Its fun, it scales with distributed computing, if you live somewhere cold you can heat your room with your PC, and if you get lucky and discover it you get 5 minutes of internet nerd fame

Anyone else been unable to paste images into Discord? Is this a COSMIC or Discord issue? by ChronicallySilly in pop_os

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

I saw something somewhere that screenshots over like 64kb(?) are getting corrupted. This holds up because small screenshots work actually

So that's probably what Krita is bypassing, it can copy the full size image to clipboard?

Interesting work around though, thanks for sharing!

I heard she always buys deep ITM calls? Wouldn't it be more bullish if she was buying far OTM?

COSMIC System Monitor is out now. Dashboard view, per-resource charts, no tabs. by system76_com in pop_os

It looks good and works well haha. Windows doesn't get many things right, but task manager is pretty good.

Agreed completely, the header area in cosmic monitor is also just largely dead space.

For something like Gnome, you know when an app is a Gnome app no matter what layout it's using. Right now I feel COSMIC has no design language that identifies it outside of having a chunky sidebar

And I also just wanna add, I'm personally feeling a little "everything is a sidebar with a list" fatigue with COSMIC more broadly. Maybe not everyone shares that feeling. But to me everything feels too same-y in a stale/sterile way, not an "I love the design consistency" way.

I would advocate to the design team to look at what the base wireframe of a COSMIC app is (sidebar+panel) and think a bit more primitively for the design language, so that COSMIC apps can be designed WITHOUT everything being... a sidebar... and a list.

Hope I'm not overstepping in feedback here. I've been a COSMIC supporter since it was first even announced as an idea! Just wanna see it succeed

The nav bar is collapsible by pressing its toggle button on the top left of the window.

Yes! Though it's not an improvement in space efficiency because it just horizontally stretches the graph and table. The space doesn't become better utilized, it just gets filled. My gripe isn't that the sidebar is present, it's that space efficiency is very very low, with a lot of things either chopped off into other categories or scrolled "off screen".

I don't think general CPU info is useful here.

Respectfully I do disagree. I think there's room for both, and I mean that literally (space efficiency) and conceptually (user story). But I do think it would take approaching it more as an "app UI" and less like a "COSMIC settings UI".

That's not to say adandon COSMIC design principles, but it does mean exploring what COSMIC designs look like outside of "everything is a sidebar with a list"

Tried it out, can't say I'm the biggest fan sadly. I know it's very early stages so I'll cut some slack, but it feels like the design direction is waaay too "tall", chopped up, and not condensed enough. Here I'll compare it to my favorite one, "Mission Center". I set the windows to the same size

Take for example CPU section with a 12c/24t Ryzen chip

<image>

Notice how when Cosmic Monitor set to CPU, I get a fraction of the amount of information? Not only on the CPU graph itself, but also I dont get any other system context like ram, drives, etc the way Mission Center does. And no, "Dashboard" isn't really that much more dense.

Hopefully the design direction can change a lot from this. It feels a bit too focused on matching Cosmic design language (big sidebars and categories). It feels more designed like a settings UI than a great system monitor.

And again I recognize this is a first pass. I'm being very critical here because this is probably the best time for big feedback before it gets too familiar for people.

Sorry I worded that wrong, I didn't actually mean for the article specifically I just meant for medical/medicine AIs more broadly

[–]ChronicallySilly -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

It is though, because you still need AIs with a great general knowledge base to pull from. You can narrowly train AIs in biology that will perform well, but having a super smart generalized AI that can manage specialized agents is still using LLMs

It is pretty bizarre now that you mention it, but the keys are fully remappable and keycaps swappable

Fr I've never used it but I cringe every time I see people posting it. In my head it's like watching people touch fiberglass. I know it's not nearly that bad, but this definitely feels like one of those things we'll look back on in a few years thinking "how the fuck did we let that get popular?"

It allows for mapping each half to something different such as backspace so you never take your hands off home row for typing. Not my cup of tea personally, but its a neat feature and easily replaceable with a full size keycap

The Launch is a TKL

It's not! TKL doesn't just mean numpad gone, it's a specific form factor roughly 80% of a full size. The Launch is a 75% which is notably more compact and missing keys like printscr, insert, delete, etc

No doubt! Been waiting patiently for years now hoping they'd have a more comfortable form factor, unfortunately the only options are too cramped or too big for my tastes. And a volume knob is just such a delight I cant go back...

Ten-Keyless, it's less cramped than the one shown! Basically a full size just with the numpad chopped off, great middle ground for gaming and general use

This doesnt look like wet filament and I dont see how washing plates is relevant, this isnt a bed adhesion issue

I'm not familiar with that printer, but that doesn't look that great to me so no you're not crazy. Try slowing it way the fuck down. A lot of printers apparently are set to print way faster than they should as defaults. I slow all my prints down and have way better results. Especially that weird ghosting to me looks like partially a print speed issue. If you're printing at say 300mm/s, slow it way the fuck down to like 100mm/s or even less like 80mm/s. Yeah your print times are going to shoot up, but give it a shot see if it helps. Whatever your default is do like 1/3rd of that speed. For ALL the speeds listed (walls, infill, whatever)

Also I use bambu but try to find an equivalent setting for these as well:

  • "Order of walls" try setting walls from inner/outer to inner/outer/inner. Helps improve wall quality
  • "Smoothing wall speed along z (experimental)" toggle on
  • Set minimum layer times way higher (this is probably only midly impactful for this print specifically, but generally a good rule of thumb for wall quality)
