And all the drivel that google's own search AI has been spewing comes from where? Or the incredible breadth of, often wrong, knowledge that ChatGPT can spew out in seconds, where does that comes from?

Maybe at some point they will try to create their own, very limited, "knowledge base" but then those AI assistants cease to be a jack of all trades, while still being masters of nothing.

I'm okay with compatibilist deterministic free will theories like those from dennet or tegmark.

Those say that free will is possible if a being establishes a computationally independent substrate and uses that to compute optimal choices for a self model.

This relative computational independence is the best we can hope for, and I believe the resulting freedom is strong enough to explain our subjective experiences of feeling like we're freely choosing. All we're doing is scoping out our possible actions, and picking one that lines up with our self models. And that matters because it's as free as we can be, and it improves our survival ability beyond than of a being with no protected internal model.

My real concern, if reality is just a bundle of all possible existence states threaded together, is that there might easily exist very scary and unpleasant states of existence, and it might be possible to subjectively encounter those states in a way that is terrifying and causes huge amounts of suffering.

The universe where things happen in different times and for clear physical reasons seems less likely to expose us to terrible irrational cosmic horror, compared to the random bundle of all possible chaotic states.

In the universe I'm proposing you might accidentally create a portal to a sub universe of hellish demonic entities. Those things exist already right now in parallel with you and they want to be where you are, like on a Rick and Morty episode!

I would honestly prefer to be in a less cosmically terrifying and alienating universe, if possible! Perhaps the universe is just very very big, but not a jumbled multiverse where everything is happening all at once.

Right, and for a gamer they may. But the average gamer is now more console than PC.

As a legacy gamer when of the age 20, I didn't care about the crap that Microsoft pushed upon. I just downloaded some rogue batch script, probably infecting myself with a trojan and just played games.

If only could someone switch to Linux! But there is no Linux. There is Debian, Fedora, Manjaro, Gnome, KDE, Sway, apt, yum, dnf etc. Especially when something is broken and you want to fix it that's the biggest hurdle as a new Linux user. Searching for forums, "how do I do X on Linux?" Oh I mean not Linux but Ubuntu. But MATE or LXQT? etc. It's a bottomless pit.

This fragmentation is biggest barrier against the wide adaptation of Linux. I mean Debian and Ubuntu and Arch and openSUSE and Gentoo and.

I see Linux as an idea. Or more like an umbrella of ideas that several OSes share. Which sounds good on paper but not enough for end users and for the 99.99% doesn't make any difference. At all.

The only thing I personally I recommend to friends who switch to Linux is to use an immutable distro because those are the most breakage resistant ones. Fedora Kinoite or Silverblue are nice. But then we will have Ubuntu Core Desktop soon as well. And other distros. So the wheel of fragmentation rolls forward.
Star Citizen is another one recently moving to Vulkan, they just rolled it out as a graphics option in 3.23, and it's slated to replace DX11 once it's working well

> Vulkan Renderer has now been enabled in Star Citizen. This new renderer will be off by default but has been added to the Graphics settings menu. In this first release, the focus is on hardware/driver issues, stability, and any major performance issues. At this point we do not expect Vulkan to be outperforming D3D11 on the CPU usage due to the fact we haven't enabled multi-threading of the rendering submission yet, but do expect CPU performance to be within a 30% margin. Once we have multi-threading enabled we expect a significant net-gain. On the GPU side we should be closer to parity.

> Performance improvements and stability improvements will be on-going throughout 3.23, with the aim to make Vulkan the default and more performant implementation in a following release. In the meantime we appreciate any and all feedback towards this.

> Additionally, you may see a few new folders now in Star Citizen's appdata. These relate to our new Graphics Settings file (just includes the Graphics Renderer setting for now), Vulkan's Shader Cache, and Vulkan's Pipeline Cache.

> We are currently working with AMD and Nvidia to improve functionality and compatibility for later Driver Releases. It is recommended that you update to the latest GPU drivers for this release but there are still a few known issues that could cause instability and crashes with Vulkan until a later AMD/Nvidia Driver update. If you run into major issues you may want to swap back to DX 11. If the game crashes on launch after switching to Vulkan, you can reset this by deleting your shader folders in %localappdata%\Star Citizen

This is kind of an outdated argument and nearly a solved problem - the majority of Steam's library can be run near-effortlessly on Linux today. I'd expect a large portion of Windows PC gamers to be aware of that, too, at least in the US. I don't really know anyone who's tied to any Windows-specific apps that aren't games, either.

You mean imagine forgetting everything because you don't need to remember anything since that is done by your personal agent - until the battery is dead, the model crashes, your neurocannula gets clogged, an EMP takes out your memory module or an update accidentally wipes your life.

Dear Mr. Poisonborz,

During a routine update of your MegaMind Ti666GX module a mishap occurred which wiped the module and its cloud backup clean.

I agree, I’m just noting it isn’t a distinction between the two.
Interestingly, the AGPL has been something of a "boogey-man" to some commercial entities, going back 20+ years now. The GPL too, albeit to a lesser extent. Anyway, this may well be a great opportunity for a firm who bothers to look a bit deeper and say "OK, maybe the AGPL isn't something to be scared of after all". Just comply with the terms and "no harm, no foul".

Please stop suggesting this in such a definitive way. You’re not a doctor, more importantly you’re not a GI doctor, and most importantly you’re not their GI doctor.

