At the end of the day there is no war but the class war…

Not to mention battery life…

It’s new so reviews are just filtering out but it’s starting to look like SteamOS powered version of the Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme version) is a pretty great handheld that uses the latest AMD chipset with a sizable assist from Linux/proton efficiencies vs Windows to drive a 15-30% performance improvement which does make some more modern games more playable though it is significantly more expensive than the deck. I watched Retro Games Corps review of it yesterday. That said, if you’re okay waiting another couple years or so I bet there will be a Steam Deck 2 release but it seems like it mainly rests on AMD to deliver a significant (“generational”) leap with upcoming mobile APUs. Valve seems keen on not releasing a follow-up to the first deck until it is significantly better in every way and the chipsets available now just aren’t quite there yet it seems.

Awesome thanks for the tips. I may give seed one more go since we have it but may have to resort to starts. I am just more annoyed that we can’t get it to go from seed than anything else at this point. Similar issues with Rosemary and Sage…

Just watched it yesterday and it’s well done. I was definitely surprised about the assessment that nonstick/Teflon cookware is not the primary source of contamination most likely due to the size of the molecules apparently.

Interesting. I have always felt that the Steam deck loses quite a bit of battery percentage during sleep. I agree that it would be a fantastic quality of life update to enable to shut down or enter some form of lower power consumption hibernation state after a period of time at a certain battery level.

Can’t speak to those but I just got a GameSir G7 controller for like $28 and it’s great. I usually play with the Xbox One controller on my PC but the Dpad was shitting out as well. It does have a couple buttons on the back but you could just ignore them if you don’t like them. Otherwise I can’t tell the difference between OEM and this one. Also has those ‘hall effect’ joysticks to avoid stick drift.

Looks like it now has Docling Content Extraction Support for RAG. Has anyone used Docling much?

Oh and I typically get 16-20 tok/s running a 32b model on Ollama using Open WebUI. Also I have experienced issues with 4-bit quantization for the K/V cache on some models myself so just FYI

It really depends on how you quantize the model and the K/V cache as well. This is a useful calculator. https://smcleod.net/vram-estimator/ I can comfortably fit most 32b models quantized to 4-bit (usually KVM or IQ4XS) on my 3090’s 24 GB of VRAM with a reasonable context size. If you’re going to be needing a much larger context window to input large documents etc then you’d need to go smaller with the model size (14b, 27b etc) or get a multi GPU set up or something with unified memory and a lot of ram (like the Mac Minis others are mentioning).

This would be a great potential improvement in UX for streaming sports feeds for sure - not having to navigate web pages and start / manage streams manually etc. Does anyone know if this is possible for sites serving these streams like FirstRowSports or StreamEast etc?

It would be more interesting to see this with a cost of living figure for each state as well.

Hopefully these improvements will become available to other Nvidia GPU architectures like Ada and Ampere in the future as well.

Is it possible to use StreetComplete on iOS?

I think we can all agree that modifications to these models which remove censorship and propaganda on behalf of one particular country or party is valuable for the sake of accuracy and impartiality, but reading some of the example responses for the new model I honestly find myself wondering if they haven’t gone a bit further than that by replacing some of the old non-responses and positive portrayals of China and the CPC with a highly critical perspective typified by western governments which are hostile to China (in particular the US). Even the name of the model certainly doesn’t make it sound like neutrality and accuracy is their primary aim here.

I used to daily drive Ubuntu some years ago for work/personal use but have been back on Win 10 primarily for the last 4-5 years. I was considering trying to go back due to how much Windows sucks (despite some proprietary software only being available on it) but remembering the trouble I had with some networking/printer drivers and troubleshooting those issues and then seeing this article Is definitely making me reconsider…

Yeah I use voyager pretty much exclusively on my iPhone so maybe I should request a feature like that there? Seems like it would be something that many people would appreciate. Not sure why I end up seeing posts with -10, -15 votes… Those are generally trash haha

Is this what the Leonard Cohen song is about?
