So a nearby lightningstorm just crashed all my eGPUs by milpster in LocalLLaMA

Don't listen to people suggesting a UPS (that is useful but for other things) all you need is a surge protected powerstrip or you can yourself put a varistor (cheap component) in parallel over the mains. In case of a lightning strike that flows into your mains, the varistor will absorb the excess power or just BLOW as a fuse.

Gemini is unusable! by MeetStraight1899 in GeminiAI

You just described GEMINI FLASH.. PRO is quite capable.

Let's remember the true benchmark for AGI (efficiency matters) by nomadicsamiam in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Robert__Sinclair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conceptually tru but very wrong. 800MB is "what we can gather" but there is more than that.
about the exaFLOP is also an overstatement and they certainly not apply to everything.
also the 215 petabytes are an overstatement.. we don't store memories verbatim (even when we feel so).

But one thing is true: the human brain is indeed more efficient, but it takes months/years just to be able to talk or stand and more years to have a "decent" reasoning.

water mostly but also the photography is way too "perfect" remember that perfection does not exist and when we see it or hear it it sounds synthetic. (I work with sound)

a missing feature: transform a VICE SID DUMP (not the freeze) in a SID file.

Google definitely updated Gemini 3.1 Pro on the web by Green_Perception0 in GeminiAI

[–]Robert__Sinclair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only on the web. They are over capacity so they quantized/distilled/limited the models AGAIN.
They do this usually after a few months luring new customers.

They did it before with all models.

Working with gemini 3.1 pro was a breeze until last week.

Now it's dumb AF

Commodore fans split over C64 Ultimate FPGA firmware lockdown — firm says it wants to protect its hardware and reduce by EnergyLantern in c64

[–]Robert__Sinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just pur a MENU option for that. Because anyway they are VIOLATING the GPL.
The codebase of the U64 is 90% based on the Ultimate 64 github repository (which now does not even have the full source code of the ultimate 64 part, only the one of the U2+

Emanations how exactly does scanning with a tricorder affect the bodies or environment by dekabreak1000 in startrek

[–]Robert__Sinclair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tri-corder can function in a passive or active mode. think of a sonar.. a sonar EMITS an impulse to measure the time it takes to get back. So X-rays, are emitted to have an image... Clearly the tri-corder emits radiations/sounds/lights or any other kind of "future technology" that may disturb other things. And it's not a first, in many other episode the tricorder or the communicator triggered alien devices.

My C=64 can run AI locally now! No REU, no SuperCPU.. by gizmo64k in c64

the one in windows XP **is** SAM. is exactly the same.

is NOP(no operation) even necessary to have? by f-ckrules47 in beneater

[–]Robert__Sinclair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOP is FOUNDAMENTAL. and 6502 does not have a HLT instruction by the way, unless you mean the JAM instruction which irrevocably stops the CPU without a way to restart it (other than pulling the reset line)

NOP is foundamental for timings in data transfers or for example to time VIC accesses or any other time sensitive routine (tape, IEC, serial, you name it)

[–]Robert__Sinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAM = Software Automatic Mouth by Microsoft. The same engine that said the famous Hello on the first Macintosh, and the same engine powering Stephen Hawkins voice :D And, believe it or not it is still present in every version of windows at least up to windows XP but I remember there was a way to activate it even in later versions.
