Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren’t great on Linux, at least with controllers

Although that is improving!

What about an asic makes it more flexible or easy to swap out? I thought it was just a general term for any application specific chip.

I think NVIDIA’s strategy is to have high throughout and compute for fp4,8,16,32,bf8,sparsity,etc and not really commit to much. I guess if the application is very well known there’s a bit of overhead in that.

I’m not in industry or anything so I’m not very confident in this but I don’t really see how an ASIC would be that different overall

GPUs are basically halfway to ASICs already. Probably about half of a lot of modern GPU die area is dedicated to or needed to support specialized AI hardware.

I think the next steps are integrated memory and compute, and ternary operations. Integrated memory and compute would probably need specialized hardware, I doubt it would make sense to include anything other than matrix operations and some common AI functions in that sort of processor.

Also, isn’t that just an NPU?

In eastern US, first time using DDG on this device, it shows normal links (searched “Ukraine drone attack”)

It is probably the most polished map. I would rather use something open source, but it makes sense why they switched.

Would be nice if it had a built in calculator and unit converter, that’s a ddg feature I use a lot

Implying he isn’t right wing anymore, or just not openly?

I agree with most of the stuff he says, he just doesn’t seem very nuanced and I find the angry tone slightly off-putting. I like NJB tho, probably because he’s just sarcastic at some points for effect.

It’s for transferring pictures over the wifi network or a local wifi network that the camera is hosting. If you have the SD card plugged in, there’s absolutely no reason to use the app instead of your phone’s file manager. I don’t even think the app will recognize an SD card, but I don’t really know. It might recognize a plugged in camera, but it doesn’t advertise that and I’ve never tried.

There’s not really anything you need the app for. It can remote control the camera with a live feed, which is cool but not all that useful, at least for me. It can also transfer images and videos, but I’m not sure it does the videos at full resolution, at least in my camera. For all practical purposes it’s just a little less useful than carrying a USB C SD card reader around with your camera that you can plug into your phone (because it also takes a good minute to connect usually, but my only datapoint is a camera from 2014 so they might have improved it since then)

The youtuber Adam Something is like that too imo

I would get discord, youtube, lemmy, and reddit

I try to avoid new platforms tho bc I don’t trust myself not to get addicted and social media already takes up too much of my time

The chrome tab groups were what I missed the most when I switched, so I’m happy with the change. It’s a little jankier feeling as in chrome it’s harder to drag a tab out of the group, while in Firefox if you move a tab to the end it’s hard to get it to stay in the group.

It would also be nice if any of it was themeable, but themeability in Firefox is a whole other problem.

It looks like the ux is very different this time tho

I love it, it was basically the only thing I missed when I switched from Chrome to Firefox. I’ve reorganized all of my tabs and everything is so much cleaner than it was a few days ago.

Now we just need jxl, webgpu, and better themes!

I know some people are suspicious of fedora specifically because of its ties with IBM.

Arch also can absolutely be installed just as quickly as any other distro if you use the archinstall script. I used it recently to install KDE plasma onto a Chromebook from 2017 and everything worked exactly as expected, I haven’t had any issues with stability so far. Can absolutely be done in under half an hour. It ofc doesn’t come with the advantage of understanding exactly how your system is set up, like you would if you did it yourself.

The last time I did that (slightly different setup with xfce) though I broke it somehow and ended up with if freezing often when booting, although I’m still not sure if that was a hardware problem or not, but it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. I also broke something with the audio jack somehow around then during an update, but chromebooks have weird audio drivers and you need to use this script maintained by (afaik) one person in their spare time. Anyways I would expect a framework laptop to handle it better as it’s newer and more common hardware.

You could keep the kernel tho while changing the gui

I’m just using basic fabric stuff running through a systemd service for my MC server. It also basically just has every single performance mod I could find and nothing else (as well as geyser+floodgate) so there isn’t all that much admin stuff to do. I set up RCON (I think it’s called) to send commands from my computer but I just set up everything through ssh. I haven’t heard of either pterodactyl or crafty controller, I’ll check those out!

for high vram ai stuff it might be worth waiting and seeing how the 24gb b580 variant is

Intel has a bunch of translation layer sort of stuff though that I think generally makes it easy to run most CUDA ai things on it, but I’m not sure if common ai software supports multi gpu with it though

IDK how cash limited you are but if it’s just the vram you need and not necessarily the tokens/sec it should be a much better deal when it releases

Not entirely related but I have a full half hourly shapshotted computer backup going to a large HDD in my home server using Kopia, its very convenient and you don’t need to install anything on the server except a large drive and the ability to use ssh/sftp (or another method, it supports several). It supports many compression formats and also avoids storing duplicate data. I haven’t needed to use it yet, but I imagine it could become very useful in the future. I also have the same set up in the cli on the server, largely so I can roll back in case some random person happens upon it and decides to destroy everything in my Minecraft server (which is public and doesn’t have a whitelist…). It’s pretty easy to set up and since it can back up over the internet, its something you could easily use for a whole family.

My home server (with a bunch of used parts plus a computer from the local university surplus store) was probably about ~170$ in total (i7 6700, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, 8tb hdd) and is enough to host all of the stuff I have (very light modded MC with geyser, a gitlab instance, and the backup) very easily, but it is very much not expandable (the case is quite literally tiny and I don’t have space to leave it open, I could get a pcie storage controller but the psu is weak and there aren’t many sata ports), probably not all that future proof either, and definitely isn’t something I would trust to perform well with AI models.

this (sold out now) is the hdd I got, I did a lot of research and they’re supposed to be super reliable. I was worried about noise, but after getting one I can say that as long as it isn’t within 4 feet of you you’ll probably never hear it.

Anyways, it’s always nice to really do something the proper way and have something fully future proof, but if you just need to host a few light things you can probably cheap out on the hardware and still get a great experience. It’s worth noting that a normal Minecraft server, backups, and a document editor for example are all things that you can run on a Raspberry Pi if you really wanted to. I have absolutely no experience using a NAS, metasearch, or heavy mods however, those might be a lot harder to get fast for all I know.

if drowning out other things was the intention, its probably working
