So playing with 6.9 on an AMD 5800X3D - Started looking through the documentation and noticed that there were some Kernel flags for amd_pstate and amd_pcore. Set these to "amd_pstate=active amd_prefcore=enable" in grub and rebooted and now benchmarks are ever so slightly higher, but also geekbench reports a different clockspeed.

@9to5linux But will it actually fit in the official case?

@9to5linux We need a case for top mounted hats!! The Pineberry one doesn't fit either (And it suffocates the active cooling) ๐Ÿ˜…

This looks interesting

Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.

It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.

Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, #REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

(Built with #rustlang powered by #curl)

@dgoosens Is there any way to get it to output the [captures] to stdout after running?

Thanks to @saghul for the perfect illustration of the problems with chatGPT:

@steely_glint @saghul Oddly, it gives me the correct answer.

@solarisfire@mast.solarisfire.com avatar

@steely_glint @saghul Ah I was on GPT4, dropping back to GPT3.5 and yeah it's dumb...

solarisfire,
@solarisfire@mast.solarisfire.com avatar

@steely_glint @saghul It makes me wonder if they specifically manipulated the training data for GPT4 so it answers that correctly now... or if it learned to do so with no specific manipulation to the data set...

itโ€™s 100% a psychological thing but i do think music from my tangara sounds better than other sources

solarisfire,
@solarisfire@mast.solarisfire.com avatar

@jacqueline An audiophile seeks to experience music with high fidelity, prioritizing accuracy to the original recording. They prefer a flat response curve in audio equipment, which ensures all frequencies are reproduced equally. Neutral reproduction mirrors the original mix, revealing the intended balance without distortion. Bass boosts artificially emphasize low frequencies, distorting the natural sound. Audiophiles value equipment that authentically represents the music without enhancement.

Took the whole fediverse feed (or what my instance was aware of) from yesterday and put them through an AI image generator, and I know we crap on AI here but I kinda like it...

If games look better with upscaled images (DLSS) than natively rendered, then girls look better with makeup than naturally. Just my two cents.

solarisfire,
@solarisfire@mast.solarisfire.com avatar

@darth Depends on the game and the art style tbh, can't paint all games with the same brush. Some look trash with DLSS, some don't look bad at all... (Same with makeup, some people are better with / without).

โ€œDigital art bookโ€ โ€ฆ letโ€™s be real for a moment. Itโ€™s a set of pictures inside the game, which you cannot view unless you pay extra. Now when did this become normal?

No, I will not be quiet. :elmofire:

Mojang should consider putting on . :giga_chad: Because why not.

@darth It's Microsoft at the end of the day... And they've put things like Halo and Flight Sim on Steam. So I really don't understand why they don't stick Minecraft on there.

@theshatterstone54 @Fizz I've bought a physical copy of every switch game I've ever played on Yuzu on my Steam Deck... It was just nice having to only carry one portable about, and a superior overall gaming experience. I'll never do business with Nintendo again over this...

What services do you use which work with / / ?

I'm testing a new product and want to see where it works and where it doesn't.

Thanks gang!

@Edent Nextcloud, Lastpass, Paypal, Coinbase, Cloudflare... are the first few off the top of my head.

I asked chatgpt4 to have dalle3 generate "a cross section of a gourmet chocolate with each layer labeled."

Ummm...I think my 2012 Macbook Pro is finally dying. ๐Ÿ˜ต It won't finish turning on and was making ticking noises so I forced it to turn off by holding down the power button. I have it backed up on Time Machine but I don't know if I can transfer what's backed up on the Macbook Pro to a newer computer. ๐Ÿ˜†

Ughhhh. ๐Ÿ˜… I guess I'll have to research this.

@noellemitchell Ticking sounds like a dying mechanical hard disk... Possibly replaceable?

solarisfire,
@solarisfire@mast.solarisfire.com avatar

@noellemitchell Should be possible! Although you have to be careful with Apple computers and get a Mac specific SSD I think...
