What's amazing to me is, we're two years into Intel, AMD and Qualcomm making "AI" CPUs and I still haven't seen a single unique on-device application of those chips that have made me think, "oh, that's kind of useful." They just shoved a NPU into their packages because Apple did and then yelled "Copilot!", threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.
in reply to Matt May

ahaha that's a good way to look at it. They advertise it as being capable of doing ONNX, but with only 50 TOPS at most on higher-end ones, a graphics card can easily deliver in the 400-500 TOPS Int8, 100-200 on something entry level. I think they would have been better suited to put all that R&D into getting the iGPU to include extensions for AI, but I think NVIDIA's Cuda killed that, with how popular it is, they just felt like their own would have no chance. Sigh. So now we're stuck with a part of the CPU that's really there just as a booster to the GPU, and together maybe a system can push 90 TOPS, far below the power of a dedicated GPU that's even entry level. Useless.

The most *chef's kiss* part of this story is when Instacart says it's the stores that set the prices and then the stores point the finger right back at Instacart and say they don't set the prices on the platform.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mohamed_Dawed…

People in Gaza prove their ingenuity and resilience daily in order to survive. I want us to remember what this highlights, along with their incredibly creative solutions: the blatant injustice of greed and supremacy that caused the necessity for these solutions in the first place.

We must continue to fight for Palestinian freedom, in every way that we are able.

Mir fΓ€llt es schwer zu verstehen, wie die @Kirche@mastodon.social bei den Entwicklungen in den ca. letzten 10 Jahren zu so einer Entscheidung kommen kann.

re: teasing modernity

well we have something better that has existed for many years before that and has been successfully used across a HUGE amount of open source projects already including the Linux kernel.

If we're gonna pick something, we should move forward with the option that has a formalized standard already and "just works".

Mastodon friends (US ones probably!).

Doing a but of sleuthing with some limited evidence and hitting a wall.

So some of you say certain words containing a long O after a short sound, like both, moment etc. but add in an L, sometimes obviously, sometimes subtly.

So bolth, molment, and so on.

Is this regional? Generational? Education? The US doesn’t have a class system like large parts of Europe or Asia do, so I can’t speak for that.

in reply to Security Writer

I think it's regional - likely influenced by the speaking style of the predominant immigrants that settled in given areas (at least that's my hypothesis). I used to have family in remote Pennsylvania and they pronounced certain words with an "R", like "warsh" instead of wash. I've not heard "molment", but "bolth" seems to be super common just about everywhere.

I've never done any LLM work except running a few local models through Ollama. I don't really understand how to use this Orpheus TTS thing (see link). I know it's not for real-time speech, but rather for generating audio when given a bunch of text, like a file's contents. Still, it might be neat to play with. I don't get how to deploy it or train voices, if I even could train voices. github.com/canopyai/Orpheus-TT…

Tell your MP to attend the debate on repealing or reforming the Online Safety Act, which is not fit for purpose, infringes on privacy, disproportionately burdens small businesses and projects worldwide, causing them to shut down or geoblock the UK; causes lawful, age appropriate content to be censored; and subjects us to unnecessary, intrusive and poorly regulated age verification.

I received an invite to the early access to the Android developer console in my inbox yesterday, the one related to Google's new push to make developers verify Android apps that are distributed outside Play.

Google had talked previously about providing a specific verification tier for students and hobbyists, but with limitation on how many app installs it could have. Well that sounds nice of them, right?

But the question I had on my mind back when I read that was: How many devices would that mean? Ten thousand, a thousand, a hundred?

Turns out it means just twenty. fucking. devices.

Station security chief T'xtrt looked at the Humans going into the meeting hall next to the bar.

"One day you'll have to explain Human religion to me."

Thelma, the barkeep, shrugged. "Not sure it was wise to bring it with us."

"Anyway, I came to ask what you are. The records show you've run this bar for centuries. Humans don't live that long."

"I came with the humans."

"Yes. The records show that, too."

Thelma smiled. "Where humans can go, so can their gods."

Hey fedi,

Recently finished #Spiritfarer, amazing game, but now I'm kinda sad I don't have a #CouchCoop #game that cozy anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions for couch coop games with a similar cozy vibe as #Haven and #Spiritfarer? #Chicory was also amazing and very close to the perfect vibe, though Haven and Spiritfarer were ever so slightly more cozy.

Any suggestions? :)

@joepie91 @tzeentcha Ooh, didn't realize that couch is meant in a rather literal sense here, sorry.

This one's pretty obscure and very early access and not quite *casual* as far as difficulty goes, but also can be taken at any pace, Himno - The Silent Melody. s.team/a/1079230

Also, Untitled goose.game is pretty fun together.

gnop is another one of those tools on FreeBSD that I don't know a replacement for on Linux.

You can:

- fake the sector size, stripe size, etc
- customize read/write delay probability
- customize read/write failure probability

so if you wanted to test how your system behaves with misbehaving or failing disks, how would you do that on Linux? On FreeBSD it's quite easy
