I’ve also been on the other side of this. I said 10 times I’m not a good at looking at someone following me while driving. Halfway through we go off the off ramp from the high way and at the end there is a light. I drive up to the light, it’s green. When I’m directly under it, I see it switch to yellow from the corner of my eye. I’m like fuck and check my rear view mirror and the person following me is nowhere to be seen. Turns out when we got to the off ramp I just let the car roll and only braked when getting near the lights (there was a turn directly after the lights). They braked right as they got off for some reason. Yet it was my fault? That’s some BS, especially after I said I wasn’t good at it and didn’t want to do it like that.

Be sure to ask it to put you in another time stream or something. Otherwise going back and forward in time does nothing, as going back also rolls back your memory of the future and going forward is just our normal experience every day. Pausing would be bad, since you would not be able to unpause (as you are paused yourself). But even if it were paused and then resumed after something indeterminate happens, you would not have experienced that pause (nor would anything else in the universe), so it might as well not have happened.

You need to be way more precise with your wording, intent and requirements. And then the genie still screws you over, that’s kinda the point of the genie figure in myths.

Sounds like an excellent idea! If you ever get tired of swapping, an USB capture card is a lot cheaper than a new GPU with current prices. Good luck!

That’s tight fit. If you really need the two capture cards then that’s the room you’ve got to work with. If you can bring it down to just one card at the top that would be a lot better. I personally use a capture card that’s connected using USB3, which works very well and doesn’t require room inside the computer (even though I would have room).

Most videocards have two or three fans on the bottom these days, with such a tight fit one of the fans can easily collide with the capture card. And even when it doesn’t it will have a hard time sucking in air from there. You can try and find a blower type card, but that would be a bit harder to find.

And you wouldn’t happen to have a GPU inside the CPU? Because the iGPUs from AMD are very solid if you don’t need much in terms of performance (easily faster than the 1030 you mentioned). Otherwise two capture cards and a GPU is a big ask in such a small case.

The A series is pretty limited, I would go for a B series if you can find it. But keep in mind drivers for Intel on Windows are terrible and on Linux even worse. So that would not be a good time.

There’s plenty of cards that would fit in 40mm, but your airflow would be pretty bad. Do you have a pic of the inside of your system? There has to be a way to make something more fit.

But most 6600, 7600 and 9060 cards should be able to fit in 40mm. And with AMD the drivers on Linux are very good.

Look for second hand stuff and something like a 6000 series from AMD. Don’t buy cheap videocards new, they always suck.

Oof, that’s a terrible card. The GP108 chip is a rebatched mobile card Geforce MX 150, it’s a pretty ancient chip at this point. There are no drivers for it, so you’ll need to use older drivers or limited open source drivers. Unless you got it very very cheap that’s not going to work very well for you. It’s newer than a GT 220, but not by much.

I think the one I have is 41mm, so that would be a tight fit. Can’t you rearrange the cards a bit to make some room? With only 40mm that would be hard to fit in any modern card.

Yeah I have a RX 7600. It wasn’t brand new, but lightly used, bought it off a friend who upgraded. Paid around $200 for it, so I think a pretty good deal with current pricing.

Yeah get a simple but recent AMD card, older cards, especially nVidia are a nightmare. I had an old 980 TI which was a really good card still, but I couldn’t use it anymore because everything kept breaking. So I got me a recent AMD card and it has been running perfectly.

It is very revealing how the people rebelling against Flock isn’t seen as the people opposing mass surveillance and data being made available to all the cops without cause, due process, oversight, restrictions or consequences for abuse, but instead as the people being against Flock specifically and the same system with a different label would be peachy.

Either they are monumentally stupid or more likely they are corrupt as hell and/or evil.

What is this website? Is it fully AI generated? It slorps the glorp hard tho. Fuck AI

This is cool, good to see you wanting to learn and experiment with stuff. I would recommend you study on the different aspects of current and past OSes. Especially simpler older OSes can give you a lot of insight into what an OS is, what components it has and how those tie together. What you currently have I would describe more as a cool little UEFI demo program and less of an OS. But it’s a great start to build out from.

I would recommend trying to decouple software from hardware. Currently your code is heavily tied to hardware, which is fine in a test environment, but can easily break if the environment is different. Another aspect I would recommend you do a deep dive into is task schedulars. Especially looking at early types like the one from Windows 3.1 compared to the one from Windows 95. These are often used as case studies in schools, because they are easy to understand and offer similar but different approaches.

Personally I can also recommend trying to develop your OS for a simpler chip. That puts constraints on the project, which both limits the scope and also gives you challenges because of those limits. But that might be my personal bias, as I once developed a full fledged OS for the Intel 8051 as part of my university studies. This was back in the olden days tho, these days I would probably use something like an ESP8266 or ESP32.

