  • Folks have made it - I think ollama was name-checked specifically because it's on Github and in Homebrew and in some distros' package repositories (it's definitely in Arch's). I think some folks (at least) aren't talking about it because of the general hate-on folks have for LLMs these days.

  • I mean, even then it might not work. I'm wrestling with it right now (Lemur Pro 13 from System76) and from plain old suspend mode the machine still wakes up randomly (it pops up on my monitoring network as active, and can even be SSH'd into when it's supposed to be in lower power mode). Also, suspend-to-disk hibernation only resumes correctly about 13% of the time (I've been keeping stats while debugging it).

  • You are not the only person. However, even hibernation mode isn't a sure thing anymore.

  • Sleep is hit-or-miss even on System76 laptops. Dead simple on my XPS, though.

  • Talking Tiananmen with a Chinese chatbot: Chinese developers hope to build the AI of the future. What, if anything, will it have to say about the past?

  • ASML and TSMC Can Remotely Disable Chip Machines If China Invades Taiwan

    Jump

  • It would be far easier for the manufacturer to set up fuses that a killer poke could blow than to jump through all of the (legal) hoops to get hold of an explosive of some kind. And get Legal ready for it, because nothing like this ever affects only the intended group you don't like. To put it another way, one USian gets hurt because it went off at the wrong time and they're in a world of shit.
