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.
You can’t.
Social media is public, period.
If you want private social interactions then use end-to-end encrypted communication services.
Any oppressive regime will have multiple tools that can identify your access to social media services and determine who the human is behind the keyboard. Assume that everything you post on public social media has your real life name and address attached to it.
Unless you’re an expert and taking extreme measures (and you wouldn’t be asking this question if you were such an expert) then anonymous access to online services with respect to a sovereign power with an intelligence service is impossible.


I don’t know about you, but I use my RAM for a lot more than a browser.
I value my finite time more than I value a few Watt-Hours.
You could go to your local library and read through a bunch of books rather than using Google if you’re interested in more power savings ideas.
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.
