BaculumMeumEst··on Leak claims RTX 5090 has 600W TGP, RTX 5080 hits 400W
The nice thing about Studio Display is that it's exactly 2X the resolution of 1440p, so that resolution works very nicely on it. Definitely want to give GFN a shot too though, thanks for the recommendation.

The library of games suck on Mac, but I realized my backlog has gotten so huge that I will still never run out of games that run well on there. I've got BG3 in my backlog, but I figure I'll wait until I get a new machine in a few years before I try running it.

My work machine is a M2 Max and I have a studio display. Every day I fight the temptation to install Steam and load up No Man's Sky on it...

I used to do this too, now I mostly just game on Apple hardware or on Switch, which feels like the logical progression of what I was going for with less fuss.

I personally game a bit but I spend more time these days experimenting with deep learning so I would pay a premium for extra VRAM on my home machine.

Does it really? I keep thinking that they could just slap on 32G of VRAM on a midrange card and they would get roaring enthusiast support. I'm guessing the only reason they don't do that is to not encroach on their more expensive ML cards?

I hate bullshit clickbait articles because they train everyone to skip the article and read the comments, which makes discourse worse and everyone dumber.

what quant are you running for that rig? i've been running q4, not sure if I can bump that up to q5 across the board (or if it's worth it in general)

That's like asking about the job market for hammers.

That's interesting, thanks for the context. I think it takes a unique kind of arrogance to self-diagnose medical problems w/ no knowledge or understanding of what you are talking about, and while I love this country I think that arrogance is in high supply here. Many people here aren't aware that it creates a huge strain on physicians or don't care because they think the world revolves around themselves.

It's not about you.

Andrej Karpathy has a youtube playlist:

He is building new learning materials under his new company "Eureka Labs":

All of these resources are excellent.

You are proving my point talking about the percentage of deaths caused by medical errors. If you had 100,000 people receive medical care, 10 die, and 5 of them are due to medical errors, then sure, you could spin that as "50% of deaths were caused by medical errors". Never mind the context, never mind the fact that we are actually able to identify the errors in the first place!

So again, if you want to ignore the safeguards that we've built for good reason - take your business to Tijuana.

> The infantilization of the public in the name of “safety” is offensive and ridiculous.

It comes from dealing with the public.

> In many countries, you can get the vast majority of medicines at the pharmacy without a prescription. Amazingly, people still pay doctors and don’t just take random medications without consulting medical professionals.

I see people on this site of allegedly smart people recommending taking random medications ALL THE TIME. Not only without consulting medical professionals, but _in spite of medical professional's advice_, because they think they _know better_.

Let's roll out the unbelievably dumb idea of selling self-diagnosis AI on radiology scans in the countries you’re referring to and ask them how it works out. If you want the freedom to shoot from the hip on your healthcare, you've got the freedom to move to Tijuana. We're not going to subject our medical professionals to deal with an onslaught of confidently wrong individuals who are armed with their $40 AI results from an overhyped startup. Those startups can make their case to the providers directly and have their tools vetted.

I’ll try anything once! Probably not the sleeping part, though, I elevate in the other direction because of heartburn…

Wut? Never heard of this. How are you increasing blood pressure on your head? Are you hanging upside down?

Stupid question: is their 7B model available? Is there public inference code that we could run? Or do they not usually release them along with these kinds of papers?

Watching people try to force Rust adoption everywhere over the last decade has been watching a car crash unfold at 0.00000001X speed.
BaculumMeumEst··on Core: an experimental new way to write videogames
To be fair, a lot of successful projects are an overengineered mess and lack any sort of clear structure.

Kudos for trying something cool, this is a space a lot of people are interested in. Thanks for sharing it.

What would tip the scales to justify including an ad-blocker in Safari by default?

No. By the power vested in me, I hereby permit you to keep your project's name, and to point at this man and laugh at him.
BaculumMeumEst··on Nikon sold more Z9 cameras in its first year than any flagship in past 15 years
I was confused as to why this hit the front page of hackernews, so I checked submitter history to see if it looked like astroturfing. Now I'm even more confused.
BaculumMeumEst··on Have ‘hobby’ apps become the new social networks?
I mean if you're creepy about it, sure, but as long as you can pick up on social cues you can feel it out without rubbing anyone the wrong way.

I think curating an internet community that is open-minded and participates in good faith is extremely hard as well. Not sure which is harder.

So jealous! God I loved that machine. Used them a lot in libraries and always wanted to have my own.
BaculumMeumEst··on Nvidia GeForce 256 is 25 years old
I think so! That was one of the magazines I was subscribed to. And ohhhhh my god I forgot about All in Wonder. I definitely had one of those at some point.

I remember full page ads for this card featuring deus ex in my gaming magazines. I wanted one so bad. I think I had an ATI card at the time.
BaculumMeumEst··on The vagus nerve orchestrates the mind-body connection
This has to be super common. My wife and I both are acutely aware of acid reflux causing flutters and other weirdness. During her pregnancy it got worse, and after a full cardiac workup her doctor's best guess was interaction w/ the vagus nerve.

Oh that’s interesting to know! I guess I gel better with bottom up. As soon as I start seeing API functions I don’t understand I immediately want to know how they work!
BaculumMeumEst··on Building LLMs from the Ground Up: A 3-Hour Coding Workshop
For sure! In both cases I imagine it is a conscious choice where the teachers thought about the trade-offs of each option. Both have their merits. Whenever you write learning material you have to decide where to draw the line of how far you want to break down the subject matter. You have to think quite hard about exactly who you are writing for. It's really hard to do!

But I mean people can always rent GPUs too. And they're getting pretty ubiquitous as we ramp up from the AI hype craze, I am just an IT monkey at the moment and even I have on-demand access to a server with something like 4x192GB GPUs at work.
