40MHz is plenty for doom.
Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:
Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC
486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:
Edit: grammar
Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.
Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.
Each SimpleX release gets me closer to using it. The upcoming v5.8 update is no exception:
This release focus is improving the app usability, and preparing the foundation for v5.8 that will provide an in-built protection of user IP addresses when connecting to unknown file and messaging servers, reducing the need to use Tor (which would still remain supported via SOCKS proxy, for additional privacy).
And another round of security audits:
We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025,
Looking good.
Edit: SimpleX v5.7.5 is 313 MB without Data/Cache on Android. Yikes.
| Client | Version | App size |
|---|---|---|
| SimpleX | v5.7.5 | 313 MB |
| Threema Libre | 5.3.1l | 138 MB |
| Jami | 20240521-01 | 102 MB |
| Briar | 1.5.11 | 101 MB |
| Session | 1.18.4 | 99 MB |
And it was a proper Warehouse successor, too.
My two favorite maps.
Trying to break that million point grind.
Damn, that was 25 years ago.
I am concerned about the energy abuse of LLMs, but it gets worse. AGI is right around the corner, and I fear that law of diminishing return may not apply due to advantages it will bring. We’re in need of new, sustainable energy like nuclear now because it will not stop.
Would you kindly find a source for that?
I can personally speak from the 80s, so that’s not exactly a golden age of reliable information. There was concern about scale of infinite growth and power requirements in a perpetual 24/7 full-load timeshare by people that were almost certainly not qualified to talk about the subject.
I was never concerned enough to look into it, but I sure remember the FUD: “They are going to grow to the size of countries!” - “They are going to drink our oceans dry!” … Like I said, unqualified people.
Another factor is that there aren’t that many supercomputers in the world, a handful of thousand of them.
They never took off like the concerned feared. We don’t even concern ourselves with their existence.
Edit: grammar
While I absolutely agree with everything you’ve stated, I’m not taking a moral position here. I’m just positing that the same arguments of concern have been on the table since the establishment of massive computational power regardless of how, or by whom, it was to be utilized.
Supercomputers were feared to be untenable resource consumers then, too.
Utilizing nuclear to feed AI may be the responsible and sustainable option, but there’s a lot of FUD surrounding all of these things.
One thing is certain: Humans (and now AI) will continue to advance technology, regardless of consequence.
The forefront of technology overutilizes resources?
Always has been.
Edit: Supercomputers have existed for 60 years.
I got the game bundled with a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 kit and played it before, during, and after 9/11, and was blown away by the coincidences that appeared eerily prescient during this time.
The game came out in 2000 btw.
And the last official patch was…
Mon Mar 19 12:06:14 2001 v1.112fm…176 days before 9/11. Crazy foresight.
“I fuck Arch, btw.”
I really don’t get a lot of the rationale behind Lemmy. Love the gist, but damn, even basic access and recall are a nightmare.
It’s a nice start. Maybe it’ll be fully fleshed out one day.
It’s attached to your rod, muthalicka.
There’s an example at the top along with the instructions.
This ain’t exactly the Mississippi.
subliminal messaging is a art
Are you sure you didn’t set low-detail with the viewport cranked way down? I played it on the same model
with a math co-processorand it could not handle high-detail and the large viewport in the video.Edit: I’m fairly certain I had a math co-processor, but I’ll defer to you on this detail just in case. That would certainly make a sizeable difference.
