2-13% seems very disappointing considering how long the 7000 series has been out. I was hoping we'd see more like 80-200% based on the gains we've seen from Apple and Nvidia in this time/
Actually no, since running under VirtualBox is effectively still running the same code in the same processor, it will also crash and burn under VirtualBox.
Just pointing they don't care about "50 year program compatibility", never have. At best they care of last 10 years.
You are running a _patched_ version of Windows ME. The original Windows ME will just crash on first boot if you try to use it. The fact that _you have to search_ to find the fix to use it proves my point...
Why does it matter if it's "0.0000001%" of the spec they broke, if it's exactly the .% a major operating system needs to run? Does it matter if they break "0.1%" or "50%" of the spec if as a consequence your 50 year old software doesn't run any more?
Sorry, but once you have to resort to emulation or patching binaries, I can hardly think it anymore as trivial. Or that they care about backwards compatibility.
You are lucky someone has figured out whatever needs to be patched here. You won't be next time.
"Most people" could get by with a Chromebook. But "most people" is made up of many groups, if you ignore those groups you have nothing but a race to the bottom.
Draw things is neat but it's so damn slow compared to other tools (e.g. invokeai), I'm not sure why it takes so long to generate images with any model?
On the same Mac hardware, Draw Things should be the fastest on models such as SDXL / FLUX.1 against other tools based on PyTorch (I stopped benchmarking SD v1.5 results for a while so that might regress a little bit here or there).
Research doesn’t show the government providing cheap or free money doesn’t inflate prices? We’ve just lived through four years of insane government spending correlated with the highest inflation in over 40 years.
This is an experiment that has been tried and always has the same results: the cost of an item increases by approximately the amount of the subsidy the government provides. UBI experiments “work” because they are elevating the income of a small portion of the population above their peers. It’s not actually universal.

The post being replied to said:
> There is not doubt in my mind that if we somehow implemented a UBI in a way that would not just result in inflation of rent and everyday goods, the vast majority of people would simply stop working, get bored, depressed, and more likely go looking for mischief before they started working on useful or interesting hobby projects.
So, the response saying that the research doesn't support that conclusion is not about the "that would not just result in" there, it's about countering the remainder of that point. Most people will not choose to do absolutely nothing. (And if some people do, that's fine!)
That's separate from the many arguments that UBI is not inherently inflationary, which neither the post you replied to or the post it replied to were making.

Vis-a-vis food stamps and unemployment checks, I don't think you can draw the correlation you think exists. Particularly past a certain level of poverty, the state ends up spending more to manage the consequences of unemployment than it saves by refusing to fix it. UBI in this case perpetuates inequity but it also greases the wheels of a down-and-out working population that can be motivated by higher standards of living.
From a net-gain perspective, developed nations investing in themselves like this makes sense. The alternative is letting the middle class rot, which is something that only the upper-class would stand to gain from.
Heck, I'm convinced even the upper class benefits long term from the kind of investment you're talking about, for a bunch of reasons.
To name just two examples: Technological progress happens more smoothly when there are mass markets. Society is healthier and safer when everybody feels like they have a stake in it.
The life hack I've had to resort to for in-office days is wearing large over-ear headphones to signal I'm not available for interrupting. Half the time I don't even have them plugged in. It mostly works, but remote work is still more productive for me.
