I have a older video card. It works "well enough" to drive most uses for a single 4460x1440 monitor, where I don't really play a lot of AAA games (Powerwash Simulator is about the height of it).
I've recently started mucking around with some AI stuff locally. Is it worth getting a more recent card that might be a bit better or just stick with what I've got?
I recently introduced my spouse to the trick of slightly undercooking pasta in the pot, and then adding the dripping pasta to a big frying pan where I've got the sauce heating up. You then cook everything until the sauce turns thick and you're able to see the bottom of the pan after you stir.
This is what restaurants do.
Mind you, she grew up in an Italian household and never knew that technique.
An imperfect administration led by an old guy doing the best they can and actually making progress in the face of overwhelming cheating and pure hate,
or
A convicted felon backed by evil money & power mongers who’s a wannabe fascist dictator who has no compunction about selling America to the highest bidder.
I've proposed the idea to the Signal community that if tools like Recall go out of their way to recognize and ignore DRM'ed content, then messenger programs that want to avoid being recorded should have a small always-on DRM'ed image on display at all times as a defensive measure.
If the tools are there, we might as well put them to good use.
We would be so damn far ahead on power generation and storage if companies didn’t insist on frittering it all on bullshit buzzword that they think will get them $0.05 more.
Not to be one of Those Guys, but running a minimal Linux on a Framework really underscored to me how much power was being wasted on the dumbest crap.
Imagine working for a company that is so well managed, that is so well organized and competently led, that a genuinely felt need for a tool that let you be in three meetings at the same time somehow emerged organically from the working culture as a problem worth solving.
Imagine working somewhere that building a tool that let people be in three meetings at the same time sounded like a good idea.
TIL:
If you send out a meeting invite to a mail list, clicking on the '"Yes" or "No" I will attend' button tries to add the mail list (not you, the mail list recipient) to the meeting, which generally errors out.
If you plan on attending a meeting that's being held a month ago, and you are part of a mail list that got an invite. DO NOT ASSUME CLICKING "YES" MEANS THAT YOU GET A CALENDAR REMINDER! You gotta do that manually, it turns out.
You know, it's always fun to talk to junior or non-tech folk and explain to them that big companies are really a loose confederacy of smaller ones that all use the same badge to get into the cafeteria.
I'd argue that members of two teams do, sometimes, have a meeting where they go over some points.
Those meetings then become the origin of big games of corporate telephone where the final product might have the same name, but is now a messaging / social / email platform instead of a build delivery system.
