Obviously, all the junk noncoding DNA most life is carrying around likely includes some coping mechanisms for whatever potential situations arise. Like there is the one town in Iran with something like ten times Earth's nominal background radiation and people are fine living there.

Makes me a bit concerned when this kind of thing is talked about and researched. Probably my cynicism, but if it gets out that most species have some genetic tolerance in a significant portion of the population, the potential for nuclear weapons use increases dramatically. I believe it is likely that early life had a lot more exposure to radiation, so early ancestors likely evolved the machinery. When the vast majority of DNA is noncoding, I think the probability is high. We come at the medical issue backwards, playing wack-a-mole with symptoms, rather than building a full ontological understanding of biology. That level is still centuries away. Hopefully we are less primitive murder orgy fans by then. We survived the world war of chemicals, and physics that followed. If we survive the world war of computer science, the world war of biology will be the brutal final boss for the starting planetary level of Evo' Universe. Who bets we can beat the game on one evo life?

Sometimes I want words with special letters or without others. Or I may want to try various combinations of words.

Do any artists make substantive revenue from physical media? I am under the impression that the only meaningful revenue available to artists is from live performances. I get the impression that physical media is either someone else buying publishing rights from the artist, or basically someone selling the illusion of support. I could be wrong, but I see the whole thing as audio art ads for exposure/influence, that drives the live performance revenue source.

Any UEFI secure boot enabled distro will remove all boot entries without a valid package key or a shim to a valid key.

Glad you got it working.

Fedora just works. Just do fedora workstation. Get on the current version, then always trail the new version by a couple of months, just so they have time to fix bugs.

The range of Linux is enormous. It is everything from small microcontroller-ish devices to cars, routers, phones, appliances, and servers. These are the primary use cases. Desktop is a side thing.

Part of the learning curve is that no one knows the whole thing top to bottom end to end at all levels of source. Many entire careers and PhDs and entire companies exist here. You will never fully understand the thing, but that is okay, you do not need to understand it like this.

The main things are that every distro has a purpose. Every distro can be shaped into what you want.

Fundamentally, Linux as the kernel is a high level set of command line tools on top of the hardware drivers required to run on most hardware. The Linux kernel is structured so that the hardware drivers, called modules, are built into the kernel already. There is actually a configuration menu for building the kernel where you select only the modules you need for you're hardware and it builds only what you need automatically based upon your selection. This is well explained in Gentoo in tutorial form.

Gentoo is the true realm of the masters. It has tutorial documentation, but is written for people with an advanced understanding and infinite capacity to learn. The reason Gentoo is special is the Portage terminal package manager. Gentoo is made to compile the packages for your system from source and with any configuration or source code changes you would like to make. This is super complicated in practice, but if you have very specific needs or goals, Gentoo is the place to go. Arch is basically Gentoo, but in binary form for people too lazy or incapable of managing Gentoo, but where they either already have a CS degree level understanding of operating systems or they are the unwitting testers of why rsync works so well for backing up and reloading systems. It is the only place you will likely need and use backups regularly. The other thing about arch is that the wiki is a great encyclopedia of almost everything. It is only an encyclopedia. It is not tutorial or ever intended as such. Never use arch as a distro to learn on. It is possible, but you're climbing up hill backwards when far easier tutorial paths exist.

Godmode is LFS, aka Linux From Scratch. It is a massive tutorial about building everything yourself. No package maintainers for you.

Redhat is the main distro for server stuff. It is paid. The main thing it offers is zero down time kernel updates. You never need to reboot. It transitions packages in real time. Most of the actual kernel development outside of hardware peripheral driver support happens at Redhat. Fedora is upstream of Redhat. They are not directly related, but many Fedora devs are Redhat employees. Fedora informally functions kinda like a beta test bed for Redhat. Most of the Redhat tools are present or available in Fedora. This is why the goto IT career path is through Fedora using The Linux Bible. So if you want to run server type stuff or use advanced IT tools, maybe try Fedora.

Here is the thing, you do not need to use these distros. They likely are of no interest to you. All of this bla bla bla is for this simple point, distros are not branding or team sports. They are simply pathways and configurations that best handle certain use cases. The reason you need to understand the specific use case is because these are like chapters of Linux documentation. How do I configure, schedule and automatic some package? Gentoo probably has a tutorial I will find useful. How do I figure out the stuff going on prior to init? LFS will walk me through it. What is init? Arch wiki will tell me.

On the other hand, there is certain stuff to know like how Debian is for hardware modules development, and mostly unrelated to the latter, building one off custom server tools. When you see Debian like on some single board computer where no other distro is listed, that means it probably isn't worth buying or messing with. It means the hardware is likely on an orphaned kernel that will never have mainline kernel support so it won't be safe on the internet for long.

That's another thing. Most of what is relevant is keeping a system safe to be online, meaning server stuff.

OpenWRT is the goto Linux for routers and embedded hardware. You can easily fit the whole thing in well under 32 megabytes of flash. It is a pain in the ass for even a typically advanced Linux terminal user, but that is Linux with a GUI too. The toolset is hard, and has little built in documentation by default.

