AI requirements.....?

[–] slaacaa 61 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Weird Al Yankovich has recently published a manifesto about the optimal parameters of modern computers, which are informally referred to as “AI requirements”

You thought AI is going to help you?

No, you need to serve the AI, you need to sastify it's requirement.

Real Answer:

from the article:

"The coding included hardware requirements for the CPU with the required instructions and a minimum of 16GB of memory. "

So they run locally? That surely means that no data is send to MS, right? Right?!

lol

So MS is upping the required amount of RAM so now there is even less for my browser to hog. Here O was getting by with 32 gigs, guess it's time to go for broke and get 128.

SSE 4.2
POPCNT instruction specifically
16GB of RAM.

The first two are available on CPUs starting from AMD K10 (Phenom) and Intel's Penryn and Nehalem architectures (Core 2 and original Core i5/i7).

Seriously? The old core i7 870 (not a typo) I have in my closet meets the requirements? Adding the watermark for CPUs older than that just seems mean-spirited.

[–] Evilcoleslaw 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think there are also some ARM SoCs (now that Windows on ARM is a thing) that don't meet the requirements, and there are too many systems out there with only 8GB of RAM.

😁 I have a MacBook pro with only 2g ram running the newest linux kernel, nouveau and Gnome on Wayland without swap, höhö. Well it runs mostly, it’s enough to stream from plex, tho.

Core 2, that takes me back.
