Unfortunately io_uring is disabled by default on most cloud workload orchestrators, like CloudRun, GKE, EKS and even local Docker. Hope this will change soon, but until then it will remain very niche.

Why do they disable io_uring?

Just write a 10 TB hard disk full of plaintext mantras and let that bad boy spin at its usual ~5k rpm for a cost effective 50 PB of mantras per minute. Or go MAAS and write a few them into S3.

With S3 you risk the prayers sitting static in solid state storage

Reminds me of the Electric Monk from Douglas' Adams "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" [0]

It's essentially a robot built to believe things on behalf of its owner, offloading the tiresome burden of religion to a machine.

In the book it is explained as a natural evolution of other machines, like a dishwasher washes dishes for you, a VCR watches TV for you, an electric monk believes for you.

Lack of evidence is not the same as contradictory evidence.

Could you point to any literature on evidence that refutes creationism? I'm not saying there isn't any. I'm just admitting my ignorance of it. Please enlighten me.

Falsifiability is pretty important here. What evidence could, in theory, refute creationism?

I don't even like Hyundai.

What's "unrealistic and childish" is expecting free labour.

It's not free labor, they already got paid for it. They just fucked it up the first time.

Curious to see how this works out. The flight booking example is interesting because it’s one of the last purchase powers I’d want to hand over to an AI.

If it gets a major travel detail wrong, purchases a business class ticket on accident, etc. and I need to adjust the booking by calling the airline, then I’m way less happy than I was if I just bought the ticket myself. Not to mention what happens when Google flights gets a UI refresh and knocks the accuracy rate of the agent down even 10%.

Digital criminals are gonna love it, though.

I’m personally much more interested in automating browser tasks that aren’t economically valuable because that mitigates the risk.

Airlines will love it too. How long until an AI company gets paid to prefer a certain company

They offered 6 months severance which dispels any serious notion of 'cruelty'. Substance over form.

I don't understand this comment. Of course the person mastering/editing the movie will have to know what they are doing. They need to ensure it's done properly. AI image generation is just a technique in the toolbox to achieve that.

I’m saying you could just do it the right way and record in a higher frame rate before reaching for interpolation