There is currently zero credible research that shows a carnivore/keto diet will reduce inflammation in patients with IBD. The Mediterranean diet has some research showing potential improvement in patients, so if anything, suggest they talk to their doctor about that one. But don’t position it as a cure. There is currently no cure for IBD.

This is an extremely complicated disease and recommending that people try “cures” you heard about on podcasts is not helpful and potentially dangerous. It’s the same line of thinking that lead to people eating horse paste to cure their COVID.

The best thing someone with IBD can do is to find a good GI specialist that they trust and feel comfortable discussing potential medications and lifestyle adjustments with. Then when someone online recommends ”cures” like carnivore diet, they can take it to their doctor and discuss whether or not it might be worth trying given their specific medical circumstances.

> […] Windows-specific apps that they use, such as games.

As if many Windows games don't work on Linux via proton, to the point that Valve's Steam Deck runs on Linux and is "good enough" most of the time. Compatibility purely depends on the game and more often than not incompatibilities are caused by anti-cheat mechanisms.

And about jumping to Linux: we had Windows computers in my family, originally with Windows 7, then upgraded to Windows 8.1, and once 8.1 was EOL, they were reinstalled with Linux (KDE as desktop environment). Since these computers were mainly used for email, web browsing, and some basic "office activities" like writing a simple document occasionally, there was exactly no issue with it. KDE itself is also similar enough to a Windows desktop that it wasn't hard for anyone to learn the few relevant things that are different. I'd be quite surprised if this was different for the majority of current Windows users.
TFA goes into this a little

> The samples in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United States can be taken as representative of these countries' general adult population under the age of 75.

> Due to the fact that the vast majority of the data was collected via Ipsos' online panels (India being the only exception, in which 1,800 were interviewed face-to-face and 400 were interviewed online), participation tends to consist of those who have access to the necessary technology. The samples in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Uganda are more urban, more educated and/or more affluent than the general population. While not nationally representative, the survey results for these countries provide a useful and unique indication of the direction of public opinion.

Ipsos is fairly reputable in the field, FWIW.
> Kind of sucks to be assumed that people with my views would have the idea that males should suffer in silence.

Your only friends are women and you would feel conversations about your feelings and emotions would be inappropriate with other men

So what do you think men who only have male friends do?

They suffer in silence

You may not feel like they "should" suffer in silence, but your beliefs are such that if you didn't have your close female friends who you spoke with, you would be doing exactly that

Anyways, I'm likely further right than you. I have more male friends than female friends, and I don't think it's inappropriate to talk about your feelings with other men.

So, would someone war-game this out for me?

A.) This is an accurate piece of information,
1.) ...and either the F-16 is so obsolete that we don't keep adequate
training materials around anymore.
--or--
2.) ...this is really a top-secret national security clearance breach,
since it would be pretty sad state of affairs that we couldn't train
up a lot of pilots quickly in the event that the U.S. was in a war.
--or--
3.) ...we are half-assing it in the attempt at avoiding a wider war with
Russia.
4.) ...the F-16 is so advanced, and Ukrainian pilots are so under-trained,
that it is taking significantly longer than usual. (Also maybe because
of language barriers, or the U.S. trainers have to be extra careful to
not disclose the "best" features that U.S. F-16's have, that those abroad
don't have.
5.) ...can't rule out a combination of all of the above.
6.) other?

B.) This is some sort of false information
1.) ...to throw Russia off, and we are really training up lots of
Ukrainian pilots.
2.) ...to keep our pilot training capabilities secret.
3.) ...to appear disorganized, in the hopes that it delays a potential
Chinese invasion of Taiwan (since American's are so inept
that they don't think they have to move with haste).

2) the clickable suggestions on the lock screen, carefully positioned in the click-space where the password box will be.

Also tbh, I strongly prefer your query strategy; it doesn’t require I remember an entire grammar, just a few keywords (‘size’ etc) which are probably at the top of your man page. If a replacement for ‘find’ - which annoys me because I have to dig through the man page anytime I do something nontrivial- forces me to dig through their man page to remember a grammar … you catch my drift.
Hope you keep keepin on, and thanks.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter; stereotyping here, you've got two groups.

Those who know about it, and don't care and those who don't know but do care.

Those who do live in the world of part time computer usage. They check their facebook, shop amazon, grocery shop. But are the "I've got nothing to hide, so what does it matter" category.

And those who are concerned for it are unable to embrace the difference. As like teaching an old dog new tricks. By all means they can, and they want to change. The learning curve is however too steep.

What they have learnt is what they can handle. They don't the same time to learn as the younger audience does. My mother wants the internet to look up patterns of leaves so she can lino print not wanting to diagnose why systemd hangs at night when she turns off her computer.

If you take an existing install of Linux

First of all, who is the one going to give them a USB key and let them install the OS? Burning an ISO is tricky enough for anyone. Google usb iso burner and you get swamped by download promiscuous download sites. My father doesn't know about Rufus, my mother doesn't know about DD.

And this is where Windows and OSX leaps ahead. They come pre-installed, press the power button and your good to go.

Back to Linux you then have to run some chonky installer. Ubuntu's installer is astrocious in requiring to be connected to the internet. You then have to hope that the drivers work.

Compatibility is better than how it used to be but with OEM computers it can be easily sabotaged by the vendor and then on top of that the decision of the Window Manager and hope they like.

It's not an easy change.
