You have to go quite out of your way to not use Wayland. Pretty much all mainstream distros switched over long ago. This just feels like the systemd drama restarted. Some will complain and hold on to the past for as long as they can but the rest of the world moves on. Wayland is the better choice today.

I’m not sure how much of an effect it has, but dice aren’t rolled in a vacuum. There is buoyancy from the air that can roll the dice heavy side down. Which is what the saline water test is testing.

Seems like it would be possible to create a cool demo where you can play the game over ssh rather than having to compile locally.

Looking at these prices I’m just thinking that as a user it makes no sense to buy this when you can just use the subsidised stuff from AI companies and then buy it a few years later at a tiny % of the cost.

You are still really limited in what you can run. So much stuff is cuda only.

Like what? Most of the good stuff is ported over already and anything else, tag Anush on X and see what you get. Also happy to help.

The point is that they care now.

Tbh my experience is in the non AI uses, recently I was looking at Gaussian splatting tools and it seemed the majority of it was CUDA only. I’m also still bothered AMD for ages claimed my card (5700xt) would be getting rocm but just abandoned it.

Not surprising. True, the ecosystem is like early OSX vs. Windows. Eventually it'll get ported over if there is demand.

trl. give me a uv command to get that working.

But even in the amd stack things (like ck and aiter) consumer cards are not even second class citizens. They are a distance third at best. If you just want to run vllm with the latest model, if you can get it running at all there are going to be paper cuts all along the way and even then the performance won't be close to what you could be getting out of the hardware.

It is not perfect, but it isn't that bad anymore. Tons of improvements over the last year.

90% of common crawl is complete junk. While the tiny bit of news articles powers almost all the ai answers in Google search.

News takes a very different path to get into search results. It's not going through databases or archive passes, that would take far too long.

And don't basically all those news sites allow google on purpose?

Both do, but the moment any sauce gets on the rice it's impossible to pick up with chopsticks.

Half of this list feels about as important as remembering the order of spoons on a table. Something that probably meant a lot 100 years ago but is mostly forgotten now.

This is actually true though. If you look at the revenue breakdown for Microsoft, windows is relatively small. It's Azure and Office that make up the lions share. Those are also the growth sectors. No matter how good you make Windows, you won't sell more licenses because everyone who wants a PC already has one. The only thing they need to do is prevent people moving to Mac, which historically hasn't been a huge risk.

I put bazitte on my desktop and left it connected to the TV. It's the most seamless linux distro I've ever used. Been using it for a year now purely with an xbox controller.
