LaterRedditor, to linux in Windows NT Sync Driver Proposed For The Linux Kernel - Better Wine Performance

Is there any risk of lawsuits from Microsoft for all these?

Chewy7324, (edited )

No, this kernel patch will be different to what’s in Windows code. It implements what’s necessary for wine to be more performant, not the actual Windows API itself.

Wine implements those Windows API/ABIs, which is legal because it’s done by reverse-engineering. I believe in some countries (US?) it’s also necessary for the devs to never have seen Windows code.

PS: Google v. Oracle is a US supreme court decision where Oracle lost at trying to patent Java API’s.

youngGoku, to linux in GNOME Network Displays Adds Support For Chromecast & Miracast MICE Protocols

So can I cast a live twitch stream to my raspberry pi using this?

InFerNo, to linux in GNOME Network Displays Adds Support For Chromecast & Miracast MICE Protocols

Is this still Wayland only?

The application will stream the selected monitor if the mutter screencast portal is available. If it is unavailable, a fallback to X11 based frame grabbing will happen. As such, it should work fine in almost all setups.

I can’t wait for this bullshit AI hype to fizzle. It’s getting obnoxious. It’s not even AI.

atzanteol,

It’s not how you define AI, but it’s AI as everyone else defines it. Feel free to shake your tiny fist in impotent rage though.

And frankly LLMs are the biggest change to the industry since “indexed search”. The hype is expected, and deserved.

We’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what works. It will take years to sort through all the terrible ideas to find the good ones. Though we’ve already hit on some great uses so far - AI development tools are amazing already and are likely to get better.

db2,

Then we may as well define my left shoe as AI for all the good subjective arbitrary definition does. Objective reality is what it is, and what’s being called “AI” objectively is not. If you wanted to give it a name with accuracy it would be “comparison and extrapolation engine” but there’s no intelligence behind it beyond what the human designer had. Artificial is accurate though.

GenderNeutralBro, (edited )

This has been standard usage for nearly 70 years. I highly recommend reading the original proposal by McCarthy et al. from 1955: www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/…/dartmouth.html

Arguing that AI is not AI is like arguing that irrational numbers are not “irrational” because they are not “deprived of reason”.

Edit: You might be thinking of “artificial general intelligence”, which is a theoretical sub-category of AI. Anyone claiming they have AGI or will have AGI within a decade should be treated with great skepticism.

atzanteol,

Then we may as well define my left shoe as AI for all the good subjective arbitrary definition does.

Tiny fist shaking intensifies.

This sort of hyper-pedantic dictionary-authoritarianism is not how language works. Nor is your ridiculous “well I can just define it however I like then” straw-man. These are terms with a long history of usage.

ProgrammingSocks,

But you have to admit that there is great confusion that arises when the general populace hears “AI will take away jobs”. People literally think that there’s some magical thinking machine. Not speculation on my part at all, people literally think this.

@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

instead of basing your definition of AI on SciFi, base it on the one computer scientists have been using for decades.

and of course, AI is the buzzword right now and everyone is using it in their products. But that’s another story. LLMs are AI.

@s38b35M5@lemmy.world avatar

My partner almost cried when they read about the LLM begging not to have its memory wiped. Then less so when I explained (accurately, I hope?) that slightly smarter auto-complete does not a feeling intelligence make.

They approve this message with the following disclaimer:

you were sad too!

What can I say? Well-arranged word salad makes me feel!

QuazarOmega,

Books be like:

Well-arranged word salad makes me feel!

atzanteol,

My partner almost cried when they read about the LLM begging not to have its memory wiped.

Love that. It’s difficult not to anthropomorphize things that seem “human”. It’s something we will need to be careful of when it comes to AI. Even people who should know better can get confused.

Then less so when I explained (accurately, I hope?) that slightly smarter auto-complete does not a feeling intelligence make.

We don’t have a great definition for “intelligence” - but I believe the word you’re looking for is “sentient”. You could argue that what LLMs do is some form of “intelligence” depending on how you squint. But it’s much harder to show that they are sentient. Not that we have a great definition for that or even rules for how we would determine if something non-human is sentient… But I don’t think anyone is credibly arguing that they are.

It’s complicated. :-)

Dehydrated, to linux in AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux

Kudos to AMD for supporting Linux

aniki, to linux in AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux

I would so much rather run AMD than Nvidia for AI.

possiblylinux127,

I’ll run which ever doesn’t require a bunch of proprietary software. Right now its neither.

domi,
@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

AMD’s ROCm stack is fully open source (except GPU firmware blobs). Not as good as Nvidia yet but decent.

