Hmmm interesting, Ferrari also got their fastest pit stop in the last race. I wonder why we suddenly see these fast pit stops in Qatar. Does it have something to do with the circuit? Maybe with the forced pitstops after X laps? I don't really see how it happened, but it's interesting that it happened for 2 teams

That sounds very idealistic, but not very practical. I use my computer for deep learning projects. Since AMD and Intel are way behind, I almost have to use Nvidia. How would I stop making myself dependent on Nvidia? Give up my hobby/interest in deep learning? Stop playing the games I like? Help with programming a CUDA replacement myself in the very limited free time coding that I have time and energy for? We don't live in some utopia, it's often not possible to ditch these companies even if they act like absolute cunts.

I'm just saying that it doesn't matter whether we agree or not. If the choice is made to drop X support and Nvidia doesn't fix Wayland, a lot of people will end up in a mess when trying Linux for the first time and might turn back to Windows/Mac. I agree that no volunteer should do anything they don't want to do. But in the world we live in that does mean we have a problem

I don't think it's meant to encourage him. The encouragement has already been tried in the months before, now it seems like they're over to issuing warnings. Improve or we're putting someone else in the car.

I agree that volunteers shouldn't have to maintain legacy just because a private company doesn't have their shit together. But the reality is that a lot of people have Nvidia hardware. If GNOME and KDE will not work on the most popular gaming GPU brand, we're going to push away a lot of people who are trying to start with Linux but encounter a broken mess.

That's gonna make gaming a lot harder though. And I'm on an AMD CPU. I'm not sure whether it has an internal GPU even. My point is that they'll lose a lot of users by forcing Wayland. I'm not dure Nvidia will care for such pressure

Honestly he looked unwell. Being overheated for that long does weird stuff to your mind.

My problem is that I'm kinda tied to CUDA and thus Nvidia. If AMD's ROCm would've been a bit better and supported on consumer GPUs I would've went for that.

But having a non-NVIDIA card in order to use the latest GNOME doesn't seem reasonable to me. Then again, maybe the pressure will finally make NVIDIA get their shit together

Well let's hope that massively improves the Wayland experience then. I tried it last week and still had flickering screens, laggy windows, and crashing games. In the current state it would be unacceptable for me to switch

I'm also autistic and always attributed this issue to that rather than ad(h)d, but I did think about this and did notice a pattern. There's 2 things that seem to control whether loud music is acceptable for me or whether it overloads my brain:. It eitther needs to be the single source of sound (i.e. festivals, concerts) or it needs to be fully in my control. Preferably both. I can't handle music playing and people talking over it, because they're two sources of sound that I can't effectively filter. When I'm at a show specifically for the music, I hear nothing but the music and it's usually also music that I enjoy. When I have control over the music, it seems to make it easier as well. When I get overloaded I can instantly stop it, which stops the panic situation when my brain starts overloiding and there's not easy escape from the noise.

Edit: and I also listen to pretty fast/noisy music. I assume it's because my mind gets distracted and starts wandering when there isn't enough going on.

Interesting article. I see things like this happen way too often in both personal projects and at work. Everything that was once simple will ultimately become a horrible mess that represents all kinds of invalid states.

Even though I regularly read papers in this field and I generally try to keep up with the state of the art, I keep finding myself exclaiming "wtf" whenever something like this comes out. Like, you can see it made the same mistakes other generatie models make, but then it corrects them (mostly) once we get closer. It wasn't the sharpest or completely flawless, but I'm in awe about the stability across such a long video and about how lifelike it all looks.

Edit: ah it's using world models just like PlaNet did for reinforcement learning. I suspected something like that because of the stability of the generation. Absolutely amazing results.

I was sceptical about the title, but it really do be like that

I don't mind region specific news if it's about tech regulations or something. But a PSA about a regular emergency system test is not that

Yeah that would not work, since a lot of people are in the US and have no consideration for other countries. I don't see how this is relevant to a community about technology. Sure, if they were using some cool and new technology, or a major law had changed, or even an article about how this works, it would be relevant. But this seems like a US-only PSA that doesn't really tell us anything.

Using upvotes only to moderate this type of content will just result in the Reddit issue, where a lot of general-purpose subreddits (like Politics or News) were completely dominated by US topics.

As a developer, I feel absolute pain for the people who had to convert these. There's quite some edge cases and sensitive topics to dodge here, and doing something wrong might piss people off. They must've had some lengthy meetings about a few emoji.

Should we also start posting this whenever any other country is going to do a test? Because I can imagine it'd be quite a busy page then. Not everyone is from the US, so imo we should keep this kinda stuff out of here.

I'm kinda playing too many games in parallel at the moment. I bought Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty and did prepare to start, but I have yet to start the first mission. I played a lot of Barony, which has been great fun. And in between I also played some Whisker Squadron: Survivor, which is a funny little game imo. Cities Skylines 2 is also close to release, so it's gonna get even busier then

Have you seen the downvote ratio of this post? It's at -22 currently

It seems like you're not even allowed to ask this question apparently. It's a combination of a large pre-existing far left base and the more center-left Reddit refugees I think. Lemmy's creators, as well as some big "older" instances like Lemmygrad and Hexbear are all communists. As to why they moved here, I have no idea. Maybe to have a separate space without an overwhelming amount of people with other opinions like they'd face on Reddit? Maybe because they hate corporations and thus don't want to deal with them? Idk.
