Need to check it immediately, it looks on point. Every other theme I saw over the years was always somewhat off.
I love this aesthetic from Vista / 7 so much.
Ig I was to compare the black plague with Ebola I could also make it look like a walk in the park. Both of the countries you mention are, politically (!), a huge pile of shit.
Of course China got a high GDP-PPP as the whole world used it as cheap manufacturing plant. However PPP doesn't indicate the quality of goods, just the amount you can buy per unit of currency. An electrical tooth brush from temu might be technically the same kind of product as one from Braun, but definitely not the same. Also the fact they use literal slaves (not just wage-slaves) in domestic production that make cheap shit completely screws up any proper comparison, especially if you dare to also compare quality of life.
Of course they build more infrastructure, they're the country with highest population on earth. Their infrastructure however is cheap shit and already crumbles away. Also, compared to the US any rich country can do better in this regard, that's not hard.
Of course the standard of living in metropolitan areas as of China have a higher chance of being better than in the US given the lack of centralized big box stores and walkability of the area. However the statistics China provides especially for those social things are proven to be full of shit, their suppression of poor people alone completely screws up any comparison. And don't even start with rural areas…
So yeah, you should really stop consuming so much tankie propaganda and comparing two shit show governments.
Ah yes, the country that officially ended poverty because they ordered it to.
Those people under bridges especially foreigners shall not see must all be trendy social media influencers trying the latest hype, being homeless.
Their statistics are just utterly made up, this is blatant propaganda.
Yeah, same with Codestral. You have to tell it what to do very specifically, and once it gets stuck somewhere you have to move to a new session to get rid of the history junk.
Both it and ChatGPT also repeatedly told me to save binary data I wanted to store in memory as a list, with every 1024 bytes being a new entry… in form of a string (supposedly). And the worst thing is that, given the way it extracted that data later on, this unholy implementation from hell would've probably even worked up to a certain point.
This. I absolutely prefer to be a tone-deaf fucker among tone-deaf fuckers if that means my ambulance arrives timely after someone tried car buttsex at 260 kmh. (162 mph)
What, speed limits? Don't you dare touch my freedom.
Good luck finding a spot to land somewhere close within Manhattan. Unless you happen to have the heart attack next to a car park (or the central park) that also happens to not be heavily used right now there's hardly any spot to safely land.
in London and other cities it's less of a problem given we don't build that many high rise buildings and got more big old market places and small parks.
He must've copied it from gay tourists who did it in front of him! Surely it's just a show of completely non-sexual dominance. They're just really good friends. /s
Indeed, it's not their main goal either. Unfortunately tools like Lutris, while doing awesome work, are utterly overwhelmed by both the influx of people as well as the amount of games. And while most GOG games work with the auto-generated installers, many do not and require custom installers that are often unmaintained and quickly become outdated.
This is also global, not even US data; iPhones are phenomenally more popular over there than anywhere else as far as I know. This is also one of the reasons some seriously begin to believe Android would be a "poor man's phone".
Depends on which GPU you compare it with, what model you use, what kind of RAM it has to work with, ecetera. NPU's are purpose-built chips after all. Unfortunately the whole tech is still very young, so we'll have to wait for stuff like ollama to introduce native support for an apples-to-apples comparison. The raw numbers to however do look promising.
May take a look at systems with the newer AMD SoC's first. They utilize the systems' RAM and come with a proper NPU, once ollama or mistral.rs are supporting those they might give you sufficient performance for your needs for way lower costs (incl. power consumption). Depending on how NPU support gets implemented it might even become possible to use NPU and GPU in tandem, that would probably enable pretty powerful models to be run on consumer-grade hardware at reasonable speed.
Those PCs we had back then weren't necessarily smaller. 😅 I think we just cared less.
That said, Mini-ITX builds are pretty nice and also in fashion right now. And when it comes to beloved old games anyone can just get an old laptop for the price of one Domino's Pizza off of ebay and start playing.
Got one of those here. Some old 15€ junker with Intel HD 2000, but that thing will chug through anything from Unreal Tournament to Quake, Age of Empires, Warcraft, Forsaken, Total Annihilation, Dungeon Keeper, Command & Conquer, NFS…
Europe also tries their best to improve the situations in the other mines (some are so awful they're basically off-limit for western companies because of child slavery and such stuff) and find new patches for example in Scandinavia or middle- and south America which could then be extracted with the respective countries.
Brussel does a lot of bullshit, sometimes phenomenally so (in the end it's just politics as well), but in this case they really seem to try.
Don't be fooled too hard by propaganda though. We also got tests of flying cars in other countries, it was a beloved subvention target of some german politicans as well… but it's just not economically viable, and for the filthy rich it isn't in any way better than a helicopter for now.
They also said some nonsense about having "a train that can go anywhere" which was just a fucking bendy bus, and their infrastructure keeps falling apart due to no or absurdly bad quality control (which other countries can also do very well)… so yeah, China is just stupid in different ways. To put it mildly.
It was dark humour. Given how dark it was it probably got murdered on the way to you as well.
