Your problem with the Linux community is that there’s a lot of options? I cannot understand how that’s a bad thing. If there was only one distro it would be the same as now, but with less diversity.

The reason this isn’t good enough is that it’s a shallow capitulation by a company still massively over invested in AI. Nobody believes Microsoft is actually going to give up on shoving AI down people’s throats, they’re just gonna be more subtle about it now.

Especially since 365 is a really stupid part of the name. What is with Microsoft and 360 numbers?

It’s sweet how much effort you’re putting into it. When I was a kid I built my first computer one piece at a time with money I saved from mowing lawns, there’s something so satisfying about earning a computer through dozens of shrewd bargains and months of dedicated labor. It’s all worth it in the end, you’ve got this!

El Salvador is literally running a death camp, they don’t plan to ever release the prisoners. They just keep them alive for free labor and to avoid the stigma of running a Holocaust; but Germany was the same at first, they only ramped up the death at the end of the war.

VLC definitely has evangelists, they have just become the dominant culture so you don’t really notice it. They don’t have an advertising budget, it got popular through word of mouth.

I think Linux enthusiasts appear more evangelical because of the deep entrenchment of Windows; you are noticing the push back and debate, whereas with VLC you just see people recommending it and people being grateful for the recommendation.

That’s one of the few silver linings of fascism, it always ends. It’s inherently unstable.

Nebula is just a better experience most cases too. It just shows you what you’re subscribed to in chronological order, which is how YouTube used to work when it was less annoying.

It also shares more revenue with creators and doesn’t force feed you ads. I really hope it continues to grow and never betrays its roots.

Gina got fired for something she did outside of her job. Jimmy got fired for doing the job he was hired to do, because a government official threatened his employer.

The first amendment is to protect against government censorship, it has no intention to protect you from public outcry. It should have protected Jimmy, but it’s irrelevant in the case of Gina.

Dropout?

This is the way

To some extent, yeah. I work in web development and there’s no shortage of opportunities for someone good at reactive front end development and JSON APIs. But I think there is a shortage of grads who have the necessary skills.

I’ve been trying to grow my business, and it’s frankly depressing how many people graduate with computer science degrees without learning the basics of the field, the volume of vibe coders is too damn high.

Nearly all of those can run just fine on-device. I think the part of the bubble that’s ripe to burst is the gigantic gigawatt data centers; we don’t even have the power to run them if all the ones under construction were completed. The current trajectory is not sustainable, and the more contact it has with reality the harder that will be to ignore.

Tl;Dr: he cut a phone in half and gave it a keyboard.

I love LibreOffice, but I wish there was an Android app. I’ve even considered learning more app development to try and help, but it’s such a daunting task.

I’ve been writing all my college papers in LaTeX and it’s been great. They look so professional, and it’s easier to work on a collection of text files than one monolithic document.

P cores give them better single core performance. But in parallel computing AMD has the advantage and has defended it for a long time now.

Why would you use a large language model to examine a biopsy?

These should be specialized models trained off structured data sets, not the unbridled chaos of an LLM. They’re both called “AI”, but they’re wildly different technologies.

It’s like criticizing a doctor for relying on an air conditioner to keep samples cool when I fact they used a freezer, simply because the mechanism of refrigeration is similar.

Yes they did. It says so in the article.

Yes, but also because they’re just better chips and you probably should have only been getting them to begin with. Way more power efficient, smaller process, less heat, easier to upgrade, better multi core performance, lower price; you just get a better CPU.

Reading comprehension is a skill. It seems like some people just glance at the words and make up what they expect to see. I have no idea how your comment could have been interpreted the way they did without a total disregard for the substance. Maybe they were reading it through an auto translation? Still, seems like the emoji is pretty obvious.
