Youtube comments of Gilad Barlev (@GSBarlev).

  1. You've just made Nix users extremely happy. That's right, all eight of them.
    7700
  2. I'm legitimately impressed by 3:10. Either the model is actually that good or Jeff put a ton of effort into that scripted response. Either way, very impressive.
    2300
  3. This is honestly the most cogent and constructive political discourse I've seen in a while.
    2200
  4. Wow, you beat my best time by two seconds! And 15 minutes. And 12 hours... I do plan to finish someday, fam.
    2100
  5. Louis talks too slowly. We all watched the video at 15x speed.
    1900
  6. Y'all asking why she didn't just go to another state before putting down the basketball don't understand—that's called traveling.
    1800
  7. This man giving us all the gift of a well-researched, well-produced and thought-provoking history lesson without the expectation of a direct or equivalent exchange. Nice.
    1700
  8. I can't believe how she's glossing over the downsides: do you know how much it costs to store this amount of data? Sure, it's all well and good for the huge companies with their acres of NAS servers and light-years of magnetic tape, but spare a thought to the mom & pop data harvester whose entire revenue gets eaten up by the cost of renting cloud storage. 😢
    1600
  9. This town isn't quite as progressive as they would have you believe—I suggested Goudadelphia, but the mayor is clearly lactose intolerant.
    1400
  10. To clarify, this attack didn't actually affect any production systems—every stable distro was at least two minor versions old, and no rolling release was built in a way such that to be vulnerable to the attack vector. The one system where this was out in the wild was... macOS systems with Homebrew. But don't let Tim Apple find out, or he'll try to block macs from "sideloading" software.
    1100
  11. Beyond the swappable ports, I wish we were seeing more of a ecosystem around Framework's other easily-swappable components. Imagine if, say, Keychron announced they were making a swap-in replacement ultra-low-profile mechanical keyboard for Framework.
    1100
  12. I've actually taken professional docker courses. This is better than 90% of them. I will absolutely add "Docker certified by Jeff Fireship" to my resumé the next time I'm on the hunt.
    1000
  13. Yeah, some state agency is extremely pissed right now that their op was busted after two years of work, and before their backdoor could actually make it into the wild.
    819
  14. So apparent Crowdstrike Falcon broke a Debian image about three months ago, but because Linux doesn't actually force software updates, it fucked the VMs of a few dozen nerds who reported the issue and rolled back to the previous image before the entire global ecosystem went down. Seems like there's a few lessons to be learned here.
    812
  15. Database programmers are a different breed, my dude.
    809
  16. My favorite algorithm is probably Perlin Noise. You touched on procedural generation in your wavefunction collapse portion, but the fact that the result is deterministic (based on the initial seed) and independent of the order of the observations is just mind-blowning.
    776
  17. With how unrealistic these job postings have gotten, the real best way to get a job in the industry is to already have one and get the attention of a recruiter or a head-hunter. I'm a data scientist. I became a data scientist after reading an article about how it was the "hot new career" and going to my very first boss and asking him if I could change my title. Me: "Do you care if I start calling myself a data scientist?" Him: "Do I have to pay you anything mkre?" Me: "Nope!" Him: "Go for it." Ten years and a job change (that I was recruited for) later and I'm a senior data scientist with ten years of experience. 🤷‍♂️
    747
  18. I'm now legitimately concerned that this writers' strike is going to undermine John's ability to challenge Disney's Mickey Mouse trademark filing... Come on, HBO (sorry, "Max"): pay your writers what they're worth.
    719
  19. Tip for reporters, if you want to get Thomas to respond to this: ask him what he thinks about Oliver's RV?
    610
  20. Thank you for helping usher in a more sustainable future for mankind. God bless. 🙏
    525
  21. Classic gaslighting. "We would never use your data to train AI (even though we could)! We would never scan your files (unless they have a warrant)!" The most disgusting thing is that they claim they need permission to access your files in order to open them, which is backwards—ADOBE shouldn't be opening my files, I should be opening my files using their software, which I bought and paid for. Disgusting. Even worse that realistically nothing will change, as you can't even use an "old version" of CS unless you're willing to go back, like, a decade.
    463
  22. This is why I'm actually strongly in favor of the Hot Potato License: you may do whatever you wish with this software, so long as you update the contact information if you make any changes.
    412
  23. I lost respect for quite a few of my AP English classmates the day after our teacher assigned us "A Modest Proposal" for homework reading. Of course a few weeks later we got an (unlabeled) essay that I completely read as serious and proceeded to participate straight-faced in a discussion about until one student (who incidentally was my high school crush) interrupted us all to say, "Guys, it's David Sedaris."
    402
  24. It's important that a nonzero percentage of the TOR network be used for innocuous purposes (such as leaving 💩post replies to YT comments) or else legal defenses against evidence of TOR usage boil down to, "But you can't prove which crime I committed."
    402
  25. I'm doing my part! I've been running a shelter for unhoused scooters out of my basement for years. Sometimes people come knocking on my door looking for them, but my attitude is that, after that level of abuse and neglect, it would be unconscionable to return these scooters to the people who put them in those vulnerable positions in the first place.
    351
  26. Libertarians advocating for state ownership of companies. The Onion couldn't come up with this.
    342
  27. For those that, like me, didn't know, NVD is the US National Vulnerabilities Database and is part of our National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
    312
  28. Chaos Lawyer's addition to the Legal Eagle lineup is so absolutely welcome.
    306
  29. Angela flexing on us with a $700-$800 Faraday Rotator she just casually keeps in her house while also saying "I'm not an experimentalist." Love it.
    292
  30.  @3putt21  She, and sadly Sputnik 2 burned up in April of 1958.
    288
  31. Honestly, one-way covenants are pretty goated—"if you submit a PR or a bug report to us, you can expect us to treat you in this way, and we expect zero reciprocity" is refreshingly mature.
    274
  32. Wishing all the love and joy in the world to Grace and that woman at the end. Please invite me to the wedding. ❤️
    260
  33. I love how y'all consistently structure the "cool animal facts" in these videos using a hypothesis-evidence-rebuttal-better-hypothesis dialog, rather than just saying, "bulldog bats are afraid of the moon" or even jumping straight to, "the best hunting is when the fish are attracted to artificial lights." It's such a cool way of getting your audience to engage and showing how scientists think and how our understanding of these bizarre beasts has evolved! 🦇
    250
  34. I've seen so many comments from people saying, "That's it, I'm switching to Linux." I hope even a tenth of them do and that they don't choose something dumb like Arch, Nix or Holo for their first distro—we veteran members of Club 🐧 owe it to these newbies to suggest Mint, Pop or Nobara as Baby's First GNU. Don't worry—the true neckbeards among them will find their way out of the kiddie pool when they're ready.
    246
  35. 13:29 Counterpoint: the Mastodon devs successfully forced Truth Social to share their source code under the AGPL with only the threat of litigation.
    241
  36. Considering the competition (Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes come to mind), you have to admit that it's quite an accomplishment.
    229
  37. Fun fact: The Onion earned several Pulitzer Prizes back in 2011. They weren't awarded any, but with the campaign they ran, they absolutely deserved at least three.
    220
  38. My main takeaway from this is that Marques is darn lucky he didn't do this in Virginia. The Editor in Chief of Jalopnik, back in 2014, spent three nights in jail for going ~30mph over the speed limit on an unpopulated rural straightaway while doing a car review of the (then-)new Chevy Camaro.
    212
  39. This is the most aggressively French person I have ever seen. I have almost no idea what he's selling, but I wish him the best of luck.
    211
  40. The threat of MV3 is literally what motivated me to switch (back) to Firefox, after I was literally one of the first adopters of Chrome back in 2008.
    208
  41. Lindsay working in her trademark "RATS" at 3:14 had to be intentional. (Thank you 🐀)
    205
  42. My wife and I were on our honeymoon. At some point one evening, I was checking my messages and found like 100 DMs for a competitive Pokémon community that I cosplayed as a sysadmin for. The server that hosted our battle simulator had gone down, and when I went to investigate why, it was due to its Windows Server license having expired. I mumbled under my breath, "Ohhh... that's what those warnings were about that I got every time I've logged on for the past 60 days." My wife, an actual managed services sysadmin, said: "... You ignored a Windows license expiration message?!," and then, practically under her breath, "I married a man who would ignore a Windows license expiration message?"
    198
  43. "Smart golf balls" reminds me of that prank gift where the ball has a remote-controlled motor inside, so your dad slices a perfect drive, and you curveball it right into a tree.
    194
  44. The Janeway we see in Prodigy (the one who got an augment into the Academy) would have resigned her commission before she let Seven get tossed to the wolves.
    190
  45. That's something I would really hate to get called on. "Oh, you're fluent in erlang? Great! You're now responsible for keeping this extremely important but ancient codebase from exploding! Here's your company pager—hope you don't believe in nights or weekends!"
    184
  46.  @LosFarmosCTL  Pretty sure you're right about Homebrew from what I've found—the general consensus appears to be that the FOSS world dodged a bullet by Freund discovering this in March and not May, by which point this version would have actually been deployed in the intended target—Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
    183
  47. I suspect two things are going on here: 1. He has such absurd amounts of wealth that he can afford all the image consultants, fitness coaches, plastic surgery and makeup / prosthetics needed to make him look however he wants. 2. SBF completely ruined the whole game of "you can always trust the pasty nerd with no rizz"
    181
  48. Hot take: a man page is not a substitute for an indexable HTML site. There are so many autodocs tools, there's really no excuse. Fwiw, the reverse is true as well—just because the docs are online doesn't mean your tool shouldn't have a help CLI entrypoint.
    168
  49. Bear in mind that DARPA funds a lot of weird research that isn't directly—or solely—related to defense. Makes complete sense that they'd be interested in developing a high performance file system if for no reason more interesting than... the US military stores computer files.
    168
  50. These are the most milquetoast, lukewarm takes I have heard in years, and people need to hear them, because while they should be obvious, there are still waaay too many developers (especially tech leads) out there who believe these myths.
    167
  51. Excuse me, I'm sorry for interrupting, but I couldn't find the name of the thrift store in the description. Could you please add it when you get the chance? Sincere thank you in advance.
    163
  52. Loved how you took Amtrak up to Boston instead of driving or (God forbid) flying. Minimizing your carbon footprint in producing this vid did not go unnoticed!
    161
  53. You gained a lot of cred from me today by using an LLM correctly. Everyone and their parakeet focused on their generative applications (to pump out schlock) when these models are best used for information extraction (best done with guardrails in place such as asking them to cite the line of the TOS instead of produce its own summary).
    158
  54. Such a dumb mistake. Who could possibly think that package signing has anything to do with anti-cheat? It's obviously about combatting Steam Deck delivery thefts. 😉
    154
  55. I appreciate the effort you put into that Forbes Virtual Billionaires NFT joke! Can you imagine something so absurd? Wait, that's a real thing?!
    152
  56. Standing ducking ovation, Angela. So incredibly important. So incredibly well put. And anyone who was "turned off" by the back half of this video should really ask themselves why they feel angry watching an intelligent woman who grew up in a Red state share objective historical facts.
    151
  57. Didn't expect him to have a good take on space tourism. All I remember from the incident was another round in his feud with Takei.
    129
  58. Star Trek provides an excellent example of the importance of downtime. I strongly believe that the primary reason why people who loved Deep Space Nine and hated Discovery feel that way was because the streaming-era 13-eps/season production didn't have room for "filler" stories that gave the propagonists enforced downtime, even in the middle of galaxy-spanning crises: your "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," "It's Only a Paper Moon" or even "Move Along Home."
    128
  59. As a federal employee, this was your hardest troll I've ever clicked on.
    125
  60. ​ @kingskelett6265 Pretty much any time a character says, "We go in through the front door." Most often it's more that the prison isn't built to withstand, say, a Hulk, or where (in a SF context) a character is really good at appearing to be dead. Top of mind the hospital heist in "Firefly" (break in + break out)¹, and some show or movie (can't remember which) where a villain's mook or dragon allows themselves to be captured only for them to blow themselves up once they made it to the prison (thus opening the door big ole hole for the real macguffin to escape). ¹Don't try to tell me that a government hospital is meaningfully different from the prison.
    124
  61. 12:58 is kind of hitting the nail on the head—if GTK5 doesn't support an app developer's target environment, then they won't update to GTK5. If GIMP is still using GTK2 after 20 years, our grandkids will still be using something written using GTK4.
    123
  62. "GNOME used to stand for something!" "I know, the project has really compromised its principles." "No, I mean the name had meaning!" "Yeah, and now it's just a shell of its former greatness." "You're not listening. These days GNOME just stands for GNOME." "I know! They're just in it for themselves."
    120
  63.  @thzzzt  Well my company is pretty relaxed about work from home, so I can wear whatever I want. But no, as someone who mines and cleans data for a living, I'm usually wearing a hard hat with a flashlight and thick gloves.
    116
  64.  @timdrozinski1653  Thanks, Mr. Cultural Relativism! What would we do without you? Fwiw, Newton would have been well aware of Margaret Cavendish, Sophia Charlotte and other women natural philosophers of the era. He was asexual and completely uninterested in women as romantic partners, but I have no evidence he thought them intellectually inferior (correct me if I'm wrong!)
    115
  65. Xanatos Gambit vs. Indy Plot
    113
  66. ​ @BlueRecRoom I was like, "Certainly not Hephaestus!" but ship, man. He and Aphrodite apparently had a ton of kids, just none with each other. 🤷‍♂️
    113
  67. Oh, so glad this isn't about "panspermia." I never liked life here began out there theory—mainly because the evidence is so sparse, partially because it doesn't explain where that life originated, but also because it's one of those ideas that conspiracy theorists love to misinterpret and latch onto—and the Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated that life can arise without external "seeding," even if the precise conditions he was testing weren't the ones responsible in our particular case.
    107
  68. Why limit to the humanities? Don't forget that Red's degree is in math and that she's an amateur astronomer! Imagine if she branched out to cover cosmology alongside cosmogony.
    106
  69. This is incredibly validating to read. Today is the last day of six months of unemployment. Between job hunting I spent most of my time writing my own FOSS projects. I justified it as keeping my skills sharp, learning new tools and paradigms, and building a public portfolio, but mainly if was because I needed to write code. Thanks for sharing, Brodie!
    105
  70. Poseidon giving off major Shaxs from Lower Decks vibes.
    103
  71. That Black Mirror episode (its title trips YT's automod) is one of the all-time best. Mulling over the message of that ep is my "Roman Empire."
    101
  72. The Steam Deck was my first computer that had a non-"this incident will be reported", and I thought it was so smart of Valve not to scare the pants off of 1MM+ Linux n00bs. Only found out later that it was changed way, way upstream.
    99
  73. I get that it's not exactly a coincidence but it's still shocking to see all these companies suddenly competing to be the absolute worst. Suddenly, the Ubuntu Pro motd ads are looking a lot more palatable... 🤢
    99
  74. I think I have an explanation for why "RF Burns" asks this question once per year and doesn't respond to questions—it's those rascally students keeping the meme alive as a class prank and rite of passage.
    97
  75. Arch Nix 🤝 SteamOS since 3.5
    97
  76. 💯 Back when I was a physics undergrad (15ish years ago) our closest equivalent to an Arduino was a multi-hundred-dollar GPIO EVM hooked up to a computer running LabVIEW. (We also had to walk one mile to the physics building, uphill, in the snow)
    96
  77. I swore off ever buying another piece of Google hardware after I had two Nexus 5X phones go into the bootloop-of-death a day after each's warranty expired.
    94
  78. It's not even the first time. Or was that "Searches cures for depression > Gets directions to the Golden Gate Bridge" screenshot debunked?
    92
  79. I'll always remember, the week after my 13th birthday, when the last guest finally went home after my Bar Mitzvah. I turned to my mom and said, "Can we go to the weather control station now?" And she turned to me with this look of pity—"Oh honey, I thought you knew! We Jews don't control the weather." And, as my eyes welled up with tears, she continued, "I mean, we used to, until Marjorie Taylor Greene and her army of Lizard People seized our space lasers." One of these days, we'll take back the satellites. One day...
    91
  80. Can confirm you are the only person talking about XWayland rootfull. It is literally how I discovered this channel.
    90
  81. His pedagogical skills are also vastly overrated. I have never heard of a university using the Feynman Lectures as a textbook and, IIRC, the students who took his classes failed at an extremely high rate.
    88
  82. Their reproductive organs being on their legs just reminds me of Kirk's fight scene on Rura Penthe in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. ""I was lucky that thing had knees" "That was not his knee."
    87
  83. Last week a pair of insoles arrived from Amazon. I didn't order any insoles. The package was clearly addressed to me. There weren't any insoles in my order history—in fact, I hadn't ordered anything in a super long time. Finally, after adjusting my purchase history window, I found a pre-order for a Blu Ray box set I'd placed months ago. I'm super lucky I figured it out before my ADHD brain forgot about it and the return window lapsed.
    87
  84. "It's work for me to say all the words to convey the thoughts." Yes this! I've struggled with communication for my whole life, because I'll have this crystal clear idea of what I'm envisioning, but when I try to convey it using words, I inevitably miss parts that are just obvious inside my head. It's a huge disadvantage for me in my day-to-day life, and I, fittingly, haven't had the words to properly describe it before now.
    87
  85. The Onion predicted multi-modal generative AI by almost a decade. Mad respect.
    86
  86. Hollywood, listen up: Angela has teed up a goldmine of a film—an adaptation of Surely You're Joking, leaning in all the way into the dramatic irony angle. Feyman spends the whole film going around doing incredibly cringey things thinking he's awesome while everyone around him is just so incredibly embarrassed on his behalf. Also: the thing about Bob and Ralph Leighton reminds me of when F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr. was asked who his idol was, he answered Fernano Alonzo and not, you know, legendary racecar driver Carlos Sainz Sr.
    85
  87. Just to clarify, the top spot still goes to Phippy & Friends and their Illustrated Children's Guides to Kubernetes (which, yes, do cover Docker as well).
    84
  88. ​ @rohithreddy75 Install an OS that you actually control? Like Windows 10 (EOL be damned) or that thing with the 🐧

