#nova

The initial nova-core driver stub was merged to #Linux mainline for #LinuxKernel 6.15[1].

#Nova is going to be a #kernel driver for #Nvidia's modern GPUs written in #Rustlang. It is the successor of the #Nouveau kernel driver and serve as base for drivers like #NVK.

The core driver stub is not really useful for anything yet. But that should change soon – and I guess will be the turning point that'll sell #Rust for Linux to the world. 🥳

So in T CrB system, both the red giant and the white dwarf can trigger nova events but can we talk about how the red giant is still standing (with the exception that it does not destroy the white dwarf)? 🤯 This is just mind-boggling.

"T CrB is actually even more special than that, because it is one of only 11 known "recurrent" novas, which are seen to go nova repeatedly, with gaps of less than 100 years between explosions."

I picked up this paperback of Samuel R. Delany’s “Nova” back in the early 2000s when I was attempting to read my way through David Pringle’s list of the 100 greatest science fiction novels (pre-1984), and I kinda want to revisit it. Despite Delany’s impeccable reputation I can’t help but picture STAR TREK Space Hippies when envisioning his cast. Would he mind? #1960s #Books #Nova #SamuelRDelany #ScienceFiction

📣 پروژه Nova جایگزین Nouveau خواهد شد.

🗣️ سال‌ها قبل FreeDesktop تصمیم گرفت با بازنویسی درایورهای گرافیک‌های انویدیا و انتشار آن به صورت آزاد، پروژه Nouveau (نوو) را آغار کند. اما اکنون تصمیم گرفته شده آن را با زبان Rust، تحت عنوان Nova منتشر کنند. البته نوا فقط محدود به گرافیک‌های سری RTX20 (تورینگ) به بعد است و مدل‌های قبلی را پشتیبانی نخواهد کرد.

💡 ظاهرا باید منتظر حضور Nova در لینوکس نسخه ۶.۱۵ باشیم.

NVIDIA still refuses open sourcing drivers - Red Hat has been developing open NOVA -driver for the Linux kernel ✅

NVIDIA drivers on Linux here is a co-op scenario:

◉Userland: Vulkan / OpenGL handling (these drivers wished be opened)
◉Kernel side: framebuffer / computations (these are open now)

NVK (Vulkan) is also progressing (part of Mesa) - eventually replacing Nouveau (the original open solution for NVIDIA).

Pues he estado en el salón del cómic de Valencia y me he traído esto a casa jejeje

Me gustaría colgar en mi habitación las láminas, pero no sé como. Les puedo comprar un marco? O alguien tiene alguna idea mejor?

Not all #ultraprocessed food (UPF) is linked to adverse #health outcomes, e.g. #plantbased meat & #dairy alternatives can be more beneficial than their animal-based counterparts and help lowering the dietary animal to plant #protein ratio. The concept of #UPFs paints with too broad a brush, is insufficiently nuanced to guide food purchasing decisions, and may distract #consumers from focusing on the importance of nutrient content: doi.org/10.1111/1750-3841.7003 #NOVA #nutrition #diets #milk #meat

We had a fantastic time at our #RepairCafe on Saturday! We had an enormous positive response, despite being open for only an hour, and it was amazing to talk to people in our community.

So we're kicking it up a notch - next month we'll be open for an hour and a half, we'll have more repair experts, and we'll be at a new place.

Meet us Sunday, March 2nd, 10:30am-12pm at Pohick Regional Library in Burke, VA.
