  • The Allure of ‘Slop Bowls’ Fades as Consumers Tighten Spending

    Jump

  • Good. Rice/grain bowls are fucking burrito nihilism and the worst thing millennials have done.

    That large tortilla adds another 300 calories by itself, which is about 25% of the calories of a large burrito. I like to skip those extra tortilla calories. A bowl does that.

  • Hungary seizes millions of euros in cash and gold from Ukrainian convoy

    Jump

  • With as toxic as Orban (Hungarian Leadership) is to Ukraine, it surprises me that Urkaine would take the risk of transporting this valuable cargo through Hungary or Slovakia when bound for Astria. It might be a longer drive, but the path through Poland and Czechia may be preferred going forward.

  • When did lemmy.world start clamping down on VPNs?

    Jump

  • How would an instance block an IP without storing IPs?

    They could be blocking entire IP ranges. So they wouldn't have to store specific IPs. I'm not in the hosting industry but I would imagine there are groups tracking the CIDR blocks (IP ranges) that VPN providers use for their exit nodes. If such a list exists, a host could simply subscribe to accept whatever updates occur to those lists and implement the block for them.

  • ‘I just couldn’t do that drive any more’: Woman left job due to three-hour commute on N7

    Jump

  • I've got a coworker that works in the Bay Area but lives in the Midwest. Another I know works in New Jersey but lives in the Midwest. Corporate RTO initiatives in High COL areas with a salary differential coupled with lower Midwest COL and housing costs make strange things viable.

  • Workers who love ‘synergizing paradigms’ might be bad at their jobs

    Jump

  • The results of this study will undoubtedly produce a sea change in corporate culture while simultaneously creating opportunities for cross functional collaboration resulting from this paradigm shift. /s

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

    Jump

  • Oops, my mistake

    Apology accepted. Have a great day!

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

  • Read my prior post, I specifically SAID it was a model number.

    You're embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn't exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you're behind here.

  • Such a confident answer! And so incorrect too!

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

    Jump

  • Honestly, we know where the root of this problem came from. Back in the 1990s Intel broke with convention of using ever increasing numeric model numbers

    • 8086
    • 8088
    • 80186
    • 80286
    • 80386
    • 80486
    • Pentium ...wait, what?! Not 80586? Nope.

    Intel didn't like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created "Pentium" because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn't use it.

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

    Jump

  • That’s my bad for not remembering AMD’s fucking atrocious nonstandard mobile chip naming schemes.

    Atrocious compared to Intel? The first CPU with the name Core i7 was released in 2008, but Intel is still releasing a CPU named Core i7 as recently as 2023. They both suck, but in different ways.

  • Coal plant US Department of Energy ordered to stay online unlikely to run given ‘flush’ power supplies: CEO

    Jump

  • This is likely one case where capitalist polluters and leftist environmentalists are on the same side. Neither wants to see this plant in operation.

    Coal is an expensive way to generate electricity in the USA. Its a PITA to get the coal and deal with the tailings. Further with the death of coal power being obvious for decades, plant operators have put off maintenance again and again knowing that the plants closing is forthcoming. The forced demand from the government would require at least some of that expensive maintenance done to keep operating. Plant operators don't want to spend that money for something that is going to be closed as soon in the years ahead as trump isn't in the picture anymore.

  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem out, Trump says

    Jump

  • Doesn't this mean one fewer Republican Senators then? He was elected in 2023 so he still had safe years on his term in office.

    Also from Wikipedia:

    "He is the only currently serving senator without at least a bachelor's degree."

    Well, trump has said "I love the poorly educated", so this is an on-brand choice for trump.

  • Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

    Jump

  • I'm not sure we can use the "Windows x86 vs Windows ARM" analog for this new unit from Apple. MacOS Tahoe is a native ARM OS on both the high end and now this low end unit. With Windows its a completely different CPU architecture.

    Apple has to know this is going to cannibalize its low end (8GB/256GB SSD) Macbook Air line. So will Apple discontinue the low config Air or is there some other differentiator that still makes the low config Air compelling?

  • He's a literal terrorist

    Jump

  • that something Tain ordered him to do as a member of the Obsidian Order was his “step too far” that caused his break with Cardassian ideology.

    Thats a wonderful thing about Garak is that I don't think there exists "a step too far". Rather I like to assume that even if it was a heinous request he didn't follow it because it didn't serve his own political motives. What was so interesting about Garak is that he clearly had a formal set of solid guiding principles. However to outsiders like us it looked chaotic and disjointed.

  • He's a literal terrorist

    Jump

  • Wasn't Garrik effectively banished for being on the losing side of an internal power struggle within the Obsidian Order (the Cardassian spy division of the government)?

  • Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

    Jump

  • If its the full macOS, I don't think we can say that. That's what makes this so interesting as it is a first of its kind.

    Now, if it performs like a dog compared to an equivalent spec M3 or M4 Macbook Air, then we probably could call it a glorified tablet.

  • What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?

  • I am so broken by the US healthcare system/safety net system and facing it all alone

    Jump

  • I want to think that this is a moment in your life that you will look back on and see how much life has improved by then. You're going to beat this cancer, you're going to make slow but meaningful improvements in your life, eventually moving out to a place of your own, and rediscovering who you are after your battle with cancer is a victory on your part. Some time later you'll have someone special in your life by then, and you'll hold them close remembering days like today where it was hard to be without them.

    Please be around and living for that day.

  • Tried the same thing in Asahi but without macOS’ memory management and access to GPU acceleration, it just wasn’t feasible.

    Thank you for sharing this result. I knew Asahi's memory management wasn't as robust (so I got a 24GB RAM M2 unit to overcome this).

    For your macOS Ollama implementation are you able to leverage the NPU in the hardware (which I know is also unavailable so far in Asahi)?
