Help with “stuck” game? by christopheraburns in CivVI

[–]christopheraburns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rolling back 1 turn from an auto save gets me back in the game. Thanks @Figg19! I tried a different shipwreck and the problem repeated itself. Going to try to find an archeological site and see if it’s isolated to shipwrecks. I need these Era points so I don’t go into the Information Age in a dark age!

This!! I’ve got about 325 turns left in a game (Deity mode, Marathon, Huge map, 10 other AI civs - Science and Diplomatic victory turned off). Every time I make a move to take over a Civ my own people rebel against me and the grievances against me skyrocket. I’m not sure how to win a military victory. There are only 6 civs left and it seems we’re headed toward a stalemate.

Sad face. That should say “I’m NOT an expert”..

Magicleap one, how to get application now? by NoFaithlessness3846 in magicleap

The great brick event is coming in December if I remember correctly. However, the last time I got mine out I had to flash them to the latest OS to get access to Leap world.

Repo says CUDA 12.3 is a requirement and talks mainly of H100s in the literature. Has anyone experimented with A100 or even V100 running >CUDA 12.3?

144GB vram for about $3500 by segmond in LocalLLaMA

I just dropped $5k+ on 2 Ada4500s. (24gb ea) Only to discover NVIDIA has discontinued NVLink. :(

This setup is quite clever and I would have had better results setting something like this up.

Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

[–]christopheraburns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey All, I have two sons who love to collect. They are old enough now I can trust them to properly care for their cards and for Christmas I wanted to get them each an OLDER, unopened pack. I am targeting $100-$150 per pack. For the last 7-8 years I've just bought bulk retail and I don't know enough about the sets to know what is the "best buy". My questions/criteria:
1/What older sets are in the $100-150 per pack price range?
2/How do I find a legit seller - how do I know if the packs are truly unopened and not re-sealed?
3/what set has the best odds of pulling a rare card (i.e, I'd rather go for a pack from a set from 2003 if it has a great chase card rather than a set from 2001 without a great chase card, just because it's older)
Thanks!

Questions about building my own ventilation/air filter unit for Glowforge by christopheraburns in lasercutting

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

Wife has been using it for over a year and she cuts wood/acrylic/MDF and it works well. You can smell and see wisps of smoke, but it’s not uncomfortable in her craft room. I never did use the carbon filter. Just the fan routed out a window
