  • I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

    Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.




  • Gonna do this soon as well. Used to use syncthing for auto photo transfers and I’m tired of Bitwarden’s crappy UI and terrible interop with autofill/autogenerate.

    It’ll probably never happen due to the nature of KBDX, but I would kill to make a resilient native sync feature so that orgs wouldn’t be locked into proprietary vaults which drags you into vendor lock in when one of them starts to tank.



  • It’s been downloaded over 20 billion times. It supports 25+ protocols. It’s in cars, refrigerators, TV sets, routers, printers, phones, and every goddamn server on the planet.

    Everything except my random podman container I need to test something on, but for some reason will have wget lmao.

    Also a good time to mention you can use Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to edit your multi line commands in your default terminal editor so you can keep a clean, line separated command which is easy to read and follow.







  • In a way it has actually.

    Deepseek was big because not only did they publish the full model for everyone to use, but the MoE structure significantly brought down the hardware requirements in terms of processing power. As long as you have enough VRAM, you can run it on older hardware with no need for the latest Nvidia stuff.

    Now they got v4 which many have found to be within a 10% margin of Claude and ChatGPT.

    On top of that, China has cheapo VRAM GPUs available or soon to be released, like the MTT S80. Yeah it sucks as a Graphics card because the chip is behind, but you get 16Gb of GDDR6 for much cheaper than anything else.

    But its not a conspiracy to fight China. The infinite scaling was just Nvidia solidifying themselves as the monopoly because they want all AI infrastructure to be dependent on them, which is why they still illegally export to China, despite an export ban attempting to reduce their potential competition.

    Moore Threads (MTT) already has their own CUDA like system called MUSA, and I’m sure they’ll be happy to put in proper hardware support for new stuff like Bf16 and FP8/4. It’ll take a few years, but eventually China will catch up to the point where Nvidia gets shanked by cheaper hardware.


  • Lol please. America already gutted its entire industrial base to the point where there’s a permanent shortage of blue collar jobs, and most people are working crappy wages in a service role for whichever megacorp owns the entire market.

    AI could take over tomorrow and there wouldn’t be enough people to care, despite getting utterly screwed over.

    It might only get ugly if purchasing power collapses and causes solvency. Otherwise it’ll just continue to degrade into an infinite debt economy which is basically just generational slavery like a significant portion of exploited labor and human trafficking already is.

    Don’t worry though, there’s a million other problems that’ll probably pop the bubble first anyway lol.




  • mlg@lemmy.worldtoLinux@lemmy.mlDo you use vim?

    I’m at the point where I’m considering moving to vim because I’m sick of the lack of good defaults on Nano and Micro for quick edits, and I’m also tired of IDEs breaking my flow with poor defaults that pop open UI components which must be navigated differently depending on what it is, or just switching back to the mouse every couple seconds.

    Just haven’t made the jump yet because I want to sit down and go through all the hot keys in one go, including for global stuff like tmux, the DE, etc.


    • Linux: the final boss, unbelievable

    Shows you don’t bother to actually read the mailing list or even just keep up with the open source development discussion.

    Linux was probably one of the first places AI was invovled in because it’s a well documented highly used software which makes it an easy test bed for LLMs to showcase their abilities.

    That was 3 years ago when GPT 3 released.

    That absolutely does not mean it has vibe coded slop being added to it. Bad code is still bad code, and Linus will happily tear you a new one (and hand out a ban) for submitting such garbage in a merge request.

    Again, these type of posts are dumb and throw outrage at the wrong target. All this anger and disappointment should be directed at the bubble pumping machine like Nvidia, OpenAI, MSFT, etc.

    All of these foss project devs would probably have no problem using a local LLM in their work (which many already do) since the hardware requirements have been steadily falling, despite Nvidia’s efforts to enforce their stranglehold on cloud demand.




  • mlg@lemmy.worldtoFuck AI@lemmy.worldNo good outcome here

    People replying to this with “muh enterprise” don’t understand that I can still plug in a Supermicro server with the correct power input, spin up Linux, and do whatever the hell I want with my giga ultra 8x NVlink GPU 2X Xeon CPU morbillion dollar server.

    Now even though it will be sold for a measly couple thousand dollars after the collapse, it doesn’t mean I can’t burn through my unemployment savings to have fun lol.
