The next AI winter is going to be a doozy that’s for sure.

Many projects have already been officially dropping support for building and / or running on 32-bit architectures, requiring either adding back support for this architecture downstream in Fedora, or requiring packaging changes in a significant number of packages to adapt to this dropped support.
From the proposal, sounds like an overhead/maintenance issue. It’s ashame, I’ve been enjoying Fedora for the last 3 years since I made the complete switch to Linux from Wangblows
Maybe it’s about time I spend a week getting my Arch install just right
- Gronk@aussie.zonetoPC Gaming@lemmy.ca•I tested $200-ish GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel—but no matter who wins, budget gamers loseEnglish51·21 days ago
My 1080ti is still going strong, which will probably be the last GPU I buy if the industry continues this way.
There’s not really an incentive to buy a new GPU anyway IMO, half of the new features are either AI crap or features for building AI crap. AAA Games are shit as well due to corporate greed, so it’s not like graphics are all that important
Would rather buy a console and have a computer with a beefier CPU and more RAM than pay 3x the worth of one component
Here’s hoping Intel brings some sense to the competition but I highly doubt it’ll change things

Hey don’t beat yourselves up guys, you still polluted the environment and wasted magnitudes of energy to come to this conclusion!
Yeah I’ve heard jim-o before but I wouldn’t say it’s super common, things either end in ‘oh’ or ‘ie’ to roll off the tongue nicely so jimmie is usually the norm.
Maybe you should try a different roast or cafe?

There’s been some pretty clear cases where the OSRS team has been forced to look into microtransactions, or profit-focused mechanics that have had huge pushback by the player base and they know that.
They can only fight the shareholders for so long, jagex is on its way out.
Sucks but that’s capitalism baby!
I spent more time refactoring AI drivel in my last job than I did implementing my own.
I’m glad LLMs work for the OOP, unfortunately programming isn’t uniform and different scopes and contexts can cause LLMs to create more overhead than they’re worth, I suppose in the same sense that throwing junior devs at a problem until it goes away creates more overhead.
Sure it can figure out X problem and make a PR for it, but did it do it in a clean manner? No.
Did it while working on X, also realise how X ties into problem Y and Z, and that dependency A does not have the extensibility to cover all these problems in a clean and effective manner before baking up a weird solution? Also no.
Do I have to divide my time and attention across multiple different areas of the code base, comprehend, refactor and commit the code that would usually take me 15 minutes to write in the first place? Yes.
They’ve got their strongpoints like the OP said, but I’m not insane or crazy for not wanting to use them. My tools work fine without the use of AI
- Gronk@aussie.zonetoClimate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Carbon capture company emits more than it capturesEnglish6·1 month ago
The reasonable RCP pathways we’re trying to follow require us to remove a net 2 Gigatons of CO2 a year from the atmosphere per year.
And yeah we can’t really do it this way because of entropy unless we work a miracle, best we can do is tip the Earths natural carbon sinks into our favour but we’re doing the exact opposite of that.
Those carbon sinks can also take millenia to find a state of equilibrium as well.
I know I sound like a pessimist so here’s my take from this, these companies have insidiously compartmentalised an existential threat to our species to the confines of the economy.
These companies will never amount to anything significant, they will ride a model of perceived hype around some vaporware tech that flies in the face of thermodynamics.
This detracts from real solutions to a very real problem that falls beyond the comprehension of these arseholes and they don’t deserve our attention much less the time of day.

Friendly reminder that the IPCC models have consistently been conservative in their approach, mainly because the reports are influenced by policymakers and a biased committee before they reach daylight.
You can look this up yourself, there is plenty of criticism from the scientific community.
IIRC the AR6 said it had high confidence that we would not reach 1.5c before 2030 and medium confidence we would reach it around 2035.
Because of this I want to say that the 1.5c limit is an arbitrary bullshit number for policymakers to appear as though they’re aiming for a goal.
There is no safe level of warming, and a large amount of these feedback loops have and may happen because of factors other than ONE fucking number. (E.g Human influence on the Amazon)
- Gronk@aussie.zonetoCanada@lemmy.ca•Ban flavoured vapes now, anti-smoking groups urge Carney’s government - National | Globalnews.caEnglish14·1 month ago
A similar point to be made, we tried this style of legislation in Australia.
Under the guise this was for the publics interest, the only ‘legal’ vapes you can buy in the country now are manufactured by Phillip Morris International and other big tobacco companies.
The blackmarket continues to thrive and with it organised crime grows, have yet to see a pharmacy that stocks ‘legal’ vapes.
Police in my local area are either paid off or get black market tobacco products for free to turn a blind eye to this issue, can’t imagine thats limited to my area only.
I’m all for regulation around nicotine products but I sure as shit wouldn’t trust a pollie to make decent legislation around it at this point in time.
Is there a genre for this particular kind of video yet? Not just character builds but ones based on esoteric inner knowledge of the engine

Haven’t tried this yet but it looks like it’d be able to handle any Adobe software, might incur some performance loss though.

Oh yeah the very nice police force that has absolutely not been systematically trained to shoot first and ask questions later when things go south?
