DLSS is off the table, but you CAN raytrace. That being said I do not see the value of RT myself. It has the greatest performance impact of any graphical setting and often looks only marginally better than baked in lighting.

I’ve recently been functional like this after taking acid two weeks ago for the first time. I’m nowhere near my neurotypical husband in terms of having my shit together, but it really seems to have made getting out of bed and functioning easier.

NGL i don’t know how to interpret that. I don’t know how long this will last, but it’s kinda nice not hating myself.

Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.

Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.

Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.

Their ipads and macbooks use usb-pd, and their chargers provide it. Not a guarantee, but a decent sign.

Find me a reasonably priced 70” monitor and i will hail you as the next coming of christ. That is the holy grail for me.

The only big reddit energy was this comment and the subsequent doubling down. The comment above was an even handed rebuttal, this response is tone policing and name calling.

You may disagree with his rebuttal but this is not how you respond to adversity.

In the US? Yep! We really need working public transit that isn’t seen as a poor person’s “punishment”.

Very odd… i multitask and run both paravirtualized (arm) and virtualized (x86) linux and windows without issues. You are more likely on the base model and out of RAM.

Intel macbooks deserve the hate, but the apple silicon ones are genuinely impressive to the point of being worth it until the competition catches up in terms of ARM performance, especially in terms of battery life.

My lemmy server is selfhosted (pawb.social), and the running costs are pretty negligible after initial costs.

We get plenty of donations honestly, but that is obviously not universal.

I wouldn’t personally use chatGPT ,or any language model for that matter, if factual information is the goal.

DDG has been my go-to recently, but mostly because I’m jaded with current year data harvesting and such. The internet feels like such a hassle these days .-.
