A great example of what I’m talking about.

“Disagree? You’re a Nazi”

You’re cheapening the word and helping them become normalized.

The real problem is that there are crazy people who define anybody right of them as a Nazi.

But, we’re not ready to have that conversation yet

It’s a standard terms of service and a verbal “commitment” which isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I’m sure you’ll find the exact same wording on substack’s tos.

The problem is that what social media denizens call Nazi and what Ghost and substack call Nazi are all wildly different things.

New people don’t realize that Linux is really a soap opera with a small software project attached.

Let’s say such a change happens and at that time there’s a bit of time pressure and the capacity on the rust maintainers is thing for whatever reasons. Will they still happily swallow that change or will they start to discuss if it’s really necessary to do that change? And suddenly, the C-maintainer has a political discussion on top of the technical issue they wanted to solve.

This situation could occur even if the code using the API was written in C.

If an API change breaks other downstream kernel code, and that code can’t be fixed in time then they have a conversation about pushing the changes to the next build.

In the end, Linus has already chosen to accept the extra development overhead in using Rust. I think this situation was more about a maintainer, who happens to disagree with the Rust inclusion, using their position to create unnecessary friction for other maintainers.

No, you can’t find any copyrighted text inside the model’s weights.

In machine learning, that task is referred to as classification

I had all of these problems with Jellyfin and then I discovered Netflix (www.netflix.com/totallynotareferral)

The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.

!Arch - The Archlinux wiki, btw

Until you see companies selling liquid nitrogen generators, you’re not going to have to worry about anyone pushing quantum chips on the average consumer.

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service… but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

It prints in white text on a black background

sometimes nvidia drivers are in a state that breaks display reinit on wake from sleep

That happens so often that I’ve just bound a hotkey in Hyprland to poke my monitors config (toggling VRR off and on again) in order to force a mode change and wake up the display.

We got extended memory now! Bill gates doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The people:

No, it’s recognizing that tinkering means different things now.

In the 80s and 90s, if you were learning computers you had no choice but to understand how the physical machine worked and how software interacted with it. Understanding the operating system, and scripting was required for essentially any task that wasn’t in the narrow collection of tasks where there was commercial software. There was essentially one path (or a bunch of paths that were closely related to each other) for people interested in computers.

That just isn’t the case now. There are more options available and many (most?) of them are built on top of software that abstracts away the underlying complexity. Now, a person can use technology and never need to understand how it works. Smartphones are an excellent example of this. People learn to use iOS or Android without ever knowing how it works, they deal with the abstractions instead of the underlying bits that were used to create it.

For example, If you want to play games, you press a button in Steam and it installs. If you want to stream your gaming session to millions of people, you install OBS and enter your Twitch credentials. You don’t need to understand graphical pipelines, codecs, networking, load balancing, or worry about creating client-side applications for your users. Everything is already created for you.

There are more options available in technology and it is completely expected that people distribute themselves amongst those options.

I’ve noticed that a lot in newer users.

Even in technical fields, the users know how to use the software but they don’t understand anything under that. A lot of people got into computer via smartphones where you are essentially locked out of anything below the application layer.