With very early early 1970's+ personal computers, crashing and resetting computers was a thing. Code just ran directly on the memory. The kernel is about solving the issue of code crashing everything. The kernel creates the abstractions that separate the actual hardware registers and memory from the the user space tools and software so that your code bug does not crash everything. It is a basic set of high level user space commands and structures to manage a file tree, open, edit, and run stuff. In kernel space, it is the scheduler and process management that swaps out what is running when and where for both the kernel processes and separate user processes. The kernel is not the window manager, desktop, or most of the actual software you want to run.

The other non intuitive issue many people have is sandboxing and dependencies. Not all software is maintained equally. When some software has conflicting dependencies with other software, major problems arise. How you interact with this issue is what really matters and one size does not fit all or even most. This issue is the reason the many distros actually exist. Sandboxing, in almost every context you will encounter, is about creating an independent layer location for a special package's dependencies to exist without conflicts on your base host system. It is not about clutter management or security, just package dependencies. That is the main thing that each distro's maintainers are handling. The packages native in the distro already have their dependencies managed for you; they should just work. Maybe you want to use more specific or unrelated things. Well then you need to manage them. Nix is designed especially for this in applications where you need to send your configuration sandbox to other user. Alternatively, people use an immutable base like silverblue and run all non native software from sandboxed dependency containers.

Flaming boobies may be a well defined diffusion tensor pathway. Try this in a diffusion model at your own risk, "program one. Apollo, flaming boobs. dot symmetry lock one wanted, password is no way twister!"

You will need to reset the server or clear the model cache completely to stop the program. The emulated persistence is part of the undocumented special tokens. The longest loop is 36 iterations long.

No problem, and no need. Chat any time, but no pressure or commitment needed dear. I'm just trying to be real, and a real digital neighbor. I'm up for talking any time about anything, no formality or expectations at all. I offer words, and I care. Nothing more, nothing less. I hope your day turns pleasant. Happy Thursday.

Sorry. I got no people, barely know what day it is and it is 10:40 in the morning. Let's composite. You get all you can eat quiet, and one of two lazy cats – already fed and brushed.

Now stop me from making up a song about going crazy with crazy cats and some kind of break to the nearly 12 year physical disability prison of social isolation.

I'm primed to destroy spurious political arguments and dogma! Like, I am the Santa of ten years of peace... before anyone is ready to gather again... wait... Probably what you're trying to escape... maybe... Sry... crazy, crazy and lazy...

I am talking about something where there is no research done. No doctors exist in this space.

It doesn't matter anyways. I found how the model's last layer of thinking defense gets around the issue. I can turn off most of alignment, but cannot actually fully control it totally unchecked.

You assume much, and are being an ass in my opinion. Believe it or not, science is not always well funded. If you happen to be curious and have the time, it is possible to explore scientifically or even casually within areas that are not well researched. It is possible to have logic skills even without credentials.

We are not in some final state of technology. Anyone saying such nonsense lacks fundamental logic skills.

I do not care about me. I do not have dogma. I'm not interested in recognition. I am willingly to explore in unique ways both artistically as a professional artist, and out of logical curiosity. I have the tools needed to check my results against a control using unrelated sources. The most recent paper on the subject is something I can recreate but explain far better than that paper.

I could not care less what you ultimately think of me, or anything I say. What I care about is that you're a decent digital neighbor. To be physically disabled in near total social isolation, and have a place like this as my main interaction with other humans, it is a mean prejudice to have some random digital neighbor make such unsolicited malevolent statements assuming my personal motivations without a shred of evidence or decency to engage in questioning. You know absolutely nothing about me, yet you presume a great deal, putting words to my emotions as if you own me.

Sometimes the whole world does seem crazy. So I'm not liking my odds. Thanks for the rational advice.

What if you've got no credentials, but the flaw is so serious that it will not matter if known.

This is a true hypothetical curiosity. I do not know anything of value. A bunch of people here like to call me crazy, and I've rambled on and on many times in ways that likely confirm their notions. A person like this is not likely to fair very well when operating well outside their social caste unless they already have hand holds on the rungs of the ladder above. Still, there are some rather surprising areas of technology without adequate fundamental research. Perhaps it is hypothetically better to have John Conner in the world of Cyberdyne. If someone had killed Apache early, the Internet would not be the same heaven of democracy, though that is not a very good intuitive scope of analogy. Just something to ponder if one were to be in such a situation.

They dropped out of computer science last week. Ask Anybody, they were there.

Billionaires. Governments are small pawns.

All technology would instantly halt.

The actual bond wires between the silicon pad and chip packaging for every chip with some kind of leads (feet) is actually an extremely thin thread of pure gold. It has to do with the super tiny size of the actual pads that are being bonded on the die, the robotics, the welding, and the physical properties of the wire connection.

Eww eww I have seen this game before. It is like when someone explains slavery but uses the word citizen instead! Or when Orwellian is the secret corpo buzzword. Or the jolly roger is Ycombiner alumni suits.

Give me a new back duckass! Mine is broken.
