a court case also draws out media coverage, possibly more than an extended search would

I don’t really understand how USB stuff works (what is the difference between a hub, interface, and controller?) but from what I’ve seen I think a hub supporting 20gbps would probably be in the 5-15$ range and probably not larger than a few centimeters

If you have multiple ports driven off the same internal hub, they will share bandwidth.

I’m usually happy with increased efficiency as it represents an increase in performance in the future. Cost is something that seems much more inevitable to go down than performance is to go up, so the two metrics I look for in the state of the CPU market are peak single core performance and performance per watt. Of course, this only applies to observing the industry from outside, I’m sure if I was actually in the market for a new CPU right now I’d probably be happier with a worse performance per watt chip as long as it was cheaper.

I find ChatGPT useful in getting my server to work (since I’m pretty new with Linux)

Other than that, I check in on how local image models are doing around once every couple of months. I would say you can achieve some cool stuff with it, but not really any unusual stuff.

Oh, I had some of those last year on some lemmy thread somewhere.

Archinstall is super easy. Just copy a few commands from the wiki to join a wifi network and then it will take everything from there.

PeaZip is another FOSS option, and has a lot of algorithms like arc and zstd

I actually had a problem where on Chrome, I would be signed out of my google account every time I restart my computer, while on Firefox, everything works normally. I use Firefox now lol.

this article has not been edited, is from 2022, and says the feature was rolled out in June.

Check how large your photos library is on your computer. Now wouldn’t it be nice if it was 40% smaller?

jpeg xl lossless is around 50% smaller than pngs on average, which is a huge difference

JPEG XL in lossless mode actually gives around 50% smaller file sizes than PNG

its royalty free and has an open source implementation, what more could you want?

Ok, i guess its just kinda similar to dynamic overclocking/underclocking with a dedicated npu. I don’t really see why a tiny 2$ microcontroller or just the cpu can’t accomplish the same task though.

Ram is slower than GPU VRAM, but that extreme slowdown is due to the bottleneck of the pcie bus that the data has to go through to get to the GPU.

there are some local genai music models, although I don’t know how good they are yet as I haven’t tried any myself (stable audio is one, but I’m sure there are others)

also minor linguistic nitpick but LLM stands for ‘language model’ (you could maybe get away with it for pixart and sd3 as they use t5 for prompt encoding, which is an llm, i’m sure some audio models with lyrics use them too), the term you’re looking for is probably ‘generative’
