Don’t you know that GUIs are super double duper against the unix philosophies of old? Mr Linux Torbald rolling in his grave just thinking of it

Running games through Proton is as simple as clicking install and then play on Steam. You might need to enable Steam Play or such but I haven’t had setup or config troubles with games in years now

They didn’t say Steam Deck

Give examples or get out

Hexarei , 10 days ago

That’s only true for the Java edition, some people play the Bedrock edition instead tho - and even then, that can still be run on Linux lol

Nah, I wanna hear about bugs that have affected you that you can confirm are bugs :-)

DSP recently got localized small distribution drones, you can convert any storage box into a tiny logistics station now. It’s pretty sweet, really reduces the spaghetti early on in recent playthroughs

The dual GPU problem has actually for the most part also been solved; Optimus rarely poses a problem these days

I hate to break it to you friendo, but 8 year old hardware isn’t recent. It may still be usable, but that doesn’t make it recent. It’s ok though grandpa, let’s get you back to bed

I can read, and a 2016 MacBook pro is not even a bit recent; It’s from 8 years ago :-)

Just a bit of light-hearted leg pulling, nothing to get worked up over

Hexarei , 15 days ago

It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel’s laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent

Hexarei , 15 days ago

I’m sorry, my goal wasn’t to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I’m not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

Hope I wasn’t too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I’m having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech “recent” usually means “in the last 2-3 years” unless you’re comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

Group policy lets you basically configure anything on any machine in the active directory domain; Installed programs, installed updates, basically any settings, schedules, services, automatically adding (and limiting by users if you want) network devices like printers and storage… It’s pretty powerful, and does way more than just filesystem permissions.

I think their point was that some head boards don’t go to the floor

I’m already autistic, what’s it gonna do, give me a software update?

That’s not how GPTs work

Hexarei , 24 days ago

They do not store anything verbatim; They instead store the directions in which various words and related concepts relate to one another in some gigantic multidimensional space.

I highly suggest you go learn what they actually do before you continue talking out of your ass about them

Hexarei , 24 days ago

You said it matches text to it’s training data, which it does not do.

Your single-phrase statement only works for very short, non-repetitive phrases. As soon as your phrase repeats a token more than a few times, the statistics for the tokens change and could result in nonsensical output that repeats through subsections of the training data.

And even then for that single non-repetitive phrases, the reason you would get that single phrase back is not because it would be “matching on” the phrase. It is because the token weights would effectively encode that the statistical likelihood of the “next token” in the generated output is 100% for a given token when the evaluated token precedes it in the training phrase. Or in other words: Your training data being a single phrase maniplates the statistics so that the most likely output is that single phrase.

However, that is a far cry from simple “matching” against the training data. Which is what you said it does.

Hexarei , 24 days ago

Analysis. It uses it, but not by “matching it”. The training data is not included in the final model. No GPT can access its training data at runtime.

Training analyzes the contents of the training data and creates a statistical model representing the likelihoods of various tokens based on a complex series of mathematical transformations that encode various attributes of the tokens making up the training data.

3Blue1Brown has a great series on the actual math behind it, I would highly recommend educating yourself on what GPTs actually do. It’s way more interesting than simple matching.

Hexarei , 24 days ago

Simpler language is fine when it’s accurate.

Your simplification is inaccurate and could mislead people into thinking GPTs are just advanced regex matching engines.

They are not. They are closer to autocorrect on steroids.

I’m gonna stop responding to this asanine thread now before you continue to demean us both with your nonsense.

I’ve always heard it as “Where you mean to say one thing but fuck your mother”

Honestly this thing solved a very specific problem for me: My car has no good way to mount a phone for car usage so I’ve always kept it in the center console. Car Thing just put a remote on my dash for that with buttons for presets and easy song skipping.

I only got it for $10 though, and that was two years ago. It has convinced me to get a new head unit with Android Auto support on it for sure

They didn’t ask permission before pushing Copilot, why would they ask permission for this?

What would an operating system need yank registers for? Maybe if you get a good text editor to go with it, like Evil Mode 😉

Hexarei , 1 month ago

I use neovim (btw) and have it kitted out like a full IDE and it uses about 1gb of RAM at most to run a project. Crazy how much RAM static analysis takes.

Reject raid, ZFS supremacy

Hexarei , 1 month ago

It’s a fair bit more than that, but yes in a sense it is RAID if you are using it across more than one drive (as you should). You can use ZFS on a single drive though, so it’s a middle ground situation.

The main thing is to avoid hardware RAID controllers unless you have a really good reason, and that’s generally what most people refer to as RAID. Generally folks are moving to JBOD setups with filesystems like ZFS now though

My favorite part of your suspend shortcut is that you can call it “hyper pause” and that describes both the shortcut and the action lol

COME ON AND SLAM

Hexarei , 2 months ago

You can add non steam games to steam and it’ll run them via proton, can be pretty effortless in most scenarios. Otherwise, you can install Lutris and there’s a significant chance there’ll be an entry for how to run the game you want

Hexarei , 2 months ago

POL is still around, it’s just not quite as user friendly as Lutris. I use Lutris for Battle.net games and older titles where I have a physical disk. Easier than trying to add them to steam IMHO.

Hexarei , 2 months ago

I haven’t tried SC2 in a while but I seem to recall it working fine for me a few years ago. Dunno. Lutris has good details on the website for tons of stuff, no idea what that looks like for SC2 tho
