Is it possible to rip books from a Kindle Paperwhite 7th Generation onto my M1 Mac?
  • 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.

  • 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?

    Was war das teuerste/beste Werbegeschenk, dass ihr je erhalten habt?
  • 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

    Platz 2 ist ein Kulli in Form eines Flugzeugs bei dem man Flügel und Fahrwerk ausklappen kann.
