It was garbage and not at all what they promised, nobody is surprised.

Be aware OP that local LLMs are quite a bit worse than what’s available online. Llama 3 is (probably?) the best one available now and even that has a habit of being very stupid sometimes compared to claude or chatgpt.

I loved this game. The soundtrack and visuals added so much to the atmosphere.

Looks very WIP but promising. The environment does seem TF2-ish.

Oh they’re redundancies to IGN alright, they literally bought their competitors and got to kill competition with zero resistance

Well, artifact was dead from the start and underlords was more of a spinoff chasing a fad. What we know about Deadlock is that they’re putting a lot of resources into it, and it sounds like it would be really popular with the MOBA crowd.

No way lol, dark souls 1 is likely the most difficult in the series because it doesn’t hold your hand at all, and it’s very easy to get lost. There’s a reason it people kept comparing any super hard game to dark souls despite the fact that DS2 and DS3 were fairly accessible.

They did nerf the most difficult bosses and minibosses after release which made it a lot more approachable I think.

What did Miyazaki mean by this

Yes, Linux actually does already run on ARM chips, and Qualcomm themselves pledged support for Linux for the new chips within the next 6 months.

There is one big issue though: most applications won’t be available since they have to work specifically for ARM. This is a big deal because I don’t think Linux has a proper x86 --> ARM translation layer. That means most of your apps and games won’t work.

I’d wait at least a couple of months to see how the ecosystem is before buying one. It’s likely going to be a very bumpy ride for the next ~2 years until everything you’d need is supported.

Most applications are/can be compiled for arm. You just need the right repo or to compile from source.

Maybe the essentials like browsers and CMD tools are available for ARM, but I’m talking about applications in general. Almost all of Flatpak won’t work, not everyone will bother compiling for ARM and those that do probably won’t do so as soon as these laptops release. You’d have to be a real poweruser to compile stuff from source and not suffer. Not to mention proprietary stuff that are already reluctant to support Linux, imagine how long it’ll take for things like Zoom and Discord to get official support. Before anyone hits me with the “those don’t matter”, it does to a lot of people.

You don’t need a translation layer unless the software is proprietary and the vendor isn’t willing to compile for arm.

Even then, there will be tons of legacy apps people will want to run.

Isn’t there things like qemu and box64…

Yeah, but they’re experimental and probably very buggy. I’ve used box64 on my phone, it doesn’t play well with everything.

Can it do LLM inference as fast as a M2/M3 Macbook?

It should be better at AI stuff than M series laptops, allegedly. Many manufacturers actually started listing their prices for the new laptops, the new Microsoft ones start at 16GB of RAM at $1000. I know the Lenovo one can reach 64GB of RAM but not sure about the pricing.
