It could be the loom or it could be laserdisc

i thought the religious cult was the government, or did they seize power later ?

i was talking more of the prosumer and close to prosumer units that could theoretically be retrofitted or housed in homelabs.

If datacentres went down en-masse i’d assume there’d be mix of hardware generations there.

Damn though, i didn’t know anything about the stuff you just mentioned, so my estimates of what could be available/usable are probably way off.

Now i have to go and do a deep dive, thanks.

Not strictly, there are usualy hurdles to overcome for home usage of datacentre tech, but it’s possible.

An easy example that comes to mind is that the datacentre GPU’s might have cooling configurations that rely on a large amount of airflow from the surrounding cabinet, which you’ll get in a datacentre, but not so much in a personal tower.

Also, noise, in a datacentre, noise is much less of an issue than in a personal computer, so they can eschew noise reduction in favour of performance.

Many people that live near data-centres would disagree, but i mean strictly from a usage point of view, not a broader community perspective.

Sounds like they want the governing bodies for certain open source technologies to be picked up by the UK.

They’d use the term govern rather than control id imagine, though thats a fine line and not a distinction the UK has been good at observing historically.

Thats a fucking terrible title, even though its technically accurate.

Read the article, it’s actually pretty interesting.

Get them some nix

it seems you’ve taken up the mantle for the side of:

That’s a complete disregard of a useful tool that brings measurable benefits.

Downvoters have absolutely fucking nothing to say, but sure are mad about something they can’t defend.

I didn’t downvote but I’ll bite anyway.

Let’s try it this way, describe what you think a “measurable benefit” would entail (yes i know you’re not the OP of that quote).

In detail enough that you could defend it as a position because unless it’s ironclad you will probably need to defend it.

Then name a measurable benefit that fits your previously described definition.

In case it’s important, i’m not necessarily anti LLM (check my history if you care enough)

i am however decidedly anti weak arguments.

As I’m sure you know, for the items that enforcement is improbably/impossible, their inclusion isn’t about enforcement.

I’ve been in a car that lightly shook the steering wheel and pedals when you approached the speed limit.

That was super disconcerting because I didn’t know it existed until my steering wheel started moving on it’s own.

I meant the banking industry over leveraging themselves into extinction and then walking it off because if subsidies and bailouts

** The banking industry, hiding in the corner looking sheepish **

Sure, didn’t say they would, capitalist companies gonna capitalise.

In the same way capitalist governments are gonna capitalise…by serving the interests of capitalist companies.

Hit me up when these magical regulations of yours get applied and enforced for a value more than the profits produced by ignoring them.

I mean it, I’m all for the regulations, I just don’t think it should be the only basket in which to place eggs, but you do you.

Meanwhile , i’ll also be not spending money on products that don’t serve my interests, it’s not the definition of “being fleeced” that I’d use but you seem confident enough that I’ll look it up and check.

And by all means, you can buy your PlayStation’s (not the disc ones obviously, that would be stupid, unless the regulations for that are also imminent?) , ready for the day when those regulations come in to force (in the near future, I assume).

Because NOT buying user-hostile products is for chumps who don’t believe their government has their best interests at heart… or something?

Even if it is an answer, is your suggestion to wait for a theoretical solution that hasn’t appeared so far and doesn’t seem to be on the horizon, to the exclusion of doing anything else?

Idealism isn’t strengthening your argument.

How about doing multiple things, you know, just in case, on the very small (^{minuscule, really}) off-chance you happen to be incorrect or even not fully correct ?^[1]

The mandate says nothing about cameras specifically.

I thought it did as well but it only specifies this :

Driver drowsiness and attention warning and advanced driver distraction warning systems shall be designed in such a way that those systems do not continuously record nor retain any data other than what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed within the closed-loop system. Furthermore, those data shall not be accessible or made available to third parties at any time and shall be immediately deleted after processing. Those systems shall also be designed to avoid overlap and shall not prompt the driver separately and concurrently or in a confusing manner where one action triggers both systems.

Don’t get me wrong, manufacturers are going to have a fucking field day with all of the shit they’ll try and get in under this banner of “safety” and they will almost certainly work their monetisation shenanigans in around this.

It might seem like that wording prohibits data collection, but it doesn’t cover all the bases a team of well paid lawyers would be able to come up with. Or they could just do what they normally do and just ignore the “no data collection” part and pay the cost of doing business tax fine and rake in multiples of that fine in profits.

My point is , it doesn’t specify cameras, so theoretically a company could come up with a non-face-scanning way of doing this and use that instead.

will they ?..fuck no…but they could if they wanted to.

Which is arguably worse.

edit : A note to say that I’m not arguing against the safety aspects of this , they might be fully valid, i’m arguing that it’ll be abused for profit in any way the companies think will give them a positive ROI.

I meant ‘forced’ as in ’ forced by their capitalist greed and culture ’ not like there’s an actual threat to anything but the quarterly bonuses of the current golden parachute holder.

Eventually, perhaps they’ll fuck up enough for it to be an existential threat to the company.

I’m the meantime they’ll just continue pretending copilot is a serious contender outside of their walled garden and probably lay off a few thousand people they don’t care about, to balance the numbers.

Microsoft is forced to provide another year of security updates because a series of historic and ongoing colossal fuckups have made it more commercially viable for them to do so than the alternative.

There is no “give” here, they are doing it for themselves, that the user potentially benefits is incidental.

yeah there’s a bunch f performance bumps you can get with a fixed end platform and a whole company invested in making games that run on their platform perform well.

You can also plug headphone directly in to the controller (although you’ve probably seen that).

nightmare for battery life if your headphones are above average impedance though.

(or maybe it’s just my headphones, i’m not an audio snob, who knows?)

You’re also not mentioning that even the base ps5, which was released 6 years ago, performs better than a Steam Machine.

is that based on the specs or some reviews somewhere ?

edit: nvm, looked it up

6700(ish) for ps5 OG

vs

7600 for steam machine

pretty close , though ps5 probably wins due to very specific optimizations for games compiled for that platform.

I’m seeing 7700xt for ps5 pro, not sure if that’s correct but it certainly beats a 7600.
