general

well you have 4 hours, but...

last time i did a bracket here i made one then forgot to ever look at it

i dont even know who won

I think it was mini

I went back to look, and it was the one we did on Twitter, so it seems to have been nuked as a feature at some point

but I think Mini won, then Pika

I don't recall being second, but I accept this as fact because you said it

apparently

none of us can remember for shit

lmao

Dialga superlost

damn

alright I'm in

BRASIL

Isn't Brazil really good? I thought one of those super guys that people talk about was from Brazil.

none of us know anything lol

I clearly don't know anything either haha

i've made a terrible mistake

how am i supposed to make an unbiased choice here?

Who would italy side with

sigh

its the same flag twice

france it is

you guys didn't pick very creative names for your brackets 😦

TinyBracket is very creative!

true

yeah fire why did you steal frances flag then rotate it counter clockwise, and then fade it out a little

Kribbles is very creative

technically the dutch flag was there first

and france came up with a similar looking flag all on their own

russia's flag, however, is straight up a copy of the dutch flag, as peter the great was a huge dutchaboo

I used my urealms live name for my account, I had to do something brand-aware-mo-bob so you'd know which bracket was mine and that I wasn't just some rando who walked into the bracket.

had a phijkchu dream that pika kicked everyone from any phijkxhu server he had admin in, but then he reinvited everyone to the notes server alongside a bunch of Randoms. I was trying to get access back to the rance book club channel but he was ignoring me and it made me angry so I wwnt to complain in the games server but I couldn't find it because somehow he deleted that one too.

I would never remove you from rance chat

that said, me somehow being the shadow ruler of gameschat would be funny

i wish i could rename my bracket 🙁

over......

You could be the scalper that buys bayblades

I am sure that would be much more annoying to deal with than pokemon cards

The weirdest part of having the betterdiscord plugin that allows me to see edited/deleted message is the fact that there's one guy in another server who just constantly edits his messages so every time I open up the channel, there's just a wall of text.

each edit is like 30 seconds apart

He edited it so many times and still has "a good friend of mines" smh my head

I actually just turned off the thing that shows edited messages in chat because of this one guy, so I no longer see them

(however, I was in this chat already, so I did see you)

Dang, I'm in trouble

Editmaxxing. Everyone puts in 1 message and edits it to speak and communicate

I wish the Discord text editor was faster with live-updating, there's a multi-second delay before it loads the spellcheck, which means often I will send before it shows me whatever horrible misspelling I made

but if I load the msg editor, it's instant

Yeah I see a lot of people edit messages with minor grammatical or spelling errors, but I don't think I've ever seen more than one edit, or at least not commonly, at least compared to this guy who does this with every message.

i try to type too fast and then don't double check so i end up making spelling mistakes a lot

The spell checker is weird yeah. It's delayed a bit. And when you type again, all red squiggles disappear until you wait.

thank God it's not just me Kribbles

and then sometimes it will mark valid words red

with how scuffed my setup is sometimes

I just assume I'm the only person on Earth with some of these

Your messages arriving in bad time I swear is your fault, though

I need a timecard

clearly

My actual computer plan for a while has been to wait for the next consumer chipsets, and go all-in on a big refresh of my setup and it sucks that it looks like that won't be until 2028 now

Hey, what are your thoughts of the Nvidia DGX Spark and the AGX Thor? Like, the CPU and GPU are all on the same chip?

I thought it was cool, my coworker has like 6 on his desk and I was playing with it

I used to use the old jetsons at work all the time

these are just cash grab versions of those

for the price I think they're not good, at least when I last looked at them

but I also don't really work on embeded AI systems at the edge

I think maybe as a personal computer, probably still not so, but to be able to have data directly in the GPU and process it without needing to ping-pong the data transfer between GPU and CPU, I found it really cool

But alright yeah, I think you are the single other person who would even know what I was talking about lol

So, and I don't understand this enough to explain it Ai workloads fall into two groupings (training and inference) and only inferencing is actually good on the unified memory systems

partially because they were designed around GPUs, those are the only things that are good at both

Nvidia is smart to cash in and release high-bandwidth unified devices

these unified chips designed for machine learning tasks are GPUs not TPUs?

I'm not familiar with those specifics either, since I've only trained on GPUs and I didn't have enough data (5 TB of acoustic data) to even bother using inference on GPUs

I believe they are a spectrum between TPU processors and GPU processors to let people choose between DSP and AI

uh, I don't think so Leg, they're just prosumer/lab repackaging of their special enterprise chips

^^

Kribbles said it better

I'm not trying to shit on the little AiO AI boxes either, I think they're cool I'd just rather have 2-3 good GPUs in a compute box I can use over the network
