A-frame greenhouse home is a full-cycle indoor homestead. It pushes what "off-grid" can mean in a climate as harsh as Sweden's. ↓

IN WHAT WORLD is it acceptable to ask firefighters, rescue teams and emergency health workers to face escalating climate disasters with broken budgets, missing gear and fewer staff, while oil and gas corporations pocket tens of BILLIONS?
Make polluters PAY: fund rescue crews and emergency systems, protect communities, and phase out fossil fuels as fast and fairly as possible to stave off even more climate chaos.

@coolboymew mpeg4 and later does look substantially better than mpeg2 at the same bitrate but they're definitely cheaping out and on browser you can tell you're not getting what you paid for

@sneeden if the model solved it because mathematicians used the previous model to solve it then it's still murky if humans or the model were responsible. not defending them here but it wouldn't be a story if the mathematicians weren't using the model for help

cool_boy_mew@coolboymew@shitposter.world (2026-09-09 08:01:25)
@sun wouldn't be surprised
Just imagine the requirements man. If you game on it for 7 hours, it's not just a video file, so no buffering, this has to be video delivered perfectly for hours on end with no hiccups from any side or else that will cause lag and dropped input, for hours on end
It just sounds crazy

@coolboymew incidentally it seems that people have tested streaming services and in most cases no matter what quality you want, the bitrate is no better than a DVD from 1998.

@unusnemo @kaia @coolboymew to be clear I'm not saying it happened anymore, it probably didn't like I originally speculated. but the specialized AI GPU hardware would support it just fine since you can do the stuff the AI GPU is missing, in other parts of the datacenter.

@sun depends where you live, plenty of places with randomly abysmal connection, especially if there's no competitors around, making this functioning, which needs to be more perfect than streaming because of button input, and you can't just solve the issue with "content servers" either, it's just not worth it
Plus, if I'm streaming, I'd want everything maxed out at 4K or else there's no point

I mean, to be fair to the tech industry, if you had invested $1.5 trillion in me over the last three years, I also probably would’ve failed to produce AGI and committed a bunch of crimes.

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/117230983938174038
I think it's extremely damning that even Tao, who is very involved with OpenAI, recognises this for what it is: a false promise, a contribution to mathematics which leads to dead-ends in our theories and understanding, a company using unsolved conjectures as a resource to fuel their stock prices while providing little to no value back to the field of mathematics.
I hope that in the next couple years we as mathematicians seriously reconsider our current system where theorems proven/disproven are the primary social currency of mathematics, because these LLMs are hijacking these incentives in ways that are very damaging to us.
As an early-career researcher it's hard to not want to jump ship right now. I started doing mathematics very young and I have never loved something like I love maths, but all of the recent news makes me wonder whether it's actually a good idea to continue doing math.
Almost every single PhD student I have talked to is doubting whether they have a future with the current situation, and I hope we can figure things out before the current generation of mathematicians PhDs arrive into a world of maths that has been mined out and left barren by AI companies pumping more speculative value into their bubble.

@sun
Actually no, it did not work that way. Data Centers have no always had GPUs. A small scientific research server farm may have for research though that is not a Data Center and is not meant for public use and they would have had no GPU cycles to sell due to their research needs.
Data Centers started having GPUs for web gaming and then LLMs. Most Data Centers did not support this feature. So selling off unused GPU time is not a likely scenario.
@kaia
Streaming does not require a GPU. Video editing can be enhanced by it and so can gaming. Though the streaming of a game being played is not something you would use a GPU for. GPU are for intensive math function beyond what CPUs are designed to handle. There is nothing in streaming video that really demands this resource. You can test this by using VLC to stream a video to another computer on your network and see that the serving computer does not start using a lot of GPU resources when the streaming begins.

@coolboymew yeah if you're not in a brand new neighborhood your ISP is overprovisioning your Internet
Reply to @coolboymew@shitposter.world
Blurry Moon@sun@shitposter.world (2026-09-09 07:41:23)
@coolboymew @kaia it's perfectly feasible because even though it's optimized for math crunching, at datacenter scale you can rasterize using your latent cpu and video encoding is already done separately using accelerators. Stadia died just as AI was taking off, the timing is right to close shop when there was no more idle GPUs because of AI demand, but I can't prove that actually happened.

cool_boy_mew@coolboymew@shitposter.world (2026-09-09 07:31:27)
@sun never bothered because for so long I had a bandwidth limit and this was entirely wasteful
Kept hearing extremely so-so stuff, it works for some people, it never does for some. You probably have to have very high speeds, very stable Internet and a good location close to servers, which at that point you can probably just afford the hardware yourself anyways if you have the extra high speed
I would never personally bother with it because something this sensitive that can get fucked anytime your neighbors decides to watch netflix too much is untenable. Most ISP would absolutely blow up if everyone used their connection to the max and if it ever gets widespread we are entirely fucked because the price will increase to hell, the service quality will decrease and nobody will be able to play properly
