  • Like. I can’t even rub Wayland on my 4090. Its a black screen. This happens with manjaro kde. With mint I can at least see my (frozen, unresponsive, unusable) desktop.

    This all sounds cool and stuff but I kind of wish people would, like, shut the fuck up about Wayland? My understanding is that NY experience.is far from unique. People that own PCs have nvidia cards. Unless “the year of the Linux desktop” involves everyone vaporating anmd cards that magically have cuda cores somehow out of their asses then nothing about Wayland really matters to us.

    You can “get an and” card to me all you want, but here’s the thing: I don’t fucking want one. I use my cuda cores. Its why I spent as much as I did on a 4090.

    I guess 555 is supposed to make Wayland work with nvidia?

    I mean, look. Using an nvidia card with Linux, and getting the requisite drivers working, can be am experience akin to having your has deferens ripped out by an aging badger. I get it. But until I can nvidia while I Wayland I just don’t care. And I’m not alone.








  • I be been fiddling with home assistants voice thing a bit and like wvwry4hing home assistant the process has been frustrating and bordering on Kafkaesque. I bought these atom echo things they recommend which don’t seem to make the best google home replacements, and in struggling to figure out how to get home assistant to pipe the sound out of another device, thereby making them useful.

    Admittedly this may be simpler if all I was looking to do is say things and have stuff happen in a default voice model, but I fine tuned my own RTS voice model(s) and am looking to be able to use them for controlling homeass as well as for general inference when i feel like it.

    I’ve spent some tim3, not a lot but some, trying to find out what devices can be m2dia players and under what conditions and how (or whether) you can use esp home to pipe audio through the media player / use USB mics as microphones for the voice stuff.

    I’m kind of at a loss as far as understanding what the actual intention was for homeless’ year of the voice, so I’ve be3n thinking that maybe offloading some of my goals to a container or VM on TNT server running homeless on proxmox may be a better path forward. I came across this post just in time it seems.


  • You’re misunderstanding my use of the phrase.

    I’m using it in the context or immersing in something you have no understanding of. I just dove right into and skipped most of the intro type stuff.

    You’re using the phrase to talk about relative complexity / difficulty not how I’ve usually heard it used but it makes sense.

    Like. Most people learning python start with hello world. I spent too many hours learning to own hot encode a 500gb dataset of reddit porn and tweak stylegan 3 a bit to train it on porn. None of which is remarkable objectively but there were a lot of very basic things I needed to learn to finish the task. That’s what I mean by jumping in the deep end - throwing yourself into something you are probably poorly or il equipped for and just figuring it out as you go.

    There is a deep end of coding complexity of course, but, different kind of deep end.



  • Its why I love the steam controller.

    I have three or four. A couple are dead. And I dread my last ones dying too. The durability is not great.

    But being able to game on the couch is just… man, so amazing. I really very badly want a steam controller 2. It was, imo, the best thing to happen to PC gaming in years.

    Give. The stea. Deckss popularity, and how they used everything they learned from the steam controller to make the controls on the deck what they apparently are, I’m holding out hopes that perhaps well one day get a vw steam controller.

    Please?
