Plus, only fans can only do so much, if you really need cooling an air conditioner helps.

Eastbound and down, load 'em up and truck 'em. Oh we gon' do what they say can't be done. We got a long time to go, and a short time to get there. I'm eastbound, just watch ol' bandit run!

It's worth pointing out that the GDP of California makes it more like a country. It's not something that can just be ignored.

That's why I said "Age Verification Authority stamp" versus age attestation. How long before tech giants are able to convince Congress that the only way to keep kids safe is for them to issue certificates following identity verification? It won't be long before Google phones won't let you install APKs easily without a dev certificate which requires submitting your information to Google. It's not farfetched to say. It's a wet dream for politicians that want to be able to track everyone everywhere, too. How long before motherboards can't be sold without it? How long before building your own PC isn't an option? It's already the norm for most hardware to have closed source code somewhere. That's generally accepted as something that's or worth working around except for the most dedicated of free software enthusiasts.

This is all super important shit. Blowing it off like "this is just tech illiteracy" doesn't do anyone any favors. We aren't going to be able to fight these things by laughing about it. With that mentality, an asteroid might be the only way to actually stop this shit from happening.

The trend in America is towards a conservative, puritanical, surveillance state. Flock cameras everywhere. Flock execs looking at children's gymnastics classes in my state, while they say it will help find missing children. Abusers saying it will stop abuse. My state passed a porn ban and has had heartbeat abortion bans. We're not going to get any wins by blowing this shit off and laughing about it. We're not going to beat this shit if everyone wants to laugh and think everything is a slippery slope fallacy or just a random bullshit comment.

We had so many more. The air quotes was a big one.

I think they're more upset AI companies scraped 'em and they didn't get paid.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

Well, yeah, because they added it because of the law. That's not speculation, they said that's why they did. I agree, if it was there before it wouldn't have been out of place, I totally get you, but they said that it's something they should add because it might be required by law in the future.

For now. When is it going to need some sort of Age Verification Authority stamp to run?

The worst is when Workday parses your resume wrong and you know you're gonna have to make the same corrections on every site because God forbid they allow you to upload some different format that is easily machine readable.

Maybe get off Internet Explorer and you'll understand memes from 7 years ago.

Re: bad with large code -- that's been something I've been noticing as well. A project I've been working on for work has gotten larger now and it seems more often that it makes goofy mistakes. Like removing something somewhere but leaving something related somewhere else. My best guess is that it's all context window stuff. As humans, we can learn a lot and keep it all in our heads. But an AI model, if it's not something from its training set and it's not in its context window, then it just straight up does not know it exists. I'm guessing because context windows have gotten bigger that ai coding has gotten more impressive. But we'll see if they're able to keep scaling that. I imagine at some point it's gonna hit a soft wall (or at least a price wall lol).

 

I was curious if this was a Jerboa issue or just the instance, but I get the same problem when I use the web version. When I try to go to the second page of posts (by clicking next or scrolling down) it seems to hang forever. Is this affecting others or just me?

 

Today I haven't been able to login through Jerboa. It worked fine in the past. I downloaded Voyager to try and it failed as well. Weirdly the browser works perfectly fine. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks, friends!

 

I noticed a repository's .gitattributes entry for *.csv used text eol=crlf so I investigated and found this.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

 

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 
 

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

Powering my GPU and rails (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by JackbyDev@programming.dev to c/buildapc@lemmy.world
 

This will likely have some technical inaccuracies because I've never dealt with something this specific with PSUs. I have two slots for PCIe. I have a 3070 ti which has two 8 pin connectors. Each of this PSU's cords for the PCIe slots (minus that mysterious 600W one which I think is not for anything I'm doing due to the size) goes from the 12 pin on the PSU to two separate 8 pin connectors (well, 6 with the optional 2).

My gut feeling is to just plug a single cord from the PCIe slots I to the two slots on my GPU. But I'm wondering about what would happen if I plugged two cords into the PCIe slots separately and then put a single connector into the GPU from each. Would that be better/worse/the same/catastrophic?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with dividing the current among the different rails in the PSU or something? It has a little jumper to enable "overclocking" which does something like combining the rails, but I'd rather not fool with that. And it also might be totally unrelated to the other question. The jumper is, of course, just out of view of the pic, but it's also not really relevant.

Edit: I went with one and it's working fine.
