At least Google is still "usable" meanwhile Youtube search became the biggest piece of cr*p ever produced: "Shorts" "People like you also like this completely unrelated content" "Do you want results? haha, here you have home results as well".

Kinda sad because it was amazing before.

GPUs Go Brrr 2 years ago

I really hope we see AI-PU (or with some other name, INT16PU, why not) for the consumer market sometime soon. Or been able to expand GPU memory using a pcie socket (not sure if technically possible).

Agree. This feature just make it worse as a script language, which are supposed to have rapid development.

No really related, but I personally dislike GaussianBlur as the default noise removal method in all CV articles. In a lot of cases is more useful to filter by color (like BLACK letters in a white paper) otherwise bilateral filter (also available our of the box in OpenCV) usually works better especially if you want to do edge-detection (gaussian also blur edges). Yeah, GaussianBlur may be better performance-wise, but that is something you should consider if you real-time app is short of cpu-power.

Anecdotally, recently I tried to upgrade/update a PC (at my parent's house) running a 5 YO Manjaro build and was not possible. All mirrors dead, GPG keys server dead, broken dependencies, etc... I am far from a Linux expert but tried everything I could, sometimes checking 10 YO threads and ChatGPT. In the end I just installed Windows O o.
