Or, the Italian way: simmer garlic in a pan with olive oil, throw in the vegetables and a bit of water, throw in some salt, cover, cook until soft, check occasionally that it isn’t burning
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 1 week ago:
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)

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

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.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
“Here’s Lemmy. It’s like Reddit. There’s a bunch of different websites for it, but they all have basically the same things 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

Archinstall is super easy, relatively. Just copy a few commands from the wiki to join a wifi network and then it will take everything from there.

quick test, with that prompt and flux schnell gguf 4 bit again:
- pentagon: 1
- hexagon: 9
- heptagon: 2
- octagon: 7
- decagon: 1
it seems a lot stupider than pro lol
- Comment on Square! 5 months ago:
I thought this couldn’t be true, so using one of the newer models (4bit flux) I told it to make a 5 sided star, and then put lines around the outside
lol this is very weird, did they forbid it from looking at pentagons in the training data or something? it can’t do The Pentagon either, it gives it 8-12 sides instead

I actually had a problem where on Chrome, I would be signed out of my google account every time I restart my computer, while on Firefox, everything works normally. I use Firefox now lol.

- Comment on Breakthrough barium titanate solar panels are 1000x more powerful than existing panels 6 months ago:
Most solar panels are ~20% efficient. So (100-20)/1000=0.08%, 100-0.08=99.92% efficient (1000x less energy loss) (you could do it the other way, but that would make less sense)

Check how large your photos library is on your computer. Now wouldn’t it be nice if it was 40% smaller?
