tchambers, to fediverse

Facinating to watch a potential to the fediverse. The and teams are dealing with all the same issues that Mastodon and other fedi microbloging sites did - but in even a faster timeframe as much of Reddit appears to be set to go dark on Monday. Questions of how to onboard, questions of centralized vs distributed onboarding, questions of how to explain servers and federation, and deep questions of how to scale if traffic is anyting like it could be Monday...

@tchambers Oh yeah, I'm part of that problem. But I'm experimenting (legitimately, participating in discussion) in following fora on both and from my Mastodon server. It's working! It's amazing. xD

Honestly this whole thing kinda convinced me that the government doesnt have secret ufo pics or anything because he definitely would have shown those to like 200 people

@hannah RIGHT?! Some friend of mine was saying the same thing in an earlier version of this.

@mikej @greenhombre Not enough better to matter. There will be a little drop but against >400? It'll be scratch marks.

NYC has pretty good air these days. I mean, they're right on the coast, mostly islands, and the clean air act worked:

Apple's top specification apple computer costs $12K. With a payment plan, that's less than
rent.

I propose the new company motto:

Apple, still better than your landlord 🤷‍♀️

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@Azuaron @rose Functionally, Apple is working to demonstrate that dedicated GPUs are not necessary.

They're working to demonstrate that the same capabilities or better can be implemented within a unified CPU-GPU computing module at both much lower cost and much lower power efficiency. Literally nobody is close to Apple right now in computing power per watt, which incidentally is also computing power per unit of heat.

In a server environment, which is where the bulk of the money is, that's everything.

If they pull this off, Intel and AMD will replicate, and Nvidia is in a lot of trouble. Generically. Unless they move into the same field - which, you'll note, they are.

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@Azuaron @rose Yes, I'm aware most Intel (and more recently some AMD) have had onboard basic graphics. I run this mastodon node, I ran a divisional server room at the Microsoft Corporation before becoming a systems developer, I am aware of PCs.

That doesn't mean you could game acceptably on them, or use them meaningfully to accelerate your graphics and graphics-like tasks. The capabilities between Intel and AMD onboard graphics vs. Apple Silicon integrated graphics are not comparable, and it's the capabilities of the Apple Silicon graphics that matters here, because Nvidia in particular needs to worry if Apple pulls this off.

(See also how hard they've been working to develop their own ARM hybrid CPU/GPU.)

actual question should I blue this because I don’t know, it didn’t come with any kind of coating or anything and I don’t know

since I don’t have real before and after shot, here instead: I wasn’t sure there was a brand on it at all and definitely couldn’t read whatever might have been there

Once Thingiverse's cache catches up (ETA: it did), I've uploaded an improved version of my thread-out alarm here:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5930651

The new ones are version 4, and the old ones - still up - are version 3.

Version 3 worked fine with good filament coming off a new spool; version 4 works fine with that too, but also works well with random bent-up bullshit which - hey guess what - is when I actually want a filament alarm!

Also V4 has a speaker grille for louder but harsher-sounding alarm. That's kind of why I left V3 up there; if it was loud enough for you already, you can use V3's speaker case with V4's thread holder and it'll all snap together just fine.
