shocking: users of open-source reddit alternative like open-source things

Oh no, I’m sure there won’t be anyone else who would like to be CEO if they quit.

Mozilla could definitely be putting their development time into the areas that the browser is actually behind in

I use firefox, I mostly like it, but it still doesn’t support chromium style tab groups (no, that one extension is not similar), and its webgpu implementation also doesn’t work on most websites more than a year after Google made their version available by default

I got some used chromebooks on Ebay for $40 each (3855u, 4gb ram, 32gb ssd), I would recommend them if you don’t have any money to spend on a laptop. It’s not going to be running anything super demanding, but its shocking how much it can do.

Some things I have run on it and had a decent experience: Blender, FreeCAD, Portal, TMNF through proton, Celeste, Minecraft Java, MuseScore

yea, thinkpads aren’t the only laptops that can be bought used

there’s someone who uploaded this same meme before the reddit thing but instead of 2000 it said 20

edit: I was linked to the post a few months ago maybe but I can’t find it now

The intent comes from the person who writes the prompt and selects/refines the most fitting image it makes

yea, IDK how it works as I’ve never had a computer back then, but the quoted reply makes it sound like getting a sound card would take load off of the CPU.

Not in the same way, as you aren’t using the integrated gpu at all if you get an external one. I guess if you’re talking about shared ram this makes sense though.

I’m using a cheap one of those from amazon for my headphones on my laptop because the audio jack suddenly stopped recognizing when headphones were plugged in. (although I still get a dmesg error log when I stick a q-tip in to the jack? If anyone knows how to debug this, please tell me)

I don’t care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.

I think its largely the chip manufacturers, but ARM is still making money on licensing fees for Nvidia’s new ai chip (with an integrated 72 core arm cpu) for example

ARM is in the perfect place where, if a company using their architecture succeeds, they get tons of money, and if the company fails, they lose nothing.

Apple has published papers on small LLM models and multimodal models already. I would be surprised if they aren’t using them for on-device processing.

it seems like the physical limits in the strength of cubes are probably becoming a problem lol

Those are some pretty beefy motors. Its interesting that they don’t have a link to a product page for the motors on the video, as I assume that was the primary justification for the project.

Are a wiki and a discord mutually exclusive? They seem to fill very different roles.

Doesn’t a 3070 have less than 7k cores? A UHD 750 (relatively recent iGPU) only has 256.

And I don’t know the structure of JSON that well, but can’t tokens be made of multiple chars?

It really reads like it was written by AI. I’ve never been to linkedin, maybe everyone talks like that there but it really sounds like it was written by ChatGPT

At least meta AI actually releases most of their models, and publishes research papers about the ones they don’t.

The gap between the wheels in the trolley in the image is much smaller than the gap between the tracks in the image. Still, depending on the amount of friction of the road surface and the wheels, it could either stop safely, tip over and kill people inside, or keep going and run over everyone. I assume it isn’t going that fast though because that turn is very sharp and the trolley would derail itself on that turn if it was going at speed.
