Even India assassinated a Canadian on Canadian soil. .

For ARM Linux comparison, I ran the Speedometer 3.0 benchmark the author uses on my daily driver Macbook Air M2 (24GB RAM) running Asahi Linux Fedora Remix 42 (KDE). I used FF 149 which is just what I had installed. It scored 22.0 which apparently was better than this Zenbook and even beat out several Ryzen 7 and Core i7 offerings:

A used M2 Air with my spec mine (24GB RAM 2TB SSD) is $800-$900, which is a fraction of the $1600 Asus wants for their slower unit new, but the Asus does have more RAM.

I like seeing more ARM based Linux laptops.

They are shitting out what you feed them. If you feed them garbage, you get garbage in return.

This is the missing conceptual understanding that probably 90% of LLM users lack. They really don’t know how LLMs work, and treat them like AGI. Sadly this includes adult policy makers in our society too. Efforts like those of these these researchers act to educate the public. I’m hopeful this will spark some critical thinking on the part of regular, otherwise ignorant, LLM users.

That’s a serious breach of ethics and morals. Feeding false information to an LLM is no different that a magazine.

Hang on. Are you suggesting its unethical/immoral to lie to a machine?

Additionally, the authors didn’t submit the article to a magazine as factual. They posted the articles on a preprint server which can be very questionable anyway as there is no peer review. The machine chose to ignore rigor and treat them as fact.

I give you… “The Grant Money Printing machine!”

Need a grant? Create a disease and submit a paper. Then write a grant asking for money to solve your invented disease.

“This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue,”

Yes, its overdue. I support the aim of the EFF mission and also financially, and knowing that some of that goes to supporting the musk platform has always rubbed me wrong.

Under changes in the tax law, private jet buyers can deduct the full cost of the aircraft from their taxes in the year it is purchased if it is used at least half of the time for business.

So if you buy the jet in December and take a single business trip (and no personal trips), you would have 100% of the jet flights for business in the year you purchased the jet? It looks like you would then get a tax deductible jet for whatever use you want going forward?

“We, along with the whole industry, definitely saw a pretty significant uptick in demand in the back half last year, which we’re attributing to the 100% bonus depreciation,” Shevlin said. “We expect the same thing to happen at the end of this year.”

This looks like it confirms my suspicion.

Also, don’t pretend that the Democrats oppose this war on moral grounds.

They generally oppose it on economic grounds at least. I’ll take the outcome of “no war” even if I disagree with the reason we get there.

I’m assuming Kennedy’s brain worm wants to delay/suppress this report because it is factual evidence against the brain worm narrative that vaccines are bad.

Sure, that the standard for well maintained enterprises. Unfortunately very little of the IT world is a well maintained enterprise. The job that executes the cert renewal goes offline because of a cred rotation, or a maintenance window that ran too long, or the connectivity was cut, or the server was brought down because no one thought it was used anymore.

Are these events recoverable? Absolutely, but when one of these bad events happen in a 12 month period the SSL cert is still valid until the 12 month renewal date. Now with max cert life falling to 47 days you’re loading the revolver with more chances for these to happen resulting in an expired cert.

The best name I’ve heard for the 2000s is “the noughties”, as in the plural of nought, zero.

No, but Vance is trying to paint himself as doing the right thing in this article.

They should totally do this, but sell the naming rights like a sports arena to the highest bidder.

consistancy in the law is a pretty basic thing to ask for, considering we are “all” meant to follow it.

You’re moving the goalposts a bit. The law is consistent in this example. One this is deemed illegal the other thing deemed is legal. I agree with you about why those laws are chosen to exist is certainly open to debate. Are you instead arguing the laws in your example are ambiguous?

• Do you think the woman who sold Perry the ketamine thought she was selling it legally?
• If you were to walk into a gun store, would you be concerned the store owner was breaking the law selling you a gun?

Those certificate warnings are big, in your face, and yet people click through them without reading.

This is only going to get worse with SSL cert max life shrinking to only 47 days by 2029. We’re going to see expired certs all over the place all the time and its just going to train users to click through anyway ignoring the warnings.

Pointing out that legally, guns are OK doesn’t contradict my point, it furthers it.

Does it? I’m not sure I’m following what your point is.

our society treats the things very differently for arbitrary cultural bullshit.

Well, yeah. That’s just how different groups of humans consider things that can be dangerous. You can go to any hardware store and by arsenic as rat poison. You can go to any drug store and buy eye drops. Both are lethal to humans when ingested yet both are easily accessible without any licensing or age restrictions.

Most countries also consider alcohol (ethyl alcohol) legal to purchase by adults (but definition of adult varies depending on the group of humans). Many would rightfully argue alcohol is more dangerous than some illegal narcotics.

If you’re looking for consistency in human behavior across society I’m not sure you’d going to find it very often.

I don’t think it would shield an illegal gun seller if that gun was used by someone to kill someone else.

If Perry had been given a legal prescription and still died by abusing it, I don’t think Walgreens would be facing charges.

The distinction here isn’t “gun” vs “drug” it is “legal sale” vs “illegal sale”.

I don’t need to. That’s not my job. That’s Vance’s to protect our nation. The article says Rubio (Sec of State) was against the Iran war too, so that’s one that shares his view on the Iran war. Its up to them to talk to other members of the Cabinet. Alternatively Vance can go to Congress and seek trump’s removal through other Constitutional means. If he chooses not to, and it didn’t look like he did, he’s equally responsible for all of trumps crimes.

What is even the point of the Fediverse if it does not offer freedom from external influence.

…and…

To make it clear, I am against places with zero moderation. But you still need to objective and understand how could you lightly moderate without influencing the legal allowed content.

That may be your goal, but that isn’t a universally held opinion. As an example, trolling would not be illegal, but I have zero desire for trolls to be allowed to run wild simple because they’re not breaking a law. There are also certain opinions which many consider socially toxic. Those too don’t necessarily deserve a platform simply because they don’t break a law.

There’s a solution to both if those are your goals. You can stand up and admin your own Lemmy/Piefed instance on the Fediverse. Moderate your own Lemmy Communities and espouse whatever opinion you want with whatever level of moderation you want. None of that is available on Reddit. That’s the power of the Fediverse.

That doesn’t protect you from your instance defederated if your content is too objectionable to others, but it follows the logic of “Your freedom ends at my nose”. You can say what you want, but you can’t make others be forced to listen to you.
