Even after the price cut, theirs is still 3x the price of Mercedes' system which works better. I have a feeling Tesla's earnings report won't go well this afternoon. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-earnings-q1-175358835.html

At least the article points out that this is a Wall Street valuation, meaning it's meaningless in reality, the company doesn't have that much money, nor is it actually worth that much. In reality, Nvidia's tangible book value (plant, equipment, brands, logos, patents, etc.) is $37,436,000,000.

$37,436,000,000 / 29,600 employees = $1,264,729.73 per employee

Which isn't bad considering the median salary at Nvidia is $266,939 (up 17% from last year).

Thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out why Steam was broken on my laptop for the last 3 weeks or so. Installing the .deb from the Steam website fixed it. I'm starting to get fed up with Canonical.

Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].

I'm like "what'd we ever do to you?"

Using a phone sounds inconvenient to me. I usually just pull my card out of my wallet, wave it over the terminal until I hear a beep and that's it. Worst case scenario, I have to insert it into the chip reader or God-forbid swipe it through the slot like some kind of Neanderthal.

I'm kidding, but seriously, that's easier than screwing around with a phone, to me.

I pirated a certain 'crash cars and shoot'em up' game because, even though I own it on Steam, the gameplay (especially the launcher) absolutely sucks.

No more automatically downloading online content when I don't even play online and no more updates breaking my mods. It's worked out so well that I'm looking at pirating other games I already own.

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.

The real-estate mogul, of course, suggests he’s actually worth much more — valuing his own brand at as much as $10 billion.
... “I think it’s the hottest brand in the world.”

Yeah, I mean the Ford logo was good for $23B back in 2006, but I guess 10 > 23.5. Alternative math and all.

Damn, you beat me to it. Randolph and Mortimer would be pissed to hear about this.

Words just mean whatever these folks want them to mean.

AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG's hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.

You may want to ask over in !datahoarder@lemmy.ml . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it's perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.

If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.

Edit: If your CPU doesn't support the codec, it will still work, it just won't be accelerated.

That's why religious leaders are starting to turn on him. He's cutting in on their racket.

In addition to what the others have said, we've lost some big and popular instances (Vlemmy, FMHY and others) along with the communities they had. Also, with the 2 biggest (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) coming under attack every week, some users want to be on a smaller instance that's under the radar.

Finally, people want to choose an instance that fits their interests/beliefs. I chose mine mainly for what they don't allow and who they're defederated from, but to each his own.

Wow, Canada really is nicer. In the US, that wheelchair would have been smashed, and they'd cut her a check for like 30% of it's replacement cost.

Why replace torrents? Why not use both? It's a bonus if your usenet provider includes a VPN.

You probably don't want it

Seriously. Why act like the NSA are the bad guys? It's literally their job. They would be negligent in their duties if they didn't do it.

If people want more privacy, they need to change the fucking laws.

You haven't heard about wearable servers? C'mon get with the times! I'm headed out for a jog now, gotta keep my hashrate up!

Thanks for posting. I'm still new to this and had no idea what settings I should be using.

Were are the houses supposed to come from? I don't see many being built around me. Sellers aren't just going to put their house up for sale unless they have someplace to move to.

Probably better to ask on !localllama@sh.itjust.works. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

Short answer - yes, you can do it. It's just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you're willing to wait for an answer.

alias hgrep='function _f(){ history | grep $1; };_f'

Because I'm to lazy to type

history | grep whatever_I'm_looking_for

That's especially a problem since people absolutely don't want to see ads, they don't like the idea of a coin/reward system, and generally don't contribute (less than 1 out of 20 ppl donate, and that's being generous)

Lol, I came here to ask the same thing.

I really hope those patches make their way into the other distros. I've got a few Linux machines and the Steam Deck is the only one that wakes from sleep without locking up. It's also the only one that allocates VRAM for the iGPU automatically when a game needs more.

It sounds like the processor is the real limitation. Plenty of stuff from Windows XP era and before ran in less than 512MB.

The number one app for companies right now is "we can replace a lot of people and save a ton of money", specifically look at the chatbot assistants you see on websites. Once they get the kinks worked out there, I guarantee they'll have a talking version that will replace call center workers. And that's only the beginning.

They've already run the numbers and figured the upfront costs are worth it. Occasional maintenance/cooling/upgrades/tech support is still going to be cheaper than FICA/Medicare/401K matching/PTO/maternity leave/overtime/workman's comp/running a huge HR department/family day barbecues, etc.

Just trading one type of equipment for another, in their eyes.

I've been looking to try Civ 5 or 6, but haven't decided which one yet.

I think 5 is what I'm looking for. Sometimes Civ (in general) gets out of hand with the micromanagement. I want something that's kind of casual.

Yep.

"In 1978, the Cray 1 supercomputer cost $7 Million, weighed 10,500 pounds and had a 115 kilowatt power supply. It was, by far, the fastest computer in the world. The Raspberry Pi costs around $70 (CPU board, case, power supply, SD card), weighs a few ounces, uses a 5 watt power supply and is more than 4.5 times faster than the Cray 1"
...
Raspberry Pi ARM CPUs - The comment above was for the 2012 Pi 1. In 2020, the Pi 400 average Livermore Loops, Linpack and Whetstone MFLOPS reached 78.8, 49.5 and 95.5 times faster than the Cray 1.

Feeling called out by this. I mean those cars are tasty.

I'm with ya on that. I could rant on and on about privacy, but this ain't the place for that, I guess. The gov't promised if we let ISPs and telcos turn over our data they could catch all the terrorists, and now 20 years later they can't even catch kids making prank phone calls (SWATting) or telemarketers.

I guess it's true, people get the leadership they deserve.

OMG. I originally got the impression (from somewhere) that you couldn't pass arguments to an alias, so I googled and found that weird function nonsense. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks.

I guess "It’s not for everyone" is the real takeaway here. I'm not a phone guy in general, but I've been using cards since BK was still selling 99¢ Whoppers. I'm guessing both of us are ready to pay before the cashier has our order rung up.

To each their own. (I'm finally admitting that I'm fighting a losing battle on writing checks though.)

It's just the start though. It's going to spread to any and every thing they can think of. When's the last time a corporation said "Naw, that's off limits. We can't in good conscience monetize that."

I know right? It's like he and Linus(LTT) are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Long story short, it's not worth it.

In Linux, I used Input Remapper https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper to configure my Microsoft mouse buttons. I never tried it with a virtual machine, so I'm not sure about that.

And yes, forward and back were really annoying settings for it.

vlemmy disappeared (alternate link) a few weeks ago with out a trace or any explaination. FMHY's domain was confiscated by the government of Mali.

It's wired. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

Same here. I guess I should have pointed out that I'm not really much of a phone guy to begin with. I don't install many apps, and I stay logged out of Google. To me, losing a phone really just means losing my pictures and videos. The most expensive phone I've ever had was $200.
