Looks like we now now run #stablediffusion on quite #minimal #hardware https://github.com/vitoplantamura/OnnxSt.. Very cool!
I know I #complain about this often, but #ubuntu becomes less and less #stable every time I use it. A #desktop not being #upgraded should just run indefinitely, yet the other day mine #crashed for no apparent reason. I doubt it is the #hardware because I see the same lack of #stability in other machines also running #ubuntu . #ubuntu is a blite on #linux .
The shear #skill and #knowledge that went into this #youtube #video is insane: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I0UMG3iVYZI Turns out that #nvidia fucked another piece of #hardware up again, this time the #playstation 3. They just keep doing this...
I #forgot about the #raspberrypi #raspberry #pi #os #lite #distribution https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ope.. Should be good for running on older #raspberry #pi #hardware !
Weird, my #ubuntu #wifi completely shit itself for no reason at all. I wonder whether there isn't some #bug in the #hardware or #driver ? After turning it off and back on, it appears to have come back? Still need some #dns though ...
Oh dear, the #us #government have #banned the #export of A100 and H100 #nvidia #gpu #hardware to #russia and #china https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/.. This is the beginning of something quite a lot worse.
Really interesting #baremetal #library for the #raspberrypi #platform to #access the #hardware at blazing speed: https://hackaday.com/2022/05/08/free-you.. Really cool work.
Turns out that #putin may have #underestimated his #invasion into #ukraine , as his #military #hardware breaks down and #requires #repairs - where the #manufacturing is based in the #cities he is #bombing ! https://youtube.com/watch?v=Uo5mf224AH8 This is a massive #military #planning #failure !
The #us #senate just announced #spending for over a #trillion #dollars on #defence https://www.zerohedge.com/military/dod-c.. If it's nit being spent on #military #hardware , that may mean it's being spent on #soldier #wages ?
Very interesting #discussion about bringing a #hardware #project #product to #market https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=305.. Something I may have to #consider in the #future - certainly worth keeping on the #backlog !
#business #idea - a #modern take on a #tamagotchi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi This would be based on similar #hardware to the M5 #stack #core 2 and would employ #modern #techniques such as #machine #learning , #iot , #connectivity , etc. The #concept would be to create an #emotionally #compelling #agent whose overall #goal is to #maximize #engagement . It would pre- #trained , but be allowed to freely #learn in the wild, with some #safety #parameters and #reset #functionality .
The #mnt #reform #laptop is fully #opensource , both #hardware and #software https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/01/.. It's a very cool piece of hardware! Definitely a laptop I wouldn't mind having!
I really wish #pine 's #pinephonepro was not so #expensive at $400 https://www.pine64.org/2022/01/11/pineph.. It looks like an amazing piece of #hardware ... I also really wish they would #embrace my #idea of #modular #hardware - it is after all what has made #desktop #computers so #robust and what made the #original #ibm #thinkpad #laptops so sought after.
Ouch, #aws had a #powerfailure that wiped out #physical #hardware - including #servers and #data that will never be #recovered https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/22/a.. Some #server #admins are having a *very* bad #christmas all things considered.
popcorncomputer 's new #pocketpc is a very cool #linuxpda with similar #hardware to #pine 's #pinebook (OG), #pinephone and #pinetab on the #arm A64: https://pocket.popcorncomputer.com/ According to #tuxphones it's quite a nice #device https://tuxphones.com/popcorn-computer-p.. The device itself is supposed to cost between $300-$400 #usd #dollars - a little too #expensive than I'm willing to pay.
Interesting, the #us 's #pentagon appeared to have boxed themselves into a corner by relying on a #monopoly #supplier for the #production of #critical #military #hardware - specifically #globalfoundries #semiconductors https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/monop.. Apparently the #chips is #gps systems.
