Ah thanks, I was so frustrated OP didn’t make this meta 😅

And model 1 was even cheaper (but I guess these values should be indexed on inflation anyway)

But isn’t that still on par with xorg where you can’t have any fractional scaling?

I suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍

I’m not sure this is true, most of recent big tech changes seem to have been driven through a “invest a lot at loss, then monetize” model. So I don’t think this relies on demand anymore.

I think it was world of warcraft. As a kid I had a very bad computer, so windows (Vista I think ?) Gave me something like 15 fps while Linux+Wine gave me 20. It already felt like wizardry that I had better performance while needing a compatibility layer.

I have also some memories of discovering a new land of freedom. When i plugged a CD from the library, Ubuntu’s default music player had a popup “wanna install anti-DRM plugins & make a copy of those tracks?”

Well at this period of time one of the interns will have removed Firefox’s user agent from the whitelist most Google services by mistake again.

If so, I just hope antitrust lawsuits will be fast enough so that it doesn’t build up a bad reputation for Firefox …

Aller hop, les 5min de télévision pour l’année, histoire de bien me rappeler que je rate rien dans cette merde 👍

Ma copine parle de faire pareil mais je sait pas trop quoi en penser. Si tous les avis d’opposition décident de fuir, ça ne fait que contribuer au probleme, non ? 🙁

Franchement une fois que tu as une seedbox et un Plex de setup c’est beaucoup plus agréable à utiliser :

• pas besoin de passer plusieurs minutes à chercher sur quelle plateforme est un film pour finalement découvrir qu’il n’est dispo qu’en location
• pas de films lockés en 480p le soir parce que parfois Netflix ne tiens pas son traffic
• offline 100% fonctionnel, sur PC comme mobile
• … j’en manque certainement

Du coup c’est très étrange, j’ai essayer de passer full streaming avec l’abonnement combiné le plus cher de canal, mais :

• ça a pas marché, certains films et série ne sont dispo sur aucune plateforme mainstream française (Rick & Morty, le cinéma asiatique un peu niche, au service de la France n’était dispo nulle part il y a quelques semaines, …), donc je télécharge encore, mais beaucoup moins
• j’ai l’impression de payer plus cher pour moins bien, comme un achat militant, sauf que là 80% de mon argent doit aller dans de “mauvaises” poches

En plus c’est à l’exact opposé du discours qu’il avait eu avec la 5g, où il se moquait de ceux qui voudraient “un retour à la lampe à huile”. Cf. lemonde.fr/…/emmanuel-macron-defend-le-tournant-d…

To be honest, phishing emails are so bad that I don’t see how any generational AI couldn’t be better. Just making less than two typos per sentence would e enough.

Someone explained me that it may be intentional that phishing emails are so bad as it acts as a pre-filter, then you only spend time and ressources dealing with presumably very gullible people.

Trying to get back to Google after a few years on DDG then Qwant felt really off. Kagi was the real deal for me but it is still to expensive for the average consumer 😕

Bogasse, 7 months ago

As a very aware consumer I think it’s fair, but a larger audience would be hard to convince :

• Internet is basically perceived as free for most people, in particular search engine is considered as one of the most obvious features as it is the entry point
• Google is still perceived as “the quality search engine” and others as the shitty ones that would trick you into using them during the 2000’s via intrusive browser extensions. Recent popular alternatives always an argument other than the quality : privacy, charity, sovereignty, …
• Most people can’t make the difference between “Search Engine” and “Web Browser”. I would say it is because of Google because Google Chrome successfully marked itself as “Google”. This last one is scary to me, even people very confortable with computers can’t make the difference and are not aware that a search engine is just a website and that it is not tied to a browser.

To convince someone to use Kagi, you must change their mind about these three points, and then convince them to spend 60$/year for it.

That awesome to see traction on this feature. Does someone have any idea on how it could behave in an async context?

Bogasse, 8 months ago

If you subscribe for a whole year it only costs 599$ !

Which sucks btw, it is sometimes as bad as libreoffice at being compatible with office (desktop) documents… 🙄

I’m on your side on this one, I always start my messages by adjusting the number of blank lines. And also it always frighten me that I might be breaking some kind of convention 😱

Is there currently any drawback in using bazzite compared to stock SteamOS? Like stability-wise or missing feature missing?

Bogasse, 8 months ago

If you’re too lazy t replace SSD, the native btrfs support of Bazzite might do the trick :p

Steam Input & double touchpad is also an insane feature. Right now my main game is Dofus : a turn based tactical MMORP. This game is probably one of the most keyboard+mouse I could have thought of, however it has A LOT of keyboard shortcut. I maybe spent one hour fine tuning my layout and now it feels almost better playing it in console mode.

Turning a PC game into a console game like this almost feels like magic, I really love this big boy and really hope it will have successors in the distant future.

And also this game is not even on steam, the global openness of Valve letting me do whatever the f**k I want with my device is very welcome.

The UI can be a bit tedious but it is intuitive, with a bit of training and exploration you should be able build anything you have in mind. Enhancing community layout can also help, for example I usually map back buttons to joystick buttons because it would hurt my thumbs.

If you want a fun thing to start exploring, I’d suggest touch and radial menus. They are a pretty unique feature and it’s pretty easy to make them useful on games with keyboard shortcuts mapped to some settings.

Aslo, have a try on online tutorials 🙂

Et bien pire encore, t’as pas idée

I suppose the compression process looks like this :

• call the model to predict the most probable next tokens (this is deterministic)
• encode next tokens by with its ranking in model prediction

If the model is good at predicting what the next token is, I suppose you need only 2bits to encode each token (for any of the top 4 predictions).
