  • 5G cellular is high bandwidth but very short range, so yeah they need that kind of density to maintain coverage. They installed them in a street near me and they’re placed every couple of blocks. It’s useful to think of the usual WiFi router at home: you can set up 2.4g and 5g access points. The 5g ones are faster, but have shorter range and you need to use the 2.4g one if you’re far from the router














  • It’s like all those scandals in academia recently with people catching “peer-reviewed” articles that have this sentence in them: “as a large language model, I cannot X”:

    1. scientists, especially if English is not their native language, getting a little help from AI to more clearly express their thoughts: OK to good
    2. scientists with actual results to share wholesale letting AI do the explaining for them: not so good, maybe OK
    3. scientists just using AI to take half ass lab results into something publishable: bad
    4. journals that rely on the free labor of other academics to peer review also not bothering to check: really bad
    5. mega corporations who charge bazillion dollars to allow access to reading publicly funded research happily allowing all of that to go through without the very basic of paying a copy editor a minimum wage to Ctrl + F for “As a large language model”: straight up evil




  • Yeah, I have one piece of software where I need Windows with a GPU (Fusion 360, got it running on wine once but an update broke it), and my wife needs my PC for Adobe stuff sometimes. I might buy a cheapo used older GPU, I don’t need much since it’s not for gaming. That said, the video showed something that might fix where I got stuck last time trying to pass the integrated GPU, so I’m trying that again. I have a Ryzen 9 with 24 cores, so plenty of juice to go around If that if I can pass the igpu through. Then I could try looking glass and be all set. Thanks for sharing, gave me some hope to try again haha
