They're not a particularly fast card compared to something like a 5070, they have lots of VRAM. That's why they were cheap before. Also "Some stupid game", who woke up and made you king of hobbies.

"give them difficult tasks beyond your own intellect?" Lol no, I've yet to find a model with those properties. Sounds like a fast track to AI psychosis. The domain I work in doesn't have enough public documentation for t

I'm using the qwen cli tool with a duckduckgo search skill that I made Claude write. It's like bootstrapping I guess Once it can search for factual information online the smaller model size becomes less noticeable

I get about 35-40tok/sec on a 3090. It's actually about the same speed when accounting for how much more responsive my system is to Anthropic's saas infrastructure

I'm finding qwen 27b is comparable to sonnet but my self hosting has about 5 more 9s than whatever Anthropic's vibe coding. I also don't have to worry about the quality of the model I'm being served from day to day. Prob

The soundtracks for SimCity 3000, 4, and the 5th one titled just "SimCity" are written specifically to be played while doing some fiddly micromanagement tasks.

No because as far as we know 26.04 won't enable zswap or zram whereas Windows and MacOS both have memory compression technology of some sort. So Ubuntu will use significantly more memory for most tasks when facing memory pressure. Appa

I had a memory management problem so I introduced GC/ref counting and now I have a non-deterministic memory management problem.

Sure but what did those guys do all day? 400 people is a lot of people

Even at 100k employees I’m still dumbfounded by that number. What do all these people do all day?

It's really funny that after going through all those fonts it landed on Ubuntu Mono for me which is what I use anyways to code in my terminal. I wonder if it's Stockholm syndrome or if I really do prefer it. It's a totally fi

Because that's probably how long it took for someone to prioritize it. Even if it's not fixed by the dupe ticket, the volume of bug reports makes it almost certain another ticket for the same issue will come up. And if it doesn&#x

You don’t hear back because almost always your bug is a duplicate of some other one. They can’t share the original with you because it contains data from another customer or from inside the company. Almost nobody is the first reporter in a

Yes I understand that. ~50000 engineers aren't conspiring to close all tickets that way. It's a stupid line of thinking. More than likely your steps to reproduce are too laborious to receive attention relative to the value fixing

That the ~50000 engineers at Apple are conspiring to close your tickets in the exact same way. It's ridiculous

by CoolGuySteve 6mo ago
Back when I worked at Apple I would just try it in whatever I had installed. If it didn't reproduce I'd write "Cannot reproduce in 10.x.x" and close it. Maybe a third were like that, duplicates of some other issue that w

Would be nice if zswap could be configured to have no backing cache so it could completely replace zram. Having two slightly different systems is weird. There's not really any difference between swap on disk being full and swap in ram

The article says it starts to repeat after a few days but with flash memory prices being what they are couldn’t they have loaded something like a hundred thousand little voice clips on a $15 32GB micro sd card? Might require AI to generate

It didn't seem to make the news but at least in NYC the entire Amazon storefront was broken all afternoon on Friday. Items weren't displaying prices and it was impossible to add anything to your cart. It lasted from about 2pm to 5

Because it's not a Mac even though the chipset is the same, there's no XCode and whatnot.

My monitor has a powered USB-C port and USB hub built into it. It's one cable to dock a laptop, it's pretty cool. If I could plug my iPad into that cable to use it as a Mac I would do that all the time and buy a more powerful iPad

That’s like like 4 or 5 fields to fill in on a form. Way less intrusive than installing this thing

I honestly think the way they mix their audio is so the stadium noise gets turned down whenever the announcer talks and the American announcers just never shut the fuck up no matter how inane they might be.

Yes but like all non-default settings, a large portion of the player base doesn't have it enabled. Games have to be designed for a large market, not just high end OLED buyers. Even then, most VA/IPS/LED displays have somethin

A large part of this is because the latency on modern TVs can be anywhere between 4.7ms and 150ms so games have to allow for a lot of slack in their input. The NES and SNES had 1-3 frames of latency depending on the game.

It depends on your wiring but I've had pretty good success with AV2000 powerline ethernet. I get about 400Mbps and a reliable 2ms ping which is good enough for gaming and streaming from my media center. The endpoint in my living room

East should be at the top so you can imagine the sun moving from top to bottom to visualize time zone offsets. Right now the sun goes from right to left which is the opposite of how we read most languages.
