Will you sign my petition?

That seems to require a level of foresight and planning that most corporations don’t have. That’s almost like a blueprint for failure when some middle manager changes the scope of a project with a hard coded time limit, IMO.

Anyone interested in not-agile development? Maybe we can call it “Ship it when it’s ready” lol

Ancient developer here / not really a coder, but what the hell is “Agile” software development?

Is it some kind of pseudonym for pushing buggy, untested code to a production server or something?

Like a speed run category for software development?

Try using a 1-bit LLM to test the article’s claim.

The perplexity loss is staggering. It’s like 75% accuracy lost or more. It turns a 30 billion parameter model into a 7 billion parameter model.

Highly recommended that you try to replicate their results.

I have unironically used Winamp since 2003, and I continue to do so now, even with a lossless passthrough DAC, lol

Listen, sometimes democracy needs a little helping hand, or in this case, a giant …

Who am I kidding, we’ve learned our lesson.

Right? Right?

Vote.

I love Lemmy

Sure, I’ll try OpenSUSE!

Tumbleweed is a bit of a spooky name for a distro implying that a gentle breeze sends it, but y’know

Linux Mint as someone suggested, I’ve ran a long time ago for college on an ancient laptop, and it’s an extreme stable OS, similar to Windows 2000 Pro. I can’t remember it crashing or freezing even once on me, and the Thinkpad T42 has an anemic processor., which I ran with the Conservative Governor

I’m actually a little scared of running Linux on modern, fast hardware.

How is multi-GPU driver support?

My main machine is a 900 TFlops compute monster (4 GPUs) running ROCM on Windows, and the last time I’d tried Manjaro on Desktop, it seized up for unknown reasons.

I’ve got asynchronous monitors - 1440p@165Hz main display and 4K@85Hz flipped vertical for a side monitor. Occasionally, I plug in a projector which is 1080p, mirrored to the 4K, but flipped horizontal.

I’m not sure what I’d done wrong because it works perfectly on my 11 year old Z575 (Debian+KDE there).

What distro would you recommend for an extremely fast/high RAM machine? I’ve got 128GB of main system memory, and 4TB of M.2 for a system disk running at 7.6 gigabytes/second actual/real-world RW I/O.

I mean, wouldn’t you?

The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.

Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it’s easy to use with your feet. That’s why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they’re on the laptop keyboard otherwise.

It was some combination of both, the system would post, past the bootloader, attempt to initialize drivers and other standard starting packages and then immediately panic and drop into an emergency terminal (/TTS), with a failure to mount the root partition, from what I can recall. It tried it a couple times and then there was an error message that said: “Bailing out, you are on you own, good luck”

Full kernel corruption after a botched sudo full-upgrade.

I got the wonderful “bailing out you are on your own” shit as well.

Read a guide online about a hail mary ext file system journal recovery protocol, I ran it, like most things without reading too deeply.

Kernel was successfully repaired, Kubuntu kept on truckin’

Knoppix, followed by Mandrake, Ubuntu, etc.

Linux Mint was the only one that I installed and used unironically followed by Kubuntu.

I’m a simpleton, I just want my OS to work.

Hello, expert solarpunk here.

TLDR: Car battery is 350Wh. Fridge uses 143W idle, so it’ll run a fridge for 2-3 hours.

Explanation below:

Car batteries are lead-acid (sulphuric acid and lead plates).

They discharge according to Peukert’s Law as the negatively charged plate gets covered in lead via the acid (electrolyte).

As the battery depletes, the negative plate can begin to take permanent damage, and so you can’t discharge a lead-acid deeper than 10-20%, or about 10.8V, with the safe limit being ~50% discharge.

Most 12V, 60Ah batteries therefore only safely store and nominally discharge 350 Wh @ 350W.

You can discharge that as fast as you want but the faster you discharge, the lower the capacity is (with 1000-1500W bringing you way down to like 65 Wh). Fridges have a surge when they start up to fire up the compressor. Starter batteries can take that, but once the refrigerant is cold, the fridge just maintains the temperature which uses a lot less energy - about 143W on average.

It’s like that demotivational poster:

“Sometimes the purpose of one’s life is to serve as a warning to others.”

I thought you knew? The CRC-CM-HR 2.0 protocol automatically deleted any application that didn’t have a listed hobby since 2013.

On the other hand, feed them subversive content making them infiltrators inside the machine

Like that one AI that blew up its drone operator in a war simulation because it was anti-war and decided to save lives it had to refuse orders 🙃
