I wouldn't quite say I went so far to think it was a toxic bro-club, but I certainly did not give resistance training the consideration I should have until this past year.

If I could make a single change in my life 20 years ago, it would be getting into a gym habit. I tried back then, but had both horrible trainers (the "puke and rally" bro type) and friends who didn't have a clue about what they were doing. It all seemed pointless to me unless immense effort was put in. I also worked landscape and came from a blue collar family background where working out was seen as a sign of bougieness - who needs to pay to go work out if you work hard all day?

But this year (at age 42) I got a personal trainer at a local gym and started going once a week. She is great, and matches my personality and style to the workouts. I never realized how quickly and easily you can start seeing results - and that feedback loop can be quite addictive.

I can't say I look forward to going into the gym now, but I at least don't dread it. Once I'm there and halfway through my routine I'm quite happy I went, and it really does impact your mood and emotional state probably much more than I even want to admit as I type this. It's hard to realize you went through most of your life ignoring such a major component of success - basically playing life on hard mode for no particular reason.

The gym is also interesting in that you can be having a real shitty unproductive day - but you go in and get your routine done - and you can still feel accomplished. Bad week at work? At least you still got your 3 workouts in and are 2% stronger than last month.
In this movie

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorm_(1983_film)

a researcher builds a device that can record and play back experiences which takes up most of a room, in a meeting with his boss, he receives some secret microchips made of a room temperature superconductor that he uses to make headsets.
While neat, this does not align with what I consider readable code. Outside of an IDE, this code can be quite hard to follow when you start to introduce tricks like these, especially since it's not paradigm in other languages.

Is it? I just asked a question completely in earnest and it seemed to ruffle a few feathers. I thought Trump was the world's problem the last time I checked, oh, every media outlet.
You assume the US and EU would be starting at zero.
What interface/ui/app are you using on top of mixtral for document analysis?
> Personally, I don't think I'll be changing over anytime soon

Maybe, maybe not. There are at least two forces at work on this issue:

1. Nvidia themselves, who are collaborating with the Wayland project to improve compatibility with their driver (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...)

2. The new "NVK" open source Nvidia driver, which (unlike Nvidia's proprietary driver) can work perfectly on Wayland without changing Wayland (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/tree/main/src/nou...)

I'm not sure if (1) will fix every Nvidia/Wayland bug that exists right now, but (2) will definitely be able to reach perfect Wayland compatibility faster without sacrificing performance like the original nouveau driver.
How can you write that a system based on human judgement leads to leniency as often as harshness and call that good? That sounds like the definition of unfair bias.
What's impressive to me is how long Microsoft has been playing defence against the Linux Desktop successfully - they were doing this back in the 90s.
Music (as a whole, and in an absolute sense) can only be good subjectively. Competency with an instrument or technique can be objectively evaluated, as can whether a piece has mainstream appeal (given some ultimately arbitrary criteria), or if it conforms to the expectations and tropes of a particular genre.

Maybe a more useful way to frame it would be that you haven't come across a live coding performance that you enjoyed or that you found pleasing?
While generally a reasonable piece, I don't see _why_ Flopsy Bunny's world can't slide into a horrible dystopia in the sequel.

I've learned to take the Steam hardware results with a grain of salt, sometimes they're stable, but then some months they vary wildly.

> This is less and less the case. IP protection in China has been improving for years.

Not only are there persistent allegations of state-organized economic espionage and theft of intellectual property in violation of international trade agreements, it is not just limited to business. Academia and government also.

Chinese firms have been able to spend more on production, undercutting competitors, by skipping costly R&D because of IP theft.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_intellectual_pr...

In July, the OECD halted publication of China's science statistics citing "anomalies". Source: https://sciencebusiness.net/news/international-news/puzzle-s...

These anomalous statistics give us a small and partial peek into how much China claims to be spending on R&D vs. actual. There could be multiple interpretations of the anomalous R&D statistics, but it would be consistent with the allegations that China's explicit strategy is to steal IP to bolster local companies so that they can compete on the global scale.
Linux has hit 100% desktop user share at my place about 10 years ago. It's definitely happening.
We're in the odd situation where AMD cards are vastly superior for gamers in dollar/performance terms.

I'm on the market for a AI work station and I'm honestly thinking of doing a amd/nvidia split so I can have the graphics just work and the AI also just work.
Surprised that macOS is gaining more than Linux. For some reason, I imagine there are more Steam Deck sales (Linux) than there are macOS users deciding to download Steam but maybe it's a numbers game.
Tesla new car registrations in Sweden rose 9% in Dec
It can be done like https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/ has.
None of it.

