3090 24gb ($800 USD)

3060 12gb x 2 if you have 2 pcie slots (<$400 USD)

Radeon mi50 32gb with Vulkan (<$300 ) if you have more time, space, and will to tinker

I have a MI50/7900xtx gaming/ai setup at homr which in i use for learning and to test out different models. Happy to answer questions

Sorry but that’s not how computing best practices and computer security work. We’re far beyond “security through obscurity”. Security now works on encryption schemes which are highly publicized and vetted by multiple parties. That goes in combination with protecting through policy like access controls, endpoint protection and monitoring, and security training.

14 GB of vRAM?

I hear you. But what are non-technical users supposed to do? Compile their own apps? Flash firmware and SSH in to install the right radios and drivers?

People treat their phones like appliances. They go to app stores to get apps which developers ensure work for specific SDKs on phones carefully tuned to work well with the carier’s networks.

There are definitely users who will do everything from scratch. But like Linux for PCs, success of alternative OSs on phones will be dependent on there existing a good out of the box experience with the ability to integrate with hardware and third party software and/or quality open alternatives.

I agree. And Linux is great. We all know Android is a bastardized version of Linux… But…

Android isn’t just the technology and operating system. It’s am entire ecosystem of manufacturers, developers, applications, drivers, etc. The ecosystem will be difficult to replace even if the OS isn’t

Damn. I’m turning in my programmer badge and service weapon

I have had similar work contracts.

1. do not use ANY company resources. This could put you at risk of theft.
2. do not do it on company time or make it look like it’s on company time. See point 2.
3. you are liable for being fired if you break your work contract in most of the US.
4. whether or not you actually own the IP you created is unfortunately subject to state laws (in the US)

I want you to be successful. Don’t hurt your future career prospects

Does this mean VSTs will have better Linux compatibility or is that implementation-dependent?

The definition has become more nebulous over time.

The awe and grandeur of Occarina Of Time… at the time.

Disco Elysium is the best literature I’ve ever played.

I still feel like used to live in Skyrim. It was a place where I wanted to be and explore.

TF2/Halo CE multilayer mix of copetitive adrenaline and funny shenanigans

Those are the game experiences which stuck with me.

Accept that quality matters more than velocity. Ship slower, ship working. The cost of fixing production disasters dwarfs the cost of proper development.

This has been a struggle my entire career. Sometimes, the company listens. Sometimes they don’t. It’s a worthwhile fight but it is a systemic problem caused by management and short-term profit-seeking over healthy business growth

One time in the early 2000s, I saw a commercial during Adult Swim on Cartoons Network and I’ve wanted to see it again ever since. It was for Virgin Mobile and it featured Ode to Joy or 1812 Overture plating over quick cuts of mundane objects which turn out to be innuendo… for body parts. I know it wasn’t delusion because I was at a friends house and also though it was epic.

The Chaos by Gerard Nolst Trenité (1922)

https://ncf.idallen.com/english.html

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you’ll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.

Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.
…

Very long. Highly recommended

Cetus-Lupeedus!

I haven’t seen this mentioned but apart from 8K being expensive, requiring new production pipelines, unweildley for storage and bandwidth, unneeded, and not fixing g existing problems with 4K, it requires MASSIVE screens to reap benefits.

There are several similar posts, but suffice to say, 8K content is only perceived by average eyesight at living room distances when screens are OVER 100 inches in diameter at the bare minimum. That’s 7 feet wide.
