The Steam Deck price in Canada went up by something like 50% yesterday also - it's now over $1100 for the 512GB OLED, up from just under $700.

> The best camera is the one you have with you. This is why I ended up picking up an (admittedly quite expensive) Ricoh GR IV. It's tiny enough to take with me everywhere, has a modern APS-C sensor and great IBIS.

Nothing says you have to use the same browser at work and outside of work? I use Edge for work, Firefox everywhere else.

Out of interest, what are you seeing for token generation - especially as the context fills?

by bpye 5mo ago
At least today, it isn't practical for most people to run these models locally- I think adding a dependency on a cloud service is different enough to some local (possibly open source) tool like an IDE.

> Putting compute in space is expensive but so is building a data center in the US. You know what's also really hard in a vacuum? Dissipating heat.

I believe the Mali graphics also require a blob if you want 3D acceleration.

There are definitely projects where getting a full test pass can take a day or two. I worked on one where we only got a full run each weekend, and if someone broke the tests? Nobody gets their results...

My B580 works fine on Linux. Graphics perf is a bit worse than under Windows, but supposedly compute is pretty much the same.

Over the last two years I bought 2 4TB SSDs, 64GB DDR5 ECC UDIMM and 4 14TB HDDs. I couldn't justify buying any of them today.

I would love to have some way to configure the USW Flex Minis without the controller software. I can't find any other small PoE powered switches for a similar cost.

You can definitely get PCIe on some micro PCs. I have a Lenovo m920q that I use with a Mellanox NIC as my router. You could certainly install a SAS or SATA controller, the issue would be having somewhere to mount the drives, and a way to po

I run it on my RK3588 based MNT Pocket Reform. I have to force the GL ES 2 backend because of, presumably, Panfrost bugs, but otherwise it runs well despite the fairly weak CPU and GPU.

They did improve this in more recent generations, but you need a W series chipset to use it.

There are 16" laptops with ECC, you can get a ThinkPad P16 with it for example. I've yet to find any 14" devices with ECC though.

Similar experience. I played with overclocking the DDR5 ECC memory I have on my system, it would appear to be stable and for quite a while it would be. But after a few days I'd notice a handful of correctable errors. I now just run at

I believe caches and maybe registers often have ECC too though I'm sure there are still gaps.

50W average doesn't seem absurd, peak power is going to be an order of magnitude higher, but computers are often running pretty close to idle...

Are the instructions missing, or does iOS just not run the hypervisor? I suppose we'll find out pretty soon, supporting virtualization would be important if they wanted to sell these to CS students that need eg. Docker.

A bootloader exploit at that, and we haven't had one of those in years.

You don't need to be writing assembly. Anything sharing memory between multiple threads could have bugs with ARM's memory model, even if written in C, C++, etc.

As someone that uses a YubiKey for WebAuthN - I really wish Bitwarden didn't do this. I know I can turn it off, but it's a bad default.

The packaging might be different, but they're still competing for the same fab capacity.

I can run proper uBlock Origin in Firefox on Android. Sure something like Pihole works, but I am often on mobile data or other WiFi networks.

It "works" but it is significantly less useful. Notification mirroring doesn't work, you can't read/respond to text messages, it can't reliably run in the background. These are all due to limitations imposed by

I switched back to Android in large part for KDE Connect. You can get continuity esque features that work with any desktop operating system. I also get to use real Firefox instead of a Safari wrapper. I still use as few Google services as p

Finding something with symbols will help a lot. Symbols end up getting left in Linux and macOS builds fairly often. The reverse engineering I've learned has generally been to fix something that has annoyed me - for example I reverse en

Very true! I spent a few months using OpenBSD and nvi as my primary environment, and actually ended up pretty productive with it.
