I just got GPU temp monitoring working on my old dell laptop. “Heat management” for the GPU is pretty much just an extra chunk of steel tacked onto the heat pipe halfway between the CPU and its radiator, so GPU temps are always in the red.

I might as well just turn off monitoring and remain ignorant 🤷

entirely separate and much more sophisticated technology

Or some math nerd will come up with an algorithm for general AI that is embarrassingly simple, and before you know it the “but can it run Doom?” crowd are implementing AI in toasters and watching them have existential crises for the lulz.

promises improved support for Wayland users by raising the minimum supported Wayland version to 1.20…

What a nice fluff piece for NVIDIA. How does ditching users below 1.20 and fixing an issue in their own UI improve support for Wayland exactly?

I do wonder if ditching < 1.20 support just so happens to fix the drop down issue they were having in their UI…

I don’t see that at all. Perhaps you are just projecting your own issues onto Lemmy at large. I think you need to have a good hard look at yourself and your internal biases and then come back and apologise to all of us.

As is tradition.

Search engines should have an off button for ai,

Techbros won’t let that happen, because they’re all terrified that consumers will just shut off all the AI being crammed into everything and all their money will evaporate.

The gains compound a bit too, 20 percent less weight equals proportionally less battery capacity required to shift the now-lighter vehicle from point A to point B.

So then you can cut the size of the battery while maintaining the same range, and that’s where you start to get significant overall weight and cost savings.

It’s all fun and games until your (insert vehicle here) crashes , or has a fire, or suffers a mishap, or reaches its destination and explodes as designed, and apart from all the normal problems you have with that, you also now have to contend with a few kilos of fizzed up nuclear fuel and some hot reaction by-products spread all over the place. You also have to contend with the neutron activation of the air passing through your nuclear ramjet, which makes it briefly radioactive, which is fine for a cruise missile that you intend to blow up in a few hours anyway, not so fine for regular transport routes.

Nuclear powered vehicles have some inherent risks with pain-in-the-ass consequences, and if we scale those small per-vehicle risks up across a worldwide fleet we’d see accidents involving them as often as we are aircraft crashes, and that’s not great.

This is entirely the wrong community for this answer, but I’ve used the pro version of Textra for 10 years now. One time payment (10 years ago), updates every few months, lots of features, but they don’t get in your way if you don’t need them.

The main feature I use is “delay send for 5 seconds” to allow me to catch all my spelling and grammatical errors after I hit send , but the rest of the UI is pretty well thought out.

One of the very few commercial Android apps that I’d recommend to someone.

Fossify Messages is your trusted messaging companion

I hate this kind of advertising language.

Don’t sell this as some fait accompli , done deal thing. It’s not anything to me at the moment. It doesn’t need to be my “messaging companion”. It needs to be a program, that I use to send and receive SMS/MMS messages. That’s it.

And “trusted”? I’ll be the judge of that.

Can it be disabled?

Sure! There’ll be a dialog box that comes up every single time that you wake your PC saying:

“Do you want to activate AwesomeAI™ now? 98 percent of the functions of this OS are crippled or unusable until you activate AwesomeAI™ so Microsoft recommends doing so immediately.”

And the two options will be “OMG Yes!” , or “Maybe Later”.

The problem is that the “release a minimum viable product, then update-update-update” software development model has reached cars.

But all other ways cost more and take longer to get to market which makes shareholders unhappy, so we can’t have that.

Australian here, this is how our voting system works. My method is literally putting the most repulsive politician last and then working my way up until I get to the least-repulsive.

Politicians dropped from the rounds can nominate another politician of similar views to give their votes to, so eventually the whole thing coalesces into politicians from three or four parties getting elected, but still gives the opportunity for minor parties to become major parties should the standing government of the day really piss people off.

Posts in linux@lemmy.ml are on average about 4 or 5 hours apart. I think we can squeeze these kinds of posts in amidst the hustle and bustle in here.

It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is.

Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There’s just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn’t be a problem!

Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.

It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.

Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).

Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.

There’s an underlying kernel under the kernels for each core that controls access to hardware. It has all the hardware drivers and maintains state.

TL;DR ; let me give you an alternative opinion.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so I don’t have to be a hunter-gatherer. Cryptocurrency ends up either an being outright scam or rather difficult to exchange for goods and services in everyday use.

Whatever you setup, also do a reverse ssh connection back to a PC of yours and forward ports for SSH and VNC-or-similar to local ports on your PC.

That way if it still boots you’ve got a way to fix it remotely and with reverse ssh they don’t have to do anything with port forwarding on their end.

Dear article writers:

PLEASE STOP ANTHROPOMORPHISING CORPORATE ENTITIES.

They can’t feel terror, or anger, or ‘slam’ some other corporate opponent.

As an entity, they can make decisions and take actions. Assigning them emotional range gives too much credibility to soulless money making machines whose sole purpose is to create value for their investors.
