Should’ve known we’d never get far.

I agree with this. After seeing some videos of people messing with the voice conversations in ChatGPT I played with it a bit. Most of the voices are annoying and sound too much like some overly excited marketing person, but before they removed it the voice that sounded like Scarlett Johansson was pretty realistic and more normal. The emotional part of my brain felt content that it was involved in a two way conversation with a friendly and thoughtful person.
For example, as a test said something like I was feeling anxious about something, and it responded with encouragement about the situation and some ideas, and it actually did make me feel better. Or as another test I asked it to practice small talk and it had a whole scenario and we just chatted and it talked about working in marketing and asked questions, when I got bored with that it talked about how well it went. During that conversation my brain was pretty convinced it was talking to a woman in marketing, and it also felt good to have approval.
I was just messing around for a few minutes and I am convinced many people will feel a social and emotional connection, and that was just a verbal conversation.
I think we’re more likely to have a Christofascist regime than a communist one anytime soon, but such a data hoard is going to be dangerously abused in any authoritarian environment.
I’ve been a ThinkPad fan for a long time, but their new stuff bothers me. I picked up the HP DevOne which is essentially an Elitebook and I really like it. Very user serviceable and solid. The only think I don’t like is the glossy screen, and when playing around and configuring another model I think it was difficult to tell if it was matte or glossy through their marketing speak.
Yes it can, but it’s up to your BIOS to be able to boot it. UEFI might work better, you still might need to manually add the boot entry to the efivars using efibootmgr. Many distributions also have documentation for a rescue boot and reinstalling the bootloader config.
Not a fan of government or corporate surveillance.
My concern is mostly about whoever holds the keys in the long run. They collect it all today, hold it forever, who knows what regime comes to power in the next decades and uses that information for targeting.
Legally neither, this was a civil liability case and not a criminal proceeding. The war they are referring to is the Colombian conflict, which is ongoing.
Biden has said it out loud for nearly 40 years, “If there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one.”
It’s power projection in a traditionally less than friendly region. They might not like what they do, they might regret that they let them be an independent government, but they won’t do anything of real substance. Just ask the USS Liberty vets.
At least United Fruit did it with the knowledge, blessing, and assistance of the US government. Chiquita looking like amateurs here.
While I didn’t downvote, it’s a really low effort post and the OP could at least summarize some of the salient points. The title also sucks (of the video, but still).
I am kind of not a fan of posts that are just a 20 minute video.
It also happens when the hosts file is messed up and the system can’t resolve its own hostnames. Opensuse used to be pretty notorious for doing something odd to the hosts file by default that really only affected Firefox.
Edit: the increased security they’re trying around the browser might also be triggering that local resolution issue
This is from their opinion section. Research articles are separate.
IMO most of the lore is in the physical novels and later games that go more into story. Myst and Riven sort of drop you into an existing universe without explaining much and then you can learn some through bits and pieces as you go.
I think ZFS with redundancy is typically the gold standard.
Worried in the sense that having a backup is a good idea, most filesystems do not have much protection from a file becoming corrupted, but random corruption is rare. Personally I like an automated, regular cloud backup to B2 and also do a local one that is easier (faster) to restore. For local, I prefer Borg (or rather the Pika Backup frontend) because you can easily store different dates while also benefitting from file deduplication.
Correct, they are derivative distributions.
The top comment is usually someone saying nothing should ever change and every feature is bloat and should be an extension.
The Mozilla Corporation is the Firefox-focused spin-off. They are just reorganizing the internal structure of the company, they do this on a regular basis.
id software is six months older than Linux, but Doom was released a couple of years later.
Really great article, and thanks for posting the text of it.
Facebook is weird for me because it triggers my FOMO, but then if I use it all I see are a ton of random things with the most toxic people in the world living in the comments.
And similarly I just realized why my friends on instagram use stories and not posts, because for the most part stories is the only place I see content from people I know anymore (and again the FOMO).
I really relate to the sentence at the end, “there are people there but they don’t know why and most of what they are seeing is scammy or weird.”
