CitricBase@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•New York City mayoral race: Mamdani leads Cuomo by 19 points, poll shows
15·5 months agoNYC uses ranked choice voting, so this poll result is expected. If someone’s first choice was Cuomo in the primary, why should they change that? They can put Mamdani second.
I agree with you, ranked choice voting does make the whole concept of primaries largely redundant. And yes, Cuomo, along with other party bourgeois, is turncoat for not endorsing Mamdani after the primary.

5·6 months agoYou’re absolutely right! Dreamcast and Saturn make a very good point: The major players are dragging their feet way longer than is warranted.

Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still DriftingEnglish
8·6 months agoHi, are you able to share more about the power efficiencies of each type of sensor? Some cursory browsing of TI datasheets gives me the impression that both types use a similar amount of power. I may be missing some context, though.
I did also find this cool report there. Could be pertinent, although from what I understand of the technology I don’t see why you couldn’t use the same techniques to save power with a digipot.

Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still DriftingEnglish
204·6 months agoIt would be, if that were the case.
This article is not alledging a systematic pattern of stick drift in the Switch 2, like there was with the Switch. It isn’t even saying that so much as a single case of stick drift has been found.
What it’s saying is that the Switch 2 still uses potentiometers, a technology which can be susceptible to stick drift. You know, like every single other major console ever launched. So, as of now, we have no particular reason to believe that the Switch 2 will drift worse than the PS5 or any other system.
That said, all the major players are dragging their feet a bit longer on Hall effect sticks a little bit longer than is warranted, Nintendo included.
Isn’t Argentina also being run by a sexist egotistical populist TV star who’s destroying their government from the inside out? Out of the frying pan and into the fire…
You are asking for 1TB of RAM. Keying it to M.2 wouldn’t make it any cheaper or better than keying it to regular DDR5. I don’t think that even just a tenth of that would physically fit onto an NVMe drive, even if someone wanted it to.
Put in that context, do you begin to see now why that isn’t a thing that exists?
Also: leave tariffs on raw materials in place, making local production even less competitive than before.

Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English
2·9 months agoMe too! I upgraded to Fedora Linux. It’s amazing how everything just works, even all the games I play.

13·9 months agoYour experience is not invalid, but It’s fucked up that you’re giving Windows credit for “just working” when Windows doesn’t even try to support dual booting. In fact the reason Linux is having so much trouble is because it has to tiptoe so that Windows doesn’t break.
If you don’t like Gnome or Mint Cinnamon, why not try KDE? Something like Kubuntu, perhaps? I use Fedora KDE myself.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump sends innocent man to El Salvador for having autism awareness tattooEnglish
166·9 months agoYep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.
Remember, points are not a measure of skill. Points are a measure of how much ballchasing a player does. Don’t focus on points.
Don’t focus on your teammate’s mistakes. You cannot change or improve your teammate. Focus on your own mistakes, on what you could have done better in any given play. That’s how you’ll improve, and improving is literally the only way to rank up.
Even on plays where it looks like it’s 100% your teammate’s fault, question that. Could you have done anything to make the play develop more favorably? Could it be that you rotated erratically, throwing your teammate out of position? I can almost guarantee there are situations where you’re not realizing that you’re cutting your teammate off.
As I’m sure you know, it’s usually much easier to identify mistakes that your teammate makes rather than your own. So watch some of your replays, but from your teammate’s perspective; then you’ll be the “teammate” and it will be easier to see what you need to improve on.

Technology@lemmy.world•Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people”English
61·9 months agoThat is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn’t intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.
The AI companies don’t seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn’t they, when power is so cheap.

They were the leading firm in a field where having the most data makes yours the most accurate tests. Their product sold for hundreds of dollars a pop, with practically zero marginal costs to run the tests. And they were really popular, selling like hotcakes.
It’s insane just how astoundingly incompetent upper management can be sometimes.
When you donate to a software project, you’re not giving money to some inanimate concept. You’re giving it to the developers, the “random people associated with it.”
Kling’s actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don’t want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.


How do you expect me, or anyone else, to provide you with the inner working details of Google’s surreptitiously closed-as-fuck custom SoCs? That’s the entire basis of the problem, it’s closed-as-fuck and there is nothing that you or I or anyone else can do to verify that it isn’t malicious.
At this point, you have to choose whether or not to trust the manufacturer. Given that the manufacturer is the most notoriously data-hungry surveillance corporation in the history of the entire world, I choose not to trust them. I wouldn’t trust them, even if they were to claim not to spy on us with these phones. (Incidentally, that is not something they claim.)
