I’m four years old and I think it’s funny. Also, “skeet” as slang for “blue sky”? I love it, you’re a visionary, how do we make this happen?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Opening the door: Making self-hosting friendly for newcomers
5·2 months agoThis is a cool project, I have quite a few questions! Are you planning an “app store” repo of supported software? Allowing us to add our own repos? Can i set up a reverse proxy/VPN tunneling using my own hardware, or is remote access only available through a Safebox subscription? If I can set it up is that manual, guided, or automatic? Why Docker instead of Podman?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know how pointless it is to get all boiled up over things that shouldn't matter to you?

I can’t give any of these my personal +1 as I haven’t used them, but I’ve seen their names around for years. Good luck!
In any fight, circumstances are king. You need far, far more variables defined in order to be able to answer this question, and even then it won’t be a certain outcome. Who has the element of surprise? What’s the age, weight, and sex of the tiger (and the wolves)? How recently have the tiger/wolves eaten? Does anyone slip on a banana peel during the encounter?
Maybe we’re going about this wrong. Are you trying to make sure the tiger is dead or are you trying to use as few wolves as possible?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Using Claude Code to modernize a 25-year-old kernel driver – Dmitry Brant
3·5 months agoIt can do that for school level stuff because that material is present in it’s input dataset in a redundant manner. For anything niche or domain-specific, it will hallucinate or fail.
I typically don’t have an issue getting a grasp on fundamentals, so most of the things I want to ask it about might be beyond school-level. My main way of learning is to ask questions to make sure I understand the material - which means more potential hallucination points, and maybe worse impact because I’ll think I get it, but I’ve just been confidently lied to that I understood.
For example, I’ve wondered for a while if patches of space with less gravitational curvature “age” faster than patches that are more heavily distorted by gravity wells, and what the implications of that might be. Makes sense, we know that gravity slows down subjective time. But I can’t get a productive answer out of an LLM because I can’t trust it, and it’s not worth bothering my physicist friends about.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Using Claude Code to modernize a 25-year-old kernel driver – Dmitry Brant
2·5 months agoAh-ha, now there’s an interesting use case. I’ve had occasion in the past to work on PCB design - to be clear I didn’t do the design myself, I have no idea wtf I’m doing there, but I’m capable of reading spec sheets and soldering - and when I had to sub in components, I managed to find what I needed by filtering down for specs on DigiKey using their search. I think an LLM could have saved me a bit of time there if I could’ve just fed it the BOM and asked for alternatives, and over the course of all the subs I had to do for the particular project I’m thinking of (it was during Chinese New Year so it was tough getting answers from suppliers) that would have added up.

10·5 months ago“I only ask questions to LLMs if I already know the answer”
Not a developer here. I’ve been thinking about this because I hoped LLMs would be able to help me learn things at first, like a patient tutor I can ask all my stupid questions and it’ll never get annoyed with me. Since it can’t do that though, because it lies all the time, I don’t think I have a use case for it at all… About all it can do for me is rewrite or summarise English, and it doesn’t even do a particularly good job of that most of the time so I end up saving time by doing that work myself anyway. I suppose it’s pretty good at translating, but I haven’t tried it for that as I don’t have a lot of call to speak foreign languages.
Well, okay, I understand what you mean and why, but you stated “water is a mineral according to the dictionary” in your post, so I was just clarifying that bit. So yeah, Merriam-Webster is wrong.
Edit: Again, sorry. This is the internet and pedants like me thrive here 😅
Sorry, no, water is not a mineral because it doesn’t have a characteristic crystalline structure, and if a dictionary says otherwise it’s wrong: https://geology.com/articles/water-mineral/
However ice can be, if it forms naturally - the definition of mineral is:
A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness.
And yes, this means that if you grow a crystal like a diamond for example in a lab, technically it’s not a mineral (it’s just sparkling rock).

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•AMD blames motherboard makers for Ryzen 9800X3D CPU failuresEnglish
4·5 months agoI don’t think necessarily, no. I’ve had mine for nearly a year and despite a few unexpected shutdowns (might have been a power supply issue though, I don’t think it was thermal) it works perfectly. I haven’t overclocked at all really though, I did the automatic one and got something like a 0.2GHz boost. Left it at that, I don’t feel any pressing need to push this chip; it’s plenty fast for what I need at stock.
I looked up the TP00061B and selected 3rd gen, I found this: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x1_carbon3_hmm_en_sp40g55065_01.pdf
Looks like there’s a coin cell battery in there, so you can remove it to reset the CMOS. I’m not sure how relevant this video is to your exact model, but I’m sure you can figure it out using this as a base if you’re comfortable working on computers generally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=secIrlXFy5k
Edit: Oh, I see you got it! Nice 🙌 Happy computing!
What’s the exact model please? It may be possible to reset the CMOS if we can cut power to the main board completely; there’s usually a coin-cell battery to keep a minor charge supplied to the volatile memory holding the current config, but the exact model number of the laptop will let us find the spec sheet so we know for sure.
It’s the strongest argument yet for adding Trump, anyway.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Handheld PC makers are slowly losing touch with Valve's successful Steam Deck template of affordability, and that's very concerningEnglish
51·6 months agoWhere do you get that I’m “idolizing them” from my post? Whatever Valve pays to get this development done, it’s not pushing up the price of a device that runs Linux/Proton vs one that runs Windows, because Linux/Proton/etc don’t attract a licensing fee, while Windows does. That’s just objective fact. Meanwhile you’re over here speculating your tits off about stuff that might happen, so you can yell at me. The fuck did I say to warrant this aggressive bullshit from you?

141·6 months agoTechnically the OS isn’t free
And practically, that doesn’t matter. Valve isn’t charging anyone a licensing fee for the software they’ve developed, so as far as the cost of the device goes SteamOS is free. Just because they could charge for it doesn’t change that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the worst you ever hurt yourself as a kid?
2·7 months agoI was skating at the local ice rink, and tripped. I think it was an Olympic-sized rink, but that might have been the pool… it was pretty big, anyway. I bounced my head off the ice so hard I saw blue and red fireworks (only time that’s ever happened to me), and slid half the length of the rink on my face wherein I crashed into the barrier. That shit hurt, I still remember it vividly 30 years later, but luckily nothing broken. My mum was simultaneously aghast, and relieved and amazed I wasn’t more injured. She was convinced I’d have fractured something in my face when she saw me fall.
