Don’t forget Windows VISTA, which I believe is 6STA in Roman Numerals, which is right before Windows 7.
And y’all say it’s not intelligent. This chart has middle management written all over it.
Is this a bit?
looks like coinflip odds to me.
x dot com bluecheck + topic of post is AI booster shit + chart could easily be LLM output itself + the general collapse of awareness on the internet, could could come down either way i think
It would be impressive if this chart was LLM output seeing as it’s correct.
The chance of that is fairly good across of two queries
I’m gonna go with yes
Isn’t it true that M$ did Xbox 360 instead of Xbox 2 because they didn’t want to be “behind” PS3? So techbros at the very least think that people actually think like that?
One time A&W launched a 1/3 pound burger to compete with McDonalds’ 1/4 pound burger and it flopped because amerikkkans don’t understand that 1/3 is bigger than 1/4.
How could they have made it better? Picture showing 3 forming a complete set vs 4 forming one and comparing cost?
i think that was out of the marketing department rather than ballmer or whoever was in charge of the division
That sounds like exactly the kind of thing Microsoft would spend 6 teams 4 months and millions of dollars to screw up, yes.
java went from 1.5 to 6 or something, for the same reason. slackware linux went from 4 to 7 without touching 5 or 6, in a single year.
people are what they are.
Don’t forget skipping Microsoft 9. Microsoft OS went from 8 to 10.
They said that one was to avoid bugs caused by programs checking for “windows 9” to catch windows 95 and 98
I assume that’s just an excuse they created after the fact because when they renamed 9 into 10, 10 did not confuse itself with 1.0 (or 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, or 1.04). Nor did Windows 2000 confuse itself for Windows 2.0.
Those latter ones all have a
., which would presumably have been part of the shitty version regex written by even the laziest Windows developer across history.
People will mock this, but your average consumer is… Not paying much attention to much at all.
America absolutely can not allow a model number gap with the Chinese
Brb gonna go release Super Intelligence V 9001 so that my AI is miles above everyone else
you know what would blow them all away? Windows 11. or Windows 98! or a 1990 GMC Sierra 1500!!
Or a magic 8 ball

This is like the [x] nm IC fabrication process names. The nm length hasn’t been an actual measurement of a size feature on the transistors since early naughts. So 5nm process is just a name and I think the smallest controllable size feature is currently somewhere around 20nm. There is really only one company doing the smallest transistors so they get to name it whatever they want as long as it’s smaller than the previous one. It’s funny that they managed to work the names down to 2 nm process now because they’re approaching the size of a Silicon atom @ .22nm. Maybe the names will asymptotically approach that.

icdesign is my passionfuckin love it, that is some hilarious shit
“Without making mistakes, please make me a graph comparing different AI models’ power over time.”
Hell yeah, I teach a science communication class and collect these things for when we talk about graph design.
