Sounds like he should have left the podium in handcuffs.

The distribution is fine, maybe even good.

The politicking and project management around the distro has annoyed a lot of people.

Never forget.

I mean… how can you forget that tune?

…and Godsuuuukiiiii.

Up from the deep. 30 storeys high. Breathing fire, His head in the sky! …

Otto Frisch is better known these days because he went on to work on the Manhatten Project. He appeared as a character in Oppenheimer.

They’re the same dude

It doesn’t hide. It makes them happen first and, here’s the important bit, closes their scope quickly.

Yes. That’s research. Sometimes you don’t achieve what you set out to do.

Yeah. My theory is that the AMD GPU driver has swapped out too much to main memory from VRAM because anything with high VRAM usage seems to cause it.

I’m on an RX7600.

Well his comments about others ring of collective responsibility, but I would say when he’s talking about his own brief he’s speaking in a much better tone than other cabinet ministers.

Flickering how?

Does the contents of the image change? Does it move? Do the monitors lose signal? Is there a rhythm / pattern to it? Does it flicker when you do something (e.g. move the mouse)?

Mine sometimes flicker when Chrome is loaded. When it happens part of the screen gets corrupted, and updates to the screen (e.g. moving windows) tend to make it happen. The monitors stay locked the whole time, but it will only effect one of my two screens.

Nothing we currently have

It’s literally pollicital correctness gone mad.

Doesn’t matter. Talk about talk about war crimes and state enforced segregation.

Soft forks try to maintain code compatible so changes can apply to both code bases. Normally done when there’s hope of a future merging of the code lines. They rarely work, as eventually thing get hard.

A next word predictor algorithm is still a next word predictor algorithm even if you change it’s training algorithm. To think that a LLM will eventually lead to intelligence inherently asserts that intelligence comes from the ability to use language.

You really would have thought that all these tech-heads would know that “The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.”

We know, through studies on actual humans, that language filters, constrains and quantises our thoughts process, and that different languages do this in different ways. Language harms our ability to reason. We’ve internalised it to such a degree that it now forces our ideas to fit into what the language can express. However, the ability to share our thoughts with others and collaborate is a massive boon for us as a species.

The whole this field is drawing pictures on the walls of Plato’s cave, trying to mimick the shadows being cast in from outside. Their drawings might look superficially similar to their inspiration, but they’re a poor imitation and that’s all they will ever be.

Migration is seamless. Uninstall one binary and install the other.

Somebody saying “I am a mermaid” would be looked at strangely too.

The standard library is where project go to die.
