At least they have VR working right! Adding insult to irony, the new F-35 retrofit is reported to run a UNIX-like OS, too :p

CUDA runs on most recent Nvidia GPUs, which are replete on college campuses and well-supported in server software. AMD's GPGPU compute support differs from GPU to GPU, and Apple didn't start contributing acceleration patches to Py

Constant maintenance does not entail running an OS on their servers and RDPing into it. I have a capable machine, I can service it myself. If Microsoft wants to EOL OSes after a one-time purchase, that is their prerogative. There is a disti

With that in mind, what would a truly apolitical representation of Tiananmen Square be, in terms of AI training data?

by smoldesu 3y ago
Well, text is political. You're not going to say "Tiananmen Square" without a political sentiment, so your only option would be to censor it. LLMs are text tokenizers, if the majority of it's training material leans libe

Does anyone have examples of particularly "ruined" searches? I keep hearing about these examples but I've never encountered them any more than the SEO-optimized garbage blogspam of the 2010s.

I ran LineageOS on my Nintendo Switch for a few months, and it was uncannily stable. I had accelerated video playback, ran Obsidian and got all my other apps working mostly fine. A good LineageOS build can really change an older device for

For my money, less is more. Minimalist ROMs like LineageOS are a must-have, and when it's not available I use Android Debloater[0]. Usually I bounce all the unnecessary Google/OEM services and install better alternatives like Newp

KDE's Wayland session is fine on Nvidia, at least with my 3070. There used to be more visual artifacts, but everything I'm using works, from CUDA to Mesa to DLSS. The largest remaining bug I'm aware of has to do with how blur

I only have the Quest 1, which in my experience felt closer to a 900p screen in your field of view. Not great, but you could comfortably read a full-sized terminal if you wanted. And of course, you can move your head around to navigate more

In the same way an iPad is, I guess. It's got a browser, you can install apps and do a surprising amount of stuff with it. As-is though, it's not going to change anyone's mind about VR work. You'll still want your laptop

I still don't understand the conflict of interest. Valve is closer to pushbutton game compatibility than Apple, their translation kits are both based on DXVK and they both use tons of Codeweavers code. In a lot of ways, they're re

Sure, but I don't see why adding functionality would be a bad thing. There are thousands of games that will just never be ported away from 32-bit Windows. If Apple doesn't intend to keep those running forever, they should at lea

This. If you insist on being as cheap as possible, shoot for a 12gb card but be aware that you'll be missing out on the throughput of higher-end models. The 3060 is popular for this I think, but you'll probably want a better card

Why? Everyone wants things to "just work", but nobody besides Windows and Xbox users can run native DirectX. Seeing as MacOS and Linux users have to cope with this individually, it makes sense that they would share a lot of the un

Given that "Decker" is not a real word, I'm not quite sure what you're expecting out of people here. The title is about as ambiguous as it can be and doesn't communicate anything about itself besides "Deck&quot
