While I think that local LLMs are the future, i think these setups are insane. You shouldn't be trying to push the SOTA, most people underestimate how much you can get out of small LLMs. Why ask FABLE 5000 to "summarize this email

I tried making one, but I couldn't make through the camera position tracking bit, software was super unintuitive. Very interested in gaming applications for this tech, but still waiting for it to be more approachable from a layman&#x27

They use a gamescope[1] session to achieve this. You could potentially do the same on dekstop, but it's painful. [1] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

Yeah, but no. Proton is the best thing that happened to Linux gaming, but sometimes it's still not good enough to get full Windows-like experience. HDR still doesn't work properly, there are no codecs (Atmos, DTS:X) for my surroun

Yeah I guess the card companies will adapt somehow as well (in fact there's a follow-up video on how to discourage this technique [1]), but there's still a huge market for "vintage" cards and packs that will be affected.

A CT technian has figured out a way to look inside a TCG booster pack and identify rare cards inside without opening it. This potentially could change the whole collectable market, since you could fish for expensive rares and dump the &quot

A reminder of how centralized and dependent the whole industry has become on GH, which is ironic, considering that git itself is designed to be decentralized. Good opportunity to think about mirroring your repos somewhere else like Gitea or

Actually recognizing people posting is something that i dearly miss. Now you barely even notice the usernames.

Because that wasn't the deal. Nobody complained when YT was monopolizing online video because it was convenient and free and then they proceed to bait and switch us into paying. Screw them, I won't pay out of principle.

Because it wasn't the deal when they were consolidating the all online video content into themselves. And then once they've gotten "too big to fail", the greed rolled in. They bait and switched us. Youtube killed private

Forget the numbers, just knowing that CEO is not fucking me over to build a second vacation home is Aspen would be enough for me.

> Everyone at Oxide makes $201,227 USD, regardless of location. Man I would love to work for a company like that. I don't know why more people don't set their startups like that.

Hate to be that guy, but did we? Sure it looks different, but I'm still dragging windows on a virtual desktop. You'd think there would be some innovation. For example I've always dreamed of a scrolling-timeline-like interacti

And yet if I post my CV as a "Linux Systems Administrator" I will get zero replies on LinkedIn. I wish this wasn't the case though.

What we need is a resurgence of specialty forums, but there's no good modern forum engine around, at least I'm not aware of one.

https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/ Works on all platforms, but runs much better on Linux. Running this in Docker on my 2080Ti, can barely fit 13B-4bit models into 11G of VRAM, but it works fine, p

I'd love to hear what Facebook defines as "open" and "democratic". I understand the unwillingness to attach your brand to whatever porn that inevitably comes out of making it available for everybody, but maybe don&#

On the flip side, these days you can download UE or Unity for free and make your own game. Not even from scratch, just throw together a bunch of free assets and have at it. And it's getting easier and easier, just search Steam for &quo

I wish they'd just un-screw the page ranking algorithm. The quality of search has been steadily going down for quite a while now due to spam getting better and better at SEO. I'm hopeful for this feature, but I'm not sure how

I self-host everything but my email. Hosting email is just too much. Big providers just treat you as guilty of spam, unless proven otherwise. Just too many hoops to jump through.

As much as I'm a fan of Alex after watching his previous docs, I'm not buying into Facebook world, just to watch this. Hoping someone would dump this on trackers somehow.
