Not programming skills, but sysadmin skills.

Buy a used server on EBay (companies often sell their old servers for cheap when they upgrade). Buy a bunch of HDDs. Install Linux and set up the HDDs in a ZFS pool.

Random access times are probably similar to smaller drives but writing the whole drive is going to be slow

Can’t you run LLMs on 4090/5090 maybe 5080? Basically any Nvidia card with 24GB+ of VRAM?

Ciri’s medallion in the trailer was a Lynx medallion. It’s probable we will see a new character that’s a Lynx witcher, maybe either a student or teacher to Ciri.

Also rocks can be valuable too

From my experience, if the first layer doesn’t come out well, the print will fail.

The video also highlights the disadvantages compared to traditional fans:

• slightly less energy efficient
• weaker
• concerns about ozone
• concerns about attracting dust

I don’t see the need particularly but my guess at the “big company” mentioned is Apple. They seem like the type to jump at the opportunity to use a new technology to make quieter and thinner laptops. They already make some laptops without any cooling fans despite how inadvisable that sounds.

The Necrobinder looks really interesting! You can summon a minion! Maybe more!

The issue is it’s not a copyright on the ball, it’s a patent on aiming to summon a creature.

Didn’t work for me :/

Verizon is annoying but at least they aren’t Comcast. Also if they offer Fios you can get service that’s 10-100x faster, especially if you have a need for upload speeds.

Why do we humans even think we need to solve these extravagantly over-complicated formulas in the first place? Shit, we’re in a world today where kids are forgetting how to spell and do basic math on their own, no thanks to modern technology.

lol.

All of modern technology boils down to math. Curing diseases, building our buildings, roads, cars, even how we do farming these days is all heavily driven by science and math.

Sure, some of modern technology has made people lazy or had other negative impacts, but it’s not a serious argument to say continuing math and science research in general is worthless.

Specifically relating to quantum computing, the first real problems to be solved by quantum computers are likely to be chemistry simulations which can have impact in discovering new medicines or new industrial processes.

Well riddle me this, if a computer of any sort has to constantly keep correcting itself, whether in processing or memory, well doesn’t that seem unreliable to you?

Error correction is the study of the mathematical techniques that let you make something reliable out of something unreliable. Much of classical computing heavily relies on error correction. You even pointed out error correction applied in your classical computer.

That sort of RAM ain’t exactly cheap either, but it’s way cheaper than a super expensive quantum computer with still unreliable memory.

The reason so much money is being invested in the development of quantum computers is mathematical work that suggests a sufficiently big enough quantum computer will be able to solve useful problems in an hour that would take the worlds biggest classical computer thousands of years to solve.

The output of a quantum computer is read by a classical computer and can then be transferred or stored as long as you liked use traditional means.

The lifetime of the error corrected qubit mentioned here is a limitation of how complex of a quantum calculation the quantum computer can fix. And an hour is a really, really long time by that standard.

Breaking RSA or other exciting things still requires a bunch of these error corrected qubits connected together. But this is still a pretty significant step.

How many calculations can your computer do in an hour? The answer is a lot.

This is the first time I saw the full video and I have to say - that cardboard “GameBoy” is a lot more clever than I expected!

When I was like 7, I put a bunch of legos in one of these and they melted. I was able to put them into the top because the lamp was next to the stairs.

The toxins are concentrated around the eyes so if you cut them out thoroughly enough and it’s just barely sprouted it’s probably fine.

If you don’t cut them out or it’s very thoroughly sprouted you will be more likely to get sick.

It also depends on how sensitive your stomach is.

You can probably get it to work in Wine with some effort, and definitely should be able to get it to work in a virtual machine.

I’ve gotten some old games working in a Windows XP vm in VirtualBox, using disk images I made from the old disks.

The GOG release might be easier to get working (GOG themselves are updating it to work on modern OSes, and it’s DRM free so you don’t have to worry about the keys or anything).
