Notebookcheck often does reviews of miniPCs, while they don’t have a dedicated toggly for miniPC (at least on this page), you can filter by brand which should get you pretty close.

Liliputing covers mini-PCs, but reviews are rather rare.

Why not get either a DIY Raspberry Pi type media player/server or if you need other streaming subscriptions a licensed Android TV box.

What the fuck? Why would they waste time on this shit?

I don’t think they are lying in the technical sense, it all depends on what they define as “sandbox/continenment” and the nature of their prompts and output.

That being said, the AI Doom is well known propaganda technique used by those who stand to benefit from the hype.

This is more like MP3 or H264, a compression algorithm that strives to be perceptually lossless mid to high end.

For much of mainstream music, on a vast majority of speaker/headphones it’s difficult to tell a 256 KB MP3 and a FLAC.

This is sort of similar. Just read up on it.

The EV demand changes reflect the population that is currently looking for a new car (have the money and are willing to buy) and people were previously “on the margin”, those who weren’t looking to buy a car immediately (more like sometime in the next 6-18 months), but due to fuel price changes they have now moved into the first group.

I was curious about the differentiation between predictions on delays and cancellations.

Delays happen all the time in complex projects. A relatively modest level of cancellations is also to be expected, you’ll have relatively less experienced “business hustlers” pitching completely unrealistic proposals to returns hungry rich investors or even larger entities attempting some level on consolidation and cancelling the least efficient projects.

But if say 40% of planned projects for 2026 (on a capacity basis) are permanently cancelled that seems like a sign of more systematic issues.

I wasn’t able to get the PDF because they want my email and name. But the stats shared in the article and promo page actually imply that delivery rates will be below 50% (capacity basis):

At least 16GW of capacity is slated to come online in 2026 across roughly 140 projects. Yet only about 5GW is currently under construction. Around 11GW remains in the announced stage with no visible construction progress, despite typical build timelines of 12–18 months.

5 GW out of 16 is 31% and just because something is under construction, doesn’t mean it can’t slip. I guess some smaller projects may be be able to rapidly build out and deliver in 9 months, but this sounds more like an exception.

I do wonder what the rate of “legal” fraud (not a fly by night rug pull) is in this area what percentage of the both planned and under construction capacity is attributed to hyoerscalers/large tech firms and the major “AI” firms.

It seems these features will be available throughout the Zen 6 line and configurable via BIOS/UEFI.

From the AMD Zen 6 PQOS Extensions Whitepaper:

GLBE provides a mechanism for software to specify bandwidth limits for groups of logical processors that span multiple QOS Domains. This collection of QOS Domains is referred to as the GLBE Control Domain. The GLBE Ceiling is a bandwidth ceiling for L3 External Bandwidth competitively shared between all logical processors in a given Class of Service (COS) across all QOS Domains within the GLBE Control Domain.

By default, all QOS Domains in the system are included in a single GLBE Control Domain. However, BIOS
options may establish several GLBE Control Domains within the system.

I am assuming you will need motherboard support and OEMs will limit this to expensive enterprise SKU. Much like ECC and anything beyond dual channel memory.

That being said, I can’t really think of any mainstream uses cases where this would be helpful. The only thing that comes to mind is a homelab / DIY workstation case where you have a powerful CPU that you run background tasks on while using it for mid to low level work cases while those background tasks are running. And even then this would depend on how the sensitivity of your task to L3 cache availability.

I do a lot of video encoding/ML Upscaling (sometimes a 10 minute 1080p video can take around 5-6 hours to upscale to 4K using extremely aggressive settings that heavily prioritize output quality relative to processing demand) and even with some limits on GPU/CPU throughput, I can’t fully make the background task not interfere with whatever I am doing if I am upscaling to 4K).

I get the high level logic, I think it makes sense, but IMO including wording that suggests taking a measured perspective without any specifics regarding “an instance wide ban, on any server on all on Lemmy” is not practical due to publicly documented moderation rules that openly condtradicts reality (e.g. Moderation rules reject reality around North Korea).

