heh... IMO AI often works better when you ask it "how do/can I?" instead of "do this for me!"

I'd say 2018 ~= 2024 instead of 2014 (those craptops all too often had dual-core i5's and i7's, 15" TN 768 screens, and HDDs), but yeah things have slowed down a bit.

Desktop Ryzen 4's and newer have a very small iGPU that's just enough to put up a desktop (and presumably a framebuffer fast enough to feed a discrete card's output into)

D-Link... has ... software standards?

Yeah it'd be interesting to have a full analog floppy reader/writer for data recovery. Might as well make it fast enough to read early hard drives (at least through early IDE) too. Probably could stuff quite a bit more data usi

Aside from very early prototypes, there were LD singles which were thinner and made more like CD's. Mostly 8" but there were a few 12"s made by Sonopress in Europe.

The source released is for the IBM-started version of DOS 4.0, but most of the talk here is about the Multitasking DOS 4 files (a binary copy of the first beta)

Heck, 32-bit support is gradually eroding away...

They're clocked lower.

Case in point, the Xeon X5698, which was a 2-core 4.4ghz base freq Westmere made just for HFT. The regular ones were 3.6@4C and 3.467@6C, so it was quite a boost.

IIRC pi4 also had VIA USB hub power issues early on.

Yup! I started quite a long time ago (2013 or so), and then Simon Inns in ~2018-2019 built the duplicator and did a great job disseminating things. oyvindln then worked on VHS decoding as well independantly, and there are quite a few other

Subwoofer and/or chair-mounted bass shakers? In any case $x00 and the ability to say 'eh, good enough' in the end should do... ... OTOH my quixotic project was figuring out RF capture of Laserdiscs which involves digging pret

For running AI models etc the 4070ti is the best value of the bunch by far. Memory size and bandwidth are the most important things in that order (which makes the 4050, er, 4060ti 16GB a weak card) Ergo, there's a decent chance it won

They're using LFP batteries here which generally don't puff up and go foom.

Mistral's endpoint for mistral-small is slightly cheaper.

Google has a ton of scanned books and magazines from libraries etc, on top of their own web crawls. If they don't have the equivalent of libgen tucked away something's gone wrong.

Analog audio was first, and video was always analog, but most of the time laserdisc audio playback is literally CD Audio (not merely 16bit/44.1khz but the same intermediate data/error correction/scrambling... even CD-G was

The problem with that is... humanity is doing a good enough job of messing things up without AGI. So if AGI was delayed by such, there's a non-zero chance humanity fails to create AGI or survive in the new timeline. Between the Eart

If it's on the shelf right next to the original, it was probably made by General Mills.

Seeing the AI art might've thrown my senses off, but a lot of this reads like ChatGPT-writing.

Especially these days you have to know how to use/read Google and SO results too. (And I should have said ChatGPT 4 earlier, if you're a bad to medicore developer taking ChatGPT3.5 literally you'll probably wind up in a Very

On the flip side, one can use ChatGPT as only a starting point and to learn from there. One isn't stuck with actually using what it outputs verbtim, and really shouldn't until at least a hypothetical GPT-6 or 7... and to use it

Extending that analogy, imagine what one could do with 128B tokens. On cast off/cheap workstation/server hardware.
