Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam AltmanEnglish
101·5 months agoYes, actually. They’re both different mixes of plutonium isotopes. Iirc reactor grade plutonium is far more stable than weapons grade (because blowing up is less desirable for reactors than bombs), and has some different properties when used.

Programming@programming.dev•I feel like I should know this but seems like no
5·1 year agoi second the comment that you need to consider why you want to do this. You generally need a pretty good reason to split your codebase into multiple languages.
As far as actually doing it, you have a ton of different options, some of which have been mentioned here. Some i can think of off the top of my head:
- create a library (dll or so file or the like)
- set up a web server and use communication protocols (either web socket or rest API or the like)
- use a 3rd party communication/messaging framework like MQ or kafka or something
- create your own method of communication. Something like reading and writing to a file on disk, or a database and acting on the information plopped in
basically every approach is going to require you to come up with some sort of API that the two work together through, though, an API in the generic sense is basically a shared contract two disconnected pieces of code use to communicate.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•FF7 Rebirth: Valve Messes Up with The Verified Rating Again
3·1 year agosame. Ive played it for about ~10 hours on the steam deck so far, and i have my FPS counter turned on at all times; never seen it dip below 40, and i dont think ive touched any settings. On an original steam deck, not an OLED, though

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•I got an old game working through WINE that wouldn't work through Windows' compatibility mode
6·1 year agowindows can still play castle of the winds? i play it all the time. In fact, i just booted it up again a moment ago to make sure it didnt break recently or something. I dont remember ever having any issues playing it, and ive played it off and on for decades. In fact, googling real quick, it looks like my abandonware even has a “easy installer” for it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?English
1917·2 years agoFWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that’s still the case.
The people’s perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists illuminate a path to quantum AGI with new light-based chipsEnglish
7·2 years agoI guess that would just be a GPU?
Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They’re purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.
However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don’t know what’s reasonable.
I don’t know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I’d just be bashing my head against the wall. I don’t know if they’re laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.
List out some ideas you’re thinking of. While it may not be obvious to you, someone who is seasoned (me or someone else) might notice at least a general theme or idea to point you in the right direction for where you should go and what you should learn, regardless of if the projects are reasonable.
Note - Most projects take teams to realize, so if your ideas are too large, they might not generally be feasible alone.
What are you looking to actually do with your programming skills? That will heavily influence which languages to recommend you learn. Do you want to make websites? build games? do AI stuff? Create enterprise-level software? something else?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediatelyEnglish
5·2 years agoI agree with the other poster; you should look into proxmox. I migrated from ESXi to proxmox 7-8 years ago or so, and honestly its been WAY better than ESXi. The migration process was pretty easy too, i was able to bring over the images from ESXi and load them directly into proxmox.
I mean, blob (and object storage in general) has been used as a term for a long time. It isn’t particularly new, and MS didn’t invent it.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] Steam Deck Emulators [2 Weeks Later]
13·2 years agothats because they legally cant include the cores in the steam version. You’re able to go add any additional cores you want, however.
That’s friend’s name? Jason Parsor

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questionsEnglish
8·2 years agoRunning arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I don’t think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.
I’m essentially doing this with my set up. I have a box running proxmox and a separate networked nas device. There aren’t really any changes, per se, other than pointing the *arr installs at the correct mounts. One thing to make note of, i would make sure that your download, processing, and final locations are all within the same mount point, so that you can take advantage of atomic moves.

Technology@lemmy.world•An After-School Program Teaches Teens Java and PythonEnglish
2·2 years agoAs of java 21, you can actually just use:
void main()
Notepad++ is perfectly fine to code in. With the wealth of plugins it has, it’s pretty similar to vscode in how you can trick it out with all sorts of things it can’t do by default.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilegeEnglish
2·3 years agoI have mediacom as well, but in a larger city of the midwest. They have datacaps here too, and i was paying about $100 for exactly this same plan up until a couple years ago. They started upgrading our speeds/caps because a new fiber company (metronet) is building in the area. Now i’m on 1 gbps down and a 4 TB cap. I still plan to switch to metronet when they finally light up my area, as its cheaper for the same speeds (plus no data caps)

Technology@lemmy.world•Hot take: LLM technology is being purposefully framed as AI to avoid accountabilityEnglish
251·3 years agoEven more frustrating when you realize, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, these new “AI” programs and LLMs aren’t really novel in terms of theoretical approach: the real revolution is the amount of computing power and data to throw at them.
This is 100% true. LLMs, neural networks, markov chains, gradient descent, etc. etc. on down the line is nothing particularly new. They’ve collectively been studied academically for 30+ years. It’s only recently that we’ve been able to throw huge amounts of data, computing capacity, and time to tweak said models to achieve results unthinkable 10-ish years ago.
There have been efficiencies, breakthroughs, tweaks, and changes over this time too, but that’s just to be expected. But largely its just sheer raw size/scale that’s just been achievable recently.

Technology@lemmy.world•Hot take: LLM technology is being purposefully framed as AI to avoid accountabilityEnglish
305·3 years agoI’m not sure what you’re trying to say here; LLMs are absolutely under the umbrella of AI, they are 100% a form of AI. They are not AGI/STRONG AI, but they are absolutely a form of AI. There’s no “reframing” necessary.
No matter how you frame it, though, there’s always going to be a battle between the entities that want to use a large amount of data for profit (corporations) and the people who produce said content.


Quite possible. I’m not an expert and working from memory, so I could very well get something wrong