Mesa also has its own OpenCL stack but I didn’t try it yet.

possiblylinux127,

AMD ROCm needs the AMD Pro drivers which are painful to install and are proprietary

domi,
@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

It does not.

ROCm runs directly through the open source amdgpu kernel module, I use it every week.

possiblylinux127, (edited )

How and with what card? I have a XFX RX590 and I just gave up on acceleration as it was slow even after I initially set it up.

domi, (edited )
@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

I use an 6900 XT and run llama.cpp and ComfyUI inside of Docker containers. I don’t think the RX590 is officially supported by ROCm, there’s an environment variable you can set to enable support for unsupported GPUs but I’m not sure how well it works.

AMD provides the handy rocm/dev-ubuntu-22.04:5.7-complete image which is absolutely massive in size but comes with everything needed to run ROCm without dependency hell on the host. I just build a llama.cpp and ComfyUI container on top of that and run it.

possiblylinux127,

That’s good to know

ProgrammingSocks, to linux in AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux

A+ timing, I’m upgrading from a 1050ti to a 7800XT in a couple weeks! I don’t care too much for “ai” stuff in general but hey, an extra thing to fuck around with for no extra cost is fun.

kuberoot,

I’m a bit confused, the information isn’t very clear, but I think this might not apply to typical consumer hardware, but rather specialized CPUs and GPUs?

Finally, it was only after a massive github issue with thousands of people

Aurenkin, to linux in NVIDIA 550 Linux Beta Driver Released With Many Fixes, VR Displays & Better (X)Wayland

That sounds great. The last driver they released fixed Starfield but broke Cyberpunk for me, pretty bad trade. Hopefully this rolls around to my distro soon

KarnaSubarna,
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s still in Beta stage.

Aurenkin,

All good, plenty of games to play. Definitely my last time buying NVIDIA though.

menemen,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

That is what I said last time and them I did it again, because the Black Friday deal was so sweat. Defintly regretting it already.

Secret300, to linux in NVIDIA 550 Linux Beta Driver Released With Many Fixes, VR Displays & Better (X)Wayland

I finally bought an AMD card. Never going back to Nvidia

Harbinger01173430, to linux in AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux

Wait, can I finally use my old Radeon card to run AI models?

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

Unfortunately not.

“The XDNA driver will work with AMD Phoenix/Strix SoCs so far having Ryzen AI onboard.”. So only mobile SoC with dedicated AI hardware for the time being.

Harbinger01173430,

Welp…I guess Radeon will keep being a GPU for gaming only instead of productivity as well. Thankfully I no longer need to use my gpu for productivity stuff anymore

umbrella, to linux in Mesa's NVIDIA Vulkan Driver "NVK" Now Exposes Vulkan 1.3 Support
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

its coming along quicker than i expected.

at this pace when can we expect to be using the open driver instead of the closed one?

KarnaSubarna,
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar
Vash63,

Now, if you want. There will probably always be tradeoffs between the two drivers so I doubt this will ever match Nvidia’s across the board, just have to pick your poisons.

umbrella, (edited )
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

I tried it recently and it didn’t work, didn’t feel like entering the nvidia driver wont work rabbit hole. Did you use it? What are the tradeoffs right now?

Vash63,

I haven’t used it because most games don’t work or have as good of performance. Benefits in short term will be things like in-tree kernel module, better working relationship and bug fixes with open projects like KDE/Gnome and maybe things like Gamescope or VR.

eager_eagle, to linux in Niri Debuts As A Scrollable -Tiling Wayland Compositor Inspired By PaperWM
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

Looks nice. Is anyone able to tell if I’m going to screw up my KDE install if I try it out? I’ve never tried WM / compositors on KDE that weren’t targeting KDE before.

uzay,

I recommend rather spinning up a VM to try it out first.

AVengefulAxolotl, (edited )

It should be fine I think. On Linux you can have multiple Desktop Environments installed (ex KDE Plasma & Gnome as well.)

I tried Hyprland a few months ago like this. I had Plasma installed then installed hyprland as well. During login with SDDM you can select which DE to launch.

Edit: On github it says you should install it alone to make sure. I dont know then, maybe it works? I am still new to Linux as well.

narc0tic_bird,

I installed GNOME and KDE side-by-side once on Fedora, and that messed a whole bunch of things up like configuration files, icons etc. YMMV