  89. Grace, the haircut really looks great.
    84
  90. I remember the days when I thought you were sick if you had five tabs open. Now I just try to avoid the dreaded "99+" on my phone's browser...
    83
  91. same. Fixed in 131.0.2, my system was already on 131.0.3
    83
  92. Halting problem is trivially solved—eventually all programs halt due to the heat death of the universe.
    83
  93. I went and watched the full video of The Agile Paradoxon after this—equal parts brilliant and depressing. Luckily, as someone who skipped Web3, I could watch this with pure schadenfreude 🤣 Edit: removed the joke about skipping Web4 to Web5, because it turned out that's actually a (stupid) thing
    82
  94. I watched a video over the weekend from someone with 12.6MM subscribers talking about mental health. The comments were full of spambots using non-obfuscated violent language that would trip even the least restrictive content moderation filter. I reported dozens. Two days later, I came back, and all those comments were still there. What wasn't? My comment expressing sympathy to a commenter who had opened up about their own mental health. This is just ridiculous.
    81
  95. All the Python devs I've talked with have been extremely skeptical of Mojo (especially when we've had pypy and numba for years). Now that it's general availability, I'm looking forward to some unbiased cross-comparisons (and, hey, may do some myself).
    79
  96. Edit / PSA: The air date is now in the video description! Thank you, Team LWT! Since the hero who did it for S01 hasn't gotten here yet: Originally aired May 3, 2015
    78
  97. I'm a simple man. I don't need my terminal emulator to be fast or hyper-customizable. But if your terminal is dropping frames, you're doing something terribly wrong. I use the elementaryOS terminal, btw. Even / especially on Arch.
    78
  98. This reminds me how, over the course of 2021, we all mutually accepted that Kiev was an exonym, and that we should be spelling it Kyiv pronouncing it Keev Kee-eve (see comments). And on the subject, as someone whose ancestors were from what is now Poland and The Ukraine, I am forever confused when people mention the other Galicia.
    78
  99. If you do a deeper dive into open microcontroller computing, I hope you cover how the original Arduino developers got completely shafted. I also would love to see a "100 seconds" on microPython (/ CircuitPython) and cover how these days you can don't even have to write static programs--you can just start up a REPL (or, better, WebREPL) and just run python commands directly on the device. The level to which this has cut down on iteration time and increased prototyping speed has made it really hard to justify going back to Arduino.
    77
  100. Yep. And the people who know enough to disable the ads are the exact same people who would never click an ad for whatever sketchy product is paying for that placement in the first place, so from Microsol's POV, it's literally nothing lost.
    76
  101. "How Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth" from Star Trek: The Animated Series. The ancient alien Kukulkan is basically: "Why did y'all never solve my puzzle?" and Kirk and one crewmember of Maya descent go, "Because we didn't care about your shenanigans."
    76
  102. Gotta love how, now that the Supreme Court has ended Chevron Deference, these complicated issues will be decided exclusively by political appointees with no technical experience who think a RESTful API is something that happens in the bathroom after you've had a good night's sleep.
    76
  103. Literal meaning of "one bad apple spoils the bunch."
    75
  104. This is why microSD cards are OP. So much more flushable.

  105.  @DJ-dh3oe  You're missing the point, though: he's been rocking the robot look for decades. Why suddenly go surfer boy chic?
    75
  106. 1:16 "Which one was the whale?" None of them, Donnie. There has never been a whale on any version of that test.
    73
  107. 2:40 Did y'all know that according to most formal (and legal) definitions, a flippin' Linear Regression is considered AI? Not a joke—AI literally pre-dating computers, and if you limit your definition to what most people agree is AI, then you've merely limited the range to when "computers" had names like "Mary," "Katherine" and "Augusta."
    73
  108. He hated it so much he had to violently purge his system.

