Partially open sourced with heavy reliance on binary blobs and closed source user space code.

And yeah, we’re talking explicitly about Optimus switching being bad, nothing else.

Yeah, I had similar problems years ago.

Realistically, that is primarily gamer hardware, and Nvidia has no interest in open sourcing their drivers, or gamers nowadays, so it’s unlikely to ever be fixed.

Most people don’t have a spare thousand dollar gpu on their laptop though, and for them this is not an issue.

Don’t wait for the next laptop, just install Linux now.

It sounds like your laptop is completely unusable anyway, and you can dual boot while you’re figuring out if everything works

Have you tried saber?

I only use it on Android so I’m not sure if Linux has the same capabilities, but it’s similar to xournal++ but with more of a focus on building up a library of notes rather than marking up PDFs.

Numbers from elsewhere in the conversation.

The UK has fewer knife attacks per person than the US.

It’s just that there’s so much gun violence, no one talks about it.

I would assume the token is only good for a few page accesses.

E.g. 500 would mean that a person would see this extremely rarely, and still block a bot from crashing the site.

I think it’s just been easy to ignore how evil they are.

They’ve been tightly linked with Peter Thiel since they took over PayPal which has constantly stolen people’s money. It’s just harder for an auction house like eBay to be obviously evil.

Oh it’s much worse than that.

Cops have used Flock’s FreeForm search feature to look for people with tattoos and wearing specific sport shirts, and searches sometimes include the target’s race, according to data reviewed by 404 Media.

Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.

Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.

Ok real talk here.

Work to rule and malicious compliance only works when you have the backing of a strong union, or workers rights. In the US, for most jobs, they can fire you whenever they feel like it, and for no reason at all.

If anyone senior decides you’re fucking with them, even if there’s no proof, and they’re completely running on vibes, they might just fire you anyway.

My advice is copy the other porters. They know how much they can get away with, and find a decent hiding place for when you’re on a break.

Oh he’s just using an LLM to write all the posts. That’s why it’s garbage.

Interesting. The story in the west was that the translation for silksong was shit and that’s what pissed everyone off.

Musk really needs to do it now to get a decent listing.

The problem is he has no income for all his AI stuff, Twitter advertising revenue is still in the toilet, and spaceX’s biggest customer is the US government, but the Democrats fucking hate him, and the mid terms are coming up.

So time to squeeze the little guys to get some revenue.

Got to cash out their shares using your pension fund before they go bankrupt.

So this is pretty good.

It’s a list of things you need to do in order to make the use of Google forms gdpr compliant.

One thing they don’t touch on is the use of personal accounts to collect data. People tend to use Google forms because it’s easy to set up using their personal account, but that essentially removes any company oversight from the collection and data processing. This makes it much harder to satisfy the data controller requirements.

Of course if it’s an external contractor gathering the data and processing it independently, your company is likely to dismiss all this as not their problem.

If it’s real academic research it will have had to go through ethics approval, and this should include data handling, and gdpr compliance.

You can blame American puritism for that.

No sexual content on these websites, instead we’re going to stir up rage and sell everyone an AR-14.

Yeah, there’s two problems with this.

1. Congress is non-functional and can’t act as a check on the executive branch or the courts. In the past they’ve passed fuck you laws where they initially passed a law saying X, the supreme court interpreted it to say Y and then they passed a clearer version of X. This hasn’t happened in a long time.
2. The supreme court likes to reinterpret the constitution. This means if you want to correct the supreme courts interpretation you have to pass a constitutional amendment. Even if Congress functioned properly this would be difficult.

The idea we’re talking about wouldn’t work anyway. The problem is, many of the state supreme court judges are also batshit.

The only way round this is to copy other countries that have functional judicial systems and stop making judges either political appointments or directly elected. They need to be professionals selected on merit, and firable, or at least replaceable after a term, if they’re incompetent.

She’s also written some banging children’s books.

There’s the whole earthsea saga that is probably easier to read than Harry Potter.