Just some feedback and thoughts. I was thinking very high level and I don’t think a discussion around specifics is too helpful.

I honestly can’t formulate what I think about US/Israeli’s mass scale assault on Iran. I don’t support it, but the alleged religious dictatorship is a fucking embarrassment for modern society. And it doesn’t seem the regime will end, but who knows. They unfortunately might even come out stronger after active combat is over.

It may well turn into an invasion, but Trump is too much of a coward deep down and lacks attachment to anything real to make tough choices (even if they are bad and disasterous)

He is all about fucking around and acting out. I don’t think he has the capability to have a strong belief or commitment about anything (his love for himself notwithstanding).

Israel would only agree to send Americans to do the dirty work and get killed as living shields for targeted Israeli special forces attacks. But I don’t see them choosing a path to any measure of risk to try and absolutely maximize the likelihood of the end of pig feet kissing theocratic dectatorship.

On one hand, I am really happy that Khamenei got killed in an air strike in his own compound. Shit stain had it coming, my only regret is that his turd son didn’t get turned into mince meat two weeks before Khamenei. But at least he achieved the cosmic balance by reincarnating into a pig turd that keeps coming out of a pigs asshole; he has become part of the circle of life, a very special part. I says this as an atheist.

It’s been a while since I was contact with Iranians from Iran, but I am willing to be bet many in Iran also share my views on Khamenei, if not my colourful language.

One could say, well at last the American oligarch got a taste of reality; I don’t get that impression and I don’t think anyone is seriously saying that. Their perspective is probably more along the lines of extreme weather in far away country adding two to six basis points of negative sentiment to T2.3 adjusted revenue forecast for a period for 6 to 9 months. Microsoft valuation is defacto nominal, $400 B valuation gain one year $1.1 B loss another 6 weeks.

I generally get the logic of this, but I would clarify what the last part of the third quoted paragraph means. An instance ban on any server that uses the Lemmy platform is an instant ban on the whole of Piefed?

I am surprised it’s not more than half.

One thing to keep in mind is this is shipment share, not quiet the same thing as unit share or revenue share. It’s a huge achievement either way, but it’s something to keep in mind.

It seems they’ve built a successful beachhead, I wouldn’t be surprised if (some) other countries start adopting Chinese enterprise GPUs if the cost to performance ratio makes sense (and the sheer size of the Chinese market and full commitment of the CCP means this issue is not unresolvable).

A bit of tangent, for some reason, whenever the topic of the rise of Chinese technology platforms/systems is discussed I keep remembering watching “Free to Choose”, which from some quick web searching I found out was the 1990 rebroadcast, on a pirated VHS as kid in the 90s (even though this was in Eastern Europe, english language pirate VHSs were already available).

I didn’t have the knowledge, life experience or minimal maturity to evaluate (or even understand) the series. I really watched it because of the cool imagery of Hong Kong; my father occasionally traveled there for work and it felt like such a different and interesting place. That being said I do think I subconsciously was a bit cautious about the message. While I didn’t understand the context, it just felt a bit off. I think people in Eastern Europe are in general skeptical of “Deus ex machina” type arguments due to disastrous legacy of communism and it’s direct association with russian genocidal imperialism. I even want to say that when I watched the series as a kid, I thought it was strange that they kept repeating the terms freedom so much, but I might have made that up after the fact.

Back to enterprise GPUs, the freedom to choose [your enterprise GPU provider], only comes around if you are a gigantic economy with the ability to engage in extremely expensive industrial policy while also having a “captive market” large enough that it can nurture and kickstart and native industry.

Not to mention the personal freedoms lost by Hong Kong (with significant backing of HK oligarchs and senior businessmen).

I would stick to topics outside of politics and memes.

Is this something like Mbin, but for integrating Threadi and Sharkey/Misskey?

They own Red Hat and IIRC, it’s their fastest growing (if not largest) business unit.

It’s not that bad.
