There's a long way to get there. Valve doesn't even distribute a version of SteamOS for generic hardware, only builds for specific devices. There's a good reason for that I'm sure, it's probably difficult to actually ensure support and functionality across so many different devices and drivers. The amount of work would be huge so they're probably just focusing on a few things to make sure what they're making actually works as well as it can.

I wouldn't even be so sure that they actually want to be the ones offering something for generic hardware. Putting your name behind something means you need to support it and I'm not sure Valve actually wants to be accountable for desktop Linux working across such a wide variety of systems. I think they might prefer working on their own shit (Proton, DXVK, whatever) and releasing it so other distros can take it and offer the generic version instead.

>>107830804
Valve will release a generic hardware version of SteamOS at some point which is why OP's post is in the future tense.

>is ASM still really used?
For sure. Usually not in large amounts, but for critical functions, especially where compilers have a tendency to choose to do something deeply suboptimal.
It's a bit more common in firmware than in application code.

When I was in highschool in Croatia we have specialistic ex-commie "blue collar" highschools and I loved tech so I went into electrical engineering highschool ("low voltage" path as it was called). Aside general highschool shit we learned how semiconductors worked, general electrical engineering, amplifiers, some informational theory, etc etc and a tiny bit of low level programming like in assembly and matlab. We had to code up a microcontroller and flash LEDs in a row in specific manner. Was fun.
Then in college me and buddy of mine liked to joke that most of the electrical engineers there are "arduino engineers" so I tried hard learning more about PIC and ARM architectures and how I could code in assembly rather than in that arduino ide. Did some pcb stuff, coded few microcontrolers. Was fun.

Then after a while didn't touch it because I went into Python as a career path. Wanted to touch on reverse engineering a bit so I started heavy learning asm but it never lead anywhere because I got demotivated and old. That shit is for hardocre no life autists. I enjoyed our little fling while we had it tho.

> They've tried training AI on its own generated data, and it quickly degenerates to nonsense.
Did you know that this is not 100% true, only 90% true. Carefully selected and prompted synthetic data that has been tested to be correct is the best training data there is, however it’s not as easy to get in large quantities. However if it becomes smarter then humans then it could just make it on its own and filter it through real world interactions, kinda like how civilisation developed.
> because pleasing humans is its only purpose.
I agree, we gave it purpose and can add reward feedback loops that reward it for pleasing us. Even if we avoid some minmaxxing sci-if version of monkey paw like turning humans into lobotomised chunks of brains in jars optimised to feel nothing but drugged pleasure you still run into the fact that the people developing it have no use for you, so while it could just please humans forever, who decides which humans. Earth has limited resources and our 8 billion population is already straining it, so there will have to be eventually a trade off between bigger luxury and pleasure or lower standards of living but without killing billions of people.

>>107829377
Interesting, however if you look at what’s happening it’s not really helping your case. The country with most solar production and deployment is China, country that does not have many datacenters, they instead use that energy to build more solar panels quicker, and currently have had the first year of decline in emissions. US on the other hand is building natural gas power plants because they can’t produce enough of those cheap solar panels, because just because they are cheap does not mean you can build lot of them easily, things cost materials to build, different materials, not just pouring money into it and magically making it happen. So every bit of energy wasted is bad and not helping.
>>107829377
It is using up lot of electricity and using up drinking clean water, because dirty water or salt water would cause buildup of salt and minerals clogging the system. And when you use clean water you eventually evaporate it and then it rains down (mostly into sea) and goes to become dirty water again requiring more treatment, not to mention that if you are using more water then rains down, you will have to eventually start pumping water from lakes and underground, at which point you are actually using up water that will not return to the lake or ground unless you start consuming less then it rains again.

> not 100% perfect
Not the problem
The problem is the tech industry already produces 99% useless shit that nobody wants or needs but winds up using for a variety of involuntary reasons. AI can produce the same useless shit, which means we'll see a 100x increase in how much shitty tech we're forced to use. It's making the world worse because tech in general makes the world worse.
I'm not a "luddite": show me an AI that can ensure shitty tech products will die and useful tech will thrive and I'll happily admit AI might improve the world.

so you both think there's practically zero risk either way. fine, thank you. still not sure which way to go desu.

didnt have time today, maybe tomorrow i will reattach the fan and test temps.

What are some good options to consider if I want to build/run a custom router+firewall with pfsense/opnsense?

I'd like to have at least 8 1g rj45 ports, but having 1 or even 2 SFP+ ports would be fantastic. Thoughts on harware?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of building a NAS in my place. The problem is I don't have a storage closet or anything to hide it, so it would be going right next to my workstation and home theater.

Is the Jonsbo N5 going to be really loud? I would replace the fans with say Arctic PWMs. Anyone have experience with this? I'm trying to avoid going the Fractcal Define 7 XL route since its so gargantuan.

I currently use a 10 year old pc in an old NZXT case with 2x 24tb, but I would be loading up the Jonsbo with 6x 24tb most likely
