Captain Obvious would like to chime in: (sorry 😅)

Every color that we see is created by different types of receptors being stimulated together. A linear combination of three of these types. Arguably there isn't really a wavelength that only stimulates one type of receptor exclusively as their absorbtion areas overlap - so it isn't even that precise to call one receptor the "green" receptor as it sees a continuum of wavelength (of which a lot are also detected by the (so-called) "red" receptor.

It's a little egg-and-hen-problem with the naming here.a way out of it would be to only speak about spectra if it's in the physical realm and color of its in the percetral realm.

There's even the next iteration already happening: Cerebras is maling wafer-scale chipa with integrated SRAM. If you want to have the highest memory-bandwith to your cpu core it has to lay exactly next to it ON the chip.

Ultimately RAM and processor will probably be indistinguishable with the human eye.

How big are your hands???

AI in general is a shitty term. It's mostly PR. The Term "Intelligence" is very fuzzy and difficult to define - especially for people who are not in the field of machine learning.

Well in a way all Art is being done indirectly by some sort of instrument. Only the degree of sophistication or degree of separation of this instrument is different. A pencil drawing is in principle also done by the pencil, but I provided a lot of guidance through my hand. A pencil - almost no sophistication - is on one side of the spectrum and Midjourney/Stable Diffusion etc is on the other side of the spectrum.

I don't want to judge AI "art" in general - there's so many awful traditional artworks that AI art doesn't really stand out.

What rubs me the wrong way is that it is a tool that no human can understand reasonably well. Everybody can understand a pencil. It's possible to understand a computer renderer that renders digital art. But no one can understand the totality of an LLM which was trained on terabytes of images. It's a lot of trial and error, because what the tool does generate random images even with precise directions. It's throwing dice until one likes the result.

The one thing I give this "artist" credit for: he was very early (maye even the first?) that entered AI art into a contest and fooled the jury. Being the first is often enough historically to make "great art". Where art is more measured n the impact it has on a societal discussion. So I give him that.

But a court already decided you can't copyright AI art, because it's trained on other art without permission. So he can get fucked.

Maybe you can dip your toes into using lineage os or graphene os?

Everybody has to support the new new underdog Intel.

Yes

... for now.

 

Hi, I've got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn't start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but everything was extremely slow.

I've used Gnome for a long time, but I know that there are a lot of other window managers out there. I would like to have one that avoids graphical gimmickry in order to be fast. (I like some nice little graphical details, but only if it's still running buttery smooth).

If you have some tips that would be very nice!

EDIT: thank you for all the recommendations I'll try out a few!
