There have been some efforts to run pytorch and StableDiffusion on ROCm. Not sure if that could be combined with this.

They've been talking about removing the GIL since I was in primary school. My children are in primary school now. I'll believe it when I see it.

This is Indian English, same as "I have a doubt". It's not something you commonly hear outside India.

I find that very hard to believe. While it is less common nowadays, many, if not most, mailing list and forum software sent passwords in plaintext in emails.

A lot of cottage industry web apps also did the same.

Back when I was still in school, I ran a few tests on real world LISP and Java (the then dominant language, this was in the late days of Sun Microsystems succes).

Turns out most LISP programs had fewer parentheses then Java had braces, parens and brackets.

I think Verstappen is a bit of a tool a lot of the time, but there's no denying his insane talent.

Wether it is greater than the likes of Vettel or Lewis at their peak, who's to say, we don't have a time machine to race young Lewis and young Vettel etc in identical cars and see who wins.

But to say that Verstappen is only winning so much because Perrez is bad or the car is good is just them deceiving themselves to sleep better I think.

Perrez is still #2 in the standings, Verstappen has barely made a mistake all season, and Red Bull are killing it with their performance and reliability. They're just doing everything right it seems, apart from overspending on catering once in a while.

I used to have this problem but not since the Steam Deck is out.

Before, I was always frustrated fiddling with Lutris, winetricks, etc. But now it's only been plug and play for me, just let Steam take care of it. Zero compatibility issues. In fact, recently I've had more issues with native games than Proton.

For proprietary, non-free software I'd much prefer them to be sandboxed in Flatpak, thank you very much. So yeah, let Flatpak integrate payments!

For open source keystone applications, like my browser or my text editor, please let me have an unsandboxed native package.

Yeah. I switched away from Ubuntu for all this crap.

I moved to Fedora for my laptop & desktop, and Debian for my home server. I'm considering switching everything to Debian eventually, but there's a couple dedicated repos that make using Fedora on my laptop much easier for now.

These days there's also Lithium ion AA batteries, with different voltages. You can get them downvolted to anything from 1.5 to 1.8V.

The ones over 1.5V are commonly used in applications with electronic motors, since it allows you to effectively overdrive the toy or whatever it is you're powering.

Did you buy it through the iOS app? Because they are 30% more.

I wish it would just be "Renault Alpine F1".

I 100% understand why they did go with Alpine - they're trying to revive an old prestige name for their brand to sell more upmarket sports cars than they can under the Renault brand. They're trying to raise the public image of their Alpine brand through F1, not the other way around.

Even with the Alpine name on the cars, they're struggling to convince people it's not a Renault. The A110 is a wonderful car. But it's also 60,000+ euro for the base model and a "big boy toy". At that price point, I've heard many prospective buyers indicate that they'd rather own a Porsche Cayman.
