Isn't the recent beaglebone (pocket eagle 2?) 512 mb of ram though? There's a ton of things for which 512 mb is tight and 4gb is more than fine

> Chrome starts in about a second,

on which machine ? go check the first three PCs here: https://www.amazon.ca/Best-Sellers-Laptop-Computers/zgbs/ele... ; do you think they open chrome in a second ?

> Most kitchens and bathrooms are unused most of the time, but that doesn't mean every home having one is bad.

isn't communal living the most efficient thing resource-wise though?

I think that's exactly the point OC was making, it's the most efficient resource-wise but that doesn't make it the objectively best form of living

> If you say 4x lower, that changes the semantics for lower than x vs higher than x, which is absurd.

where does it say in the rulebook that human languages have to have perfectly symmetric pairs of words?

I opened ai studio and i see it popping up, on a normal account: https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat?model=gemini-om...

it's going to be quite slower than remote providers, won't be able to run full models, only quantised, and for more cost than the highest Claude subscription tier where you can do roughly 60-100M token per month at 200$, e.g. 7200 for three years. It makes sense if you prioritize local AI but not really otherwise sadly.

how does it compare to https://herdr.dev/ ?

A lot of our users love the UI, which we’ve spent a lot of time working on!

In addition to terminals, Palomino lets you create tiles for browsers, simulators, and agent chats.

Also coming soon. We also are looking at cloud machines and remote machine management in the app.

just leave twitter for the love of god

leave to where? bluesky and mastodon are nearly dead for tech. threads is facebook.

For nothing.

I just don't understand what do you think you are getting from these places besides filling your head with nonsense?

Try not checking the news for a week too. What did you really miss? Right now is the best time. What does it matter if you miss the election results?

It is just a compulsive information consuming hobby with negative return. If you stopped wasting your brain power on this for a week you would probably be surprised how much more time you have to spend on things that are actually intellectually interesting.

What tech news that matters would you not hear about on here? Again, nothing.

I am not looking for any kind of news. Online spaces were for sharing, not just consuming. Sharing creativity, work, experiences, opinions - not 'creating content' for clout. It's a shame that the last two generations did not get to experience this. The ones who lived through that, are still trying to find (or rebuild) those spaces.

to a nice little café with a book :)

having spent thousands of hours in gw1 and hundreds in gw2, I don't think I ever had an actual crash, and only very minor gameplay bugs. congrats :D

i'm developing apps that do real-time audio and video and any allocation or anything that may end up in a system call directly or indirectly (for instance accessing swapped or mapped but not yet loaded memory) on the hot path is a complete no-go and will instantly cause very audible glitches for audio, and visual frame pacing issues

This DAW uses a mix of Java and C++ for good effect, so at least some people are rather happy with the approach

https://www.bitwig.com/

AFAIK all the core of bitwig (e.g. what has the hot path) is a separate native process with no java in it, communicating with shmem or sockets with the java gui

I have not said otherwise, "This DAW uses a mix of Java and C++ for good effect".

The point being that it does not need to be a black and white approach, one language to rule them all, as many tend to advocate for.
