Die Mart sounds really metal, I wonder what they sell there

TIL paracetamol isn’t a worldwide thing. Huh.

Making every community ever in your instance won’t attract any users, the only thing they’re going to see is dozens of empty communities.

oh my god, thank you so much! this fixed everything for me!

Isn’t there things like qemu and box64…

Yeah, but they’re experimental and probably very buggy. I’ve used box64 on my phone, it doesn’t play well with everything.

Can it do LLM inference as fast as a M2/M3 Macbook?

It should be better at AI stuff than M series laptops, allegedly. Many manufacturers actually started listing their prices for the new laptops, the new Microsoft ones start at 16GB of RAM at $1000. I know the Lenovo one can reach 64GB of RAM but not sure about the pricing.

Most applications are/can be compiled for arm. You just need the right repo or to compile from source.

Maybe the essentials like browsers and CMD tools are available for ARM, but I’m talking about applications in general. Almost all of Flatpak won’t work, not everyone will bother compiling for ARM and those that do probably won’t do so as soon as these laptops release. You’d have to be a real poweruser to compile stuff from source and not suffer. Not to mention proprietary stuff that are already reluctant to support Linux, imagine how long it’ll take for things like Zoom and Discord to get official support. Before anyone hits me with the “those don’t matter”, it does to a lot of people.

You don’t need a translation layer unless the software is proprietary and the vendor isn’t willing to compile for arm.

Even then, there will be tons of legacy apps people will want to run.

Yes, Linux actually does already run on ARM chips, and Qualcomm themselves pledged support for Linux for the new chips within the next 6 months.

There is one big issue though: most applications won’t be available since they have to work specifically for ARM. This is a big deal because I don’t think Linux has a proper x86 --> ARM translation layer. That means most of your apps and games won’t work.

I’d wait at least a couple of months to see how the ecosystem is before buying one. It’s likely going to be a very bumpy ride for the next ~2 years until everything you’d need is supported.

Inbetween all the garbage spam about AI I almost missed this was actually a post announcing laptops with the new Snapdragon chips. It’ll be interesting to see performance on windows ARM when they release next month

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… I remember when hold forward line rider maps were all the rage on early youtube.

Yes, but real men keep their images under 1kb

They really fucked up and it’s so heartwrenching watching it all happen. I was following the story since it started and I just can’t believe they allowed anyone to download copyrighted books without a limit in 2020, without asking anyone for permission or whether it’s legally viable. Everyone knew they were losing this, and they gave publishers a convincing reason to sue them. by crossing the “legally grey” area to literal piracy.

FWIW, OpenLibrary is a good source of book metadata at least, even if it fails its goal of letting people read books on it.

The world needs more clam meditation.

E-mailed the dev asking for one

https://tildes.net/ , it’s not super active but it’s my second option.

Damn, count me in

Yeah the rates of new stickers should be a bit less but it’s way better than what it used to be, at least you’re not losing on ante 2 constantly due to bad rng

Hackernews comments section have a 50/50 chance of being one of the smartest, well-researched essay you’ve seen or an unhinged rant from someone who has a grudge against a specific technology for the past 25 years

We’re going to need strong digital signatures on everything

That won’t help anything considering how easy it is to strip metadata.

That lip sync is scary good. It’s still a little off, the teeth are weirdly stretchy, but nobody would notice it’s a deepfake on first glance.

Seems very similar to Nvidia’s idea of only having a moving photo for video calls to reduce bandwidth needed. Very nice.

Imagine you’re grieving a dead relative and there’s someone two graves over dancing to hatsune miku trying to set a high score
