OpenAI’s browser is built atop Chromium, Google’s own open-source browser code, two of the sources said.

I do this with awesomewm. You define window startup behavior in the main config. Applications can have static behavior to start in certain places or will default to “wherever my cursor currently is”. I suspect i3 has similar functionality

I’ve been following this project for a while; I hope it catches on.

Also, the first five digits were the same between the two numbers. Meta is guilty, but they’re guilty of grifting, not of giving a rogue AI access to some shadow database of personal details… yet? Lol

99% of the waiting time in my case is either waiting for file copies or waiting on SAP programs to run.

I wish I had low hanging fruit like that to go after.

I copy the install media locally. Although there is probably a noticable performance hot to running my main VM disk over the network.

Building a fully functional SAP system just takes that long in raw install time when your process also includes a sufficiently large system copy, and your hardware isn’t bleeding-edge.

It’s a massive application stack

I wrote and maintain a zero-to-working SAP HANA/S4 installer in pure bash.

It takes a redhat compatible from base install to a working, production-ready SAP system in about 5 hours.

It’s like ~9,000 lines of bash

The ASICs will come as soon as the architecture stabilizes. The problem with building specialized hardware today is it won’t necessarily be capable of running models that come out tomorrow.

happy to help!

An example of this:

Bitcoin mining started on cpus, then moved to gpus, and now exists on dedicated asics.

A $200 GPU vs a $200 ASIC, the ASIC is going to be a faster sha256 calculator

A $2000 GPU vs a $200 ASIC, the GPU is going to be a faster sha256 calculator

A $200 GPU from today vs a $200 ASIC from 10 years ago vs a $200 CPU from today?.. You get the idea.

There’s no way to know without specific details which will be faster. You could be running software encryption on a raspberry pi from 5 years ago or the drive could be running an encryption ASIC from 10 years ago, etc

The short answer is that: all other things being equal, it will always be faster and cheaper to do things dedicated in hardware. Comparing one implementation to another, however, is always going to be an “it depends”

I wonder how many other AI projects are Actually Indians.

I am also curious

I don’t have a sim or VR, I purely use keyboard/mouse/controller/fight sticks across my various setups

To expand, my main workstation is a $180 eBay used Dell that I slapped a 3050 in. Tower in its entirety cost <$400 and realistically, I only needed the GPU because I have a 4k/240hz main display, and 4 total.

There’s no need to go headless on the Linux workstations, I don’t, although I do build the system myself from headless to keep the bloat down. X11 and awesomewm/i3 is like, 100-300mb of ram with modern necessities included

I use the Linux workstations with awesomewm for 99.9% of my computing needs, moonlight only comes out to connect to the gaming PC

I sort of run this setup right now @4k/240hz. The only part of this I don’t do is flight sticks.

I run Ubuntu on my interface workstation on a 9700T/32gb/30506g and sunshine/moonlight to my rack mounted gaming desktop downstairs running win11 on a 9900X/32gb/5070. I also have an Ubuntu machine upstairs and in the living room that leverage the same streaming setup to put games there. Works great on my phone too with a Bluetooth clamp controller

Windows on the gaming PC is the way. Yeah there’s a lot of bullshit there but it literally only streams games. Use the ctt winutil to strip out most of the annoyance and you forget windows even exists

I looked at the examples and I guess I don’t get where this might be useful.

It’s almost certainly related to cloud-init, (the canonical tool for handling deployment automation) or Ubuntu pro (extra long support for backporting security packages to older distros, plus some conveniences). They’re pre installed as a convenience to paid users of those services, that’s the (IMHO, quite reasonable) model they use to fund the distro. I would expect that some or all of that traffic would disappear if you disable/remove those two services.
