Hmm, I was not aware of that. I’ve seen (not Nvidia related) simulations with probably tens of thousands of rigidbodies running on relatively old midrange CPUs in real time, so it’s pretty crazy that it’s that slow.

Are there really any 32-bit era games that your CPU can’t handle, especially if you have a $1k+ gpu? This post is honestly pretty misleading as it implies modern versions of PhysX don’t work, when they actually do.

That being said, it doesn’t make all that much sense as a decision, doubles are rare in most GPU code anyways (as they are very slow), NVIDIA is just being lazy and doesn’t want to write the drivers for that

Well, at least you aren’t on mac where 32 bit things just don’t launch at all… (I think they might be playable through wine, but even in the x86 era MacOS didn’t natively run any 32 bit games or software, so games like Portal 2 or TF2 for example just didn’t work even though they had a MacOS version)

People do that with google translate as well

Truly only the most useful of functions for this great operating system

It’s because Windows has to save its keyboard combinations for the important things, like opening a new LinkedIn tab.

Hash them with the post ID appended, so a user can’t be identified across posts

Ok that makes sense

Reminds me of the “U.S. Post: you have a USPS parcel being cleared, due to the detection of an invalid zip code address, the parcel can not be cleared, the parcel is temporarily detained, please confirm the zip code address information in the link within 24 hours” message I got with the totally not suspicious domain “usps.com-service.webnw.top/us” and the unnecessarily confusing instructions “Please reply with a Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it”

There are multiple similar subs on reddit as well though, often with very slightly different names

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map

If they look at the “all” feed they’ll see 90% of the same stuff from 90% of instances.

Once (from experience) they learn what they want from an instance, they can always switch.

“Here’s Lemmy. It’s like Reddit. There’s a bunch of different websites for it, but they all have basically the same people and posts on them. Just join one near you, if you don’t like it you can always use a different one later”

They don’t really need to know about that until they have had time on Lemmy to hear about what those defederated instances actually do

I read on Wikipedia that earlier tales of the Easter bunny only had it giving gifts to good kids, it might just be a regional thing now

If it happens at night it will probably take 5 or 6 seconds longer for people to start seeing the first messages on the internet

I’m just using basic fabric stuff running through a systemd service for my MC server. It also basically just has every single performance mod I could find and nothing else (as well as geyser+floodgate) so there isn’t all that much admin stuff to do. I set up RCON (I think it’s called) to send commands from my computer but I just set up everything through ssh. I haven’t heard of either pterodactyl or crafty controller, I’ll check those out!

OpenAI could use less hardware to get similar performance if they used the Chinese version, but they already have enough hardware to run their model.

Theoretically the best move for them would be to train their own, larger model using the same technique (as to still fully utilize their hardware) but this is easier said than done.

for high vram ai stuff it might be worth waiting and seeing how the 24gb b580 variant is

Intel has a bunch of translation layer sort of stuff though that I think generally makes it easy to run most CUDA ai things on it, but I’m not sure if common ai software supports multi gpu with it though

IDK how cash limited you are but if it’s just the vram you need and not necessarily the tokens/sec it should be a much better deal when it releases

Not entirely related but I have a full half hourly shapshotted computer backup going to a large HDD in my home server using Kopia, its very convenient and you don’t need to install anything on the server except a large drive and the ability to use ssh/sftp (or another method, it supports several). It supports many compression formats and also avoids storing duplicate data. I haven’t needed to use it yet, but I imagine it could become very useful in the future. I also have the same set up in the cli on the server, largely so I can roll back in case some random person happens upon it and decides to destroy everything in my Minecraft server (which is public and doesn’t have a whitelist…). It’s pretty easy to set up and since it can back up over the internet, its something you could easily use for a whole family.

My home server (with a bunch of used parts plus a computer from the local university surplus store) was probably about ~170$ in total (i7 6700, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, 8tb hdd) and is enough to host all of the stuff I have (very light modded MC with geyser, a gitlab instance, and the backup) very easily, but it is very much not expandable (the case is quite literally tiny and I don’t have space to leave it open, I could get a pcie storage controller but the psu is weak and there aren’t many sata ports), probably not all that future proof either, and definitely isn’t something I would trust to perform well with AI models.

this (sold out now) is the hdd I got, I did a lot of research and they’re supposed to be super reliable. I was worried about noise, but after getting one I can say that as long as it isn’t within 4 feet of you you’ll probably never hear it.

Anyways, it’s always nice to really do something the proper way and have something fully future proof, but if you just need to host a few light things you can probably cheap out on the hardware and still get a great experience. It’s worth noting that a normal Minecraft server, backups, and a document editor for example are all things that you can run on a Raspberry Pi if you really wanted to. I have absolutely no experience using a NAS, metasearch, or heavy mods however, those might be a lot harder to get fast for all I know.

“everything everywhere all at once” was made largely in Blender I think, it’s the most popular film from a studio using Blender that I know of

There’s also other protocols already made, like the one used in Hubzilla which can hande account porting well
