Slap an LLM on those and call it a day

As a linux fan I just love all these changes Microsoft have been introducing

I’d really like an explanation here if the author is reading. And how does shipping cost scale with quantity? Can you get that to be small per unit on big orders?

It’s there. User Jun_Meng.

Nǐ hăo, xìe xìe Yuntian! I read the readme and paper but haven’t played around much yet. I find this fascinating and I don’t care much about poor “experience” because intuitively I feel this idea couldn’t produce something as reliable and flexible as a real OS anyway. I see you talked about inability to install new software and my reaction was “well obviously”, because surely it will be at least as limited as the training data, while a real OS provides lots of software of great complexity which is seldom used.

Could you talk about your hopes for the future on this project? What are your thoughts on having a more simplified interface which could combine inputs in a more abstract way, or are you only interested in simulating a traditional OS?

Thanks again.

PS the waiting time while firefox “loads” made me laugh. I presume this is also simulated.

Could you give a reference on this 97 rule? I’m intrigued.

Summary: we still don’t know why, but definitely don’t eat UPFs.

My assumption was something like environmental variables - how much a simple command like cat is listening to your computer

“That’s an odd name! I’d a called em fuzzwozzers.”

It certainly is a mainstay. A yearly treat which children love. In Ireland I was taught this song in school: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bhebvq0O4GY (and I still remember all the words)

The point you’re making is ridiculous though, because what Isaak has done is clearly an unusual accomplishment. You’re actually just making excuses for yourself, being too old to have the motivation. It’s a less helpful explanation than just plain curiosity - and that’s available to all age groups.

I agree. In the first example, you would assume the action completed even if you missed the toast. But in case you did notice it, that gives you a confirmation. Suboptimal? Maybe.

But the proposed solution is clearly worse, unless the loading circle turns into a tick to show completion

I’ve supported enterprise software for various big companies and I can tell you that most decision makers for DCs agree with this sentiment.

EMC had a system called Target Code which was typically the last patch in the second-last family. But only after it had been in use for some months and/or percentage of customer install base. It was common sense and customers loved it. You don’t want your storage to go down for unexpected changes.

Dell tried to change that to “latest is target” and customers weren’t convinced. Account managers sheepishly carried on an imitation of the old better system. Somehow from a PR point of view, it’s easier to cause new problems than let the known ones occur.

The article might have been better with fewer asterisks*

* This could just be the next sentence

I have been using Joplin for a couple of years, first for work and then for everything else.

I love that it’s formatted, but it’s also just text. I normally leave it in markdown mode and edit that directly (learn the syntax, it’s easy). To paste into email, documents etc, put it to display mode and it’ll paste html. Good.

@cimnine The key feature for me is global search (ctrl/cmd+p) but it doesn’t work well enough!! 1. it doesn’t favour exact matches and 2. it doesn’t jump to the match. I use vi-mode if that’s important.

Overall it’s excellent IMO. There are clients for all major platforms.

Hard to decide the appropriate level of outrage here. The authors seem to be aware of how chatGPT works and how this would produce inconsistent results and falsehoods, especially in languages with a smaller corpus. Still it sounds like they expect openAI to extend full parity of features to a language that has only 7m speakers and appears "much less often online." But I hope they do, for these people's benefit.

I was impressed with its performance in Irish but my expectations were much lower. Partly because in English it has given me nonsense code, and I think the poetry is terrible - only rhyming couplets (AABB rhyming).

I don't know the question that preceded it, but this kind of presumption of fallacy is not helpful and is akin to trolling: "Thinking that we are unique and special and privileged is arrogant [...] The correct approach is to be modest"

Maybe his opponents are not being arrogant, but simply didn't come to the same conclusion as him, based on honest assessment of the facts.

Nonetheless I must admit that I find Oumuamua very compelling as a candidate for alien technology; maybe I 30% believe it. Can't we just tone it down a bit? Yet another overly-polarised argument.

If they're less than 16 years old, they could easily be serious.

Ok so many people are commenting that this article is out of date. I've been searching for what the best out-of-the-box music Linux distro would be, so I can dual boot that for any music work. Namely it must have:

- jack set up and default for everything

- complete DAW solution: synth set up etc

- updated, stable software

- MIDI set up fully

- real time kernel is definitely a plus

- acceptable performance on modest hardware

A lot of the recommendations online like Musix are not current at all! I wonder if Ubuntu Studio is the answer, just purely based on the website being updated and professional-looking. I've considered KXstudio but cannot confirm that it is a distro rather than a software repo. AVLinux?

Any firsthand experience? I will test Ubuntu Studio today and report back

This configuration is commonly known as "lol jk".

Beat me to it.

GCC has not been beaten by GCC --> MSVC has not been beaten by GCC

ftfy

Anyone else read the title and think "these people" were bankers?

1.5 kilokilokilokilokilobytes, more commonly known as 1.5 kilomegagigamillibytes.

Yeah, it's just me. Didn't work on wifi at work or 4G, but does at home. Maybe they're lagging behind a CA update....

I'm getting HTTPS errors on two platforms (and two internet connections) for this website. It seems fairly ironic, but I guess it's just me. Am I doing something wrong?

IIDRN says it's up: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/torproject.org.html

Huh. I wonder if the author had seen this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q00OZ_Xk24w which describes a similar story and recommends a solution based on the same factors (2FA on a number no one knows under a fake name).

But anyway I don't understand why he thinks it's some kind of shocker that this makes it less secure. It's another access method. Recovery options are obviously attack vectors.

I personally don't use Mac OS(X), but what I understand is that Homebrew is a project designed to give the functionality of a Linux command-line package manager to OSX.

For most (all? Slackware...) Linux distributions, there is ONE package manager: for Debian/Ubuntu it's APT, for Arch it's Pacman, for RedHat & friends it's RPM, etc. There is exactly one, because all the files which aren't user data or configuration are owned by some package or other. It's all well and good when there's a clear need for this on OSX, and so Homebrew must keep up to date with the official software management and keep itself contained, not breaking anything. Having a second package manager on Linux, which doesn't treat Linux as the main target platform, seems both pointless and asking for trouble.

Alternatively, you could be harsh and figure that the downvoters were saying, "No, you don't prefer Homebrew. You prefer your distribution's package manager, and thou shalt use it correctly."

Why even ask...

They mention Unbuntu amongst the Chinese, too.

So if it's been de-Buntu'd, I guess it would be .... Debian?

It is very cringey though. It's no real indication of how much love went into it, and just comes across as an attempt to stand out and appeal to hipster impulses.
