You mean the trading card game that used to be coherent but these days is whored out to every franchise on Earth so Hasbro can make a quick buck, reputation be damned? There are worse comparisons.
Still better than the spell that needs to be cast at local noon. They synchronized those by having each monastery create and then destroy an invisible copy of the sun whenever they cast it. You don’t want to know how expensive to maintain that is.
Thunderbolt 3 is part of USB4. Thunderbolt 4 is separate and not supported by AMD processors yet, probably due to licensing issues. (Note that prior to USB4 this was why Thunderbolt 3 wasn’t available on AMD.)
Besides, LLMs struggle with retaining contextual information for long and they’re pretty dang resource hungry. Expect a game with LLM-driven dialogue to reserve several gigs of VRAM and a fair chunk of GPU processing power solely for that.
And then you still get characters who hallucinate plot points or suddenly speak gibberish.
Honestly, if you want one simple DE for everyone it should probably be XFCE. Dead simple to use, feels vaguely familiar to Windows users, not overly complicated.
KDE is heavily customizable, Gnome is very opinionated, and tiling WMs don’t adhere to orthodox UI patterns. Those are all suboptimal if you want something usable by the absolute widest range of users.
Mind you, the real winner is of course Android. It has a consistent, easy to learn interface and a wide range of applications that integrate nicely.
And we don’t need to speculate; it has already won and is the true face of Linux for the masses. Plenty of young people don’t even own traditional computers anymore and do everything on their smartphone or tablets.
And that’s why this entire discussion is really just a form of fan wank; we don’t need to find a unified UI for Linux because it has already been found and has a massive market share. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
Everything else can be as complicated, janky, or exotic as it wants because it doesn’t matter.
And even if we accept that it was always intended to be PSN-only and they decided to launch before PSN integration was done, the fact that multiplayer is entirely dependent on them providing a service is troubling. That’s how we lose games.
I can still launch Rainbow Six 3 and play multiplayer with my friends because it has the server built in and allows direct connect via IP address. You can’t do that with a live service game; once the official servers are down the game becomes (partially or completely) lost media.
Tinc gets broken by Windows updates every once in a while. The problem is that the update sometimes renames the network connections and Tinc needs the connection to have a specific name to work.
That’s the one I personally ran into several times now.
Given that I literally said I personally encountered this problem: Yes, it does. It’s mostly just an annoyance that goes straight onto the “Windows Update jank” pile but I have wasted quite a bit of time helping people deal with connectivity issues that could down to “tinc_vpn” getting automatically renamed to “Network Connection 7”.
When I bought an e-bike for my commute I decided to splurge on one with a belt and I regret nothing. You spend less time messing with it and the bike is a lot nicer to work on when you don’t have to worry about getting grease all over your hands. If I was to buy a regular bike I’d see if something with a belt was available within my price range because I like it that much better.
Mind you, I had that bike for less than two years at this point. I don’t know how a belt behaves in the long run.
Kernel-level anticheat and DRM are killer features, like it or not. People don’t care how invasive they are, they want to play League of Duty. If Linux can’t do that then it’s not good enough yet as far as they are concerned.
Meanwhile the only thing keeping me from switching to Garuda on my desktop is that the GPU is wonky and misbehaves even worse under Linux than it does under Windows. Screw competitive online games.
True, but getting someone to switch to Linux is a hard sell already. Any compatibility issues are seen as the OS’s fault, not as the game company being lazy.
Had the song It’s Raining Men stuck in my head. Got me thinking. Would my home owners insurance cover the damages to my house? And what about the clean up?
Or an action movie with a fight scene aboard a transport airplane with people getting tossed out of the loading door. Cut to action on the ground with them impacting in sync with the music.
I don’t. I generally dislike eating out or going to movies or events alone. I’m also generally very introverted but I happen to dislike going out and doing stuff by myself.
One big part is that I can chat if I eat with someone but if I eat by myself I’m understimulated. And if I already sit there and look at my smartphone while eating I can as well just pick up something from the bakery around the corner and eat it while looking at my computer screen.
Well, his party is trying to make people forget he’s in there for fear of losing votes. Given that this party is the “presentable” face of the hard right I hope he gets as much media attention as possible.
Not sure anything is going to happen to him personally but he’s a politician and this is corruption so probably not.
Besides, isn’t China already selling ammo to them? I could very well see China selling vehicles to Russia in large quantities, even on loan – and all it will take is Russia to become even more of a Chinese satellite state.
We tried sitting this out and it didn’t work. Ukraine’s new approach of actively making Russia hurt looks more promising.
It helps if you had some of this stuff in college.
The gist of it is that you want to have your data in many dimensions because that allows you to fit your facts in more easily – but multidimensional data starts behaving in some really counterintuitive ways. For example, data points become harder to distinguish for complicated math reasons.
That’s really annoying and people doing AI should be mindful of it or their AI ends up underperforming.
I’m more familiar with the course of dimensionality with respect to clustering (aka looking at a bunch of data points and trying to find groups). Clustering quickly becomes really expensive as your dimensions go up and that can make your entire approach prohibitively expensive.
Note that the article mentioned doing kNN (k-Nearest-Neighbor, a clustering algorithm) in 700 dimensions, which kinda sounds like a very good reason why training a major AI model takes obscene amounts of resources.
