Exactly.

What the attestation system would do is give some government agency de facto control over which OSs could be installed on phones.

Right now, using GrapheneOS and being outside of corporate attestation chains just means that you can’t use the NFC payment system. It could very well be that every major commercial service would deny you access if you couldn’t pass an attestation verification via some browser API.

An example would be if age verification were a thing, they could ‘think of the children’ argue their way into only allowing OSs with age verification systems which are approved by the government to access social media or any website that would be considered 18+.

EU countries have already tried attacking GrapheneOS as a tool of criminals. It doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to see how they would refuse to allow ‘the criminal OS’ to be part of their attestation chain. Or if chat control passes, only devices that implement the mass surveillance spyware would be allowed to be attested. The government wouldn’t allow non-compliant operating systems to pass their tests.

The point of an attestation chain is to provide control over which devices are allowed to be verified and to use that verification status to gate access to services.

If my local datacenter exploded I’d join the search and rescue team helping rescue the trapped DDR5.

Truly the most humble person of all time.

Calculators are not computers, computers contain calculator-like elements but a calculator is no more a computer than a passenger jet is a coffee shop by virtue of having a coffee pot onboard.

Calculators cannot fabricate answers, but nor are they 100% correct due to things like bitflips and square root approximations. They also cannot write text, so the comparison would make even less sense.

LLMs and Humans can fabricate answers in written text so comparing the fabrication rate in written text of an LLM to a human (both entities which generate their answers with neural networks) makes more sense than to compare either to a calculator which neither uses a neural network or produces text.

So ‘we’ should compare like things and not choose items based on superficial similarities.

Calculators are not people, Mr. <1.19%.

Everything is temporary.

Political participation is a full-time job, keep the pressure on and the change will endure.

At 32K, the best model (GLM 4.5) fabricates 1.19% of answers

Not bad, I don’t know many people who are 98.81% accurate in their statements.

Sci-Fi dystopia/Cyberpunk has called a lot of things correctly.

This is why I’ve been limiting myself to local AI for most things.

Much like Smartphones, Social Media, etc… there is going to be a corporate product that is ‘better’ but the cost is all of your privacy and unknown second order effects (like the online advertising model turning into a political propaganda tool).

Let me ask ChatGPT Claude

To add to this, the big thing you get when using Gentoo is to setup your compiler to use all of the optimizations for your exact CPU/other hardware.

The binaries for arch are built for generic x86-64, while your Gentoo system could bet setup to include AMD-specific optimizations or to remove code paths that you would never used based on your hardware.

The result will be that the binaries will typically be smaller and optimized specifically for your hardware.

The downside is that a system update will take you half a day of churning your CPU on compiling.

I’m sure this will make RAM cheaper

I do the same and it has a child which is the last set of internals which are compatible that functions as a test environment/production server (same thing).

I can tell by the pixels and from seeing a few shops in my day

You gain the loss of the ability to play League of Legends and Fortnite

I can’t believe all of you who are opposed to this.

Won’t you think of the poor data brokers who’s entire library of intimate personal details about every person who’s ever used a smartphone is practically worthless without the ability to link it to your actual identity.

Screw the children, think of the shareholders you monsters.

I haven’t tested this, but fairly sure you could just install vortex, mo2 or whatever other modmanager to same prefix as where the game is.

Yeah, you can use protontricks to execute any executable inside the WINE environment. You can take the command used to do that and put it in a .desktop file so you can run the program from a desktop icon or launcher.

Installing mods mostly considered a ‘problem’ by the standard of gaming on Steam where you just press play and let Proton take the wheel. If you were running games through WINE prior to Proton, it is much easier now.

You, a Heretic, after the inquisition is done with you:

Nobody in the regular world has ever been effected by not having ECC.

Based on the article, it looks like at least 10% of crashes are caused by not having ECC.

Linus suffers from not understanding normal people.

Well, you are demonstrating that you’re an expert people person so I’ll just have to take your word.

Exactly, one of the ‘nerd edge cases’ (as the now removed comment mentioned) is that I use ZFS on my NAS.

There’s lots of checksumming and encryption. Errors in that process are not acceptable and could potentially cause data loss. Since the one of the points of using ZFS is the enhanced data integrity, not using ECC means losing out on that guarantee.