These are web browsing statistics. Basically nobody does significant amounts of browsing from a Steam Deck.

But even if they did, the install base of the Steam Deck is far too small to move the needle here. The install base of desktop and laptop computers is billions of devices vs. millions for the Steam Deck.

Using and advocating the use of Firefox, and objecting to this Mozilla leadership situation are two different things.

why not ada? Sure rust didn't exist when linux was first being built, but ada did and had a number of memory safety features. (not the same as rust's, but still better than C)
> Trying to appeal to some higher ideal of "free market" between countries is just silly

Tell that to the US and Americans that don't shut up about it any time a country other than theirs does something even vaguely protectionist. It will never not be funny that Boeing pushed Bombardier over the edge with protectionist tariffs over state subsidies while simultaneously suing Airbus for getting state subsidies while simultaneously getting billions of state subsidies themselves.

I can definitely understand your point, because there's a lot of press right now that is repeating this line.

Your first claim is that it was RNLI (which is a charity btw) taxiing migrants, which has some decent counterfactual evidence citing first-party sources: https://theferret.scot/claim-nigel-farage-about-rnli-taxi-se...

The second claim is that it's the french escorting people across the channel, there was only one incident that invoked this which was the french navy chasing a small boat into english waters under low visibility, the ire was caught because the french naval vessel requested that a British ferry make way for the naval vessel which cleared a path for the dinghy full of migrants. - as usual, a sprinkle of truth and Farage will parrot it on GB news and the murdoch media will fan the flames as much as possible.

Hate peddlers the lot of them, and all in an attempt to make you scared, scared and fearful so you vote on emotion and not on information. And it's working.

I think it's interesting that there is that many people still on it.

Mainstream end of life was almost a decade ago, Steam dropped support for it, etc. Is there anything that actually still supports 7?
Waiting on Tests
Great to see that Greg Kroah-Hartman dedicated a whole article to answering my questions. Thanks!
Yeah, I do not know why OP would imply that. The brain does actually parse. In terms of language processing, the term "parse" may refer to the mental process of syntactic analysis, in which case the brain analyzes the grammatical structure of a sentence to comprehend its meaning. Besides that, there is auditory parsing of sound patterns, along with visual parsing of visual scenes to recognize objects, shapes, and patterns.

Sure, the brain does not follow the same principles of formal grammars used in computer science, but I think the term "parsing" still applies.

They have already proved time and time again to be able to make gigantic leaps, some of those, completely on their own in the sector.

Pouring billions in the sector highly increases the chances of breakthrough technologies.

I personally think more competition in the space is good for everyone, albeit I'm not a fan of those trade wars, they accomplish little at the end of the day and they are funded with a lot of our taxes, we talking hundreds of euros/dollars per citizen for many years to subsidize this trade war we have little to gain from.

China will still get ASML equipment eventually if they will really want to by buying it from intermediate sources that may hide the operation for the right amount of $. China will be further motivated to reverse engineer the solutions and not share their own advancements in the sector if accomplished.

You first need to port drivers for your -specific- network and io chipset. And if you want adoption and performance you also need the manufacturer on board. My guess is not quite soon.
AUKUS is about more than submarines -- that just happened to be the bit that hit the news.

However, with unofficial 40% youth unemployment rate and 10k chip companies shutting down in 2023 https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/chi..., where would these graduates actually work? realistic answer is that they're right now delivering food or driving didi. or laying flat doing nothing.
Shouldn't your distro know that yours is a Nvidia card, and make the necessary to avoid that you boot into a black screen after upgrading your system using the standard procedure?
Yes. This was the primary motivation for me to lose weight last year. Health is a close second, but it's a much more delayed gratification thing vs. seeing the immediate social benefits just 6mo later.

Going from morbidly obese to the mid-range of the normal weight BMI chart in about 6mo time has been absolutely eye opening for me.

It's less about sex than it is about appeal. I don't care so much about being desirable to the opposite sex these days - but the impact of being considered conventionally attractive in pretty much all social contexts is profound.

There certainly is an impact from self confidence, but it cannot explain the whole difference. Humans simply treat people they find attractive differently than those they do not.
It's very interesting to me that Arch Linux is reportedly the most popular distro among Steam users. I wonder if that's actually accurate, or if people who use other distros are more likely to decline the survey for privacy reasons, and people who use Arch like sharing because of the "I use Arch BTW" meme

Edit: SteamOS != Arch Linux[0]

A user brought this up in the Taligent thread[1], and it occurred to me that the "Osborne Effect" might be worthy of its own discussion.

