  • In Cringe Video, OpenAI CTO Says She Doesn’t Know Where Sora’s Training Data Came From

  • It also tells us how hypocritical we all are since absolutely every single one of us would make the same decisions they have if we were in their shoes. This shit was one bajillion percent inevitable; we are in a river and have been since we tilled soil with a plough in the Nile valley millennia ago.

  • What's more likely to work is something else will appear and distract the gnat-like attention span of our status-obsessed species, and we can go back to tik tok being the sound your you hear at night when you visit your boomer relatives and try to sleep in the guest bedroom.

  • Any rolling distro that you enjoy is the way to go here I suppose. I'd also hitch my wagon to and arch variant personally but tumbleweed wasn't terrible either. Just not my mojo.

  • Anecdotally; I am running Manjaro, with a valve index, and other than a few need-to-disconnect-and-reconnect my HMD, it's been solid and painless.

  • Wait. Was this taken in the Croissante region? It's just that they're very particular about this, and I just want to make sure those are, in fact, croissant fields, and not sparkling crescent rolls.

  • No, I have been using some form of Linux at home and at work since then too. I distro hopped for many years until one of my coworkers showed me Arch. Oldest story in the book right? I eventually ended up on Manjaro after a drive failure and the need to get something arch-based up fast.

    To the substance of your point: no question that the internet was rougher around the edges too though in the early aughts right? Does you want an ActiveX or an ObjectEmbed? Let me load my 2000+ line navigator.appName giant if-then config for my site. Or how about when it was all tables and shim.gif and img tags with width and height. Good times.

    There were plenty of these problems between browsers on just one OS. Or even versions of IE. I still see the rows of testing machines in my dreams sometimes, each with a slightly different version of XP and IE. 5.1, 5.5, 6. Ugh. Or how about the early days of flexbox when it was 7s turn.

    Chrome wasn't even a thing until 2008 iirc, but that was also post safari-shaking-things-up too. And safari was from WebKit, and WebKit was from who? KHTML baby. (The K is for KDE.)

    TLDR you're right, but I don't feel like it is, or ever was just Linux based OS's being targeted so much as bifurcation of standards, or just lack of all the relevant parties (like the W3C and browser makers) sitting down and establishing those standards. It's also a chicken and egg thing with tech too.

    None of that is to say it never happened though, I'm just skeptical it was ever at any meaningful scale.

  • I've been playing with a locally installed instance of big agi really like the UI but it's missing the RAG part. I'm also cobbling my own together for fun and not profit to try to stay relevant in these hard times. Langchain is some wild stuff.

  • Gonna second you in this one. My Manjaro box is what I run to as a gold standard if one of my families windows machines using Chrome fails to load something. It's consistent, reliable and fast. What I think is missing from this conversation is: wired or wifi. One of the reasons the Linux machine is the yardstick is that it's not using wifi; never had a first page load fail.

    Slack on Linux however... Eesh. Never had an app so reluctant to launch.

  • Ollama is actually pretty decent at stuff now, and comparable in speed to chat gpt on a sort of busy day. I'm enjoying having a constant rubber duck to bounce ideas off.

  • And of course, we can rely on the universally true mutual exclusivity of always having a passenger when we need to navigate, and never needing to navigate when we don't have any passengers. As constant as the north star, that one.

  • Hamas Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal, Dashing Biden’s Hopes of Near Term Deal

    Jump

  • What's gross is acceptance of the idea that Hamas has 'leverage" because they took hostages. I take issue with the idea that taking hostages gives you leverage on anything, in any permanent sense. If Israel's actions confirm anything (other than that they are just as capable of visiting the same atrocities on others as any humans are) it's that. Show me what their actions have "levered" and I will show you a ruined land with a fast increasing body count. Way to apply yourselves champs.

    It makes you a target. Period. One deserving of retribution. You don't ever, ever get to walk away from that, so you don't get to claim you have leverage. If anything, you've got baggage. Moreover, that baggage is going to, increasingly, claim collaterals. QE motherfucking D.

  • Big cars are dead weight dragging down climate policy

    Jump

  • I think you're right. I'd want pay-per-use, networked vehicles I don't own but can opt in to use. Also want "Call car" button in every home so if you need to go to work, get groceries etc, you push it an within 10 mins a vehicle rolls up for use.

    I don't think it'll fly until we have reliable, safe self driving (so lol, not a Tesla) and we change our attitude towards what a vehicle is for, and why to own one.

    Owing a vehicle today has been twisted into a statement of one's "rugged individualism" (coughs mass produced car coughs) and threats to this are an attack on "muh FREEDERMS". Just watch literally any dodge ram commercial, or anything for an SUV where a starry eyed child is being driven through a forest by parents in an SUV. It's an image, manufactured want. Not need.
