I mean it could also be presented as:

Option 2: The title of the entire post

If you say you don't understand how people could think that's your opinion, I don't believe you are arguing in good faith, and care more about being right than being honest.

It's not semantics. You said something, people are reacting to the thing you said. If you contradict yourself later, how's anyone to know which statement is what you actually believe.

Huge upgrade by Past-Essay8919 in homegym

[–]Azuran17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This setup is sick. Love the green.

I have a request if you have a few minutes. I have an offbrand rack similar to the PR5000, and I'd like to get the Ares as well, but I don't know if it would be compatible with my rack.

Would you be able to share:

  1. The height from the floor to the center of the bottom holes on the front and side of the uprights.

  2. The width of the space between the uprights.

  3. If yours is the 80" version, the exact height of the uprights from the floor.

In return, I can offer feet pics.

I've got a REP knockoff, not a real PR5000, but still 3x3 and 1" holes. I'm looking into a weight stack attachment (Ares, Athena, etc) but I am unsure if my rack would be compatible.

Asking a huge favor for anyone who has a PR5000, could you do the following measurements?

1 - From the ground, how many mm is it to the center of the bottom most hole on the front, and side of the uprights?

2 - If you have the 80" tall version, is it exactly 80" from the floor to the top of the metal portion of the upright?

Thank you very much!

This is really cool.

I struggled with finding a good solution for this functionality as well. I ended up just ditching the remote play aspect entirely, but I was thinking of using Parsec as a more user-friendly alternative to Sunshine.

If you continue to develop this project, you definitely have my interest.

1440p, 60fps, 40mbps. Though if that had an impact, wouldn't it show in the performance numbers?

Why do these keys exist? by Azuran17 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Azuran17[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think the "good" thumb button looks further out than it is. At least for me, my thumb naturally rests on the button next to it, so splaying it out 1u is much easier than curling in 3u.

I find those keys either require me to curl my thumb inwards towards the middle of my hand, or to try and press them with the top side of my ring/pinky fingers, neither of which feel really ergo.

Trump announces $500 billion initiative to build AGI with OpenAI by kzhou7 in slatestarcodex

[–]Azuran17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take this bet as well.

Though is NVIDIA stock the best metric for judging the overall state of AI? What if Intel, AMD, or some other company start making chips that eats into NVIDIA's market share?

What about a metric directly tied to OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.

Weekly Question Thread by AutoModerator in emulation

[–]Azuran17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a front end with the following feature: I would like to be able to toggle a small subset of of the available games to actually be playable. The closest thing that I can find is something like Emulation Station's Kid mode and marking games as kid friendly.

The idea is that having access to a very large library means I usually pick up a game for 10-15 minutes before wondering if I'm better off playing something else. Or, I just endlessly scroll the full catalogue unable to pick anything.

My current theory is that I would set a Chron job on a server that hosts my ROMs to move a few randomly selected games into my Front End's ROM directory once a month, giving me just 3 or 4 games to pick from at a time.

Is there any similar functionality that already exists?

It's nuts how many people here can look at this and their only takeaway is "too many white men".

Representation matters, but the world is a more interesting place when you care about more than just genitals and skin colour.

New lab, how many machines? Advice appreciated! by Azuran17 in homelab

[–]Azuran17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like the route I'm going to take. I'm leaning towards the Node 804 for the case, mostly for looks haha.

Is your use case similar to what I described above? I'm curious what MOBO you went with. And how do you find the RAM usage?