  109. Sounds like your "outage" was a net positive, in that it surfaced gaps more than actually causing problems, so hopefully you'll be golden for the next storm. Thanks for taking us along on your learnings!
    73
  110. UberEats and the others also seem to be trying to obscure more and more the actual kitchen preparing your order–I know there's two locations of the virtual kitchen Pimp My Pasta: one always throws in extra garlic bread, the other always gives me food poisoning. I have to be really careful when searching for delivery that I get the correct location, which often necessitates typing in the physical address (if I remember it) or going to my order history to hit "reorder." Obviously this is UberEats being skeevy, but it's why overall consistency in a brand does kinda matter.
    72
  111. This is a huge leap forward in Sam Altman's ability to separate AI bros from their trust funds and crypto hodlings.
    72
  112. This is absolutely how corporate tech works. On the one hand, this is great since it means that the "one guy who actually writes the code" doesn't end up taking down the whole internet due to a mis-configured bucket policy. On the other, this is how FAANG (or, rather, MAMAA) is able to lay off 10% of its workforce without batting an eye. Also 3:09 hits really hard right now.
    71
  113. Fwiw, Brodie, I do find COSMIC daily-driveable and am finding fewer and fewer reasons I need to hop over to my X11 fallback. I happen to really like the design language and find COSMIC's UX to be extremely intuitive (as someone who never found a good multi-monitor tiling flow with sway or Hyprland). Anyway, I should hope Vaxry isn't madly in love with COSMIC—if he were, what would motivate him to continue to work on Hyprland?—but writing a whole blog post to 💩 on the project is just weird. At the end of the day, it's a free internet, and the Wayland ecosystem is net-net better off with Vaxry doing his own thing in his own corner, so I wish him the best.
    71
  114. A new update for my favorite game dropped on Wednesday--I've been so excited to play it. So what have I been doing since Wednesday? Updating all of my mods and configurations to work with the new version. And when I was done with my own stuff I started opening PRs to update other people's mods. Still haven't actually played the new game. It's pathological.
    70
  115. Valve—and specifically GabeN—see the XBox Store as their #1 existential threat. If Microsol decides to pull a Cupertino and limit certain capabilites to their "software partners," Steam is hosed. Sinking all this investment into Linux is their escape valve 🥁. Of course, them deciding to open source their secret sauce is what makes them the 🐐.

  116. Double-subverted in season 3 of Star Trek: Enterprise where the protagonists capture the lead baddie and put on an elaborate ruse to make him think that he and Scott Bakula just broke out of prison together and that the two are now partners in crime (but with the baddie having lost his memory). The baddie eventually sees through the ruse and is set free (with his memory of the con wiped) only for him to do an actual heel-face-turn literally two episodes later.

  117. Guess what? Everything he discussed and showcased in this video still applies to FOSS frameworks like pytorch-rocm. Get that bag, Jeff.

  118. The German electrician and YouTuber Great Scott! has an entire series where he finds hidden gems on various bottom-of-the-barrel eCommerce platforms. It's essentially roulette. The trick is that since he's an electrician with a ton of testing equipment, he can verify with his purchases that it'll never be of the Russian variety.

  119. When I was undergoing a government background check, the dude asked me about my finances, and I said, "Not great. Living paycheck to paycheck," and the guy laughed and said, "Wow, don't usually get that level of honesty," to which I was thinking, Why would anyone lie about or sugar-coat this sort of thing when they already handed over their bank records?!?

  121. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. But at least I can say I've never left an x1.32xlarge running over a long weekend.
    64
  122. Wow, I totally missed that between all the other horrible things about that arc. My headcanon, fwiw—especially with the line that "Janeway did all she could" or whatnot—was that Janeway intentionally sabotaged her admission. 😂

  130. The thing that bothered me about the sponsor bit was the "1 month free trial" part—like, 75% of the JetBrains suite has "Community Editions" that are perpetually free.
    60
  131. Learning to code is now and has always been a horrible idea. Learning to program is useful no matter if you never touch another computer in your life. It's all about thinking logically, which, as Jeff says, will always be needed, and a computer science degree (as opposed to a four-week for-profit boot camp) is a great way to build those skills.
    59
  132. Might as well get an autopen at that point. To be fair, I'm not one for whom signed copies (that weren't signed in person) have any particular value in the first place.

  139. This is a great explainer. You can really tell that POSIX' privilege model comes from the mainframe space where you had a ton of users with varying degrees of ownership / trustworthiness all sharing one giant machine of vacuum tubes and mechanisms that went "bing." I kinda like that it's taking this new form of properly keeping daemons on short leashes.

I'm at the halfway point, and she's pointing out how Riker would have burned the galaxy down before he let his son die of a curable disease, and my jaw is on the floor, because goddamn, she's right.

  149. I'm sure it's at least partially a function of the era he worked during, but I also have never heard a single word negative about Maxwell—not that he was abusive towards his spouse or had inappropriate relations with a student or blood relative, not that he was a eugenicist or anti-suffrage, not even that he undermined a rival's career.

  156. Just finished my systems audit. As expected, half (Debian, elementary and SteamOS) were using an old xz (5.2), and the other half are Arch, which don't build from source tars. Looks like very few real-world systems were actually compromised, thanks to how quickly this was caught. Thanks for covering this, Brodie!

  159. This takes me back. I wrote the numerical simulations for my PhD in CUDA, back in 2010-13. I don't even remember the API back then giving you per-thread / non-global memory aside from the thread ID. And there were so few GPGPUs out in the wild that the guides and forums for writing well-optimized CUDA code were simply not there. I haven't touched an Nvidia GPU since then, but videos like this definitely make me want to pick one up just to dust off those brain gears.

  172. I'm pretty sure his April Fools video gave at least three "X12" developers fatal aneurisms.
    42
  173. The thing to remember here is that COSMIC is meant to be a lot more newbie-friendly and batteries-included than KDE (and certainly Hyprland/Sway). As such, I'm fine with them being opinionated even if I don't always agree with those opinions. That said: I hope that the smithay compositor supports everything you're noting and that eventually we get a "COSMIC Tweaks" application that lets advanced users customize these behaviors.

  174. Sadly, as she says at 13:55, it doesn't go to the "the bestest brain in the world" so no prize for Angela. 😡

  175. Since this episode aired, not only have we lost Gilbert Gottfried's mellifluous voice, but NBC4's Pat Collins has retired.

  176. Thank you for acknowledging the optimism of DS9. And it is optimistic—despite all the terrible things that happen, freedom prevails over tyranny, the darkness is dragged into the light, and besides: there's always baseball. And I don't even like baseball.

  180. Jennifer was the MVP. Not proud of this, but I totally had her pegged as a stereotypical "mom" car owner. She did a really convincing job of selling the Subie (although I should have realized she was pretty savvy when she gave the vape flavor answer).
    39
  181. Fun fact: AMD's XDNA "NPUs" are (most likely) Xilinx FPGAs, which, if we ever get a Linux SDK, will make those chips incredible for retro console gaming.
    39
  182. Another experiment shooting holes (🥁) in Dirac's Hole Theory! I love how you explain the need for experiments when the math says something is "not not allowed." Also: cool to see a shout-out to William Fairbank. His wife, Jane Davenport, was also an accomplished physicist—I know a decent amount about them because their son is the CEO of my former employer, Capital One.
    38
  183. While I have been thoroughly impressed by the M1 macbooks (and have felt strongly that the bloated macOS is what's holding it back), the fact remains that macs—laptop and desktop—are NUSPIs¹ to a degree that even Dell and Lenovo could scarcely dream of. Guarantee that if your screen goes bad or your touchpad disconnects, Apple will refuse to touch it if they turn it on and see a KDE splash screen. ¹No User Serviceable Parts Inside
    38
  184. The only thing that could make that story better would be Eric Cornell himself popping up in the comments like, "Hey Angela, been watching you for years. I totally remember that day, and I feel like such a jerk."
    38
  185. It would be cool if there were casual users doing The Linux Challenge. Like, imagine System76 mailing out fully loaded Thelio desktops to a bunch of content creators and streaming influencers. That would be huge.
    38
  186. Let's not forget the time he invited Naomi Wu to meet him at his hotel or how he threatened an ex-employee with a defamation lawsuit. Linus is not someone I would ever want to work for or work with. But he did invest in and promote Framework, he did publish a video about Switch emulation and he did rescue Riley Murdock from the NCIX dumpsters.

  190.  @Eskoxo  What are you, a mac user? Heck, uninstalling on a mac isn't even that easy—Adobe software works its little tendrils all through your operating system, changing extensions defaults, cluttering up your registry, setting up autoupdate and phone-home daemons and collecting who knows what telemetry.
    37
  191. Can't un-ring the bell, though. When JD breaks interop in the next update, it's no longer "pure paranoia" that it was done intentionally. And not only might this empower a friendly AG to subpoena their internal communications, but it might motivate (or shame) lawmakers to pass more stringent interoperability regulations.
    36
  192. Remember that while it was pre-2022, it was post-2014. It was never a matter of if Russia was going to try to annex Ukraine, but when.
    36
  193. My undergrad taught (teaches?) QM before E&M, so my Physics 240 professor straightaway went, "except we all know that magnets are actually spinny bois" and everyone just nodded along. Except me, who was taking the course as a freshman before taking Quantum in the second semester. So I remember fixating like Angela did and trying to work out the limit as r went to zero without QM like Griffiths' collaborator is doing. That class was a ball and a half, and I don't think I ever felt more meaningfully challenged, before or since, but damn if I wasn't a problem student.
    36
  194. We thought the Primagen interview was a big deal. Imagine if Brodie got to talk with Rossmann for two hours!
    36
  195. I read that the creator of of Xvi had switched to vim years ago. No greater praise for a project than your rival switching to using your software. ESC+:q, Bram. You will be missed.
    36
  196. Quick note--the name comes from _The Gumball Rally_, a 1976 comedy portrayal of the Cannnonball. Not to be confused with _Cannonball_, a 1976 comedy portrayal of the Cannnonball. Or _Cannonball Run_, the 1981 comedy portrayal that starred Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Jackie Chan, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Dom Deluise,..., and Brock Yates himself.
    35
  197. Pretty sure every company that practices SAFe ends up doing this. I worked for a company that spent millions on agile trainings, millions more on switching us all to SAFe... and then fired every single agile delivery lead.
    35
  198. Remember that the whole "hard r" episode came about because Linus was saying he had used that language in the past but had grown as a person such that he doesn't anymore. He implied that he hadn't used that word in decades. That was a lie.
    35
  199. Steam games only have DRM if the publisher insists on it—plenty of classic games I've purchased work just fine outside of the Steam launcher, and I'm on Linux where you'd assume that Proton and Steam-Runtime would have us by the berries.
    35
  200. Right?? Everyone knows Milwaukee, aka "North Chicago" is in Illinois!
    34
  201. "AI" is a meaningless buzzword. Pre-trained transformers and foundation models have legit useful profitable applications, but it's more because it's allowed capabilities that used to be reserved for supercomputing clusters to be commoditized to running in your garden-variety cloud, not because the models of today are "smarter" than they were five years ago.
    34
  202. I love that how this has become her signature at this point—the anti-clickbait title.
    34
  203. With all of the Proboscidian recreations I've seen¹, I'm not sure why it never clicked for me before that elephant trunks didn't grow as much as lower jaws shrunk compared to its direct ancestors. Mind. Blown. ¹Shout-out for my shovel-faced son Platybeladon at 4:13
    34
  204. Vaxry's "normies don't care about tiling" line reeks of gatekeeping, and it's also patently false. I love tiling, but I don't know enough about what I love about it to properly write a good config for every system (Hyprland on the Steam Deck is 🐐ed, but I never got a good flow on a desktop). tl;dr—there's a clear niche for an opinionated tiler, and System76 is filling it.
    33
  205. I'm sure he didn't originate the concept, but The Cat Who Walked Through Walls was Heinlein going full Multiverse, so this checks out.
    33
  206. There's an episode of The IT Crowd where our heroes accidentally get trapped next to a bomb-diffusing robot, which locks up, leading to the following interaction: IT worker: "What operating system is it running?" Police officer: "Vista!" IT worker: "I'm going to die!"
    33
  207. Oh God. I swear there's a show that does this. The only way for the character to break out of the loop was to just sit back and let all the bad things happen inside their pocket universe. I remember it being really heart-wrenching, and I wish I could remember which show it was from. Edit: It was Dollhouse.
    33
  208. People around me have been pushing "natural language code gen" for a while now in the data analysis space, to which I say—anyone who can execute a clear and unambiguous data ask using natural language more efficiently than they can construct the ideal SQL query or DataFrame op is a savant, of one form or another.

