Archinstall is super easy. Just copy a few commands from the wiki to join a wifi network and then it will take everything from there.

gpt-2 could do a better job lol

ok, maybe the gpt-2 one is a bit incoherent, it was from five years ago though

The following is a closing speech in a debate against Kamala Harris by the Republican Donald Trump. "She said she’s going to do lots of wonderful things. Why hasn’t she done it yet? They’ve had 3 1/2 years to fix the border and create jobs. So they do it all the time and when you get down there and you get on the roads and people go, “Well, if you do it in Arizona, it’s not a ____ deal,” it’s no deal," they do it because I really don‴t know if they‴re any better than they are now. I don‴t know what kind of country that would be. So the point is when you say she is going to do it, it has been almost 3 1/2 years, we have lost a job and we have to do it. ____, they have all the money and the wall and they have to pay for it by cutting out millions of jobs. And what happened to us was the problem. These are the people who came over from South America and come here, and we didn’t have the money or the will to do it. Now we are doing this all the time. We don‴t have the economic opportunity to make more money with less taxes. What I mean by that is we have to fix the problem. ____, they haven‴t been doing it. ____, they have spent a lot of money on their projects and they don‴t have the financial means ____ to do that. So it is just a failure on a national level. We got the money, we will go ahead and do it if there are opportunities. But we did not do it because of ____. I mean, we have not got any jobs, no jobs in the United States, no jobs in the world.

Honestly I could imagine Trump saying this

I actually had a problem where on Chrome, I would be signed out of my google account every time I restart my computer, while on Firefox, everything works normally. I use Firefox now lol.

this article has not been edited, is from 2022, and says the feature was rolled out in June.

Check how large your photos library is on your computer. Now wouldn’t it be nice if it was 40% smaller?

JPEG XL in lossless mode actually gives around 50% smaller file sizes than PNG

its royalty free and has an open source implementation, what more could you want?

It’s “set realistic playercount expectations”, not “we should shut our games’ servers down earlier”

next up: microsoft announces development of Bethesda’s next game will be largely outsourced

Ok, i guess its just kinda similar to dynamic overclocking/underclocking with a dedicated npu. I don’t really see why a tiny 2$ microcontroller or just the cpu can’t accomplish the same task though.

Ram is slower than GPU VRAM, but that extreme slowdown is due to the bottleneck of the pcie bus that the data has to go through to get to the GPU.

there are some local genai music models, although I don’t know how good they are yet as I haven’t tried any myself (stable audio is one, but I’m sure there are others)

also minor linguistic nitpick but LLM stands for ‘language model’ (you could maybe get away with it for pixart and sd3 as they use t5 for prompt encoding, which is an llm, i’m sure some audio models with lyrics use them too), the term you’re looking for is probably ‘generative’

from the articles I’ve found it sounds like they’re comparing it to native…

Having to send full frames off of the GPU for extra processing has got to come with some extra latency/problems compared to just doing it actually on the gpu… and I’d be shocked if they have motion vectors and other engine stuff that DLSS has that would require the games to be specifically modified for this adaptation. IDK, but I don’t think we have enough details about this to really judge whether its useful or not, although I’m leaning on the side of ‘not’ for this particular implementation. They never showed any actual comparisons to dlss either.

As a side note, I found this other article on the same topic where they obviously didn’t know what they were talking about and mixed up frame rates and power consumption, its very entertaining to read

The NPU was able to lower the frame rate in Cyberpunk from 263.2 to 205.3, saving 22% on power consumption, and probably making fan noise less noticeable. In Final Fantasy, frame rates dropped from 338.6 to 262.9, resulting in a power saving of 22.4% according to PowerColor’s display. Power consumption also dropped considerably, as it shows Final Fantasy consuming 338W without the NPU, and 261W with it enabled.

We have plenty of real uses for ray tracing right now, from blender to whatever that avatar game was doing to lumen to partial rt to full path tracing, you just can’t do real time GI with any semblance of fine detail without RT from what I’ve seen (although the lumen sdf mode gets pretty close)

although the rt cores themselves are more debatably useful, they still give a decent performance boost most of the time over “software” rt

Yeah, you also have to deal with the latency with the cloud, which is a big problem for a lot of possible applications

well, i think a lot of these cpus come with a dedicated npu, idk if it would be more efficient than the tensor cores on an nvidia gpu for example though

edit: whatever npu they put in does have the advantage of being able to access your full cpu ram though, so I could see it might be kinda useful for things other than custom zoom background effects

it doesn’t seem all that hard to make, as long as you don’t mind the severely reduced flexibility in capacity and glass bottles shattering against each other at the bottom

Wow, I’m glad I have auto-renew enabled.
