From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Still better than Windows 11

Well yeah. I mean, computers back then weren't just spyware in a Scooby Doo mask.

Hold on! I'm currently booting the kernel mentally. I've been at this for 2 weeks now....

i can run doom at 120fps with full ray tracing and Dolby surround sound, you just gotta take my word on it.

All it takes is a little hypnosis and a bunch of LSD.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah man, I just think B:/run doom.exe

Forward slash doesn't throw a mental syntax error? ;)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Nah, I'm running AussieOS, they're flipped.

Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it's more like head-only rendering 😆

I can run a mod of doom with photorealistic graphics, all I need is a shotgun and a chainsaw.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

So you don’t support Wayland yet?

I am a neural network that can generate highly photorealistic frames of Doom that seem like real life. I have no output port so these images cannot be seen by others.

Hold on, I just need to clear a mental blockage: https://youtube.com/shorts/QSbUK1XzgCc?si=Ld8HkfJj4KDwloDr

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

[–] spittingimage 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

Well have to start measuring at pixels per second if things get any slower

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

*seconds per pixel

At last I'll be able to get a decent accuracy score despite my oyster-like reflexes :)

Obligatory does it run doom comment

[–] [email protected] 66 points 3 months ago

We don't know yet, the first frame has been rendering for the last two weeks.

[–] bluemite 13 points 3 months ago

It will run Doom at 60 frames per year

Next stop, we will make installing Linux on a Dead badger a reality.

The nucleosome is Turing complete, so any day now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Doesn't count until it runs doom.

The 4004 is that tiny dip-16 chip the the top left, second box marked CPU. A working 4004 is worth around $300+ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=intel+4004

They are quite the collectors item as the first microprocessor

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

That's a question a hacker shouldn't ever ask.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't*

They're so preoccupied with wether they could, that they never stopped to think wether they should

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions. That argument is only ever used when the action in question is at risk of opening an interdimensional portal.

Oh, Doom, right...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This reads like an anti AI blurb...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Your post read like AI to me, hence the first sentence.

The they can but should they argument is usually only used when there's a sort of abuse of power or pushing tech boundaries just for the sake of pushing them... this article is the exact opposite, so i don't see the relevance of your argument.

I was making a joke with leisesprecher's comment, is all.

Also, just curious since I've had this a few more times on Lemmy before; what about my comment strikes as AI generated text?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Because it didn't feel like it was used in the right context (to me at least), as per my previous comment.

When it takes 5 days to boot, you don’t have time to wait for IF statements

6 W of power but no AND and OR The energyprices have to go up some more for me accept that trade off...

Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming

Emulator again?
