I was looking at buying a house with big transmission lines crossing over the property. It was a misty not-quite-raining day when I went to look at it, and you could hear the lines crackling and humming the whole time you were outside. I figured I’d have to give up ham radio if I moved there, ha.
Flagged for malware advertisements when I opened the link.
You don't have to have a server, workstation motherboards support lots of memory channels.
I was lucky to buy a lot of RAM before prices skyrocketed. I knew I wanted to play with this stuff, so I spent what felt like a lot of money at the time to buy 8x96GB DDR5-6400 RDIMMs. Now the same RAM costs at least 6x more.
I think that's a lot better. "Please explain your wrongness" really had me scratching my head. Hopefully they can make improvements to the 3D architecture or find someone who can help.
You're right, it's just additional text that allows it to do thinking / reasoning-like behavior. The big proprietary models hide the real output from the user and instead provide a friendly abridged version, but that's just to protect their secret sauce from distillation.
Ah, I don't follow him directly so I only ever hear about the computer-related stuff.
I'm at my computer now and I took a second look, and honestly that beige edition is damn good nostalgia bait. I still find it to be an odd direction to go, but it does look very good for what it is.
Retrocomputing Roundtable has talked about the new Commodore company over the course of a couple episodes, and I thought they brought up a good point about “what is it that people actually want from Commodore,” and the best answer they came up with is “to be 12 again.”
A new C64 with modern video output, a disk emulator, a SID chip replacement so you don’t need an original… that’s all good, but beyond that, it’s hard to say. This phone, though? I don’t think anyone saw that coming, and I don’t see how this could possibly be the right move.
Kind of orthogonal. Traditional AWD and part-time 4WD systems are solutions to get power from a single motor to both the front and rear of a vehicle. AWD has a center differential to account for differences in front and rear driveshaft speeds when driving on high-traction surfaces. 4WD just locks the front and rear driveshaft rotation together, which is a simple and robust solution that only works on loose surfaces.
With separate front and rear electric motors, there's no center differential to worry about, and a sufficiently sophisticated motor control system can make it behave well on and off road.
Interesting! Yeah, that's quite expensive. For some reason I was thinking some of the useful cobots I had seen in the past were in the $10k range, but from a brief look around, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I have the GPU but no robot. What’s the minimum viable robot needed to play with this?
Yeah. Not linking as an endorsement -- I do think it's cool, but it's not worth it for that price.
Things like this have started to show up on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/198383386991

8654 to PCIe Adapter Card 1An additional complication is that MI250Xes are two GPUs in one package, so you need to connect the first and last x16 SERDES groups to the host, otherwise you'll only see one GPU (or it won't work at all, idk).
Also, the cheap HPE pulls on eBay need some proprietary HPE magic to work, and I have yet to see anyone figure that out.
Second best in my opinion. Interstella 5555 is a masterpiece.
Studies often measure and quantify things that we believe to be true.
Do you mean in practice, or something? DP definitely supports HDR, and it seems to work fine for me.
Make it make sense
It's not hypocrisy when different people do different things.
That’s how industrial VFDs do motor overload protection, they just keep track of heat accumulation (based on current) vs dissipation (based on fan speed) and fault when a threshold is reached. Probably there’s more nuance to it, but that’s the gist of it.
Seems like there's a big risk of having that habit leak into human conversation. A lot of people try really hard to train themselves not to add those fillers.
The article quotes the full price.
Do you have to put it in a build/execute mode (separate from a planning mode) to allow it to move on? I use opencode, and that's how it works.
This can result in some funny interactions. I don't know if Claude will say anything, but I've had some models act "surprised" when I commented on something in their thinking, or even deny saying anything about it until I insisted that I can see their reasoning output.

Yes, however it’s a different format from standard fp16, it trades precision for greater dynamic range.
Yes! Trying to make something that other people want is a good way to take the joy out of a project, and it dulls the uniqueness that could the result something truly special.
I hate this too. You can turn it off. In Settings, go to System->Multitasking and change "Show tabs from apps when snapping or pressing Alt+Tab" to "Don't show tabs."
Parent isn't saying that bespoke scripts are bad, just that it's not worth their time to write them. The value of the bot is that it can do that for you.
My explanation is simpler and does not rely on assuming that anyone is an idiot. Or an edgy contrarian.
I don't think there's so much naivety. People can be aware of the the plan and still be frustrated and disappointed when it happens.