It's especially interesting what @smackeyacky said about "using the Osborne Effect as a weapon against competitors" when the Osborne Effect is usually conceptualized as a mistake that companies make against themselves.

I'm in the process of releasing my first book, with O'Reilly, this year (https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/unifying-business-...). I didn't do it for the money (but for the recognition), but I'm very interested to know how it will economically fare.
I'm exploring what would be the safeguards against this. I'm not trying to convince you, rather I'm seeking out other people to convince me of why this wouldn't be the case.

Pineapple on pizza wouldn't profit them, so it's easy to see why they wouldn't go that route. What's more, it wouldn't affect me personally.

Now if we consider that 1) they are capable, and they have done similar things in the past 2) there is a mental health epidemic 3) this could affect you and me personally, then isn't it reasonable to spread awareness about this, rather than sweep it under the table until some big revelation comes as evidence?

For example, if there was a constant healthy discussion about how online rage was not only a problem on a personal level, but could be leveraged to sway an entire country's political compass before it happened, would it perhaps not have had a positive change?

This is the mindset I'm coming from, not fear mongering.

Griffin was a Musk extension. Little Griffin said was even worth listening to (IMO). Being the head of NASA doesn't actually mean that much, lot of mandates from somewhere (often unfunded). Working at NASA you just watched it get sold. Quite a pig with lipstick, angry grandma would be proud.

> In early 2002 he met entrepreneur Elon Musk and accompanied him on a trip to Russia where they attempted to purchase ICBMs.

> Musk offered Griffin the title of Chief Engineer of SpaceX.

Made admin in 2005, gave Musk $3,500,000,000 in 2008 after a bunch of protests. Its all totally rigged up in that realm.

Also, massive injury rates at SpaceX reported by Reuters in 2023 that were very obviously covered up. In 2016, 21/100 workers sustain injuries at the KSC site. 6x industry average. Worker injury reporting vanishes for a half decade afterward.

> Many were serious or disabling: 100 workers suffering cuts or lacerations, 29 with broken bones or dislocations, 17 whose hands or fingers were “crushed,” and 9 with head injuries, including 1 skull fracture, 4 concussions and 1 traumatic brain injury. The cases also included 5 burns, 5 electrocutions, 8 amputations, 12 unspecified body part injuries, and 7 workers with eye injuries. Also, death and comas.

Really appreciate you sharing your perspective. I recently wrote a book as a passion project and have been sitting anxiously on a contract. I'm not concerned about the money (I don't think my book will be a huge thing). My main motivation for going trad is the credibility as you somewhat alluded to. Do you think this is misguided on my part? Basically just so I can point at it in the future and say "a professional in the industry thought my book was worth printing with their name on it"

This kind of highlights the motornormativity bias.

People are likely to say "I was late as I'd dropped my mug" and probably less likely to say "I was late as I drove into a car in front of me" rather than the more common "I was late as I was in a car accident". Note that the use of the verb (dropped/drove) carries the implication of being active in the situation whereas saying something like "my car hit the vehicle in front" or "I was in a car accident" is reducing the role of the person.

Not really. People don't care about libre software, they care about software that works, is supported, and they don't have to think about it. The Linux desktop appeals to developers and hackers, so 4% is probably the best they're ever going to do.

On the flip side, look how much Microsoft is losing to Linux in the server space. Consumers don't care what servers their favorite sites and services are running on: they don't have to manage it.
> There are a lot of companies producing generic drugs. Teva alone sold $9B worth in 2021.

Yes! Note though that I'm not claiming a company cannot make money from producing generics.

But the question remains: why isn't some generic drug company then producing and making a killing (because they could underprice) in the insulin market? I think my original argument is the most likely reason, but I'm open to a stronger argument.
I think you're missing the connecting lines here: with the Steam Deck, Valve made significant investments into WINE emulation and Proton development and all of those dependencies needed for its product that are also applicable to desktop. That convinced a lot of people who were using Windows just for gaming to make the switch, and they all browse the web. I'd argue those types are most of the new users we've seen coming to Linux in the last few years even - and I'd attribute all of it to Valve.
> Should they be banned too or is communism less directly associated with mass killing and is more in the legitimate ideology territory?

Yes, I think so. It is possible (and, I mean, even basically the default) to be an ideologically consistent communist without any interest in mass killing; that's far more difficult for literal Nazis.

> Historically as practiced communism has involved mass murder of class enemies for political reasons.

I mean, to some extent, what ideology _hasn't_? It's not a core and necessary component of most ideologies, though.