  212. In this case, it's more like: "We used to slap a body kit and a new badge on a Nissan Sentra, but now we want to build our own car. "Building a car from scratch is hard, so instead we found this woman building the Planet Express Ship and brought her on board. "Sure, our users don't need to visit The Moon or Atlantis Atlanta, but aside from the clingy, possessive alcoholic autopilot, it's actually a really good basis for a daily driver."
    32
  213. ​ @systemchris Damn, I just started learning Rust. Maybe if I just grow my neckbeard out a little thicker people will just assume it's a fursuit?
    32
  214. Wait, I've seen this design before in shipping crates. Wedge a ribbon in between two metal plates so that if the package is dropped or mishandled, the ribbon is cut, thus alerting the receiver that FedUps might have broken their gizmo. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this was an intentional design so they could tell users, "You clearly dropped it. Too bad you didn't spring for drop protection..."
    32
  215. It'll be interesting to see if they get "Sherlocked" the same way the gigachads at CodeWeavers got shafted when Apple: 1. took CW's open source work on WINE 2. rolled out an extremely lazy (but officially supported) DX-to-Metal translation layer 3. And made CodeWeavers' product in that space obsolete overnight.
    32
  216. Worst part of the whole "Frontier Day" idiocy: every single Streaming-era Trek had just done this "ships automated and connected turning against us" climax: - the battle vs. Control in Discovery S02 (aka Strange New Worlds Season Zero) - the Texas Class going rogue in Lower Decks - the Living Construct in the otherwise unimpeachable Prodigy - oh yeah, and S02E01 of Picard which was even explicitly because they were using Borg tech The idea that anyone proposing "Fleet Formation" wouldn't be executed for treason on sight by the end of beginning of Picard is a suspension of disbelief I cannot make.
    32
  217. elementaryOS Stan here. Pantheon is the definition of a DE that does its job and gets out of your way. It's for people who loved OSX but think macOS is waay too busy. The main problem with it right now is that the development team is tiny, and they're rebuilding the DE from the ground-up to work with Wayland, so the current stable version is still based on Ubuntu 22.04, while the Arch packages break fairly often. That said: elementaryOS 8 is nearing the finish line, and I'm pretty psyched to see how it compares to COSMIC Alpha.
    31
  218. "A Trekkie's Tale" was explicit parody, written by a fanzine contributor (editor?) PaulA [sic] Smith who was fed up with the scourge of similar stories being published. The full text is only about a page long, and I encourage you to look it up, because it's a hilarious read.

  219. I was so excited for the return of the old format that I totally forgot what made that old format great!

  220. You're both much more forgiving and much harsher to your employees than I could ever be. Holy Moses, if Chris survives this, in 20 years when he's running his own shop, he's going to tell his employees about the worst fuckup of his life.
    31
  221.  @kwinzman  Interesting. Have you looked into custom-fabbing your own? If you don't have a 3D printer, there are plenty of makerspaces around that will let you rent time on theirs, not to mention online services.

  222. haha, I knew about these beauties from Joey "Call Me The Lamp" Josselson's channel, where he keeps several varieties. It's really cool to get a deep dive of the science behind these incredible snakes. Bonus shout-out of the appearance of the "judgemental shoelace" at 5:40

    30
  226. I know enough C to know that I should leave C to the people who know how how to write C. For example, a large part of my PhD work regarded matrix multiplication. I wrote a multicore version in C, an extremely multicore version in CUDA... and then ended up mostly using numpy on a single thread to take advantage of the hundreds of collective lifetimes the numpy authors had spent on optimization tricks and algorithmic shortcuts.

  241. I don't think you're quite appreciating how small a square foot is. One acre is 43,560 square feet. Let's say that all of these businesses combined, and over their lifetimes (bear in mind that there's no way anyone was doing large volumes of this in the '90s) comes out to 10MM square feet. That's just 230 acres of Scottish woodlands, and almost certainly consists of oddly-shaped plots between other properties that hold no market value. I'm not saying that no one is double-selling land allocations, because greed, but there's really no need for anyone to do so.

  245. Guy mostly works on Postgres. Compared to DB vulnerabilities, running point on this probably didn't even raise his blood pressure.
    28
  246. This is largely the point he makes. Equivalent exchanges arose in cities with temples and in long-distance or spontaneous transactions between strangers. Bear in mind that it's only very recently (as in, literally, 2007) that the majority of humans have lived in urban as opposed to rural communities. The point of this video is also to consider whether there are other ways this system could be scaled. I know the "C" word is verboten in many circles, but one need only look to Star Trek to imagine how a system of gift-giving could be extrapolated to a galactic scale when large pockets of it exist in post-scarcity conditions.

  247. ​ @caron27 The reason to pay for RHEL was support--if you needed a mainframe set up to do a certain thing, they'd deploy and manage the solution for you so that you weren't utterly at the mercy of the weirdo in sub-basement six who built and maintains a custom stack that nobody understands and that breaks every time they go on vacation. What IBM's reacting to now is that companies aren't using mainframes any more--they're putting everything on VPCs and abstracting their code into microprocesses running in containers that don't care if they're running on RHEL, Ubuntu or Biebian. In that world, the people you're paying for support are AWS or Azure, not RedHat. This is a last, desperate grasp for profitability from RedHat, and all it's going to do is hasten their demise at the hands of their parent company.

  248. This was a great reminder about effective strategies for allyship. Any of the other ten guys in the room could have made the response she described, and it wouldn't have even seemed like White Knighting. That they turned to her was definitely motivated by empathy, but the effect is the same as what happened to you.

  250. I unsubscribed from the LTT main channel after the waterblock thing and from everything featuring Linus after their response to GN. The two channels I still watched were GameLinked and TechLinked, not just for Jeff Geerling's son, but more for Jakob and Jessica, the two best writers they ever had. Had. Because they were laid off (along with Horst of MacAddress) a week after Linus talked on the WAN show about how LMG was doing record numbers. Linus is a garbage human being, and that whole company is a rotting fish. They can't fall into irrelevance soon enough.

Sure, you're hoofing it with an enormous population including children and old folks, but you're telling me they couldn't do even a mile a day and be there within a year? It's not like they're having to stop for food--they're being followed around by a tornado that's literally chucking snacks at them.

  271. It's also like, how exactly was it determined that he'd only eat humans? He's half bovine--I can totally imagine that he would have happily subsisted grazing in a large field, but his jerk of an adopted father was like, "No royal prince will be caught eating grass! No, let's use him to keep our vassal-states in line!"
    25
  272. I was introduced to Daniel Dae Kim, not from his character in Lost, but from his stellar portrayal of telepathic first officer Lt. John Matheson in the Babylon 5 spinoff Crusade. Which made it even more hilarious for me to see everyone's shocked reactions when his character in Lost revealed he spoke fluent English!

  276. Hey Angela, regarding bars—I found this excellent paper on ArXiv entitled "How to Flip a Bar" that demonstrates how galactic bars can reverse their rotational direction. It was a really awesome read—super clear, well-written and with excellent figures. Plus, I hear the primary author has a YouTube channel now where she expertly communicates scientific concepts despite not being a science communicator. 😛

  283. Fun fact: your original video on rootfull XWayland is what brought me to your channel (not many resources on the subject). I was trying to run Pantheon (Gala) on the Steam Deck in Gaming Mode. Never got it working (ended up settling for sway), but it was quite a brainfudge trying to make sense of the stack, and your video helped me more than any other resource.

  292. It's partially a reaction to the Rust fanbois—who, in my experience, are an entirely separate group from the folks who are actually proficient in Rust. It's a case of the 5% most obnoxious members of a group arguing with another group and not realizing that the only people arguing back are the 5% of that group.
    23
  293. Danielle Foré also announced a few days ago that elementaryOS 8 (due out in late 2024) will be Wayland. And critically, even if you don't care about Pantheon, that means they're working on a new dock.

  295. ​​ @Katieushka They said barely understand. Big difference. I'd argue that to grok what she's saying, you'd have to take a few semesters of undergraduate physics, so the fact that a non- or semi-technical audience can get the gist while also feeling entertained is a compliment.

To start, the way that Victor describes Adam upon first seeing him is exactly how Mary Wollstonecraft described her daughter in her diary before dying. That sort of thing is bound to truck you up.

  300. Ooh, I remember "The Hare and the Pineapple!"¹ There's a lot of nuance to the incident, as the initial reporting was based on students' imperfect recollections of the exam. At the end of the day, you can find the passage—as well as its original form as written by Daniel Pinkwater²—and decide for yourself how fair of an assessment it was. ¹Possibly from the first time I watched this episode, lol ²Pinkwater was, to put it mildly, miffed that he became, briefly, the face of ridiculous standardized testing. It's worth reading his interview with NPR.

  312. ​ @darkdragoness5 It's worth putting in context that just because the behavior was observed doesn't make it common and definitely not worth condemning an entire species—like with the seal-violating otters, it was some juveniles, and may have been triggered by environmental stress.
    21
  313. Modularity, bro. Imagine if a 9.8 Severity CVE was found in is-odd that, due to an integer overflow, would incorrectly return false if a sufficiently large odd number were provided. By having is-odd separated, users who only need to check for evenness are kept safe. Because internet: this is a joke based on Brodie's last video.

