AMD has done a bit of open source driver and software stuff, but their chips aren't any more open AFAIK.

I think it's fine to have some less commonly used actions be only accessible through a terminal, even on more user-friendly distros. That is basically what Minecraft does, and yet no one's scared of that.

It dissolves in water, so you can also just let things soak for a while. Glue stick is made of the same polymer that people use to print dissolvable support material.

Glue stick washes off in about 30 seconds. I wouldn't want to use it all the time, but for just 1 part it won't inconvenience you very much.

The ti-84 plus is based on the zilog z80. From 1976. The calculator is still being made, and still costs $100.

Better calculators just use floating point math with a few tricks on top to pretend it isn't floating point math.

I was thinking about this a bit yesterday and I think the most feasible way would be to suspend a glass sheet above the lake, and then give people harnesses with magnets on the top that attach to magnets on the other side of the glass sheet. Then just put ball bearings on both sides to reduce friction.

You could try to use magnetism or something tho, although that means you'd only be able to walk on specially prepared lakes

Unless there's force coming from somewhere other than buoyancy, you can't get better than than 1.29 kg per cubic meter of lift in air at stp.

I agree, I think generative AI is insanely cool technology (and if a new local one comes out I'll probably play with it for a bit) but I can't see image generation at least ever being a net positive for humanity until we get some sort of welfare state.

Currently the negative effects are mitigated by it being relatively easy to tell ai images apart from real images, and since ai images take almost no effort to make, they have naturally become an instant sign marking low effort content wherever they are used. When people stop being able to tell ai images apart is when it will start to become a problem.

Well, air weighs a little bit more than 1 kilogram per cubic meter, and those balloons look a little bit smaller than a cubic meter

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

 

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)

I've often seen this sort of thing in videos advertising GI in minecraft shaders, and tried it out in blender.

 

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.
