From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hold on! I'm currently booting the kernel mentally. I've been at this for 2 weeks now....

i can run doom at 120fps with full ray tracing and Dolby surround sound, you just gotta take my word on it.

All it takes is a little hypnosis and a bunch of LSD.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah man, I just think B:/run doom.exe

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Forward slash doesn't throw a mental syntax error? ;)

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago

Nah, I'm running AussieOS, they're flipped.

Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it's more like head-only rendering 😆

I can run a mod of doom with photorealistic graphics, all I need is a shotgun and a chainsaw.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I am a neural network that can generate highly photorealistic frames of Doom that seem like real life. I have no output port so these images cannot be seen by others.

So you don’t support Wayland yet?

Hold on, I just need to clear a mental blockage: https://youtube.com/shorts/QSbUK1XzgCc?si=Ld8HkfJj4KDwloDr

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

Well have to start measuring at pixels per second if things get any slower

[–] ashley@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

*seconds per pixel

At last I'll be able to get a decent accuracy score despite my oyster-like reflexes :)

Obligatory does it run doom comment

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 65 points 2 years ago

We don't know yet, the first frame has been rendering for the last two weeks.

[–] bluemite@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

It will run Doom at 60 frames per year

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Next stop, we will make installing Linux on a Dead badger a reality.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

The nucleosome is Turing complete, so any day now.

[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Doesn't count until it runs doom.

The 4004 is that tiny dip-16 chip the the top left, second box marked CPU. A working 4004 is worth around $300+ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=intel+4004

They are quite the collectors item as the first microprocessor

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

[–] freeman@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

6 W of power but no AND and OR The energyprices have to go up some more for me accept that trade off...

That's a question a hacker shouldn't ever ask.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Doesn't*

They're so preoccupied with wether they could, that they never stopped to think wether they should

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions. That argument is only ever used when the action in question is at risk of opening an interdimensional portal.

Oh, Doom, right...

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This reads like an anti AI blurb...

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your post read like AI to me, hence the first sentence.

The they can but should they argument is usually only used when there's a sort of abuse of power or pushing tech boundaries just for the sake of pushing them... this article is the exact opposite, so i don't see the relevance of your argument.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was making a joke with leisesprecher's comment, is all.

Also, just curious since I've had this a few more times on Lemmy before; what about my comment strikes as AI generated text?

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Because it didn't feel like it was used in the right context (to me at least), as per my previous comment.

When it takes 5 days to boot, you don’t have time to wait for IF statements

Or rather to find out if you can.

Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming

Emulator again?