  314. Arch users to each other: "Is that how annoying we've sounded all this time?"
    20
  315.  @akumasstorytime3910  Ah, okay. So it's more of a Star Wars VII-IX situation where a different writer was brought in to bank on the earlier commercial success (Cineathon or Musaeus, though Sophocles himself was eventually brought in to do a rewrite). I'm being tongue-in-cheek here, but as another commenter in a different thread explains, The Odyssey has continuously frustrated historians who have tried to tie it to actual places or events, and there's a theory that the original story of Odysseus' homecoming was repurposed for Menelaus, to give him a coda, and that the tales in the Odyssey were riffs from the Argonautica that is, itself, analogous to an Avengers film for the Hellenist Pantheonic Universe.
    20
  316. That's good historical context, but the "working in mills" of 2024 is "working in Silicon Fabs." That is, our economy today depends on highly skilled, qualified labor. My example wasn't pulled out of the aether—something you'll notice is that companies like Intel, TSMC is that they chased the promise of tax breaks out to Red states like Arizona, and now they're complaining they can't find enough qualified employees to build—let alone staff—those facilities. And, as Angela said, good luck recruiting people to move to states where they wouldn't have bodily autonomy. My point: if "conservatives" really cared about strengthening the economy instead of picking divisive "culture wars," they would be competing with Progressives to fund schools.

  317. I recognize some good Cognitive / Dialectical Behavioral Therapy when I hear it. I respect that it doesn't work for everyone, but I am privileged that it's a helpful tool in my emotional resiliency arsenal.

  318.  @Alfenheimer  Yes... gatekeeping participation in democracy is a great idea that has never been tried before and has certainly never led to systemic oppression, cronyism or general corruption.

  319. In the early days they definitely used a distinctive box that was covered with Portal memes. They switched to nondescript packaging after reports of unscrupulous delivery drivers stealing the devices.
    20
  320. Eh. The migration system could be a script that users run exactly once. I'm usually against breaking backwards compatibility, especially without a deprecation window, but when your design is this bad, it's fine (and it's even fine by semver if you save the change for a major release).
    19
  321. IDK—it's easier to switch from Windows to Linux than it is to switch off the Adobe suite. Forgetting that professionals have decades of files in their proprietary formats, Photoshop and GIMP (or Premiere Pro and Resolve) are so completely different, switching stacks is basically starting from zero. Just as we saw with the Pantone charlie foxtrot they have creatives by the cojones.
    19
  322. Good to see you mention Decky as an essential. CryoUtilities is the other one. I'm also hoping that you do a video exploring Nix on the Steam Deck. I have Hyprland as a non-Steam game, and Steam Input + Tiling WM = OP
    19
  323. That was my takeaway too! Yeah, he was ignorant about it, but his confusion was at the terminology—if he'd written the story, it seems like he'd have just said "woman" with no further questions.

  325. Reminds me of Brodie's "bad software licenses" video. I wonder if there's one that says, "You may redistribute this software on the sole condition that you do so under proprietary and non-free terms, with no attribution to the original author or inclusion of this license."
    19
  326. I'd like to think that Feynman relayed that story with a winking sarcasm or that Leighton recorded it with dramatic irony, but nothing in what we know of either man suggests they possessed any degree of self-awareness.
    19
  327. ... combined with the "Don't touch my Pepsi!" moment too. I feel like this must be a metaphor for some proprietary blob that's included with all but the hardest-line FOSS distributions, but I'm not sure what.
    19
  328. How could Dulcé ever not love herself? She is a queen!

  329. When I clicked and when you said Intel, I thought this was going to be about Pathfinder, Intel's RISC-V project that only ever existed inside their "Simics" simulator (is that somehow distinct from an emulator?)

  331. My company has an internal "academy" of self-guided training courses written by actual, practicing, in-house data scientists. Small Data Problems is a "prerequisite" of Big Data Problems.
    19
  332. Mostly agree, but there are definitely bits that make zero sense outside of it being a history book. The genealogies, for instance, which are literally a dry list of names. There's also some accounts of historical events that have absolutely no decipherable moral message. The conclusion I draw is that it was multiple authors scrambling to cobble together as much ancient knowledge as they could before it was lost forever and who were determined to leave nothing on the cutting room floor. This would explain why Genesis contains two separate and contradictory creation myths and why so much of the content is far from internally self-consistent.

  335. Definitely send her a link to the video along with a "😬" emoji...
    19
  336. Thank you for the tireless work. I hope you have some inkling of how much joy you've provided to people using your WM. There are DEs that are inoffensive and just stay out of the way, but that's not Hyprland—Hyprland is positively a delight to use (for me, specifically on the Steam Deck). I'll try to contribute where I can—I've written C++ before, but I'll probably be more useful contributing to the documentation. Again, thank you so much for your hard work, and, more importantly, thank you for having the courage to speak up and ask for help when you felt the grind was getting to be too much.

  337. In 2010 or 2023 it's still the most DC thing for elected officials to want to sink millions into a new transit project than actually fund the existing DC Metro and bus system.

  339. When Minecraft added Armadillos to the game this year, I was one of the people in the comments saying, "Who's gonna tell them?" But fact checks like this shut me up. I still think Mojang could have done more good (re: awareness and conservation) by adding Pangolins instead, but I'm happy to see the turtle-rabbits, nonetheless.

  347. I'm sure there are very real and very scary edge cases where this is a real danger, but realistically the economics aren't there for a bad actor to harvest massive amounts of data and sit on it—paying for storage!—for over a decade, hoping they aren't discovering or the data invalidated in the meantime.

  348. Ugh. I liked The Onion before they got all political. What happened to their silly shorts with the AI generated voices talking over Subway Surfers footage? Go back to that. ...said no one ever.
    18
  349.  @s1v7  true. I'm just being a pendant
    18
  350. Yeah, Brodie didn't really acknowledge how much Hyprland emphasizes Discord as a support forum. While my personal take is that Discord is a garbage platform to use as a support forum, even Minecraft is using it as their official feedback "site" now, so I think I've lost that battle...
    18
  351. ​ @cameronbosch1213 But how much of RHEL is v3 as opposed to v2?

  352. FWIW, even though I've been programming for over 20 years, I had no idea before this week what a "stack overflow" actually was. How embarrassing for me. 😅
    18
  353. That's pretty much standard practice, though—pretty much all my AP teachers (back in the early aughts) had done at least one year of grading for College Board, which helped them teach us the difference between a 3 and a 4. The fact that they all, without exception, found room to teach us content of value that I still remember to this day is a true testament to their dedication as educators and to the quality of my public high school.
    17
  354. Yeah, if Google actually did anything with their user reporting data, the comments for this video wouldn't include an obvious pornbot.
    17
  355. I recognize this video was released pre-She Hulk, but Jen Walters deserves placement as well.
    17
  356. She was explicitly an over-the-top parody, lampooning what was at that point a pretty established pattern in fanfic literature. It's weird, because Red does say that at the start, but the rest of the episode she seems to take Mary at face value.
    17
  357. ​ @yourlinuxguy Yep. To really turn the screw, in their exit interview they'll tell you they're letting you go because you're not "delivering your own results" and point to your mentees as paragons of productivity.

  359. Are you sure you're not conflating this with another issue? I'm not finding a recent bug report on the repo, and jedenatska explicitly recommends using dry-run as a way to safely repro the "bug."
    17
  360. Pat "80386" Gelsinger recently made some noise about how CUDA's proprietary API needed to die. My hope is that Intel starts contributing to ROCm and HIP and picking up AMD's slack when it comes to documentation and compatibility. Throwing some developers at ZLUDA wouldn't hurt, either.
    17
  361.  @reilandeubank  Idk, I feel like I'm seeing a significant rise of "Linux first, Mac second, Windows eventually" tools in the software development space. It's significantly easier to get PyTorch running on Linux. Same with anything that interfaces with a local webserver.
    17
  362. I see reddit returning to its pre-Swartz roots: an empty site populated exclusively by bots deployed to make the site appealing to investors.
    17
  363. Weird. When I watched this episode few hours ago, I could have sworn she was cosplaying as Faris NyanNyan. Does this have anything to do with that weird txt I got last week?

  365. It's a thing with these billionaires. Bezos famously loved The Expanse; every week we hear about a new start-up inspired by a Black Mirror episode; heck, Zuck named it the flipping Metaverse after Snow Crash.
    17
  366. ​ @lua-nya It was good, though. It did its job and otherwise stayed out of the way. Especially coming off the heels of the bloatfest that was Vista. Then again, take what I say with a grain of salt—I was on Hardy Heron when it dropped and Trusy Tahr when it was discontinued, so I only ever used it in a VM.
    17
  367. I recently learned that that quote is taken out of context. Basically, Churchill said: "There are those who say [famous quote] but I strongly believe Democracy is the Bee's Knees and something truly special."

  376. Eh. Jensen wants you to believe that you need to pay him a fortune for a 4090 and sell your kidney to afford the power bill, but the truth is, not really. I've run Stable Diffusion XL and Mistral 7B on my local computer, which, sure, has 128GB of RAM, but only a 12GB last-gen Radeon GPU. Hooked up a kill-a-watt, crunched some numbers, I can answer maybe a dozen proompts for about $0.14 in electricity. Sure, GPT-4 Turbo, Sora and Gemini are an order or magnitude or two more expensive, but they're also running on dedicated (and thus, higher efficiency) server hardware. There are plenty of reasons to be anti-AI, but environmental impact isn't one of them, especially since, once people realize that these capabilities are massively over-hyped, the demand is going to be nowhere near the numbers that Altman and Huang are forecasting.

  378. The YouTube submission system already has dropdowns for settings like license, caption certs and embedding settings—having a per-upload toggle to set permissible uses would be incredibly seamless, and most people would gladly opt their content into being included in model datasets, especially if there was at least a token amount of revenue-sharing.
    16
  379. They were also open about the reason they did it: it wasn't to give Seven a strong motivation —they could have done that in other ways—it was to stick it to Manu Intiraymi for some stupid stuff he posted (and apologized for) on Twitter.

  385. Your criticisms were valid. You weren't pointing to open issues on their TODO—your focus was on wontfixes. The only thing I thought was premature was workspaces—it's clear that's something they're iterating on (case in my point: on my multimonitor tiling setup, moving a window to another workspace just got 2x harder in the latest alpha) and where I think we should let them cook for a bit longer.

  387. Minecraft Java is de facto "source available," as Mojang even publishes their own de-obfuscators. I don't know if this has ever been legally codified, but their attitude has been: "You can alter the code" (through mods) "as long as you don't publish the original code, and as long as you don't sell your mods," and even that last bit hadn't been enforced, as a bunch of mods these days are locked down—either in early access or completely—behind Patreon paywalls.

By the time I was learning classical mechanics, we were all about doing the coordinate transformations to derive centrifugal and coriolis forces. Now, was that due to me making the jump to college / major physics? Definitely Maybe. But I'd like to think it was because I graduated high school in 2005, right around the time that xkcd came out.

