Not to mention the Mythos red team report claims, even at the currently subsidized inference prices, it cost over $20,000 to find that OpenBSD bug

My project manager says nine women would have a baby in 2 weeks

V8.40 => V8.40 🤔

Or just git push origin --force blank:main

Wait. So the flaw was in uutils, and this article reported it as a systemd bug…?

Debian on my personal computers and servers.

Ubuntu on my work desktop, RHEL on work’s servers

I wouldn’t consider Debian “Canonical”-y, it’s just what they happened to pick as their upstream.

I tried some of the atomic distros, but ran into too many problems. When I buy a new computer, I sometimes have to run Opensuse Tumbleweed or Arch to get new enough hardware support… Too lazy to rebuild my kernel and mesa at home

It’s perfect for what my sister in law needs, but it’s not something I would generally recommend

She really just needs a real operating system for her phone for school

We will consider a used M1/M2 used, but I would expect Apple to stop supporting those sooner than the Neo

I’m not a lyricist, but this is at least closer…

Who works for a place that licks AI’s taint

I’m confused… Cursor? Surely you control everything via keyboard?

Just need to use less obvious insults, a la, “your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries”

Still poisons the model with something an end user won’t like, but isn’t easy enough to train out

The software manager they’re using already looks like GNOME 3+

As bad as people are, something like a Tesla is much worse

And something like a Waymo costs $250,000+ which is… Hard to swallow

I’ve heard Windows ME bad, but I’ve almost never heard someone call Windows 2000 bad

Why do people keep referencing this like it was merged…

It was specifically rejected

You need an equivalent of ACPI in the x86 space to catch on in ARM/RISC-V if you want a general purpose OS to be viable on phones

There’s sort-of kind-of SystemReady in ARM but it’s a far cry from the standardization of ACPI on x86 desktops

Maybe to help, you can see where you’ve enabled “repositories” that APT can download from in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d

As long as you haven’t manually installed a .dpkg package, or manually modified it, they should be something like

deb.debian.org security.debian.org

Some things like Slack may try to add their own repositories down there

When you type “sudo apt install” it is allowed to install from any configured repos down there

You have to convince investors why your AI research won’t hit a wall like LLMs are now - they’ve poisoned the term “AI”

They’re a dead end, insofar as they do all they’ll ever be able to; if you can find use for them at their current level, great, but it does not look likely they will be able to do more than they currently can

LLMs are a dead end, and the massive amounts of money being wasted on them will make people too scared to invest in other forms of AI.

So we are currently at a local maxima that we won’t overcome in 10 years. It will take much longer before we try a different approach to create “AGI,” and the wasted money on LLMs will slow other forms of AI research, leaving us stagnating for >10 years

Qualcomm and most phone manufacturers try extremely hard to make sure you can’t run your own operating system on their hardware.

A bug in their security preventing you from installing your own operating system has been found on a specific Qualcomm chip - the Snapdragon 8 gen 5, which, at least for some Xiaomi phones, lets programmers load their own versions on the devices

The last time we tried using them, the computer came with Windows 98…

They were horrible back then, not really sure how they are still in business.
