Carmack defends AI tools after Quake fan calls Microsoft AI demo “disgusting” in c/games
[–] sorghum 10 points 11 hours ago (18 children)

You must not have heard the dis gamers use for this tech.

Fake frames.

I think they'd rather have more raster and ray tracing especially raster in competitive games.

Still have limited wafers at the fabs. The chips going to datacenters could have been consumer stuff instead. Besides they (nVidia, Apple, AMD) are all fabricated at TSMC.

Local AI benefits from platforms with unified memory that can be expanded. Watch platforms based on AMD's Ryzen AI MAX 300 chip or whatever they call it take off. Frameworks you can config a machine with that chip to 128 GB RAM iirc. It's the main reason why I believe Apple's memory upgrades cost a ton so that it isn't a viable option financially for local AI applications.

Considering that the AI craze is what's fueling the shortage and massive increase in GPU prices, I really don't see gamers ever embracing AI.

If everything I've seen is true, then this explains the higher prices for physical over digital.

I hate people who only release their App on flatpak in c/[email protected]
[–] sorghum 5 points 1 week ago

I wish I had moved to Linux sooner. I was in IT at the time and only saw windows and OSX in the wild. Servers were all windows except for one xserve. I still to this day have no idea what that server did for that customer. My only real experience with Linux at that time was FreePBX when setting up phone systems for offices.

I put OSX on mine. A $200 Macbook mini was a cool project and a neat conversation piece.

In case you were wondering, this is about accessibility for the disabled, not game preservation or region locking.

Just under 7.5 years is the bar for longest lived with artificial heart.

Starship destroyed on second consecutive test flight in c/spacex
[–] sorghum 4 points 1 month ago (8 children)

It is, but if you look at SpaceX's history with Falcon 1, it had 5 flights. 3 failed to reach orbit and of the 2 that succeeded only 1 was a satellite and not a mass simulator. And even then that satellite failed right after orbit (not SpaceX's fault, but still no successes).

I suspect that super heavy and starship may be near the limits for size and weight for rockets leaving earth.

I thought they said they were moving to a different platform?

That's the real kicker. a place to moor your boat is often more expensive and even then maintenance costs will be a lot.

Yeah, which is why I included a news article to get a sense of what it is.

More like all THEIR devices

In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:

https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati

Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly

This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer

MLS execs Garber, Rodriguez say Open Cup move is for greater good of U.S. soccer (theathletic.com)

Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber

We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.

It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.

I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.

Any chance Voyager will be made compatible with Lemmy Redirect? (self.voyagerapp)
 

I found a massive quality of life improvement this morning with Mastodon Redirect and it makes interacting with Mastodon links found outside my Mastodon app so much more easier to interact with. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement this. I spoke with the dev of Lemmy Redirect and he said the reason Voyager isn't supported is because Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links

Is the best place to submit feature requests here or the github?

Is there a Mastodon android app that has the option to open mastodon instances in the app (self.fediverse)
 

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.
