What time travel rules? See: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TemporalMutability

Going with “overwriting the timeline,”

• buy yourself an hour to live on the first day, should be easy enough

• make fat cash with options trading in minutes

• buy hella security

• repeat until the seven days have passed

I would also rig a “dead man’s switch” on my phone in case the assassin ever does get me, to reset things (by telling my past self of my current situation, so they can avoid it).

“Installing my driver” is a cultural relic from old Windows days where it wasn’t automatic; one needed a CD/Floppy or whatever to get your printer or ATI card working. It was good practice. Hence tons of “driver cleaner/updater” kind of shovelware exists to capitalize on that mindset.

…These days, Windows update (or the Arch/CachyOS package repos in my case) auto-update all my hardware with zero fuss. IDK why so many stray from that, unless they encounter a bug that was specifically fixed in an update.

Heh, you shouldn’t be paying for LLMs. Gemini 2.5 Pro is free, and so are a bunch of great API models. ChatGPT kinda sucks these days (depending on the content).

I have technical reasons for running local models (instant cached responses, constrained grammar, logprob output, finetuning), and I can help you set that up if you want, but TBH I am not going into a long technical proof of why that’s advantageous unless you really want to try this all yourself.

Yeah I mean it really depends on the app.

If it just occasionally peaks, maybe modest zram and low swappiness is all you need.

But sometimes i crack it up (and basically disable zram) because I’m paging like 4x my RAM pool size onto ssds with big files.

I figured. Works for me on desktop linux too.

AV1 support is just one more of those things Apple has been dense about.

Interesting. That’s what I was afraid of.

I guess I need to make a Lemmy.world support thread for that?

Probably because it’s AV1.

I just noticed it doesn’t work on my IPhone (16) not even through the link: https://files.catbox.moe/foodzx.webm

But the VP9 one does. That’s… Disappointing.

Yeah, Book 3 of The Legend of Korra. That whole season is solid gold.

A longer clip with sound: https://files.catbox.moe/8z5ggp.webm

Github issue then? M, okay.

That’s a great thing about Lemmy I suppose, there’s somewhere to go to discuss features that isn’t a black hole, lol.

Still, maybe Lemmy.world (and other instances?) should allow uploading of videos that are about the size of images. Maybe a limit of 768KB?

You mean you can’t see the embed in the above comment? What client?

Test:

EDIT: Seems to work! Didn’t realize I could embed videos like that, there’s no shortcut in the browser UI.

Yeah, I guess a link is fine, but can I embed them somehow?

EDIT: Embedding seems to work.

For reference, here’s an example

A quick VP9 webm video, 1920x1080, 2.8MB: https://files.catbox.moe/l5yvor.webm

A smaller webm, 1920x1080, 1.1 MB and still looks fine: https://files.catbox.moe/foodzx.webm

The GIF. 400x225, 12FPS, 5.6MB, optimized as best I can yet looks like a can of spam. But it’s what Lemmy would take:

I don’t mean to be rude though, PM me about stuff if you want! But I make no promises about a timely response lol.

Not particularly, just frequent posters I’m familiar with.

I plan to get more involved once I get some personal stuff straight.

Heh, I’m an EE dropout kinda in machine learning stuff now. Good luck, chemical engineering seems tough (but cool).

But yeah, on Lemmy the idea is to post in communities that fit your niches, rather than trying to follow people directly like Mastadon, Twitter or whatever. Those are a bit slim but growing (for instance, there are some active science-focused communities/servers).

“SONOS" is exactly the same if you rotate it 180 degrees.

Don’t even joke about this. FOSS development is fundamentally pretty “woke,” see: https://numpy.org/devdocs/dev/governance/governance.html#consensus-based-decision-making-by-the-community

And they linked: https://producingoss.com/en/producingoss.html#social-infrastructure

A problem is volunteers and critical mass.

Open source “hacks” need a big pool of people who want something to seed a few brilliant souls to develop it in their free time. It has to be at least proportional to the problem.

This kinda makes sense for robot vacuums: a lot of people have them, and the cloud service is annoying, simpler, and not life critical.

Teslas are a whole different deal. They are very expensive, and fewer people own them. Replicating even part of the cloud API calls is a completely different scope. The pool of Tesla owners willing to dedicate their time to that is just… smaller.

Also, I think buying a Tesla, for many, was a vote of implicit trust in the company and its software. It’s harder for someone cynical of its cloud dependence to end up with an entire luxury automobile.
