taxpayer money is free, no there’s no loss to begin with

silicon is really inefficient: too much power wasted in form of heat (Joule effect), on the other hand, quantum computing functions in absolute zero conditions, so no inefficiencies. in a perfect world, one would outsource all its calculations to a quantum instance, but the thing is too costly and centralized; if everyone could afford low latency internet our phones wouldn’t require cpus and gpus, instead we could run them on a quantum computer, but since its too centralized, the issue of privacy would prevail. Would be nice if we had quantum instances scattered around, like lemmy instances, but donations won’t probably cut it to cover costs, so we r stuck with sand computers for now

the video explores different processing units used in computers. GPUs are essential for tasks like rendering graphics and training deep learning models. TPUs, on the other hand, are designed specifically for tensor operations required in deep learning and can save significant time and cost when training models. DPUs, or data processing units, are optimized for moving and processing large amounts of data in Big Data Centers, relieving the CPU from such tasks. Finally, there is the potential for the development of QPUs, or quantum processing units, which operate using qubits instead of classical bits and have the potential to revolutionize computing with their ability to handle complex algorithms exponentially faster. However, the threat they pose to encryption and security is also a concern.

why are u downvoted ? some people just like to bend over i guess

i didnt use irc before but i hav a matrix account. nonetheless i ll look up how to reach u through this. and thank you for being easy on me for my linux takes: if linux is to be mass adopted, new comers need to be handled this way, and not to be shamed for their lack of knowledge.

You don’t. The tools to do this without the gui are likely included in your distribution as a base

i could barely do it in gui, let alone in cui. i need colors to know what i am doing (consider me ur average joe!, and i kinda am)

That’s up to your distribution, but typically the answer is ‘users can install it through the package manager if and when they need it’.

please do, i really like to be recommended a distro which comes with many common tools installed. package manager (if u mean by that snap and the like ?) is buggy as hell, i would rather use terminal than deal with that

Windows, for example, still had everyone using an Administrator account for day-to-day stuff until Vista / 7.

i miss those days, now can’t do nothing with my win 7 :(

If you’re comfortable with the terminal, get used to basic commands like cat, grep, find, etc - the command line tools are often more available (and more powerful) than their hypothetical GUI counterpart!

yea i guess i ll have to: already bookmarked a common sysadmin commands guide, and probably would have to learn more in the process. again as u mentionned, as much as it is tiresome, i start to think the reason why things are the way they are in linux. also i like the harmony between my android and linux apps when syncing: it feels like being in a macos/ios environement on a budget, but with also the advantage of being able to upgrade hardware, and very wide array of apps to choose from, and the open source community willing to offer help.complaining apart, i will dedicate time and effort to learn linux and make the best of it.

also, seeing that ur an admin of an instance, i really wanted to self host…myself too, since i was on linux, but i am kinda following docker guides blindly and didnt get much far with my endeavour so i had to bail for now

Just be careful what partitions you remove/format, but I guess that’s obvious.

i am learning the hard way :/

its a 3in1 30$ wifi inkjet canon: as long as kept from dust and humidity especially, the thing is a beast: printed almost 20k pages with one before it broke. cartridge infinitely refillable and a 1L ink bottle lasts to infinity and cost 10$.

Disagree

tbh i wish it weren’t my opinion too. but since the occasion presented itself, op is struggling with setting up a software for his needs on linux: i wish there were viable options for his case.

It really isn’t.

maybe i am simple minded, but why do i have to install gparted just so i could partition my disk (in windows disk partition is a given), or have to install fuse so i could run .appimage files; why don’t these functions come preinstalled ? maybe i am now starting to understand why is linux invunerable to viruses: u kinda have to sudo ur way through everything so u could u achieve ur need. maybe i am venting, but as a newcomer from windows, its kinda overwhelming haha: wanna copy to a readonly directroy: sudo cp; edit a readonly file: sudo gedit…even the terminal isnt in favourites, i have to ctrl alt T so i could find it 😭😭 again, i am no dev, and i kinda have a day to spend and work to get to xd

yea man, there is way more printer features on windows than on linux, since manufacturers decided so. i am not tech savy and i fear i might have to troubleshoot my way through a vm just to print a pdf. guess i ll have to run a separate machine just for my windows needs, but great idea nonetheless.

i wanted to print in duplex mode: the printer linux driver didnt support it (i thought it was a pdf reader thing, apparently its a driver thing). also wanted to have a logical partition as expansion, ended up corrupting the boot file. using linux is backbreaking (in the sense of not that straight forward), but kinda useful to run in a machine on the side. linux really have some cool apps, but proprietery software doen’t seem to get along with it well. best way to approach this is to run both OS’s, according to ur needs.

autism apart, i myself act this way: i am not impressed by people’s company anymore since during 30 years of my existence no one proved that they could stay true to their word. and i began to be tired from looking up people since many are unwilling to invest in a human link without me making concessions (and i am planning on not to, people wanna feel superior ? they could get a pet instead, me on the other hand believe in equality as we all are children of men who are born with free will, so i cant allow myself to be told around-made use of, by a person, including friends), so nothing to be received in return,so instead i just enjoy my own company and pour myself drinks until this broken record called life reaches an end. maybe the type of people where i live are this way and it shouldnt apply everywhere

any reliable instance will do (lemm.ee, divbyzero, discuss.tchncs.de,…) filter undesired instances using connect or sync. done.

the enginners at waymo the moment they make this discovery:

lol

same feel.

they now they run out of interesting content when they recommend you already watched stuff. Youtube™ is overblown

tell me anything that isn’t

off topic: is deepl down or something ? thing doesn’t respond :/

edit: now works
