No discrete GPU? When my 4070 was slightly out of its depth on context for Mistral-NeMo 12B a while back it offloaded some to my cpu and system RAM and it was so slow. Recipe generation timed out after 10 mins while on VRAM it takes 30 seconds.
I read that you did, indeed. I think it’s commendable and a whole lot better for your personal wellbeing than just lying back and taking it. Thing is that the best case scenario is that they’ll say they never realised how their actions have affected others. It’s however far more likely that they think you’re being overly sensitive and that it can never be that bad. It’s sort of similar to having a spouse who snores. You can tell them they snore all you like, they’re not hearing it and they really won’t know what impact it has on you. Short of you recording them, or them moving into your place while you go stomp around upstairs.
Your neighbour possibly already thinks that she’s being as considerate as she can be, in the sense that not blasting music or watching movies, or walking around in heels, is limiting her in her freedom. She’s not going to stop doing stuff she wants because someone else is hindered by it. It’s the same type of person that blocks the aisle of the supermarket whilst having conversations with others. Those who run elbows first through a crowd to get a place up front. Those who talk through movies. They are oblivious to what effect their actions have on others.
I have neighbours like that. I’m usually very self conscious about being the one who’s noisy but they can get it, I don’t care. Their kids, barely teenagers, are still up when we go to bed, screaming at each other in their bathroom where we can hear them verbatim. Or being out in the evening on their trampoline in the front yard, we can pretty much join the conversation.
I’ve been in the situation where I heard people moving their furniture around almost daily. It’s usually not what you think it is. Most people have no idea how their noise affects others. It can just be someone falling in their seat on the couch that can make it sound like they’re moving the couch. This is why our couch is up against the wall, so it doesn’t move. We have those little felt things under chair legs to prevent scraping noise. We take our shoes off inside the house. And if we do watch movies, tv or listen to music, even when having a modest party, we keep the music at a reasonable volume so we can still have a conversation.
It’s common decency that loads of people don’t do because they are inconsiderate. Not because they’re inherently bad people, they just haven’t been taught to take others into account. And they get away with it because those who do, usually avoid confrontation.
I think my favourite bit is when in ‘I fuck sluts’ he’s doing some pretty dense verbal stuff with a book open, keeps turning the page and at some point goes ‘The pages are blank, why am I lying to you’, puts the book on his head but still expends the effort to turn the page later on.
It’s just an incredible way of misdirection that he does really well.
I loved his work from the moment he got on stage at the Comedy Central clubs when he was like 17 and the first thing he said was "Don’t worry, I’m hilarious’. Basically any show he’s done is worth a watch. And also don’t forget The Inside Outtakes, there are some nuggets in there that should’ve made it to the main thing.
Must’ve been at least 16
Ah I remember those prices. Must’ve been somewhere around 2008, before I could drive. Funny how prices never went back there but they do keep going up.
Northern Netherlands, somwhere around 2,20 for E10 Euro 95, 2,30 for diesel. Diesel is not usually more expensive than petrol.
It’s still very early days for all batteries that are not Li-Ion or Li-FP. Plus there’s a political aspect. Some countries, like China, have invested heavily in lithium and cobalt mining, increasing influence in Africa. CATL is a big innovator in batteries, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chinese government pumps the brakes on CATL developing solid state or sodium on the scale of lithium.
In the end, it’s inevitable because both lithium and cobalt are finite resources. Lithium especially is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. We are in need of new tech, but it could still take 10 years for it to be fully developed and adopted. What we need now is devices that just cannot be powered by lithium, so that they will require something more dense like sodium sulfur. The lack of need for graphene, cobalt and lithium is a huge pro.
Zero personal scandals? Are we sure about that? Wasn’t he an alcoholic with a coke habit?
Got it running at playable frame rate, just by lowering the definition of ‘playable’!
I have three cats that would beg to differ as well. Also I’ve seen dogs fighting
I gave away my G2 to my nephew a while ago. I commandeered it back because of the Oasis driver but it’s at my mom’s house now and I’ll likely get it somewhere in January.
I played the ultimate edition a while ago and I was very impressed. One of the best games I’ve played in a while.
I’m not using it but since it’s free you might as well give it a go. I’ve heard excellent things about Bitwig in Linux and even took it for a spin. It was nice, but no better than on Windows.
Myself, I used to use Reason on Windows, these days I’m DAWless mostly.

Have you considered LMMS? I think it’s exactly what you’re looking for. Extensive manual, free, open source, made for Linux, focuses on doing the basics well
I was on Boost when it was for reddit, paid for it even. Then the lemmy version dropped and at some point it became unusable for me. Been on Voyager ever since, haven’t looked back. I might like it even better.
