Seems silly to try to get the CPU to do GPU stuff, just upgrade the GPU.

Matrix multiplication is also largely what graphics cards do, I wonder how the npus are different.

What's the diameter? Starship is 9m, but it looks like this one is smaller? Also, what material are they using? If it's stainless, why paint it?

We need ranked choice voting so people can vote for who they actually want without throwing away they vote. The problem is opposing ranked choice voting is one of very few issues both parties agree on, since it hurts both of them.

Don't worry, that rocket is new shepherd, so you can eat him when it comes back down in 30 min. New shepherd doesn't get to orbit, it just does 100km hops straight up.

And it's hard to tell what the difference is. Apples 'built from the ground up for AI' chips just have more RAM. What's the difference with CPUs? Do they just have more onboard graphics processing that can also be used for matrix multiplication?

Crimea would be realistic if the US didn't hold back with their aid.

With how small feature sizes are on chips, I wonder what sort of easter eggs the designer have hidden in them.

My phone still keeps apps open after a restart, idk how. Maybe it catches them somehow?

[–] JohnDClay 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, my parents actually close all their apps regularly, whereas I have dozens of apps not doing anything in the background since it doesn't really make a difference.

I love organic designs like this. Here's an interesting irl building that kinda looks similar.

XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics

 

OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.

For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.

I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.

I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.

Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!

Amazing views, especially for live! I don't think we've ever seen reentry plasma on a live stream before.

PS, does anyone know how to get a direct link to a twitter video? I used to be able to through nitter, but that shut down. I can't figure out how to get twitter videos on lemmy directly now.

 

Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.

As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)

This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.

Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

Ancalagon the Black, the absolutely gargantuan dragon from the first age of middle earth!

This fantastic artwork is by Ruben de Vela. I think the sense of scale and immense power are remarkable.

But Earendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin. The Simarilian chapter 24

 

It can't be that hard, it's only two questions!

A lightsaber stick or sword stick would also be an acceptable choice

If dark mode for the pic beforeis making it hard to read, purples and blues are pop, reds are coke, and yellows are soda.

I love the noise it makes and how it manages to look like a helicopter and biology inspired. And the wing folded dive to get to the spice harvester is just fantastic.
