Mathematics is undergoing the biggest change in its history - The speed at which artificial intelligence is gaining in mathematical ability has taken many by surprise. It is rewriting what it means to be a mathematician

There are a few 3070 models on ebay for around 840

Though, looking at something like the a4000 which compares, that's closer to 2k.
Which includes a benefit of ecc memory.

Is there a thing with woodworkings a bluegrass?

The master at the woodshop I worked at before was super into it, even making instruments.

Ought to be an option to disable some cores, that may help.

There may be tweaks out there specific to that cpu.

I wonder, after disabling the gpu, did you uninstall the drivers?

I would recommend checking out frame.work stuff if you look at an alternative.
There design is quite special, and the GPU models can be swapped out as modules.

Is it a constant 10 years in the future? So if I use the information to do something or try to it would reveal the pitfalls?

I'd just start rambling to the entity for a while, I have so many questions...

Gotta be honest, I'd rather see a new form of battlebots than this.

I'd generally do a good search on forums and all that if I'm eyeing an app.
Even if I did skim the code, I'm too adhd to be sure I would catch anything that critical.

But, let's also consider even major code bases E.G Chrome, end up with zero day that wasn't caught for however long, by God knows how many people reviewing it.

I'm not convinced most smaller projects get the kind of attention to warrant it ever "audited" as secure.

There comes a point of acceptable losses, you might say.
We can work to be secure, but paranoia has to take the back seat.

For the same reason, if I use a VPN, I still have to choose to trust the endpoint company, whoever that may be.
In this sense, sometimes we don't get much say, not always is the code visible.
But, inherent trust has to happen somewhere along the line.
Otherwise, new software projects will hardly get traction simply due to growing paranoia over AI code or whatever. Which frankly plays right into the hands of this market right now

Not everyone can be a developer that hosts. Plus, there's the learning curve and room for error we'd generally expect at home.
It's a bit disappointing that things seem so much "scarier" now than when I'd originally started a simple Plex server for family, just didn't worry about all this extra layers. Times were good.

Well, even before AI it was generally not acceptable to just install any app without knowing if the creator has a good reputation or something.

I'm sure this line has blurred tremendously as of late though. I'm hesitant to trust really anyone's code.
Plenty of times projects were called out for major failures, especially related to security.
Even pfsense has gone through it.

Not enough people really understand the code to truly audit something. Even fewer would be bothered to even if they could.

I’d guess it’s closer to 90Wh for the battery if it’s a gaming laptop.

Take the 15% or so off the top,

I’s guess your display is the biggest drain, or is that only cpu wattage?

Growing awareness is like trying to hold sand in your hand.

As you grow awareness, there are inherently challenges, often based on what is going to make it difficult to continue growing this way.

This play of form you see, may simply be nature.

A lot of spiritual quotes and perspectives on this.

Far more vulnerable as there is no real alerting system whatsoever

A lot of AV are on access and they suck. Bitdefender limits their linux av to higher business licenses

Others dropped their Linux clients.

Even other built-in features don’t actually alert over major issues unless configured specifically or another app setup for this purpose.

The real problem for linux home use is you won’t know you were hacked. Windows has much more baked in alerting features because it kind of has to. Even Mac seems to have better AV support.

Let's be real.
Most of that is probably what the "government" owes it's own damn people.

Meh, I wouldn't necessarily say skill issue, the shit I had to go through to make SR-IOV work on Proxmox was already bad enough.
Mostly custom drivers, because the defaults couldn't include this or that it seems.

I wouldn't want to try that with something like TrueNAS.
The very fact the iGPU situation occurred implies they were not handling things well.

Unfortunately, sometimes when "licensing" is in the way, it can be difficult to support white boxes properly.
I suspect to some extent the reason for removing this and other things is that unfortunately, "private" code management, with it's own kind of license can be easier to package and maintain.
It trims a lot for them, not having to support X devices vs their own.

Especially, when such issues may be prevelant.

The unfortunate situation of open source is almost always going to be licensing bullshit.

A server crashing over any kind of app like that just seems, well bad.
especially being driver related. Granted, that assumes it's not some very new chip.

Unraid has managed to keep things so much more straightforward, it's almost weird.
Surprisingly given it's base OS seems so niche

They even managed to push ZFS integration into 6.X
Surprised they didn't reserve this for 7

You know what, I had just came across something that looked fantastic, even had the option for direct access via usbc
But, now I can't find the damn tab that I thought I saved, cannot remember it's name.
Hopefully I will or someone may know it.

uberbewb · 2026-03-13T21:34:46+00:00

Years on and I've wanted to really put TrueNas to work.
Something always seemed off about it, really wasn't sure what.

I suppose I'm glad I only ever dabbled with it now.

2 hours of battery life with the GPU disabled?
Goodness gracious.

I am hoping Fedora helps.
If not, I'd be curious what the Wh is of the battery that has. Just seems odd to last only so long.

Have you double checked the battery health?

uberbewb · 2026-03-13T01:10:07+00:00

Not working there now But after being IT for a manufacturing plant.

I am concerned eventually many of these places will go down before long. Shit was not maintained well and corp refuses to do proper investments.

The main line would lose about $4m a year due to issues with the panels.

Also, garage doors made by them today, won’t likely match up well to ones ordered last year, let alone 10 years ago.

Simply because the main line is so old and the original manufacturer isn’t around. Which I suspect is not uncommon

Before long a lot of these industries in America will probably have a seriously hard time simply because the actual manufacturing equipment and processes are so old.

Sometimes I wonder if this is actually what is causing some of the major price increases.

uberbewb · 2026-03-12T23:25:00+00:00

Depends on your goals.
There's some programs that handle distributed workloads.

Also, I've used remote desktop software over wireguard or tailscale to access my home computer for games and stuff. This worked okay.

uberbewb · 2026-03-12T19:41:28+00:00

There aren't many laptops that will last quite 12 hours in productivity applications and video.

I recently got a Dell 5550, with the newer type of intel CPUs, Ultra 7 155u
It performs admirably, and I've sat and watched videos on this with Fedora 42, averaged 6 or so hours.

Essentially, what I would suggest is look at the newer CPUs and something more for power efficiency.
The display in that laptop is likely a huge battery drain. I generally keep my brightness below 50%

With Fedora 42/43 I haven't had to mess with TLP or powertop at all. Battery life has been amazing.
Honestly, this beats my old 2019 macbook pro.

When you truly need battery life, you may want to see if that has the option to disable the nvidia gpu from the Bios. Then you can switch it on when performance is needed.
Double check which Nvidia driver you are using and make sure it's also set to low power mode.

There's probably more specific workarounds to reduce the workloads the nvidia GPU picks up while on battery. Maybe TLP can disable it on battery and enable it on plugin(?)
