  • Satisfactory doesn't care, but Factorio makes it the point of the game.

    Wipe out the native Flora and Fauna and cover the whole world in glorious concrete for a move speed buff.

  • How ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Brought Its Delightful Musical Episode to Life: ‘You’re Like, Wait, Spock Is Singing Now?!’

    Jump

  • This is one of the issues with having TOS characters in this show. I know they kind of have to be, but their story is already established and that seriously limits how they can be used. Unless we were going to have some more time travel or other weirdness repeating itself, the relationship was doomed to failure from the start.

  • Failed replication of claimed superconductor reported on arxiv

    Jump

  • Probably some kind of horrific bomb.

    It looks like the big technological leap in relation to 'How can we use superconductors to hurt things' is to use them in making advanced EMP devices. It doesn't seem like anyone has figured out any other obvious use cases for them that massively change or improve upon the other horrific devices that we've already come up with.

    In regards to potential for use in war crimes, it could be a lot worse.

  • In all that is wrong with recycling to begin with, do I even need to put cardboard and paper into recycling; or does it just break down easily in all the garbage?

    Jump

  • Wait, hold the fuck up, do we have the RemindMe bot here now?

  • I'm having a tough time choosing my next android smartphone, any ideas?

    Jump

  • Just an option, there are a lot of places out there that will sell you a 'refurbished' phone with 1-3 year warranty. eBay even has an integrated program for it, I think they call it 'certified refurbished'.

  • Gentlemen, BEHOLD... Corn.

  • Over just a few months, ChatGPT went from correctly answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2%, study finds

    Jump

  • It's still pretty rough to selfhost an LLM. You can get one that's kind of okay on an average computer, but to get a really competitive one running locally at a good speed, you need a huge amount of RAM that is still beyond most average users (VRAM for GPU based projects).

    I've been trying to get Vicuna going and the RAM usage is rough, 60gb is suggested, and I've got 64 and I think I need a lot more honestly.

  • Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?

    Jump

  • I think you may have responded to the wrong person.

    The Lenovo tiny line isn't related to Raspberry Pi/etc and I didn't mention a Raspberry Pi. I have a server running on an M900 tiny with an i7-6700 in it and 32gb of RAM. That is the high spec config from Lenovo, but there are room for upgrades if you were willing to buy parts separately, however the value proposition starts to fall apart rapidly when buying non-standard parts and compatibility is kind of a coin flip. Even the lowest spec ones should almost always outpace a Pi though (usually by a healthy amount) while still being very small compared to a typical computer. Solid chance the tiny will also be cheaper than a Pi. Compared to laptops, they'll usually also easily outpace those too in terms of performance in terms of money spent, but that's obviously a lot more variable.

  • Imagining Sisypuss happy rule

    Jump

  • Man, I thought I was the only one who had this stuck in my head after the last meme.

  • Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?

    Jump

  • Very similar, but usually dramatically cheaper... Look into the Lenovo Tiny line of PCs, you can get a used model with a surprising amount of power for a lot less than you'd see in a comparable NUC and in my experience, they're usually hardier machines.

  • Reddit is ending Reddit Gold and users are furious

    Jump

  • Wow... Did someone tell Reddit that April Fools was in July or something? It's this close to being a bad joke.

  • Removed

    Signal. Privacy.

    Jump

  • The argument from Signal seems to be that they don't want to expend resources supporting it or potentially federating with them. They do seem to have past experience doing this with CyanogenMod, and it sounds like it went poorly.

  • Is jellyfish vegan?

    Jump

  • This is one of those things that's hard to define. If a popcorn kernel gets too hot, it pops and it's almost like it's trying to run from the heat. How is that different from a jellyfish reaction to pain? There's a lot of good arguments on both sides.

    Sometimes, I wonder how far away we really are from the popcorn kernel.

  • Denuvo wants to convince you its DRM isn’t “evil”

    Jump

  • It is a difficult problem, but there have been a lot of cracked Denuvo games, even in this article, it mentions that about half of the released Denuvo games have been cracked out of a total of 127, that's not a small amount.

    It is true though that Denuvo is complex and there's currently only one person who has been doing them for a bit and that person is presenting as very very mentally ill and may also be on a break... it's amazing reading, but it's hard to tell conclusively what's up with Empress.

  • super rule

    Jump

  • I was in middle school with a guy who ate a tremendous amount of ketchup, I feel like it must have started as a shock value thing, but who knows why other people do things. A bottle a day for him at lunch was not unheard of.

    He was not a healthy kid, dude was pretty overweight and had heartburn problems, again this was in middle school. I remember him having to leave school for a bit because of serious stomach problems and then when he came back he was on a super restrictive diet. I think I only ever saw him eating green vegetables and basic salads after that.

    Liberal Bullshit Rule

    Jump

  • As a joke, the term 'Nazi Lifestyle' is hilarious.

  • Reddit threatens the mods of r/CyberpunkGame (the main subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077). Mods decide to go down in a blaze of glory, whole sub agrees.

    Jump

  • A lot of us had kind of been looking forward to it honestly.

    One common thread I've seen with nearly every mod post stating that they're probably going out is a general sense of relief.

  • /r/PICS moderators receive /u/ModCodeofConduct message accusing them of breaking site rules by switching to NSFW; mods can't reply, so post public response instead

    Jump

  • Note the statement to remove any and all offensive content. If they're still going the malicious compliance route, they're implying they're going to nuke the sub.

  • Reddit Notifications?

    Jump

  • I used to be on Facebook Dating, when I go awhile without logging in to facebook, it seems to remember that I was on it and starts telling me about potential matches with photos that seem to slowly get more attractive.
