That’s just because ZFS’s disc cache shows up as application-used memory, instead of disc cache memory. (Disc cache memory is often reported in system monitor tools as ‘free’ memory, because it can be freed up as soon as you need it. ZFS’s disc cache works the same way, but it’s not reported separately to the OS, so that makes it look like ZFS is using a shitload of RAM.) If it bothers you, you can set a maximum amount of RAM for ZFS to use, and that will clear it up. It will mean that your performance is slightly worse, though, because ZFS won’t be able to use disc caching optimally.

They’re only starting now?

True humor transcends language barriers. If you have difficulty being funny in a different language, it means you’re relying too heavily upon puns.

I just hate always being rushed rushed rushed. Always have to go faster. Click faster, move faster, make decisions faster. Faster faster faster.

I want to play a strategy game, but at competitive levels, it’s less about strategic thinking and more about just memorizing what the ‘meta’ is, and then being able to execute that meta faster than the other guy. And all this rush and hurry all the time is just too much strain. I want to play games to relax, not to add stress. I get plenty of stress from real life.

On one hand, maybe we as a society should move past child abuse being played for laughs.

On the other hand, a ham-fisted government ban is probably not the right way to accomplish that.

Obviously. That’s why they’re called parental controls.

If she asks, tell her Fox News went out of business. Very sad.

No, grandma. I’m not going to be an enabler for your Fox News addiction.

Most places are not urban.

but you’re not gonna feed your family meat/potato/milk farming the Wendy’s game.

Not with that attitude.

But once you turn the botfarm loose on it…

That’s really a flawed analogy, though. In this analogy, the man isn’t passing the Chinese Turing Test – the program is passing the Turing Test. The man is just the hardware that the program is running on.

It’s not a question of whether the man (the hardware) has any understanding. What you want to know is if the program has any understanding. Honestly, it seems like deliberately muddying the issue by proposing this hypothetical ‘intelligent hardware’ and using it to distract from the actual question about the software’s intelligence.

If I’m running a supposedly ‘intelligent’ AI on my 3090, you can’t refute that by pointing out that the 3090 is not intelligent on its own, without software.

You gotta send separate emails with only one point/question in each email. Leave them nothing else to respond to.

Gotta burn up the token quota somehow, or the boss will be mad again.

Depending on the humidity in the pit, it could be very dehydrating and cause them to basically mummify.

It will either instantly trip the breaker or do absolutely nothing, depending on how it’s wired internally.

The real danger comes from when only one end is plugged in, though. With only one end plugged in, the other end becomes a 120V cattle prod.
