When I was in Korea, I leaned that chickens can (sort of) fly. They can flap their wings hard enough to get from the ground to a tree branch maybe 8 feet or so off the ground, and safely back down.
And I’ve heard chickens tasted better back in the old days. A bird that eats grubs, worms, grasshoppers, frogs, snakes, etc tastes different than one that just eats chickenfeed all day.
Probably better to ask on !localllama@sh.itjust.works. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.
The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.
Short answer - yes, you can do it. It’s just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you’re willing to wait for an answer.
One thing I love about usenet is that it’s great if you’re just looking for one episode, song, etc and don’t want to download a whole collection.
Why replace torrents? Why not use both? It’s a bonus if your usenet provider includes a VPN.
I know right? It’s like he and Linus(LTT) are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Long story short, it’s not worth it.
You probably don’t want it

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.
I pirated a certain ‘crash cars and shoot’em up’ game because, even though I own it on Steam, the gameplay (especially the launcher) absolutely sucks.
No more automatically downloading online content when I don’t even play online and no more updates breaking my mods. It’s worked out so well that I’m looking at pirating other games I already own.
I really hope those patches make their way into the other distros. I’ve got a few Linux machines and the Steam Deck is the only one that wakes from sleep without locking up. It’s also the only one that allocates VRAM for the iGPU automatically when a game needs more.
I don’t think the handheld data is accurate. The Steam Deck, and any other x86 handheld, will probably be lumped in with PC sales. But still, the Nintendo Switch should have huge numbers by itself.
I’d definitely swap as many parts in/out as possible before buying new stuff. Besides, you might end up finding out something just became unseated or unplugged - it happens over time. Just have some thermal paste handy before you start swapping CPUs.
Does it boot / POST at all?
Thanks for posting. I’m still new to this and had no idea what settings I should be using.
It’s probably a pain to set up in Windows. In Linux, it just works, there’s nothing to set up. I’m using it right now.
OP really should have mentioned their OS.
Edit: Actually, nevermind both my posts. I know DRI_PRIME works by using my APU for regular desktop activity, and routing discrete GPU output in whenever a game is being played. But I don’t know if it’s possible to make it use the dGPU all the time.
Even if it did, it would only work inside the OS, so if you had to boot into the BIOS for anything, you wouldn’t have a display. So for all intents and purposes, it wouldn’t really work.
I just did a quick bing chat search (“does DRI_PRIME work on systems without a cpu with integrated graphics?”) and it says it will work. I can’t check for you because my CPUs all have graphics.
I CAN tell you that some motherboards will support it (my ASUS does) and some don’t (my MSI).
BTW, I’m talking about Linux. If you’re using Windows, there’s a whole series of hoops you have to jump through. LTT did a video a while back.
I just looked at my Steam stats today and 52% is RT3. There may be plenty of games that surpass it in visuals, but game mechanics are a different story, and without a stock market I don’t see much of a point.
I played Tropico 3-5, but gave up after they refused to give us highways and overpasses.
AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG’s hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.
You may want to ask over in !datahoarder@lemmy.ml . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it’s perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.
If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.
Edit: If your CPU doesn’t support the codec, it will still work, it just won’t be accelerated.
Lol, I came here to ask the same thing.
Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].
I’m like “what’d we ever do to you?”
