Personally I feel like Anthropic is underrepresented in "normie" marketing, all of my non-tech savy friends only know of ChatGPT and use "ChatGPT" in the same way my mom says "Nintendo" when talking about game consoles

Is it really all that different from "deep mind beat Gary Kasparov"?

If this told me anything it's that most of the world falls within 5 point difference, guess we're doing good

Yes, right now it would be obsolete in six months, but I also must add that this never stopped crypto miners from making new ASICs. However, with how useful Kimi is right now - at some point if someone makes a dedicated hardware board with "good enough" model for daily tasks - that would be a very sought after commodity.

Speaking of ASICs - how likely is it that as models get better we'll see someone baking a whole model directly into the silicon? It's like having l0 cache.

Good thing they're not selling a printer then, they're selling a parts kit that you have to flash an open source controller firmware to and assemble yourself. Or you may just source them in any way you want. You can't really "outlaw" open source, we had this whole song and dance with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th...

No, they use AppGallery and HMS.

This would be the line for me. If at some point I'm unable to build an .apk and install it on my phone without Google letting me, I'm moving to Huawei.

I swear, the more time goes on, the more I disrespect the "no to systemd crowd", not because they don't have valid arguments, but because in recent years it attracted a very *specific* kind of audience, and now it smells bad.

I've used Linux for over 20 years at this point, my first Linux computer was a PS2 console and my second one was a PS3 console. I remember the rc scripts and upstart, and I hated dealing with any of it, systemd, its timers and the user units were the most convinient change in decades. I hear so many anecdotal accounts of "sytemd destroying someone's system", yet personally it was nothing but a pleasant experience.

I think there's always needs to be an alternative, and I welcome anyone who's actually building alternative code paths and doing the work to create the alternative tools, but every time some tool gains a dependency on systemd to improve the functionality and the mob comes in complaining I can't help but get angry. It's open source. You can patch it. You can switch to something else, but instead you hurl insults at people volunteering their time to make software you run better.

Exactly. They scraped the internet we all of us built with our own research, open source work, sharing, etc. I'm never going to agree that they own their models.

Can't say I agree. When I used to rent I lived in the same apartment for 3 years, and not a single thing changed about it.

And that's what you should do, since you're forcing the protocol update you should take the opportunity that might not come later

They need it hoard datasets.

I also use ArchWiki as my personal software configuration journal. I know I'll be back to it when I'm going to have to re-install or re-configure something, so I make sure to record any new info I discover, worked out super well for me so far.

For mobile, you can use FluffyChat, it's another Matrix app

I haven't touched XMPP for over 10 years, how's screen sharing and file sharing over XMPP doing?

Steam takes 30%, other stores take 10-20%

I mean... isn't that just X11 light compositor (like IceWM) with binfmt enabled?

After living in Italy for a few years - if you're doing worse than Italy with your train schedule it's time to reflect hard.

Ok, let's see - yuan isn't a freely traded currency, it's heavily regulated by China. From that alone it can not be used a reserve currency by anyone - unless they want to hand over all control over their assets to CCP.

The rupee is better, but there's not a lot of trust in Indian institutions globally, so black swan events are more likely. I can see it becoming a better proposition as India further matures and taps into its population more.

No, euro - that's a solid contender. Not only it's already used in a lot of countries, and therefore backed by more than one economy, the EU institutions are legit to a fault - they continuously refuse to seize Russian assets, because there's no solid legal grounds for it, despite all political will towards doing so.

That alone makes it far removed from being politically suspect in my book, unless there's some blatant case against the euro that I'm missing.

Probably not, that would significantly lower the training data quality for any future models

Happened a lot in browsers.

The xdg-desktop-portal stuff is still too immature. For example, my friend wanted my help after upgrading his Pop_OS to 24.04, and 24.04 replaced GNOME with COSMIC. COSMI had no RemoteDesktop portal (and still doesn't have it), so we couldn't use RustDesk like we always did without him installing a GNOME session just for that.

I've been an i3 user for almost two decades, but eventually switched to Sway - to this day there's no InputCapture portal, so I can't use Synergy with Sway, forcing me to switch to i3 while I'm working.

It's been over 10 years of things like that. There's always SOMETHING missing.

SATA SSDs have one advantage though - their size. You don't see m.2 form factor SSDs going well over 8TBs, but for a larger SATA drive you can find >8TBs easily. Samsung had the best offering for this recently - Samsung SSD 870 QVO The enterprise world has U2, but us plebs don't really have a comparable alternative.

Yeah, I can't really speak well about other languages, but these Armenian letters look really rough.

No, for the resulting open drivers to not be legally dubious the spec can only be obtained by doing a clean-room reverse engineering.
