AMD announced they were released earlier than planned. Even if they were always intended to be released open source eventually, it was still not a planned release.

Yes, but 20 billion parameters is too much for most GPUs, regardless of quantization. You would need at least 14GB, and even that’s unlikely without offloading major parts to the CPU and system RAM (which kills the token rate).

Curious if this is so broadly true without bundled resources; obviously screens are higher DPI, so even buttons are now designed for at least 8K resolutions, even if most consumers are still on 1080p.

Orders of magnitude beyond 640x480 or pre Windows 3.1 resolutions.

Explain your thought process here, how did you arrive at the larger bottle being 90% more detergent? It’s EXPLICITLY clear that the concentration is higher in the smaller bottle.

You could complain about the form factor or lack of precision in dosing loads using the higher concentration, but “detergent” is mostly water, which they clearly said they reduced by 75% (same solute, with less water/solvent = higher concentration).

Quick search and going by what it says on the label, the cost per load has not significantly changed, a little more than half a penny’s difference:

Ultra Concentrated (left) $15/60 loads = $0.25/load https://mrsmeyers.com/collections/laundry/products/ultra-concentrated-laundry-detergent-rain-water?variant=50673207640338

Standard (right) $18/74 loads = $0.2432/load https://mrsmeyers.com/collections/laundry/products/ultra-concentrated-laundry-detergent-rain-water?variant=50673207640338

You definitely should bump it up the list, especially if you can handle ray tracing, though the raster lighting is also good.

BE WARNED. These extensions are a prime target for purchase and/or hijacking by malicious threat actors, who then use them to gain persistence on your browsers and steal data. There is no reason to increase your browser attack surface for this feature when better alternatives have been posted in this thread.

There are dozens of these articles dating back the last five years or so.

Don’t bother with the cert if it’s not your job, but at least look into CCNA Routing and Switching. There are tons of courses available, both in person and online, as well as numerous YouTube videos on the subject.

See if your local library or community college has an adult education center that provides a course. At some point, you will need to learn subnetting, which is just math, but practice makes perfect, and your life is easier if you have it committed to memory.

Proper written work is still one of the most effective ways to do this.

While true, it’s pretty asinine to hold companies operating in China accountable for complying with Chinese law. It sucks, but they aren’t just going to abandon the Chinese ~cash cow~ market.

Or, the real sign of gentrification is that the Google Maps car drives by your neighborhood more than once every five years. Guarantee that’s not happening in the projects.

I was beyond disappointed to see this. I have limited time to fire up my PC at home, so was looking forward to being able to finally play this game, on mobile, during travel.

Sorry if I’m about 10 years behind Linux development, but how does Docker compare with the latest FlatPak trend in application distribution? How you have described it sounds somewhat similar, outside of also getting segmented access to data and networks.

For what country?

In the US, at least, the long term average is 3.10%, including the post-1913 Great Depression and the Oil Crisis/Great Inflation of the 1970s. From 1990-2020, the average has been 2.2%, just slightly worse than the stated goal of current US economic policy, which is to maintain long term inflation at a rate of 2%.

Meaning, 3% beats inflation significantly more than half of the time, especially since 1990.

Cost of living, yes, and if you’re a solid performer, 3% is considered good. However, this is a 5% across the board, and a large increase to entry level.

This. They clearly overextended due to the boom in streaming during the pandemic, and are now reacting to the contraction in content consumption both here, and on YouTube.

I mean, yea? Income less operating expenses is profit, so if you can lower operating costs, without compromising the service, your bar to profitability is by definition lower. This is why it is called “right sizing”.

Fta:

“I want to be clear that we still have more than enough resources,” said Clancy. "We are still a reasonably sized organisation. We’re still going to be able to service your needs. We’re still going to be able to improve the product.

Why are you running a VPN? If you are simply shielding your internet activity from your ISP, Google won’t give a shit where you sign in from.

If you are browsing to shield your identity, you want to be fully disassociated with any non-secure browsing habits. If this is your use case, even if you are using discrete internet accounts, tracking cookies are common enough that, you would still be identifiable from your browser fingerprint. It all depends on what your risk factors are, and how much you want to spend to mitigate them.

I wouldn’t immediately jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of legitimate business opportunities that do not imply “taking money to promote products”. In-line advertising and properly disclosed free samples are standard operating procedure for the tech industry, but they are completely above board, and by themselves do not imply bias.

Nearly every content creator’s YouTube channel About page or website will have a similar line, somewhere.

The biggest mistake users will make is thinking their data is safe JUST because they have a NAS or a RAID. It’s common parlance in Systems Administration that RAID is NOT backup.

To wit— not truly understanding RAID and how it relates to capacity, parity, and especially the time required to rebuild in failed disk situation. It is a crucial mistake to use RAID 5 with greater than 2TB disks, and even that is pushing it, but RAID 5 is at least in the zeitgeist.

There are also some outside concerns such as Drive batch dates and knowing to pre-purchase spare disks well in advance that may hamper recovery.

You are absolutely correct— major blog hosting, image hosting, and video hosting sites are all “free” for the content creator, but YouTube by far has the largest audience and highest monetization rates of any of them.

This is just creators buying in with their wallets; it makes sense to go where the money is, even if the format sucks for the idealized content consumer.
