  • In theory at least, if you have a math problem, and a protocol for how to ask a real calculator to compute it, the model can ask a real calculator to compute the value of an expression.

    I don’t know if anyone has done it, but it is feasible. Could also be extended to more robust solving tools. Think matlab and the like.

  • If both h264 and hevc are stuttering using hardware decoding, something might be wrong. Try setting up Apollo or sunshine on your remote PC, and add Moonlight to your deck using the desktop App Store.

    There are lots of guides online for how to install Moonlight and add it to your deck’s games list.

    If that works smoothly with hardware decoding, then the problem is with remote play.

    I wrote out the rest of this before rereading your post and want to put it out there for others:

    If you’re having issues with hevc, switch back to h264.

    Hevc is more computationally complex to encode/decode, so if you’re trying to do either with software, then it would be better to use the less compressed h264.

    Network congestion over WiFi, as you pointed out, is often also a culprit.

    What is your domicile like? An apartment with lots of nearby apartments? Freestanding house? WiFi congestion gets worse with more people using it.

    If you have a dock, plug in an Ethernet cable to the dock and try streaming that way. Does it mitigate your stutter?

    If so, turn down the bandwidth as much as you can and check (e.g 720p at 30 fps).

    If it is that, buying a higher quality wifi access point may help.

  • OnlyOffice local editors is probably the best drop in replacement for Microsoft office’s basic suite I have found. I’m a professional Linux user stuck in a company that depends on Microsoft products.

    Doesn’t cover email, but is very good for everything else.

    Can also edit PDF files, sort of. Doesn’t always format well on conversion from PDF to editable, but still workable in some cases

  • That’s definitely part of it. Also not an expert, but I believe you have the gist of it. Diesel engines are more efficient for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is more efficient heat capture to use for Work.

    Another factor would be that if you want to do an oil combustion into steam power, you have a few issues:

    1. You now have to lug around a LOT of both fuel and water, instead of just water and dry coal. Water and oil are both heavy by comparison to coal when lugging a train car of it around.
    2. you now have two areas for heat loss to happen. Steam engines require massive boilers, high heat, and run much greater worst case failure risks (I.e. explosions) which are at highest risk when the water runs out. Coal is worse for this than I imagine oil would be, though inertia is a powerful force. Why move to another complicated system that does the same thing when you can use the old one?
    3. Supply lines and training: if coal is already managed logistically, why switch to something else that provides a marginal benefit when coal is both cheap, easily accessed, and your engineers already know how to use it?

    I’m sure there are even better reasons out there, but that’s what comes off the top of my head.
