Here are a bunch of local services I’ve used at one point or another from phone to PC or PC to PC. Not sure if any links are out of date.

You do need great hardware, but it depends on your use case. If you want the full 671 billion parameter R1, you need to run it on specialized hardware that has enough RAM.

If you want to run R1 on a phone, you could get the 1.5B parameter R1 running as well. But the quality of results and the speed of response diminish significantly depending on the model and the hardware you use.

In Iceland they run their Bitcoin Mining facilities fully on geothermal energy. I wouldn’t be surprised to find the EU exploring there options regarding new data centers built on renewable energy for quite some time. For now it is a lot faster to train the models within existing data centers that already have the hardware while everyone is actively competing.

Meanwhile governments and corporations are trying to pull money out their ass (cutting important programs) to move mountains and create AGI, of which we have no evidence this is the way to accomplish that.

Hyprland is a right-wing community, because a sole moderator is being a dick to the trans community? Am I reading that correctly? Must be missing some context

I have a pc part picker list for a Steam Machine that’s already done for years now.

It is built around this case: https://louqe.com/products/ghost-s1-mkiii

But there are several great alternative cases as well, if the all black aesthetic isn’t for you. Just building a small computer is the most affordable way to go here.

I’m in the process of building my first LoRa with an old ESP I had lying around. Excited to see where this tech goes

I’ve cloned drives from an existing steam deck onto another brand new drive for a new steam deck. The swap you are doing should work the same without issue.

Now that is more what I had in mind! I’ll definitely be using this, thanks

Always wondered why this wasn’t automated, from an ergonomics perspective, a command that lets me open a shell could detect that no shell exists, and then do as you said, without me having to lift a finger. It’s not very unix-y, but it could be a sort of plug-in for Docker CLIs.

I agree they are good. But his content is the opposite of “a short 15-30 minute video on a topic”. He has like 2 hour long videos where he talks about dishwashing.

I wish it was the year of Linux, and they get 90%+ market share overnight when Gabe Newell announces you can play Half Life 3 exclusively on Steam OS, which includes in-game copies of The Winds of Winter, Doors of Stone, an English translation of Mother 3, and footage of 10 seasons of Firefly that had secretly been produced in private for Gabe.

The downside is they start the enshittification process immediately. The DRMs get worse, then the ads come, and finally the lawsuits and psyops on distros that treat us well and give us options.

It’s great when you have a problem and you just stumble upon a solution on Lemmy out of nowhere.

Our maintainer,
who art in the AUR,
blessed be thy PKGBUILD.

Thy updates roll,
thy configs persist,
on / as it is in ~/.config.

Give us this day our daily pacman -Syu,
and forgive us our broken mirrors,
as we forgive those who fail to read the wiki.

Lead us not into dependency hell,
but deliver us from bloat.

For thine is the minimal base,
the freedom of customization, and the inevitability of btw, I use Arch,
forever and ever.

And it would still not have any software designed for it that makes it worth the purchase.

I stand corrected, looks like it was iOS 13 and newer that offered support for this, so it could go all the way back to the SE.

It’s also extremely naive of anyone who has played the games. Ciri is the obvious choice to continue the story. Half of the books are about her, and as Geralt’s only kid, who better to tell the story of what comes next. Especially seeing as she is the only young person alive trained in the ways of a Witcher at the end of the 3rd game.

MacBooks delay charging past 80% because in most cases you don’t actually need it, and it’ll extend the battery life. You can disable it in settings if you want though, I use Al Dente instead to manage my battery.

iPhone 15 and newer do the same.

As someone who has a formal education in Computer Engineering, I can attest that the degree is essentially a combination of modern Electrical Engineering and Computer Science degrees. In other words it is a dual major without any of the benefits.

Not all Software Engineers do actual engineering and that’s okay. The only problems I’ve seen with this in my time in the tech industry is when you have someone who can talk the talk, but when it comes time to do the difficult mental work, they fold like a deck of cards, or worse release a product that’s half-baked. You will see this a lot when a boot camp churns out talent hoping to make a quick buck and then they are given a truly important and hard problem to solve, such as healthcare or military applications.

For that reason, many SWE roles require education to be specified on resumes, rather than certifications as a hoop you have to jump through. If your job did not question your education when you were interviewing then that is usually a good indicator of the kinds of people you will be working with. With all of that said I’ve worked with many engineers that did not have a formal education and were very talented, some of which lied about their education to get where they are today. This happens frequently across all industries however, and isn’t unique to software.

I had a similar experience in the last year. They basically try to trick you into paying. They know exactly what they are doing too.

This one time a few years ago I literally went in for a check up (first time all year) to find I had a completely new doctor assigned to me. And I couldn’t even make this shit up if I tried. The new doctor was not in my network, they did not inform me during my visit, and he tried to get me to do shit (upcharge) that fortunately I outright refused the entire time we spoke.

When the bill came they tried to charge me out of network prices, and I basically fought them for six months saying that it was a surprise bill until they finally gave up. I don’t plan on ever going back to that office again in my life.