Keep up the good work, keep being curious and keep learning!

Reminds me of the first time I saw Sin and Cos lookup tables being used in early 3D gaming. The computers could calculate those just fine, especially with a math co-processor. But for 3D gaming it would be too slow to get a good framerate. So lookup tables were used to greatly improve the speed.

Back on those days all sort of neat tricks like that would be used. Often done as little demo programs that were very impressive. Before the internet it was hard to look up something like that and the latest and greatest tricks weren’t written in books yet. So often little code snippets and demo programs would be shared amongst programmers using the sneakernet, so we could all learn and get better.

Having worked with many people with PhD degrees, I’ve noticed the ones that actually use their title are often the least knowledgeable and least likeable of the bunch. Most folk just assume everyone is qualified, with or without using the title, until proven otherwise by opening their mouths. There was this one dude who had 3 PhDs and literally wrote the book on some stuff, he was the most chill dude ever and said: “Just call me Robert, that’s my name”. Whilst this other dude insisted on being called Dr. Jenkins was an absolute idiot of a man. He would be often wrong and always challenged everyone and every thing. Of course the higher ups liked him, because of how he presented himself. But everyone else hated him. And I later found out his PhD wasn’t even directly related to the field he works in.

Yeah agreed. Even if it wasn’t anything useful, it would be interesting and something to inspire future builds.

Agreed on BotW, although I didn’t like it to start with. It being open world felt actually like a step down, as I liked the exploration in the earlier games where you’d be locked out somewhere and had to find an item to get further. It made me wonder what there was to find and I was excited whenever I got the item so I could go find out. With the world in BotW just being open and mostly empty on top of that, it just felt boring. And I didn’t like the shrines, I felt they were too easy, too short and too gimmicky. The only fun I had with them was trying to do thing in an unintended way.

I think Elden Ring is excellent for being open world. People often criticize the open world aspect because the crafting system is kinda dumb, the caves are samey and don’t offer much in terms of benefits or exciting stuff. It’s also hard to find quests and easy to miss them (on top of the bullshit story telling of Souls). And experienced people often just basically do a boss rush where they run from boss to boss. But I actually think it’s excellent and brilliant game design.

I absolutely loved the feeling of having an entire world to explore. The world did actually feel alive for me, with people and stuff everywhere. Different biomes and decent enemy variety (even though there are plenty of repeats). Looking for quests, exploring caves and doing it all felt like fun. Even though I didn’t engage with the crafting much (I did do a bow and consumables challenge run once, but I stuck to just a few kinds of pots and arrows throughout). I felt for me personally it added to the experience.

But in terms of game design it’s a huge step forward. With the older games if you got hard stuck on a boss, that was it. You could go grind the previous level if you were really desperate, but that was about it. Especially for new people, this often meant they didn’t finish the game. A lot of them didn’t even make it past the tutorial boss. With a community telling them to Git Gud, people would assume the games weren’t for them and quit. Which is a shame, because the games are good and worth playing imho. With the open world aspect, there’s no rush to beat a boss. You can go explore, level up, find better weapons and better armor. And with the way the world is laid out, you can go pretty far without ever beating a single boss. Then come back later and beat the boss, maybe a bit over leveled, but that’s fine. If you want the challenge, it’s there, but if you are just a casual gamer looking for a fun time, it’s there as well.

It’s not all upsides tho, as people can also easily get lost and feel like they don’t know where to go. Or miss entire areas because they were following the main quest. So not all rainbow and sunshine, but overall a positive aspect.

The open world also makes for an excellent randomizer, I’ve been absolutely addicted to Elden Ring Rando. So much fun!

I don’t know man, I’m just about ready to start storming datacenters and not cheaping out on the molotov cocktails. Lemmy has radicalized me, I use Arch btw and love knee high socks. Cars can go fuck all the way off, my preferred solution is again molotov cocktails. I swear to the gods the next lifted truck with 7 liter engine and no tailpipe I see is going to have a bad day.

Where can I sign up for our army? Even though I’m old and fat, I have a right to identify as twink. I’ll be blazing my machine gun (FN P90 obv) directly into a group of ICE agents in my lgbt themed knee highs and Free Palistine shirt shouting TRANS RIGHTS!

I’m so sick and tired of this shit world we live in, especially because a very very small group of people fucks it up for the rest of us. Why does the working class, the biggest of the classes, not simply eat the rich?

Yeah the dead giveaway is “honey mustard”. Everyone knows it’s hunny mussy.

Step 1: Sell data to AI companies Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit

They are now finding out step 2 is getting absolutely destroyed by AI not sending people along to their platform. And the profit in step 3 is for the AI companies, not for them.

These CEOs are so shortsighted it’s beyond belief. Sure Google paid hundreds of millions for the data, but in turn it’s a death sentence for the platform. But hey it was money in the short term right?
