for some reason I only get 3-4 tokens/sec. I checked the CPU does not throttle or anything.

Will there be an automated cat litterbox integration soon ? ;)

Really awesome build!

Re:Surround Sound in Headphones on Monday April 12, 2021 @08:34AM (#26778654)
per other comments: It seems I am wrong on the support of 7.1 sound on PC games. I have to look into it again and see why it does not enable or show up in my game settings menu's
Re:Surround Sound in Headphones on Monday April 12, 2021 @07:31AM (#26778205)
ex. Fortnite don't seem to support it (but it does support some binaureal sound). When I got the system I ran through a couple of games on my steam Library to try it out and found very few supported it. Most vere based on the big engines (Unity / Unreal) and I kind of just suspected it to be a compile time swith on the devs side, but maybe im wrong - are sounds mixed in a studio and not on a "per source" kind of way ? - maybe they are not really attached to a position.
Re:Surround Sound in Headphones on Monday April 12, 2021 @07:05AM (#26778051)
I have a 5.1 surround system (with real speakers around me) and I find the lack of surround support in games sad. How come not any game supports output to a surround system - they have their sound sources in a 3D environment and should be able to mix a sound output with arbtrary speaker setup ?

Thats pretty much how I remember them as well. And you could use plucker to crawl all the news site and compile a single archive of todays news, to read on the train - offline ofcourse. Everything was offline back then and I kind of begin to miss that :) - I read several books on a palm - all of Harry Potter, some A. C. Clarke and HHGTTG. The thing could go on forever.

Now - reading the comments after watching this for a while - it feels like the comments is zooming away from me.

its called a Walkingpad - licensed by different companies, but they are all the same.
Re:AirPods Max on Tuesday December 08, 2020 @10:28AM (#25346443)
The Airpod Pros works with other devices - but they seem to have a lot of issues though. Loosing sync between each unit and loosing sound and needing reconnect all the time.

That's my personal experience when using them with Windows 10 and Android devices. No issues when using them with Apple devices.

I - like many other - gained some weight during lockdown last winter. Now round 2 of lockdown I figured something needed to be done, So I have invested in a walkingpad (treadmill for walking speed - it folds up and tugs under the bed when I am not using it.) I have been walking for 2 hours WHILE WORKING FROM HOME now and its perfect ! - loosing around 1 kg/week while eating pretty normal (though I am trying to only have 1 big meal a day and just snack the rest of the time). The walking is not hard and I can walk 10km/day without really thinking about it, because time flies by while working. When work time is over I have all my time free and don't need to spend time on excersise. I would highly recommend this. Walking is a low effort thing that burn more calories than you would think. Its also good on general well being to not sit down all the time.
same here! - such a simple solution made my sleep A LOT better. Spend some time trying out earplugs that really fits comfortably, but then it's bliss.
I think about Subnautica all the time - I love that game :) - can't wait for below zero to release!
Re:Ask HN: Peer Programming Without a Peer on Saturday June 20, 2020 @05:50AM (#23582930)
I have actually considered recording it - maybe make "Pomodoro" sessions where the recorder can't be stopped and record the screen and my voice. I could maybe convince myself these recordings are valuable to myself or maybe be shown to others in the future and get the "rubber duck" effect that way without burdening others. I think I need the "now were live!" state of mind somehow and this could be it. Maybe these recordings stored in a organized way could also serve as a kind of journal in the future. I will look into this.

Real streaming is not an option - the code and information on the screen is private. But for my private projects I have tried streaming to twitch and it kind of works in the same motivational way.

Ask HN: Peer Programming Without a Peer

TL;DR: Peer programming makes me productive - how can I get into the same state of mind without a peer?So the last 3 months has taught me something about myself. Solitude makes my brain explode in inspiration and ideas very easy to explore without anyone looking over my shoulder and at home with easy access to all my hobbies and beloved gadgets. - I'm pretty sure now I could get an ADD...

Re:Ask HN: How to rediscover the joy of programming? on Tuesday April 14, 2020 @08:54AM (#22865230)
You could rediscover programming with kids. Likely there is a local codo dojo or the like. When you have to dig down the lower layers of your programming skills to explain the most basic things in a fun way, you might remember why it was fun to you as well once.
