I'm half-way through buying all of my parts.

Pretend that my selected graphics card is the Lisuan G100. Because fuck AMD and NVIDIA.

My usecases are playing around with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, small-time Godot game dev'ing, playing indie games, self-hosting (e.g. a Jellyfin instance for my movie/tv show for my LAN streaming needs) and just general browsing lol. I don't intend to overclock, so 600-650W seems fairly plenty.

I had previously struggled with H.265 video formats, my previous setup with the i5 4670k and NVIDIA 750ti were barely keeping up with anything new, never mind newer standards (somehow runs Ghostrunner 2 @ 1080p 40fps in most terrains!). They held their weight pretty nicely over the years though.

Original source, including in-depth tests and other fancy details of the CPU used in the MAXHUB PC itself (written in Mandarin): https://news.mydrivers.com/1/1070/1070803_all.htm

CPU-Z Single-Core Benchmark and specs from the original source:

That's an 8-core, ~3GHz Base Speed, 32MB L3 cache CPU for the number-crunchers around here.

On the surface, this CPU seems like it's best suited for general desktop and office use, to see it adopted to a PC build product geared for "AI workloads" is interesting. If I'm not mistaken, AI performance is heavily dependent on the GPU rather than on the CPU, so I think that's fine:

In terms of performance, the MAXHUB's AI+ desktop computer is claimed to play 1080P 30fps and 4K 30fps high-bitrate online videos with decent CPU utilization numbers, showing that the KX-7000 CPU acts decently with media workload. Of course, when compared against competitors like Intel or AMD, Zhaoxin is behind, but the key motive here to create an ecosystem that relies entirely on in-house products, and this has apparently happened here.

And that's a good thing, lol.

pretty cool stuff

On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, a shocking and brutal incident unfolded at the University of Warsaw, leaving the academic community in disbelief. Around 6:40 PM, 22-year-old Mieszko R., a law student at the university, attacked two individuals with an axe in the Auditorium Maximum building. The attack resulted in the tragic death of a 53-year-old female porter, who succumbed to her injuries at the scene, while a 39-year-old university security guard sustained serious injuries while attempting to intervene.

In the aftermath of this horrific event, Mieszko R. was charged with murder with particular cruelty, attempted murder of the security guard, and desecration of the victim's body.

Mieszko R. hails from Gdynia and had been studying law at the University of Warsaw. His acquaintances described him as a quiet and reserved individual with interests in military items and the Soviet Union. However, social media activity revealed a darker side; his Instagram account followed profiles associated with far-right groups, including Konfederacja and Młodzież Wszechpolska. Reports indicated that he had a fascination with violence, often watching recordings of gang activities from regions like South America and the Middle East.

Love how news outlets always find a way to blame it on them Lay-Tams, Ay-Rabs, etc.. even if it has nothing to do with them. It's no surprise since it's an Europa specialty. WP Polska and their contemporaries worded that last part slightly differently:

He showed and sometimes watched himself, commenting with a smile on his face, recordings from places like South America or the Middle East, where real gangs kill real people - adds our interlocutor.

I've been working on a small platformer game that squarely revolves around Demoman's mobility mechanics from TF2 (think Sticky Jumper, stickyjumping, trimping, etc..) but in 2D. I'm thinking that there could be potential for something funny and wacky from coalescing some ideas from an FPS game and 2D platformers like VVVVVV, Rayman Origins/Legends and some Flash games from way back then..

So far I only have the movement and projectile physics down.. my artistic abilities leave... a lot to be desired. I haven't decided on the game's core mechanics just yet either, but now I turn to you to gather some inspiration :).

EDIT: attached some gameplay footage

Steam Recording decided to have hiccups here and there on Hyper Hexagonest.. didn't feel like re-recording lol.

i just want to create a community to dump my gaming clips without using too much of lemmy.ml's capacity lol.. Any suggestions?

A new English-language Polish film about Vladimir Putin, in which the Russian president is portrayed using AI-powered special effects to superimpose his real face on an actor, will premiere on 10 January.

The biopic, titled Putin, is the work of Polish filmmaker Patryk Vega, who is best known for movies about the criminal underworld.

The director had initially planned to make a film about Russian gangsters but, after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, he decided to focus on “Russia’s biggest gangster”, Putin, he told newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza.

...

“The audience needed to see the real Putin,” Vega told British newspaper The Telegraph. “They see him every day in the media. Even the best actor with great make-up wouldn’t convincingly portray a figure everyone in the world knows so well.”

I'm looking for something that takes a CV (e.g. md, pdf, odt, whatever) and a site to the job post as inputs and outputs a CV that is tailored to the requirements listed in that job post, without significantly changing the CV in some way..

I know that LLMs would be best used for such a problem, but the issue is that I don't have such a beefy computer to run an LLM locally.. Maybe there's something out there that doesn't use an LLM? Anything that helps with applying and making sure that the CV is attractive enough to your average ATS, honestly.

translation: There are people conjuring thoughts like "I've seen one too many brown people".

Also unsurprising where the sentiment is coming from:

The Ministry of Family and Social Policy argues this is necessary to protect Polish workers from unfair competition and to safeguard vulnerable immigrants.

Translation: we want to retain our whiteness.