  420. A big project should never have only one owner, though. GH is really good about managing repo rights, where there's a really good slope from "trusted contributor" all the way to "admin."
    14
  421. Feel like that ties in really well with the "Berserker" SF trope (the forebearer and special case of the Dark Forest hypothesis).
    14
  422. The thing is that Valve, moreso than even Canonical, benefit the most from widescale adoption—every copy of Steam running on a system is a built-in revenue stream, even from people like me who mostly plays flatpak games on his Steam Deck—and minimizing their dependence on Microsol's stack is a huge mitigation of an existential risk.

    13
  433. Yeah, that's frustratingly irresponsible. No matter how much of an Arch fanboi someone is, there should be a consensus that recommendations for Baby's First Linux should be something: - stable - with batteries included - with a large userbase - with a "try-before-you-buy" LiveCD
    13
  434. Which version, though? The Linux kernel is v2, and as I understand it this sort of shenanigans is exactly why v3 was written.

  437. Many editions of The Planets you could buy on CD before 2006 include "Pluto—The Renewer" by Colin Mathews. I was 19 in 2006, and I was strongly in favor of Pluto's demotion strictly on the basis of it not being part of Holst's canon.
    13
  438. Wait, isn't that the backstory of the main antagonists from Life, the Universe and Everything?
    13
  439. Props for explaining the visual encoder. It seemed like such a waste to think they were just diffusing every image of every frame, and this approach makes a lot more sense. If I were designing a transformer model to generate videos, I'd take a full step back and basically train it to interface with Blender. That is, have the model outputs decode to models with articulation; lighting rigs; textures; paths and physics, then use conventional rendering to turn that into video. Way better use of computing than requiring these models to synethesize unconstrained.
    13
  440. Hard disagree. Most of us have already heard the Wrong, and getting the ahcshully chaser follows the common debunking format my brain (at least) has come to expect from Miniminuteman, AstroAlexandra, Dr. Mike, etc. It's also an effective way to prime the audience to debunk that misinformation themselves when they encounter it in other places.

  442. Let Jeff get that bag. Literally everything in this video can be implemented with completely open stacks. It's no different than SageMaker except that with NIM there are a few less middlemen between you and Jensen's jacket supplier.
    13
  443. A theme I've found—really since Alpha 1—is that each new COSMIC release is less stable, with more serious issues, while being more "feature complete." Glad to know it's not just me. Also: the new problems in Alpha 5 are just strange: - Minecraft (and only Minecraft?) will minimize itself when in full-screen and I move the cursor to my second display (to, say, start OBS). - Steam fully seizes my computer in that "not-a-Kernel Panic" state that Brodie covered a few Alphas ago.
    13
  444. ​ @STSWB5SG1FAN Sadly, no. But at least they didn't starve to death—they froze.

  445. I'm glad they finally pulled the plug. And I'm glad you're doing a video on it so I don't have to do my own research into which of the many forks, rewrites and alternatives to switch to.
    12
  446. I'd go a step further: unless you're a security dev, you shouldn't be writing parsers for user inputs, you should be installing a battle-hardened library to do it for you. Many languages even have this sort of stuff built-in, like Python's os.getpass() and urllib.parse(). Because (again, unless you do this for a living) there is an approximately 0⃣% chance that your code is going to do a better job at protecting you from attacks you haven't even thought of than something that hackers of all hats are devoting their careers to trying to exploit.
    12
  447. Garbage docs (and the fact that they seem to change their recommended CLI twice a year) is the reason I hesitate to recommend nix, even as a package manager, even though it's opened up so much for me on the Steam Deck.

Sure, no matter how many segments I watch, I'm still not downloading Raid: Shadow Legends or signing up for ExpressVPN, but there are quite a few products and subscriptions that I've found out about because they took the time to find a creator who catered to their target niche. If YouTube had positioned themselves as the middleman and leveraged their giant recommendation engine as the way they earned their x% cut, literally everybody would have won.

  488. This is what made Debian a nonstarter for me for a decade. But nowadays with flatpak, Nix and distrobox, you really can have a host system that is rock stable while running the latest & greatest on top. That said, Hyprland >0.32 installed via Nix on top of SteamOS isn't working on my system, seemingly due to mismatches between the compiled and present versions of MESA, so take my comment with a grain of salt.

  489. Look—I lust over McLarens, but they are very British supercars. When Hill told the officer not to bang on his window, that was because the frame has incredibly tight tolerances and costs obscene amounts to fix. Further, when the Window only rolls down a crack, there's a distinct possibility that was because it jammed, likely due to the officer's abuse.
    11
  490. This. When I got a Windows laptop for work, I spent more time in the terminal tweaking things and getting software running than I did outside. And it took me far more time and frustration than to set up my next work computer—a completely blank Framework that I loaded with elementaryOS.

  508. I think about this issue constantly in every project I author—what is the risk/reward in adding another dependency? How difficult would it be to swap out or remove that dependency entirely? If it's the most efficient implementation of a mature compression protocol, I'm going to copy a static version of the source into my tree or advocate for it to get added to the stdlib. If it's one of the billion single-purpose libraries designed to wrap a simple API request, I'd rather rewrite it myself and know how it works. The only time I add an unpinned dependency is when the project has an exciting roadmap and a solid team behind it, and even then, you better bet I'm opening bug reports and writing PRs.

All I will say is that Brent Spiner does return (as different characters) for all three seasons and that Data's legacy is felt throughout.

Generated a lot of hype about workhorse EVs 2. Made some godawful design decisions that everyone who had been around longer would have told them not to do 3.

Because SAFe itself actually has a lot of advantages over Scrum, namely in forcing the physical separation of product management and product ownership and in coordination of related workstreams. But if your company is just using SAFe as an opportunity for the SVP to schedule a bunch more multi-day all-hands, then the issue isn't the practice, it's the practitioner. And as I finish typing that out I'm realizing that my argument is essentially the same as "True communism has never been attempted," so just gonna sit with that for a sec.

  556. On the contrary, I doubt it's really that high. The losses to the content creators media-owning conglomerates is in terms of sales they didn't make or ads they didn't serve. So every season of The Office pirated isn't equivalent to the sale of a $20 DVD box set, because only a small fraction of users who downloaded the show would have paid for it otherwise. Plus, pirating has actually helped some pieces of entertainment by keeping interest alive or by demonstrating a market in an unserved area. Take, for example, Top Gear, whose worldwide success is openly acknowledged as due to piracy, and Dexter's Laboratory, which just this year got DVD release despite the show having ended years before many of the kids watching it today were even born.

And if you absolish education requirements, you're putting at risk the immigration status of the people you brought in on those visas. tl;dr—America's garbage immigration system ruins everything

Roughly 4% of the world's human population is American (and your qualifiers would also apply to much of the animal kingdom besides). So if you have ayes and ears and are capable of independent rational thinking, you're almost certainly not American, but, again, that's less of a political statement and more one of demography.

  649. I actually applaud Canonical* for aiming for a default installation that targets providing 90% of users with 90% of the software they need. IMO, the default suite should contain, beyond the base "server" installation of systemd, apt, snap—fine, because we're Canonical—etc - That flavor's desktop environment with its preferred settings configurator - Graphical "software store" - File browser - Terminal emulator - bash, Python, curl, wget, git, nano and vi[m] - graphical plaintext editor (gedit/kate) - Web browser - PDF reader and CUPS printer / scanner suite - Image viewer (*not* a photo "manager") - Simple music / video player - Font manager - LibreOffice because since the majority of people still don't export documents and slide decks to PDF, users still need a way to view (if not edit) those files without uploading them to GSuite. But that's probably it. No IDE for sure, no GIMP, no Shotwell, no iTunes clone, no Steam, WINE or Lutris, and no email client, because who the heck uses an email client in 2023?! *wow, I don't say that every day

  662. As a professional data scientist, the first rule I learned developing on my company-issued mac was never use the system Python That was largely because of this dependency management shenanigans, but also because the macOS version of Python was extremely outdated at that time (tied to the fact that for corporate security reasons we were always 1-2 OS releases behind the latest from Cupertino). Honestly, the first thing I usually do on any system is install mambaforge and edit my bashrc to auto-activate the base environment. That's a habit I've had to unlearn with Arch given just how many build scripts in the AUR use the session's Python executable rather than explicitly specifying to use the system Python.

  663. Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge / Haswell were ridiculously good chips. My 4790K scores similarly in single-core benches to my OC'd 5900X¹.

  674. He literally can't! It's copyleft, and nothing anyone can do could change that! For example, there are arguments for why it would be better for Linux to be licensed under GPLv3 instead of v2. I think Linus is nominally against it, but he's even said it doesn't matter because he'd have to get approval from every single contributor or rewrite from scratch any code written by the hold-outs.

  676. SteamOS (Holo) vs. Android is a great case study, because both are largely FOSS and designed for a specific purpose with optimizations for specific hardware. But whereas Google decided to reinvent the wheel and focus all open source development on AOSP, which they tightly controlled, Valve pumped money into existing community solutions like Wayland, WINE, dxvk and gamescope. I remember when Android hit the scene I was convinced that it would drive Linux adoption as people realized that there was life outside of Microsol. But outside of some extremely niche projects, doing Android things on a computer is either not possible or _just bad_. Meanwhile, I respond to 2-3 reddit posts a day from people who want the Steam Deck experience on their NUC or laptop and tell them, "Nono, put that HoloISO away and go download ChimeraOS which took all the best parts of SteamOS and put it in an operating system that will work for everyone."

  677. Ooh, I hope there's a good port for Portal when I get my first BCI—the combination of precision movements, perfectly sloped learning curve and lack of timed challenges (aside from the last boss fight) made it perfect when I first learned WASD and then again when I learned to use my Steam Deck.

  697. She covered this in depth in another video, and while I was initially pretty... defensive? about the interpretation, because—hey, the math works—her larger point about "unphysical" solutions to equations (like Dirac Holes) has ultimately won me over and disabused me of much of my juvenile Feynman Fanboism.

  699. I daily drive Arch with COSMIC, but mostly because I enjoy pain. My "default applications" are not respected; COSMIC Files sucks, but Nautilus (and a few other GTK applications) are completely nonresponsive under COSMIC; screen capture works, but only if I log out and then log back in; and then there are the memory leaks and the random crashes caused by windows entering and exiting fullscreen. Plenty I love about it—as I said, it's good enough for me to daily—but I wouldn't recommend it in this state to a normie.
    6
  700. The fact that everyone's jumping onto Wayland—even / especially stalwarts like Fedora—is extremely promising. These aren't just niche/expert distributions anymore. And since all this development is happening out in the open, it's not like these distros are going to ship in broken states—if Wayland hits a critical blocker, then we'll see people walk this back.

  702.  @zeyadkenawi8268  Yes, but for Alma and Rocky, losing even a single component (especially when that component is as important as the kernel) makes their projects nonviable.

  713. I think it ships with a 30W charger, which is, frankly, the lowest wattage you'll see in a PD charger these days. Since it uses PD, it will slowly recharge even connected to a 5V/1A brick.

