The last one was plain old dodgy rust code.

This OpenAI RAM buyout really was a “If we’re going down, we’re taking everyone with us” move.

The problem is PRs / CI tooling. They treat a repo as an independent project, but…:

• A change needs to be able to span multiple repos
• …or you need a way of expressing dependencies between changes in multiple repos
• …and you need to be able to block changes to dependencies that should be non-breaking but aren’t.

Zuul CI solved a lot of these kind of problems for the Openstack project but I’ve personally found it a bitch to setup. Lots of good ideas in it though.

In this thread… People arguing about multiple strawman definitions of Libertarianism.

My opinion is that it’s a useless term because nobody agrees on what it means.

So where are the regulators right now? Oh yes, they’ve all been completely gutted by the governments.

All the lights go out on mine when it overheats, and then there’s a puff of white smoke.

Unbounded capitalism is for sure.

I would say “AI” makes a good poster child for what to fight against. It embodies a lot of what’s wrong.

It’s good for optimisation problems, where you have a complex high-dimensional space to search and you’re solving for some measurable quality.

It’s already there for most of us. It only a few rich companies getting richer that’s making the line go up.

No advantage over Arch IMO.

If you want to play with it, setup a VM.

All your codebase belong to us!

Nvidia is less speculation that the other companies mixed up in this. They at least sell physical goods which they’ve been shipping.

Microsoft, Google, X, Meta - Oh boy!

The stat that’s going around at the moment is that 30% if the GDP is transactions between the “Magnificent 7”. That one is fair because it’s economic activity.

The underlying economy is in recession with the AI frosting on top pushing it to break even levels.

Do NOT make this a thing again!!!

…but what am I going to do while it’s compiling?

“We’re basically holding the planet together — and it’s not untrue.”

So he admits that it’s a bubble set to burst.

More fool you. There’s some damn good software in that list.

Conditioned to instantly fall asleep at the command-word “multipass”.

• It’s amazingly stable even though it’s a rolling release.
• Up to date.
• Maintained by many many knowledgeable people.
• Arch Wiki
• 99% of software you need is packaged, and then there’s AUR too.

That’s about it, but its my daily driver on desktop and laptop.

I certainly remember PS2 consoles being used like that. The cell processor was impressive.
