"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • I'm guessing "Grip 6" is a particular brand, but I have used buckles with grip action (on normal leather (or were they some fake leather? dunno but not nylon) belts without holes) quite a bit and I liked them.

    Making your own holes in a holed belt might cause a greater structural weakness than it can handle, depending upon how tight you like it.

    I recently got a knitted-ish belt (this is probably nylon or similar stuff) and you can insert the anchor at ~5mm intervals (thickness of the rope used to knit it) and that seems like a good idea too.

  • If you are using C, you could consider SDL 3 as a base library.

    Not a recommendation though. Just saying you can do so.It has all the basic stuff: V-Sync, audio, input device handling etc.

    Almost forgot to add... It also allows you to easily add stuff with Vulkan, OpenGL etc.

  • When you’re talking about the PCIe peripheral, you’re talking about a separate dedicated graphics card or something else?

    Yes, similar to what a PCIe Graphics Card does.A PCIe slot is the slot in a desktop motherboard that lets you fit various things like networking (ethernet, Wi-Fi and even RTC specialised stuff) cards, sound cards, graphics cards, SATA/SAS adapters, USB adapters and all other kinds of stuff.

    I guess the main point of NPUs are that they are tiny and built in

    GPUs are also available built-in. Some of them are even tiny.Go 11-12 years back in time and you'll see video processing units embedded into the Motherboard, instead of in the CPU package.Eventually some people will want more powerful NPUs with better suited RAM for neural workloads (GPUs have their own type of RAM too), not care about the NPU in the CPU package and will feel like they are uselessly paying for it. Others will not require an NPU and will feel like they are uselessly paying for it.

    So, much better to have NPUs be made separately in different tiers, similar to what is done with GPUs rn.

    And even external (PCIe) Graphics Cards can be thin and light instead of being a fat package. It's usually just the (i) extra I/O ports and (ii) the cooling fins+fans that make them fat.

  • I guess an NPU is better of being a PCIe peripheral then?And it can then have their specialised RAM too.

    Yeah, that should help them with their capital, storage costs and Hg procurement costs.Now back to the energy generation...

  • I'd rather use, "cooked alive", instead of "executed".Would be more accurate and help understand what the act entails.

  • I have been pretty positive about assignments as an assessment process since it enables seeing actual work instead of memorisation skills, but out of the few times I have had one of these...

    • 1 of them wanted me to agree to not sharing my work anywhere, so that they would be the only ones keeping my output. I realised they just wanted free work and declined.
    • 1 of them required me to run an "AI benchmarking" thingy, which ran connected to the network. Essentially, they wanted free CPU cycles to run whatever model they were running. I dropped it after reading 0.1% of the code in the repo.

  • Bose is open-sourcing its old smart speakers instead of bricking them

  • Honestly, I think this should be the legal minimum requirement for anyone phasing out cloud dependent hardware or even in case of bankruptcy.

    It's good that we have this example, which can then be used to prove capabilities in legislative hearings.

  • I see, so they did lose enough customers due to bad PR.And then gave some docs and paid some news outlets to blow it up for FOSS-washing.

  • Considering that they are using 'u', 'plz' etc, I would have other things to question.

    What are they even providing?

  • I was expecting it to be about GUI programs just waiting for an input.Because when it hangs, it's most probably either doing something long, or something that got elongated due to external factors, which ended up being programmed into the GUI thread. So definitely not idling.
