Would be interested to know your experience with fcli if you’d share more. Just hearing about it.

What is the model name for this guy?

It’s chili season for sure

Looks like this may have been a meal out in Mexico City (CDMX)

Of all places I was in a Goodwill and they had an ad for a program called LIFT IT come on over the airwaves in between some banger oldies. It was a bit competitive. I think they had over 200 applicants and only 17 made it but it’s worth checking out if you live in the states. I’m in Colorado. Not sure if it’s available elsewhere.

I have no formal training and work in real estate so I’ve taught myself GNU/Linux CLI commands, docker and basic networking stuff with the help of the Internet, YouTube and some LLM assistance. I now self-host around a dozen services via docker on an old Dell XPS laptop for myself. This did lead me to consider a career change and I applied for and got into a free study course for the CompTIA Network+ and Security+ certificates so we’ll see if that ends up just becoming extra help for my hobby or a means to get into IT more broadly.

Looks great! Wish I had the confidence and know how to take on serious plumbing work like this.

Anyone got a link to buy the shirt?

Looks great! Will have to try it.

There’s also Logseq. It’s got a little bit of a learning curve but can be a great outliner and notes app. https://github.com/logseq/logseq

Very low fee cross-border (remittance) transfers using stablecoins (cryptoassets that are pegged to a fiat currency like the dollar) allow people to avoid getting ripped off by companies like Western Union.

On crypto platforms like Ethereum that support smart contracts (basically computer programs that run on the blockchain and allow you to automate transfers etc), you can provide liquidity to money markets and asset exchange platforms and earn many times the interest yield (APY) of what you might get at a bank for a similar thing (like 12-60% vs 2-5%). If you’re a real finance nerd you can also access various exotic financial instruments on other platforms that otherwise wouldn’t be available to you unless you were at a huge investment bank or hedge fund and even some that aren’t possible there. These are often called DeFi platforms (Decentralized Finance)

Another huge use of crypto networks are money laundering and scams though so beware. It’s still a largely unregulated black market. Never put more money into a crypto network than you can afford to lose.

Hmmm… if an ‘organism’ has no organs, is it still an organism? 🤔

Sounds cool. Gave it a minute or two and can’t deal with the banter haha not my cup of tea.

Exactly. The system is what it does.

Absolutely. They do tend to be quite a bit more expensive per watt though. From my research you can get cheap panels and just plug them into a LiPo4 battery or even lead acid batteries as well. It’s just that batteries (even though they’ve gotten a lot cheaper) are still expensive enough to nearly double the cost of the system in many cases so the plug-in option with 400 watts of panels etc gives you the best bang for the buck for sure. But it’s not legal or possible in many US states (though that is changing fast)

Biking (e-bikes are great if you can afford one and greatly increase range and decrease effort in many environments)

Installing solar (I’m currently renting but my state is debating a new law which seems likely to pass modeled on the Utah law - and others which started in Europe - which allows small solar systems to be plugged directly into a home outlet to supplement energy needs with minimal cost)

Yeah if you get further along in the video (it’s long so I understand many people may not get 30 mins in or whatever) they talk about how someone on Reddit noted that the tone mapping was way out of whack and they edited some of the images to show what it would look like if it was corrected and it’s way more natural looking with less blown out highlights and uncanny more yassified stuff.

I agree that the tech is very impressive. To paraphrase another comment I made in a post about the tech reveal video (which apparently was also unpopular based on the number of downvotes) I think many people are completely misunderstanding how it works. It doesn’t change textures or 3d models (what are often called game ‘assets’) at all. The only thing it changes is lighting and for that it does use AI (machine learning) to create a much more realistic lighting presentation. You may find this hard to believe but lighting can dramatically alter appearance. The notion that it sexifies or slopifies everything by making faces sexier etc is just not true except to the extent that the lighting changes have this perceived effect on the characters for you.

That said, concerns about artistic intent vs these changes are definitely valid here for these demos since it’s a very different look to how the original devs intended and Nvidia have basically modded this into existing games which weren’t designed around it to show it off. This has the affect of some of it looking a bit off I agree. In the future, when devs can decide to create assets around it or not I think those concerns will become less relevant. That said, PC power users and modders will likely hack it into a game if they want to even if the devs don’t enable it as an option. Modding and hacks are just the nature of PC gaming though. I don’t see a bunch of people crying about artistic intent because someone modded Thomas the Tank Engine into a game etc.
