Levitating

ChatGPT is a private paid service. Don't you think it's good that your government provides this independently and for free?

What a doomer way of thinking. Scientific advancements has positively improved the lifes of people in the past I don't see how scientific advancements accelerated by AI would be any different.

Windows isn't where it's at either.

Desktop computing is just in a bad state.

And I agree, Linux Mints DE (Cinnamon) is very user-friendly!

Is Linux where it's at?

Maybe with the rise of immutable distributions like SteamOS, Bazzite, GnomeOS and KDELinux.

But the other "user-friendly" distributions are just not good enough for a non-techy.

We need better and more A/B partitioned immutable distributions and we need a new implementation of Flatpak.

I recently had to repair my parents their Linux Mint installation because it powered off during an upgrade. Apt does not handle that well, Linux Mint has no snapshotting, you cannot apt autoconfigure -a through the UI. Also the UI does not explain why the machine is getting hot while it's building dkms modules for an hour.

Just this week I saw someone with Fedora get a buggy graphics driver that made the whole system glitchy, they had to downgrade the kernel.

The week before I had to repair a manjaro installation from a friend because getting nvidia to work on ArchLinux isn't trivial even if Manjaro pretends it to be.

To be frank, desktop linux is still in a pretty bad state.

I've seen people in #freebsd attack GPL like it was thought up by satan.

That's the problem with BSD, the community holds a large amount of radical ideologies that led them to BSD. Like a deep hatred for systemd or the GPL.

Not the core developers though, just the community surrounding them.

Are there any operating systems that work like this?

How do they find the time while simultaneously researching massive spywar scandals, dram cartels and gpu black markets.

Some of these charts are made using rrdtool:

rrdtool is still used widely today by projects like Munin, LibreNMS and Collectd.

> even though 2,977 people died while 42,116 died from car accidents that same year

I have trouble understanding your logic. A lot of trouble is made to prevent car accidents. We require driving licenses, we develop whole categories of law and do plenty of research to make driving safer.

To be fair, even before LLMs could spot my bugs in an instant I really only regularly used debuggers in C because it can't display arbitrary types in debug print statements.

> Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable?

So even Bill Gates believed Windows wasn't usable in 2003. Yikes.

I am convinced. Is there any project implementing or proposing this?

> at least in crypto there is a token you can sell

That would defeat the purpose. The goal is to make scraping costly, not profitable.

The link died, but it's a cut-down PS5 APU previously sold for crypto mining apparently.

That you can do complicated things with it does not make it complicated.

> We need simpler protocols and formats

But we do! It doesn't get much simpler than HTML/CSS/JS. It's just abused to make apps instead of web documents.

European passports are NFC tags and you can prove your identity using your phone.

You can still find honest companies providing correctly priced services. Purelymail.com handles my email. There are many VPS hostars, cloud storage providers etc with honest pricing.

I love the spectrum. They are quite repairable and even upgradable machines. I was literally able to buy a new ram chip at my local electronics store.

Title is taken from the reuters coverage[1], but I used the link to the original epa.gov press release.

I wonder if AI companies already have a good way of filtering out these generated sites, or if the internet has just become worthless for training.

It's also not a trivial problem. Rust supports a few dozen more platforms than CPython.[1][2]

> it seems that the reason for Rust not having an API to get a stream of random bytes from the OS

This is already in nightly[1]. I don't see what "getting money in peoples pockets" has to do with its stabilization.

"...uncovered the graves of nine skeletons dated to the early 1300s. Five, including Skeleton 150, dated to the 1300s."

That seems like a contradiction.

How much good data can you get out of twitch?

That's not my experience

> The name was registered in 2009 because it was the shortest URL possible: a zero, a dot, two letters. Seventeen years later the zero means something else.

Did the zero ever mean anything? It's still a 3 character domain regardless if the first character is a zero.

But we don't all use Facebook, Facebook found its niche of tech-illiterate people to abuse.

The population is a wide demographic and it would be nice if companies didn't try to exploit parts of it.

Meta could help the situation, for instance by providing fact-checking tools and banning rage-bait creators.

Instead they have removed those tools and are paying these creators. So it's not just consumers to blame here.