  725. Kind of a feature not a bug, IMO, as I'm of the belief that wipe-and-reloads are good for the soul. They also breed good practices like putting your OS files in a separate partition from your user configs, which should go in a separate partition from your actual data. Learned the hard way that borked upgrades happen, and they should never prevent you from getting access to your data.

  727. Anyone claiming that their devs write 💩 code, I challenge them to do one thing: install pre-commit and an auto-linter like black or Rustfmt. I've worked with quants for a decade. From my experience, 90% of the time all you need to turn their garbage code into beautiful code is a single button-push.

  728. All-things-Flatpak has really been a game-changer. Back when I started using Linux (2006), if I wanted GNOME Mahjongg and KDE Konquest, I'd have to install both frameworks and would end up with an extremely bloated desktop where the theming was just a mess—and that's assuming I even managed to avoid Dependency Hell.

I think you'd really like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (+ 2nd Gig which scratches your itch for, "What if there was this cool SF world and they just discussed economic (and political) policy for a few hours?"). Relevantly: the primary robots are the Tachikoma spider-tanks, who, in addition to being non-humanoid (and, frankly, ADORABLE), also develop "personalities" that are very much in line with their programming while also exhibiting "emergent" behavior that felt really well thought-out. Final reason the Tachikomas would be your jam: they spend a considerable amount of screentime dissecting the various tropes you highlight. Also recommend reading / viewing: "Zima Blue" by Alastair Reynolds (or the phenomenal Love, Death & Robots adaptation).

I had assumed he was now in his sixties, having lived a hard life. Somewhere in John's attic is a painting of him that's getting younger. John makes Tim Walz look like the paragon of aging gracefully.

  740. I used to work in HR supporting recruiting and made this exact point—why should the focus be on recruiting the best (who will demand the best salaries and be at the highest risk of poaching) rather than on recruiting talent that's "good enough" while also bringing in valuable and diverse perspectives? I actually quantified this concept into a metric that could be optimized. I was shut down extremely harshly.

  746. He's egotistical, entitled and vindictive and immoral. He nearly ruined a startup by testing their waterblock on an incompatible GPU, complaining about how it didn't work, and then, when confronted, refused to retest or retract the video. He's a toxic boss who created a company with a toxic burnout culture, and while no allegations against him have ever stuck, there sure are a lot of "misunderstandings" between him and women in tech. He didn't lift a finger to out Honey (after being their #1 spokesperson), but he sure did make sure to warn all of his personal creator friends. Meanwhile, he's gone after GN and other outlets that have criticized him, claiming that their testing is inferior while his own videos are riddled with errors. Also: did you miss the part about firing his best staff after bragging about profits?

  749. I could be misremembering, but my recollection was that the whole Qt landscape was a giant mess ca 2008. Nokia had recently acquired Trolltech and was much more interested in pivoting the toolkit to support mobile. And while GTK was aggressively FOSS-first, with high-quality tools like Glade being GPL, Qt was at least toying with the idea of a "freemium" developer ecosystem. If my 15-year-old recollections are wrong, hopefully someone will correct me, but I distinctly remember consciously choosing to go the GTK+-2.0 route even though it made cross-platform development a bit jankier.

  757. The funny thing is to see it recorded. Because it's definitely SOP in corporate and government. A "reasonable accommodation" one can request for a lot of neurodivergences is auto-transcription or having access to meeting recordings. And while the ADA makes it legally a requirement for employers to allow it, I dare anyone to try to request it. The number of roadblocks and excuses you encounter will tell you everything you need to know.

  769. Part of it might be the frameworks. I haven't really played around with the SDKs since 2008, but what I remember learning Qt4 vs. GTK+-2.0 was that the APIs and (FOSS) tooling were significantly better on the GNU side (plus Qt was going through a bunch of acquisition drama that put its future in question).

  776. Brian Greene has this beautiful analogy in The Elegant Universe where he explains Special Relativity by showing how time dilation and Lorenz contraction can be derived if you think of time as a spatial dimension and all particles as having a fixed "speed" of c (with "rest" being traveling parallel to the "time" axis). I fell in love with this interpretation and solved all of my homework problems at the start of Physics 240 using this framing. My professor hated it and docked points on a few occasions, even though I kept getting the right answer. He tried explaining to me that the concept was wrong and that this was a habit I needed to break. I finally, though reluctantly, gave up, and if I hadn't, I would have been completely on my own (and likely at a dead end) if I'd tried to extrapolate the metaphor to more advanced concepts in relativity. tl;dr—thanks for the tough love, Prof. Jan Kmetko, and I'm sorry I was such a pain in the toucans as a student

  783. I downloaded a great python wrapper for ffmpeg. It uses a beautiful functional framework that lets you chain operations, and any transformation that are not implemented by the wrapper you can just pass in as additional flags into the final "run" command. So at the end of a day of reading the docs, I was able to refractor my one-page-of-solid-text ffmpeg command into: >>> import ffmpeg >>> ffmpeg.input("my_input_file.mkv") >>> ffmpeg.run("my_output_file.mkv, flags="""\ SOLID WALL OF TEXT""") Oh shoot. Got an error. Looks like the version of ffmpeg in my virtual environment wasn't compiled with the right codecs.

  785.  @MisakaMikotoDesu  I respectfully disagree, though I'm sure it's largely a matter of personal preference. To be clear, I've used OSX/macOS for work for about a decade. In my experience: tiling is clunky, notifications are cluttered; on first install the dock is disgustingly crowded; Finder is horrible, with "default applications" settings beyond non-intuitive. And while hardware is orthogonal to this conversation, I'm still incensed that we had seven whole years of "Pro" laptops without a dedicated escape key!!

  786. I'm a vocal advocate of test-driven development, where you write tests before you write the implementation. I strongly believe in implementation-driven testing, were you add more tests based on concerns you have about your code's edge conditions. I firmly enforce that bugfix contributions must add additional tests that cover the issue. I evangelize meta-tests, because nothing is worse than having a blind spot caused by your tests not testing what you think they're testing. In short, my ideal codebase is 90% test, 10% implementation.

  794. Compare with the large number of people clamoring for Valve to release SteamOS for generic hardware when ChimeraOS already exists it's clear that that OS was designed for one particular class of device.

  796. Microsol, more than any other company except maybe Google, gives the public perception of being less of a single company and more of a collection of autonomous units, fighting each other for resources. Think about how they can tease a new Xbox one week, then the next announce that Game Pass would treat consoles as second-class users. Or how Windows 11 tries desperately to increase adoption... while at the same time unnecessarily upping system requirements and shoving more ads into the taskbar.
    5
  797. My advice: go look up some old Steam Hardware Surveys and look at what the most popular build was of 2018. Now look at how many AAA games have baseline system requirements greater than that. On the GPU side, it's a few AAA games from 2023 and practically nothing from earlier. On the CPU side, you could honestly still be fine with a chip from 2013. That is all to say: it is highly unlikely that the Steam Deck won't be able to keep up over the next five years of game development, and given AMD's track record—especially on Linux—we can realistically expect the existing hardware to perform better in 2028 than it does today.

  804. COSMIC Epoch has earned its spot as my Wayland DE of choice for the foreseeable. I'm 48 hours in on running it on Arch, and it's way more functional and stable than I was expecting for an alpha release, with better multi-monitor support than I have ever had on Linux. Feels like they learned a lot from Plasma 6 in terms of what not to do in terms of keeping things flexible for multiple workflows while not burying the user in layer upon layer of confusing config. I haven't tiled on my workstation since Windows 3.1, and so far I love COSMIC's flexible hybrid approach (complete with a dock applet that lets you swap settings and reminds you of the keyboard shortcuts). Pantheon will always be my bae, and Wayland-first elementary 8 should be out in the next few weeks, but I gotta be honest—if they don't adopt the COSMIC tiler, I'm not sure I'll be switching back. That said: it's pretty funny how bad some mainstream software (GIMP, JetBrains) still is on Wayland.

  840. If your concern is large corporations running off with your software, the solution isn't non-commercial clauses, it's copyleft. I've started licensing all my projects under AGPL, which is probably the most aggressive copyleft license, as it requires anyone using your code in a SaaS context to make the full source¹ available to all users of the service, but honestly I'd be fine going even harder and forcing companies to disclose not just the changes they made to my code but the configuration settings they used to execute it. Or add a requirement enforcing the full disclosure of any data collection. None of that would limit the freedoms of people and corporations to use and further develop my software, it would just prevent them from limiting the freedoms of their customers. ¹I'm actually not sure how far that extends—does it only apply if they modify my code? Does it apply to wrappers written around my code or portions of the application that call my code as a microservice?

  858.  @JS-oh2dp  - You're right about curiosity killed the cat (that dates to a 1598 Ben Jonson play) - Bad apples originates from Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack (1736) -- "A rotten apple quickly infects its neighbor" - Blood vs water is up for debate, with some citations claiming derivation from an Arab proverb where blood refers to blood-oaths - The first recorded use of a version of "jack of all trades" dates to 1592 and was used as a term of derision referring to none other than William Shakespeare. So of the four that I "literally" just grabbed from a tublr post, two are confirmed to pre-date their shortened forms, with one up for debate. 🤷‍♂️

  865. The way I physically conceptualized the Paradox of Polarization is that each polarizer completely aborbs the photons and then re-emits new ones along its polarization axis. Do you know of anything supporting or refuting that model? I'd imagine we could test for it experimentally, as the beam of light should take slightly longer to reach its destination for each polarizer in its path.

  876. Ugh. I hear what you're saying, and you're not wrong... But ugh. And fwiw, my reaction is kind of the point--very few of us are actually paid (and paid well) to work on Open Source. So as a developer working on something in his off-time, the thing I'm working on will be geared either: - towards making my life better (solving my very esoteric customer need) - towards playing with something shiny. Nobody--and I mean nobody--wants to subject themselves to work on a faster horse and deal with the 💩 that entails.

  878. I disagree pretty strongly. I recommend elementaryOS, in spite of all your points about lack of documentation, because it doesn't need documentation—any guide written for Ubuntu, Debian or Mint will also apply to elementary. People like DT bad-mouth spins / flavors like elementary, Neptune, Ububtu Budgie, etc. because they're just other distros with some theming and configs. And, yes, that's the point. When the main thing standing in the way of someone adopting Linux is that the look and feel aren't to their liking, and there's a project that aims, for example, to be minimalist simplicity in a way that macOS hasn't been since it stopped being OSX, yeah, that's an easy recommend.

  886.  @the_kombinator  Yeah. Even if you're a cishetero white male with thick skin, LTT published a video to their own channel interviewing employees about what it's like to work there, and, even knowing that the video would be public and their bosses would see it, everyone was heavily negative about how overworked they are and how they have no time for retrospectives or fixing systemic issues. Linus is no longer CEO, and it's possible things have changed for the better, but as much as I truly love a lot of their writers (namely the Techlinked team), I wouldn't work for them even if recruited.

