I didn’t think of it that way… but yeah that makes sense. They obviously think this is the top of the market and it can only go down. Why else would you force major brands to lock in here?

Yeah it was number 2 at the box office. The only reason that’s a failure is if they set expectations wrong. Sounds like they wanted it to fail.


Yes that was my point. It was just another superhero movie and still number 2. They put in minimal effort and still somehow tripped into the number two spot, but they’re still crying that it’s not enough.


I can confirm, found an old disk from ~15 years ago, was excited to see what was on it. In a jewel case and everything, but completely unreadable :(


and while we had constant outrage from Recall, I assume we’ll hear nothing about this from people


With executives so far up their own asses, nothing will ever meet “expectations”. Ffs its number two at the box office even though its more superhero bull, but still not good enough for them.
That’s where I am okay with hardware, but can’t seem to fit the models on my 3090. I have dreams of something like an A100 someday, but not until there’s a ton of used ones that hit the market. What do you use for your hardware?


I knew Topaz was getting shitty when they stopped developing their Linux version of their software, this just confirms it. Too bad, it was a decent product.
Yeah it’s heresy on Lemmy, but I do find it genuinely useful. My only regret is that I have to use Claude/Anthropic more than I’d like, which is why I have a vested interest in selfhosting myself. I’d rather figure out how to run the larger models myself and cut them off completely, but you even begin to mention that here and you’ll get downvoted to hell.


There’s a whole segment who are going unserved because of those high prices. Gamers across the board and enthusiasts, the entire consumer market, because RAM is too expensive. Someone else figures out how to make RAM at scale and undercut the fake inflation of the cartel could make billions easily. That’s money sitting on the table.


That’s what I’m guessing. The consumer market is a multi-billion dollar industry. If Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynex are too big for it now, that’s them leaving money on the table for others. Smaller companies will kick up, like those in China, and they’ll gladly take the money left for them. It’ll just take a while for them to get there.
I like the AI tag idea. I’m someone who has what I’d call a noderate approach to AI, not an AI bro but any means but I’m also okay with some things built with AI if they’re done with care. If others don’t want to see it, fine, then that’s what a tag could be useful with. However the fuck AI/slop comments on something that admits to being AI is annoying to me. (We know it’s AI, they literally said it is).
If it becomes too much content, then yes would be okay with bi-forcating the community, buy only after it becomes a problem.


I like how aAanah Pearce put it. (Summarized) GTA online makes obscene amounts of money, like crazy amounts. Personally I’m not someone who wants to spend money on online, but others do. When you think about it, rockstar is able to build things like red dead redemption 2 thanks to the online players. Games do cost money to build, and it’s directly thanks to online players that they’ve had enough money to build these games for us.
I like this take. Is GTA Online slimy? Probably, and it can even lean on greedy. But people still pay for it, and thanks to them rdr2 and now gta6 were funded. The fact that GTA 6 has a single player experience proves they’re still committed together single player narratives, but at the end of the day they need to fund them. So thanks online players for funding our single player experiences.


Yeah I want to see this next to the CEO complaining that no one wants to buy anything on his store


Very neat! I’ll try it out sometime. What does it use for a boot device? Cache drive?


That’s pretty neat that the TPM can be used that way, maybe worth migrating over. The flash drive always made me so nervous.
So after the migration, my boot drive and flash drive could both fail, and I could plug in a new unraid boot/flash drive, it’d read my license, and it’d just work?


Neat, what did your setup look like? You mentioned the qwen harness? Run it all on one machine?


Do you find you can do coding tasks with it well?
Yeah, I do 4k gaming and have a beast of a rig, and even then I barely get it up there. Cyberpunk still struggles years later.
