id imagine if you have the location of a site that the largest pipes visible from satellite photography would be consistently scaled in some manner with the tank size. this is guess

Will it then be possible to query TJunc hotspot temps on linux?
pardon but aren't disks usually the bottleneck? im all for CUDA acceleration and CUDA accelerating culture
Something like fpcalc for soundbytes? Neat
Is anyone else thinking of cracking open the back cover and desoldering any wireless chips found? I have had a firewall rule to deny my LG TV and related domains, but that doesn't look to be enough

I'm going to see how this shakes out on my machine with a few 3090s. I see you all are leveraging some custom cuda kernels, so it may not work out of the box on Ampere (30xx) architecture yeah?

I often do my best to represent a genuine interest in the subject at hand and learning in general to models. Imagine the model's response prose and mannerisms being on the other polar end of answering questions simply to get the correct answers as they're often scoped for on quantitative benchmarks. Not sure I explained this well, sorry. An LLM could help

I was expecting some sort of fungal network with measurable compute on initial glance. Then the article image couldn't help but look quite like the outline of an Earthbound entity.

A memory of theirs. Trying to use some heavily quantized gpt-3 era toddler to assist the development of a project. Maybe. A blind posit. Yea

Re:Using XDG-Compliant Config Files – WxWidgets on Monday June 08, 2026 @05:51PM (#48452737)
Genuinely curious- what would the cross platform compatibility help with? Ease of migration? I don't remember configuring many win programs with notation like such, just the PATH
i thought it mainly implied architectural/hardware compatibility and deterministic output

The TDP to memory bandwidth& capacity ratio form these blades is in a class of its own, yes?

Re:Apple Business on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @03:33PM (#47507862)
You may want to look into Karabiner Elements. Understandable if one doesn't want to have to allow a privileged daemon access to key inputs, but it allows for complex, application-focus-aware shortcuts. In the past I used a "Windows on MacOS" config preset because it allowed for my 60~70 key keyboard to operate similarly across win/linux/macos. Finally killed my last windows boot drive and main linux... but I do have a ritualistic annual step into a windows vm to file taxes on crack err with a crakced turbotax hehehe. In-tooits lobbying malpractice is deserving of petty flippancy
Re:Waymo 13x safer than human drivers on Thursday March 19, 2026 @04:51PM (#47445899)
I'm only a little weirded out when they're right next to me stopped at a light and that thang is spinnin and making note of me
Re:Waymo 13x safer than human drivers on Thursday March 19, 2026 @04:50PM (#47445876)
I've been observing their behavior in Atlanta for about the past year. Our roads here are fairly curvy, hilly, and lacking of expected markings, yet I haven't seen a driverless Waymo vehicle make a single odd move. One thing that brought a smile to my face was when I came to a 4-way stop at the same time as a Waymo vehicle at night & I flash my brights to tell the other vehicle to go ahead (southern hospitality) and I see the Waymo immediately begin its course through the intersection. I was so jolted that I began to tail it in order to pull up next to it to see if there was a human behind the wheel. Watching it drive down this slowly descending hilly road with intermittent speed humps and cars parked alongside the main right lane gave me a close up view of its slightly curving trajectory and braking behavior with regard to the humps. My thought on human or not was inconclusive until we reached a red light, and as I shot my eyes over and saw an empty driver seat, I smiled widely knowing that the software responds to brights flashed at 4-way stops (please don't tell me it doesn't and it just saw me indecisively not initiate at the stop). Thanks for reading
Re:GPT-5.3-Codex on Thursday February 05, 2026 @05:04PM (#46906040)
This is most likely an inference serving problem in terms of capacity and latency given that Opus X and the latest GPT models available in the API have always responded quickly and slowly, respectively
