Can't guarantee for the splash of color but I've had my eye on Fossil Hybrid smartwatch gen 6 for everything else you mentioned. It's maybe worth a look?

I can understand AMD not actively working on this solution since it gains them little while costing a hefty amount of developer time. Especially considering the fact that nVidia will be able to arbitrarily break this implementation with every update. What I don't understand is why they would take it down completely, is there some safety concern or are we in the 11 competing standards xkcd again?

The reasons for closing haven't really been elaborated on, just commented on as sad and devastating; I haven't managed to glean anything more from the rest of the article.

However, it's incredible to me to keep an organization like this going for 17 years. The landscape is constantly shifting and looking back at the world and technology from 2007, and even 2014, they've survived a lot. Going down now just shows how bad the market is in reality.

Not op but seems like an overkill for this app.

Maybe you'd be better served by something like Toggl? You can create projects and really finely track time in it. Also the web ui gives you option to export a nice report on any given period for your tracked time.

Its amazing to me that it has become such a default, similarly to Slack before it. At least some Slack communities tried and worked on getting the channels indexed so that it shows up during web searches, now with discord I need an account just to view the content...

A hard pass from me, especially when an answer to a simple question requires me to drink from their firehose of a search...

Love the self-consciousness of it all, even having a "Should this exist" with an XKCD that jumped right to my mind as soon as I read the title.

Honestly, as someone who has to periodically jump into Python to do some scraping and data wrangling I dearly hope we land on something that is sane and maintainable in the near future. I'm just so tired of (ana)conda, poetry, pyenv, and even pip itself.

This strongly resonates with my memory of Marshall McLuhan and his book Understanding Media: Extensions of man; Where he defines media as any extension of ourselves or our senses. Arguing that a car (but in essence) its wheels, are extensions of our legs, and by giving us the ability to traverse further faster shaped our perception and the evolution of society.

However it's a large book and I'll have to give it a reread since this is based on a vague recollection. But it's been in my mind more and more lately, especially with all the AI hype in the news.

The efficiency of Apple silicon is a matter of fact now, however isn't nVidia with its cuda still king in this segment? Please correct me if I'm wrong but doing ml/dl on CPU instead of GPU seems to be the least efficient way to go about it?

It definitely fulfilled my expectations for the joke part :)) Regardless, there is quite a bit of source available in the git repo so it shows it can be done even though it chugs quite a bit.
