Will people ever be nostalgic for the xbox one? For the iphone 14?
I doubt it. These products might even be good, but they are not like their early ancestors in several significant ways that will have them relegated to the footnotes of history. Most importantly, they are difficult to distinguish from both their immediate predecessors and their immediate successors. I don't mean to say that people won't have treasured experiences from this time that they long for in 20 years, just that I doubt the console will play as significant of a role in the memory.
I got an Xbox One in college. One thing that it had that I'm surprised my PS5 doesn't have was split screen functionality. You could play a game and watch TV (or do whatever else) at the same time. I never touched an XSX so I can't attest if it has something similar, but the concept was pretty neat.
I wouldn't say I'm nostalgic for the X1, but it was a good piece of hardware.
Just for the joke, I own the og Xbox One and it’s the only console I hated from day one.
I clearly remember plugging it to my TV with excitement and being greeted with gigabytes of mandatory updates. And then I discovered that you weren’t able to play the game from the disk and that you need to install it on the fucking hard drive !! And then I discovered that the disc reader was actually slower than my fiber connection which means it was faster to play a game from the online store than installing it from a real disk.
I think I had to wait for at least a full hour just to play my first game.
And on top of that the performance was actually not that good. 30fps everywhere, it was worse than the Nintendo games on Wii / GameCube which usually ran at 50/60fps.
I still own this shit but I never liked it. At least it was useful some month ago when I had to update my Xbox controller firmware (but since I didn’t power it on for years , I also had to wait for updates :) ).
True, true, so true. Actually when a large outside power is screwing with your populace you gotta crackdown on the whole constitution. Yep, that's the only solution i think, sign of the times, I guess!
The U.S. government has not publicly presented any concrete evidence showing that TikTok has actually been used to influence US public opinion in line with CCP policy.
Unfortunately so. Niceties like civil rights and free elections were great before the rise of mortal enemies like Russia and China. Now we have to curtail those for a time to protect our democracy.
Don’t worry, everything will return to normal one day. Pinky swear.
Yeah guys, if it's encrypted by default, it's not a violation of user security or privacy expectations to have a set of master keys that you hold onto and give to third parties to decrypt user devices. I mean it was just encrypted by default... by default...
Awesome work! Just curious, has anyone worked on a tool for migrating github "collaborations"/ social artifacts to radicle, I'm confident this will be solved eventually as existing projects with treasured social artifacts on GH migrate, just curious about the current state.
Yeah I wouldn't hope for that to be smooth/possible, others probably have stricter needs but IMO as long something indicates what github name "said" something, the most important part is preserving the context of why decisions were made rather than who said what and if it's cryptographically verifiable that some radicle identity has/had control of a github identity that said something in the past
I think the recently introduced -fit option which is on by default means it's no longer necesary to -ngl, can also probably drop -c which is "0" by default and reads metadata from the gguf to get the model's advertised context size
I had already removed three parameters which were no longer needed, but I hadn't yet heard that the other two had also become superfluous. Thank you for the update! llama.cpp sure develops quickly.
