1 day agoModern graphics cards pack a lot of functionality. Shading units, Ray tracing, video encoding/deciding. NPU is just the part needed to accelerat Neural nets.

Basically yes. They come with an NPU (Neural processing unit) which is hardware acceleration for matrix multiplications. It cannot do graphics. Slap whatever NPU into the chip, boom: AI laptop!
I had to control my laugh during a meeting :D
Sometimes I just hate the autocorrect on my phone… I meant to write “shot glass of rhum”
You can make banane flambée !
- Split the bananas length-wise as good as possible, they should split in 3.
- lay them done in a pan
- heat it until hot, no need to cook them too much
- sprinkle with powdered sugar
- prepare a
shitshot glass of brown rhum and some matches (or lighter) - pour the shot on the bananas and light it on fire !!! 🔥
- turn of the heat, let it extinguish buy itself
Et voilà ! You have delicious caramelized banana desert!

Who cares about photorealism ? Artistic direction just has to be consistent to contribute to the world building. Other than that, I think many will agree with me that most important are: good writing (characters and story arcs), good gameplay, creative concepts.
I feel like outdated software on the stable distro like Debian has become less of a problem with the development of flatpak.

Ardour is definitely professional grade, but I must say that it’s far from simple to setup. First, you may not have the latest version available in you SW repository and you would have to compile it yourself! Then, despite all the progress brought by pipewire, audio config in Linux is complicated and unreliable, especially for this time of work, requiring different audio devices, MIDI control interfaces and VSTs.
I am not an audio professional, I’m an amateur, and found myself demotivated by the amount of work required until I am ready to create music, and finally gave up :(
I use Duplicity to backup my home directory, excluding Steam and Downloads folders. It is setup to backup weekly to my NAS mounted as NFS. The NAS has a weekly cron task to upload the backups to pCloud using rclone. I backup this way, several computers (2 desktop, 2 laptop, the NAS as well). The files included in this strategy are essentially my photos, documents and configs. My software installations, games, media library are not backed up.
Nice mineral collection, and nice Prusa ;)
OMG, here we go again…
I am curious to see the next series from AMD. I am wishing for a new gaming rig for about a year now. I was really considering getting the 7900XT/XTX. If the mid-range for the next gen is performing well, that might just do it.

I have tried openSCAD and FreeCAD, they are both good in their own right, but utimatly they also both have very steep learning curves. I suppose Blender can also be used for CAD but I have no experience with it. I just want to quickly design some parts for 3D printing as a hobby and don’t feel like spending hundreds of hours learning those tools. I am current using Onshape.com, it works well on Linux/Firefox, suits my needs and free to use with some limitations. But it is proprietary :(
It all depends on the GPU. If it’s something integrated in the CPU it will probably not so better, if it’s a 2000$ dedicated GPU with 48GB of VRAM is will be very powerful for Neural Net computing. NPUs are most often implemented as small, low-power, embedded solutions. Their goal is not to compete with data centers or workstations, it’s to enable some basic “AI” features on portable devices. E.g: “smart” camera with object recognition to give you alerts.
