Switching to something rolling release makes sense. My Arch setup (btw) has always felt much more stable than when I was using Ubuntu, because with Ubuntu I’d inevitatebly run into a bug, find out it was fixed months ago but won’t be backported, and then either live with it or try custom-installing the newer version of that thing. Or I’d install something manually that expected dependency X be the latest version, etc.
My friend is an indie game developer and he once told me the typical refund rate, which I think was only a little lower than this. I don’t think the game length is playing that large a role here, rather people use that refund policy as a way to try out a game (like a demo). Probably most of the people who refunded wouldn’t have bought it in the first place without that refund policy, so he shouldn’t really view this as “because of this policy I lost 55K sales”.
Short answer is yes, it requires hardware that to my knowledge isn’t available on normal consumer motherboards.
Of course, but a generation of homeowners grew up learning that, barring short disruptions, home prices always go up. Nevermind that this was largely due to interest rates steadily dropping since the 80s, reaching basically 0% during Covid.
Since there isn’t really room for interest rates to drop anymore people shouldn’t expect home prices to rise faster than incomes rise, but it’s going to be hard to undo 30 years of observation.
Unless it becomes cheaper than having a datacenter on earth per quanity of compute, it won’t happen in any meaningful scale even if these issues are solved.
I bet they would be (against Valve) if a competitor donated to Republicans. I mean, they’re keeping a finished bridge they paid $0 for closed because the owner of a competing, tolled bridge donated to them. Of course they’ll open an investigation into a smallish leftish leaning company if a large donor asked them to.
I don’t think DDR4 is significantly cheaper. Plus, they would have had to go a CPU generation back too then and I think the AMD CPUs of that generation had way worse integrated graphics, so now you’d need a dedicated GPU as well.
What does it mean for a project to deserve the [AI] tag? This matters, because you may have a lot of projects where a developer may think “no” and someone else thinks “yes”. Some examples from my day job:
In these examples the developer carefully reviews the AI’s output, which I think distinguishes it from vibe-coded slop, which at least is what I want to ignore.
It’s also worth noting that an open-source project may receive and incorporate a well-written contribution where the human developer used AI carefully like this. Unless they disclosed that they used AI, it may be unknowable to the project maintainers whether their project is [AI] or not, depending on how you define it. What tag should these projects use?
I don’t know about the background updates, but the HDMI CEC allows for the device and the TV to sync with each. Think like adjusting the volume on the TV adjusting the volume on the soundbar, or your Steam machine to turn on when you turned on your TV. To my knowledge this required specific hardware normal consumer motherboards don’t support.
Here’s a write up that, eventually, gets to the RNG stuff. https://tck.mn/blog/correlated-randomness-sts2/
I think the Tl;dr though is that the way they set their RNGs up were with seed=run_seed + hash(“rng instance name”); this meant that all of the rngs they used had seeds that were constant offsets to each other. The PRNG algorithm they were using (C# standard library) happens to have a property where if you shift the seed by some constant, your rng’s output shifts by a linear amount corresponding to that. As a result, all the rngs for what are supposed to be independent things were basically all giving the same results just offset to each other.
It’s not like Rust is using ChatGPT to rewrite the std crate. You’d prefer that they not compensate the humans actually improving the project?
Worth noting that the Linux source is updated and collaborated with via email, not GitHub. The Linux repo on GitHub is a read-only mirror.
One solution for the ending would be if they advance the simulation by a couple trillion years in an instant. Then the layer below them, and very likely themselves, can feel safe that their universe won’t just end because the computer above them turned off. Then they can go and behave as if they’re the top-layer, as they will be for subsequent simulations they perform.
The one downside is that they then can’t expect any help or benevolence from the layer above them, but in my opinion if you realize that your universe is being simulated on a 1 week-old experimental processor, you should want it to finish simulating your universe’s remaining history asap before it breaks down for whatever reason.
I’m top-left (my job pays well, it’s engaging, and it has a positive impact on the world).
I have some friends in a 5th category that are hyper-busy with traveling, social engagements, etc. I feel like I have to book time with them weeks in advance.
Yeah, that’s why I think AWS can’t support this situation. If the US doesn’t drop their order, I think the only way Anthropic could commercialize these models would be if they disallowed any API usage and tied authentication to developer-specific accounts. So your employer might pay for every eligible employee to have an account, and Anthropic validates their citizenship, but there’s no using Fable for automated code review or QA or whatever; all use must be restricted and tied to specific authorized humans. That completely rules out AWS.
Well right now the model is entirely turned off, but it seems the US government wants Anthropic (and I guess as a result AWS) to first verify that you have US citizenship before they’ll enable it on your account. It’s not just blocking on where your IP is located; non-US citizens living in the United States are supposed to be denied access. So in your scenario, AWS wouldn’t enable Fable on your account until I guess you show them your passport or something. Though I think even that won’t be enough; what if the AWS account is for an America company and later they have a non-US citizen employee? I’m not sure AWS Bedrock can support this use-case.
Every party hates floor-crossing unless they benefit from it. This proposal doesn’t quite make sense though - what if to bypass it, an MP from party A announces that while they can’t join party B, they’ll just “independently” happen to vote alongside it? Are you going to strip that MP of their vote? At that point just get rid of MPs and give their votes to the party leaders.
Why are you trying to contribute to Reddit by posting / voting? While I still use Reddit (after Lemmy) I make a point to never vote or comment or contribute in any way whatsoever. They rely on contributors to power their network, so don’t contribute.
Compared to i3 it is, but I admit that’s not a fair comparison as i3 is going for a very specific style that is cheap to implement.
It’s “200” (200th episode). S10E06. Basically the characters are imagining different TV shows that could be based on their experiences. The puppets are only a short part of that episode.
