I suspect you'd lose the sense of depth that helps make the plane feel less small. There's also a safety factor for situational awareness; many carriers require shades to be open for the cabin crew to figure out the safest side to evacuate on in an emergency.

I like to think that the heating, much like their ideal govermental oversight, would have no regulation. I can almost hear the anguished cries of pool goers when a new model gets released and the temperature spikes.

PHP is ancient in the current timeline of programming history. The Venn diagram of your code base and what it digested during training is basically a circle.

I'm afraid prompts and clever arrangements of data don't really negate the parent post warnings. It's great if it works for you and your projects. Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee your approach will break down once you get a project large enough or switch to a less popular language.

My favorite example is Godot; most local models just can't get it through their thick AI skull that code alone won't be enough to generate working solutions. They must accept a more complex harness, or you must provide much more info that eats the precious available context on every run.

I gotta agree. I setup a homelab originally to start learning more about virtualization, Kubernetes, etc. It was painful, required time to fix my mistakes, and I hit my head on the ugly realities of distributed hardware. But it was also experience I could (and did) apply to my job.

Damn. That was boring. Putting all updates on autopilot is certainly a choice. But, hey, it's their homelab.

Pretty much every example is considered an abysmal failure that often costed the actual workers their careers while their CEO carried on.

If you consider that outcome a worthwhile endeavor, I don't know what else to say.

Eh, zero guarantees on that one.

The Fire Phone was Jeff Bezos' personal baby, and we know how that went. Then there was the Apple G4 Cube with Steve Jobs, the Model X' Falcon Wing doors and Elon, and lets not even talk about the Metaverse and Zuck.

Regardless of what you or I think of the policy, most major software companies (Google included) have clauses in your employment contract around how you represent the company in a real or percieved official capacity. This wasn't just some account persona; it was published as if it were an official open source product endorsed by Google (complete with branding). The author apparently didn't have permission or legal right to do so, and publicly violated their agreement.

Was the response short sighted? Up for debate. But unfortunately for the author, they have no real legal standing on this matter. Had it been their own repo, sans any branding, it would likely have been fine.

I mean, to be fair, some "super resolution" solutions for image generation do subdivide things into tiles to be re-done at a higher fidelity.

SSD prices in 2018. GPU prices after the first crypto crash in 2018 and again after the Ethereum merge in 2022. The AMD Zen disruption of 2017.

Retailers are mostly free to offer things at whatever prices they want. But the market has more power than you may think to correct it.

Some of the folks who give running commentaries on matches make it entertaining even if you don't play. Derp, Gyle, Willow; I've spent way more hours listening to their humorous takes on plays and strategies than I would care to admit. And frankly, it's the "average joes" of the game (lower ranked players) whom don't really follow the meta that often make it the most entertaining.

I find using something that puts a display right in front of me also works, like Xreal glasses. I'm not super susceptible to car sickness, but it has hit me in the past. However, with a "heads up display", I never even feel the early warning signs.

Love Linux, but Nvidia drivers are still shit on it. I'm not willing to take a performance hit for the convenience. Which I guess is a little ironic, given you left Windows over AMD driver issues.

The last time I had instability on a Nvidia card in Windows turned out to be a faulty card I had to RMA.

It helps cover the time between you hitting 'install' and however long their audit team takes to arrive at your doorstep.

This isn't terribly practical. Yes, we can deal with heat. The trouble is cost, and dealing with high energy radiation both flipping bits and corrupting the silicon.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

Meta: We created the portable Occular Torment Nexus. We believe you should always be present in the Nexus, even with others around you. And thanks to our partnership with Popular Glasses Company, you can be tormented in style!

Don't forget the optional voxel models! They did some really cool stuff with Build. I loved some of the creative uses of things like controllable vehicles (sometimes with guns!).

Solomon seems to give a glimpse into a life of "what happens if the only challenges you have are the ones you freely pick?" He had everything one could dream of and more, including an unprecedented era of peace.

Yet he struggled to pass the time. Having the equivalent of billions of [insert favorite currency here], most folks fantasize about the ideal life. We often believe all of our immediate problems go away, free to do whatever we want. Yet, at least in Solomon's case, he seemed to become incredibly fed up with these grand projects and plans of his own devise.

While I certainly wouldn't mind a fraction of that wealth myself, I do recall my college weekends. Free to spend time however I pleased, with my basic needs met and no homework looming, I spent hours playing my favorite video games. And yet, no matter how good they were, I remember how dull and boring they eventually became in only a few hours.

Heat is where the math breaks down. If you examine the heat the ISS is able to deal with (about 70 KW) vs say a H200 SXM5 (700W), you can stick a grand total of 100 units there, or about 12 nodes. This isn't even accounting for supporting infrastructure, compute, etc., nor are we taking a power source into account.

Either there's a revolutionary heat dissipation system in the works they're keeping a secret, or my ass is getting a smoke rash.

The Lightroom competitor would be a big (and welcome) change to the market if it delivers.

That's how its always been. The loop just wasn't as efficient a few decades ago.

What about 'in'? index()? There are at least 3 canonical methods for basic string searches, and 8 if your include the more specialized forms (all of which are considered solutions).

Please refrain from personal attacks here. Save that for less reputable forums.

Are you saying you bring your desktop on a train ride as well? Laptops with encryption make sense; if you need to encrypt your desktop, I have questions.

I recall the INI files of Red Alert were an open book for modding the game mechanics. I had spies with silenced pistols and "tesla cufflinks". It was really fun making crates spawn super frequently. I also vaguely recall making one of the planes into a nuke carpet bombers (fun, but the forced delay each time a nuke went off was a tad annoying).

Then there were the Duke Nukem 3D CON files...

Thanks; I assumed the author was talking about an Nvidia Tesla M4 (hence my confusion and assumption that they meant the M40 series, which has 24GB of VRAM).

Ah, thank you. I was assuming a Nvidia Tesla M4.

I'm puzzled. The M4, as far as I know, doesn't have 24GB. Did the author mean a M40?

I'll never forget the trailers for Ultima Online 2 back in 2000. Ironically, their choice of accompanying music had the line "this is not superstition".

I never realized this demo was in the expansion pack.

This wouldn't surprise me at all, but I'd appreciate evidence to that effect.
