Is it possible to rip books from a Kindle Paperwhite 7th Generation onto my M1 Mac? in c/[email protected]

Calibre allows you to maintain a library of you ebooks and sync it with devices (including Kindle). It is also able to convert the ebooks to all formats you need.

I mostly use it to get ebooks from z-lib and put them on my Kindle. But it works the other way around, too.

Will there be AI accelerator cards in the future of gaming PCs? in c/[email protected]

Two very interesting articles. Thank you for that!

Especially the analog processor is a game changer with having the computation directly in memory. Generally, analog computers are a very interesting subject!

The PhysX debate was also before my time. But I read into it, and it seems like they solved it partly software based. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I just skimmed over the PPU subject. But with AI we are talking about hardware limitations, especially memory.

Currently, AI operations mean a lot of time-consuming copy tasks between CPU and GPU.

Will there be AI accelerator cards in the future of gaming PCs? (feddit.de)
 

Hi there, I want to share some thoughts and want to hear your opinions on it.

Recently, AI developments are booming also in the sense of game development. E.g. NVIDIA ACE which would bring the possibility of NPCs which run an AI model to communicate with players. Also, there are developments on an alternative to ray tracing where lighting, shadows and reflections are generated using AI which would need less performance and has similar visual aesthetics as ray tracing.

So it seems like raster performance is already at a pretty decent level. And graphic card manufacturers are already putting increasingly AI processors on the graphics card.

In my eyes, the next logical step would be to separate the work of the graphics card, which would be rasterisation and ray tracing, from AI. Resulting in maybe a new kind of PCIe card, an AI accelerator, which would feature a processor optimized for parallel processing and high data throughput.

This would allow developers to run more advanced AI models on the consumer's pc. For compatibility, they could e.g. offer a cloud based subscription system.

So what are your thoughts on this?

Hab mal ein Bild gemacht, für die die es interessiert. :)

You can create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for just yourself. This way you can connect to the server as it is in your home network.

To be able to do this, you have to install a VPN server (like Wireguard or OpenVPN on your seed box).

To connect to the server you can then use SSH if you run a Linux server.

60 Liter Müllsack voll mit Instant Nudeln. Die hatten einen Stand an der Uni und wollten vermutlich Feierabend machen, also haben die uns einfach alles gegeben was die hatten. War eine Weile versorgt. :D

Even if it includes a physical disk, it will most probably only have the launcher or a downloader on it.

Just 26 DVDs or a mere 178 CD-ROMs

Ist mir auch schon öfter passiert. Aber besser für mich.

libgen.rs is imo one of the best sites for e-books. Until now I found everything I needed.

Interessant. Wohne eher ländlich und habe in 5km Umkreis 3 Packstationen und zwei DHL Packetshops.
