yea, IDK how it works as I’ve never had a computer back then, but the quoted reply makes it sound like getting a sound card would take load off of the CPU.

Not in the same way, as you aren’t using the integrated gpu at all if you get an external one. I guess if you’re talking about shared ram this makes sense though.

I’m using a cheap one of those from amazon for my headphones on my laptop because the audio jack suddenly stopped recognizing when headphones were plugged in. (although I still get a dmesg error log when I stick a q-tip in to the jack? If anyone knows how to debug this, please tell me)

Language is always going to change over time. There’s not much anyone can do about it, whether they like it or not. And if you understand what is being said, does it really matter? There have been language mistakes that have slowly been formalized into written language in the past, and I’m sure that will continue into the future.

IMO writing is only really ‘wrong’ if it doesn’t convey the intended meaning or tone (which I’m sure happens a fair amount as well)

the idea is that god created semi-hairless primates intentionally to look similar to him. IDK how that is supposed to fit in with our knowledge of natural history, it’s weird to me that people who understand evolution can still think “well some of this is obviously wrong, but perhaps these completely unprovable parts (that seem to rely on the other parts) are right?”

The CE switched to a newer revision from 2001, and nspire uses a custom arm cpu

The ti-84 is actually using a version of a processor from the 70s

Are there still no 3rd party controllers? It seems like controllers like the quest pro has (that can track themselves) would be an easy match. I guess meta is spending millions on development though, so it’s probably not something easily made by a small company.

I would think Bluetooth should provide enough bandwidth, but IDK if apple’s OS is configurable enough to support something like that.

Yeah, I think it could be useful for CAD or 3D art (with proper software) but I can’t think of many other jobs where it would be all that helpful.

Everyone knew that they would release a cheaper model, and it was always their plan. That’s why it has ‘pro’ in its name.

If you install it locally, it will be as secure as any other thing you do on your computer.

My ideal copyright would be 15 years or death of the creator or the end of sale/support, whichever is earlier. That would mean that Portal 2 has copyright and Portal doesn’t, which sounds about right.

I don’t care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.

Not in the case of the google search AI. It quotes directly from unreliable sources.

this paper tries to do that: arxiv.org/pdf/2404.04689

there are also several other techniques I think

They can’t. AI has hallucinations. Google has shown that AI can’t even rely on external sources, either.

I think its largely the chip manufacturers, but ARM is still making money on licensing fees for Nvidia’s new ai chip (with an integrated 72 core arm cpu) for example

ARM is in the perfect place where, if a company using their architecture succeeds, they get tons of money, and if the company fails, they lose nothing.

Apple has published papers on small LLM models and multimodal models already. I would be surprised if they aren’t using them for on-device processing.
