Bloated electron apps are what makes Linux on desktop viable today at all, but you guys aren’t ready for that conversation.

The Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.

Stamp collecting for criminals

Fun fact, plants emit ultrasonic clicks when stressed, from some kind of bubble cavitation in their cells when there’s no water. They do be screamin their leaves off, we just can’t hear it.

Oh yeah? Well this says otherwise.

Vim users: “I feel bad for you”

Nano users: “I don’t think about you at all”

That would be my bet, LLMs really gravitate towards playing along and continuing whatever’s already written. And Gemini especially has a 1M long context so it could be going back for a book’s worth of text and reinforcing it up the wazoo.

That said, there is something really unhinged about Google’s Gemma series even in short conversations and I see the big version is no better. Something’s not quite right with their RLHF dataset.

A forever war is David Bowie to the ears of the MIC. Infinite money glitch.

It’s 89.99 GBP.

Free shipping though.

You can update linux without having to reboot for the most part, windows reboots literally twice for every tiny patch.

It’s really funny when you have grub configured with linux as the default. Then when you select windows it’s 50% chance it’ll update something and reboot, booting you back to linux lmao. I guess they don’t really want me to use it.

If wget2 is so good, why is there no wget3?

LibreOffice has been updated? Interface still looks like it was designed for Windows 95.

I’m more of a wget kinda guy myself.

I think if we’re looking at it conceptually, it has to be something that is too complex to do with traditional heuristics reliably and also doesn’t allow us to generate enough data for good DL results.

There’s also liability to consider, for cases like airplanes and trains. Trains are dead simple to automate, but there needs to be someone there for long tail events, to make people feel safer, and as a fall guy in case of accidents. So in practice it’s impossible to automate beyond subways where you control the entire environment despite the tech being fully capable of it. Same goes for airliners, they practically fly themselves but you need two people there anyway just in case.

Reliability. We can do pretty much anything… with a 5% success rate. Deep learning can take any input, approximate any function and generate the required output, but it’s only as good as the training set and most of them suck. Or it needs to be so large and complex that it’s not fast enough.

Ubuntu Mate sounds like what they call regular Ubuntu in Australia.

That’s not Windows, that’s Oracle Solaris right there.

With gnome feeling dated in terms of design, Ubuntu has that early Passat energy imo lmao. Very round and generic, will probably get you where you want to go but the ride will be boring.