I asked her what happened? and she told me that Yitzhak Rabin was assasinated. I was eight—I didn't know who that was or why it was such a big deal. But over the last 28 years of bloodshed, repression and aggression I've come to deeply feel her sorrow from that moment. It's worth remembering as tens of thousands suffer and die on all sides for the crimes of a very few that there are still voices of peace who believe in the calling of תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם

  896. I'm far from being a normie—my Year of the Linux Desktop was 2006—but I feel like this might be a GNOME/Ubuntu issue. elementaryOS 8 worked out-of-the box on my last two (albeit all-AMD) installs (with Wayland working even better than X11), and I've done a lot of DE hopping on my Arch machine (also all-AMD) with zero issues like what you're describing, even when it comes to advanced stuff like virtualization or the ROCm stack.

  898. Patently untrue. Like, completely, ludicrously untrue. Since at least the mid-1800s, physics has been about stealing cutting-edge techniques from abstract mathematics and using them to account for and predict our observations. Where a conceptual framing arises, it usually comes decades later. And many (including myself) would argue that Quantum Mechanics is still just at the "useful math" stage (that is, the Copenhagen Interpretation is absurd, and Many Worlds, String Theory and the like are pure science fiction).

  899.  @cylemons8099  Oh, the guide itself is fine. The issue is that any time you have a problem with an Arch install the first question anyone will ask you is "Did you follow the install guide?" and if you say you followed, say, a YouTube tutorial, the way they'll treat you you'll wish that they'd burn you at the stake instead.

  900. Haha, yep. Just did an audit of my systems. Half are on LTS distros, and the other half are Arch, which doesn't build from source tars. Reading up on this, it looks like it compromised basically zero real-world systems due to how quickly it was caught.

That history is linear, I don't need branches, centralized would be a feature, and the save files I was going to be managing were going to be large binary blobs. I went with Git. Because there are no other mainstream VCS that are actively being maintained, and certainly none that have as much of an ecosystem and are available on pretty much every platform.

  928. Just a quick note that if you can do it by a checkbox, you should be able to do it by a config file as well—if you're, say, configuring a whole computer lab, you shouldn't need to resort to Ansible if you want push-button deployment. As an example of this done right, the OpenGApps installer has a setting to remember (or import) the last selection of Google Suite apps and services you chose. That's stored in a config file somewhere and easily ported between machines without needing to explicitly specify your full package list or sync via an Ubuntu sign-on.

So talking out of both sides of his mouth: "Everybody was already aware that they were doing this," on the one hand and "but I made sure my buddies were safe" on the other. I also didn't mention the waterblock auction because that seemed like a legitimate mistake. Everything leading up to that, though—especially the "it's not a review, just entertainment" (that will ruin this company's whole reputation) response—is valid to criticise.

  957. Yes. By default the apps are fully isolated. You can reuse shared dependencies if you ask nicely, though. I personally use conda, which works like flatpak, storing each dependency in a shared repo and then building the full virtual environment from symlinks. The pro is that you don't have 52 identical copies of the numpy stack on your system. The con is that if you don't periodically run conda clean, you end up with a TON of unused dependencies cluttering your system.

  983. I'm curious on your take regarding Strange New Worlds and "Hot Spock." I feel like the retconning showing his passionate relationship with T'Pring was a pretty bold move, and I'm personally feeling a lot of discomfort at the indications that they're taking the the current (S02) arc to explain, "And that's how Spock became aromantic."

  984. See, this is why people 💩 on economists—because they see the headline "Gifts are inefficient and a waste of money" and think, "Economists have no understanding of human psychology, it's the thought that counts, stupid!" And at no point do they read the full paper (or watch your full video) and see that: - yes, the study accounted for sentimental attachment - no, economists are not saying that the diamond stabber your grandmother gave you on her deathbed was a bad gift - that the actual argument (good gift = high mental effort; holiday season exact too high a mental toll on the average gift-giver) is something much more insightful!

OTOH, my eight year old is now editing clips in Premiere Pro (educational licenses, man), and I asked how they learned how to do a cool effect and they said, "It was just obvious." Which is not something I have ever said about kdenlive or Cinelerra. Avidemux yes, but that's not what full NLE.

  988. Rey was an author / fan insert, but so was Kylo Ren. The sequel films leaned heavily on the meta-level to tell a story about inheriting the Star Wars legacy much more than they were about writing the next chapters in the Star Wars story.

Anti-glare on the old top-tier Deck was pretty nice for gaming while touching grass, but you might want to see if anyone's done a side-by-side with the new OLED panels. 512GB + a 1TB microSD is more than enough storage for the same price as the 1TB model.

Most games were at least Bronze, even in multiplayer, and a lot of older titles were actually easier to get running in Linux than they were through Vista or Win7's "compatibility layer." Heck, I could even run iTunes, Photoshop and my Windows-only scientific software through WINE for the longest time!

    3
  1013. Yeah. One of the big learning curves for me in switching to Arch has been that build scripts for AUR packages use the tools in the environment's paths. Since I have a habit of having conda activated by default (advice on any other OS is never to use the system Python), I'd keep having builds fail (or install correctly but be unusuable) due to confusion about which dependencies existed on the system. At one point I went as far as adding: `alias yay=conda deactivate && yay` to my .bashrc

  1027. So along those lines: one of Valve's talking points with the Deck was that it should serve as a reference implementation of what a Linux handheld should be (something that Wayland lacks). What's shocking is that after all this time we still don't have a competitor in the Linux handheld space, even though Windows is 🐶💩 on handhelds and (with Buster having been released this year), literally any maintained Linux distro will work out-of-the-box on the 7040/Z1.

Don't get me wrong—I absolutely give LMG and Linus props for putting out that video, and it very well could be that things have gotten better since. That would be awesome. My point is still that I don't want to work there.

Theoretically, as long as you can swim—you actually get less of a radiation dose in the water than you do outside because of the water shielding you from cosmic rays 2. Except, practically, you would die of "lead poisoning" before you ever reached the water—security guarding spent fuel rods don't mess around.

Chasing fractional gains on a "gaming optimized" distro is a losing proposition that's going to depend a ton on your hardware, the kernel version and whether Mercury is in retrograde.

In the Lower Decks episode "Crisis Point II," the characters go off-script, and the holodeck stalls for time with filler words ("The meaning of life is... something important... that I will reveal...").

It's not me who's conflating the two, it's the managers who claim that their devs (more often quants) write garbage code when in actuality no one ever trained them in proper style conventions. Plus—and this is all from personal experience as both an autodidact developer and as a coach—well-formatted Python, especially, tends to naturally suggest better programming patterns, such as code modularization and functional paradigms.

The issue (I suspect) is that there's enough of RHEL that's still v2 to prevent the entirety of RHEL from being redistributed by license-holders. *Clarification: I actually would have thought clause 6 in v2 would have prevented this as well, but I suspect this falls into the gray area that were clarified in the additional patent license guarantees added to v3.

  1076. - SaaS has an explicit carve-out in GPLv3 (it's ambiguous in GPLv2), which is why Affero exists. Put another way: if you do not distribute the binary, you don't have to distribute the source. - Arguably, if your application doesn't directly use a GPL component but, say, makes a call to an interface that could be implemented by a permissive or even proprietary library, then you don't have to license your application, only make the source code of the GPL component available if you ship the binary. This is explicit in LGPL, but Google v. Oracle should swing both ways (an interface is not subject to copyright).

But furthermore if you've ever tried to debug issues directly on your set-top PC, it's really clear that something about the specs or settings makes them really unsuitable for productivity workloads where you're staring at giant walls of text.

All indications right now point to bootstrapped datasets requiring heavy human review in order to be useful - 21:00 if I were a betting man, I'd bet on the bubble bursting, and soon. The Transformer framework is actually a step down from the previous generation of deep learning. What made it explode on the scene was that it was comparatively cheap to deploy. But that means there's a hard ceiling on how good GenAI can be without being prohibitively expensive, and ChatGPT is already costing OpenAI far more to run than they're taking in from revenue. I'm sure you have an arsenal of experts at your disposal, but if you have any technical or policy questions about any of this, feel free to ping me, and I'll be glad to point you to some authoritative resources.

  1102. Amazing hardware, crippled by its release coinciding with the death of OnePlus as we know it (explicitly their "merger" with Oppo). I bought mine on OP's reputation for timely--and extended--updates, and yet here I am still on Android 11 (last security update was *October*). Couple that with my main gripe--the fact they didn't properly implement USB-OTG (in the kernel), meaning you can charge or you can use peripherals, but not both, so if I want to play a game on my Razer Kishi, no pass-through charging means I'm taking enforced breaks every 30 minutes.

  1114. I may not be understanding this properly, but the multi-workspace suggestion seems like the solution to make this feasible for tiling WMs, as it allows for arbitrarily irregular geometries. Practically, giving the multi-window workflow access to, say, 3/5 tiles while you have a web browser and a terminal having squares reserved on the remaining two seems like the ideal outcome.

  1118. To quote Voltaire (a noted early GNU developer), "If Linux did not exist, it would be necessary to invent it." There will always be a contingent of people who demand to be able to rebuild their engines or modify their operating systems. People thought that electrification would kill car mods, but just look at the number of people who have installed aftermarket upgrades on their Nissan Leafs. Similarly, modding Android has such a high barrier to entry because of the bespoke hardware involved. That doesn't stop pretty much every phone ever made form having a sub on xda-developers with instructions on swapping the kernel or installing a new ROM.

  1120. Tbf, multi-window was the main thing that made it difficult for me to learn GIMP, so when I tried it again after five years, I was pleasantly surprised to find the new one-window modal was the default. But yeah there are a ton of use-cases for multi-window applications, especially if you have multiple monitors, from nonlinear video editors, CAD software (as you say), IDEs, and basically any application where you want a persistent "preview" pane separate from your primary editor or command console.

  1122.  @nrk9857  Did you miss the part about the stock sales? This happened Feb. 27. Less than two weeks later they announced that the bank would be selling new shares to plug a hole in the balance sheet. That's what led to the run, but even if it hadn't, it would have torpedoed the stock price thanks to nothing more than supply and demand. I'm not a prosecutor, but that seems like insider trading to me.

  1142. Star Trek: The Animated Series (which is super underrated, btw) has an episode revolving around Kukulkan, who is seriously pissed at humanity, having given early humans the city plan for Teotihuacan along with a puzzle that, once solved, would summon him to return. In an inverse of the whole, "non-European empires must have been bootstrapped by aliens" trope, it's revealed that the pre-Aztecs executed his plan but didn't trigger his return because, frankly, they didn't need him. It's a great episode of the great show that's even more impressive for having been written in the mid-1970s.

  1145. The problem with smart TVs is that when they stop being maintained, you're worse off than if you had nothing. I really like RokuOS--the UI is intuitive and mostly functional, and their sticks saved me from needing to sacrifice a precious Pi during the shortage. But already I'm dealing with issues in the Jellyfin app that were fixed two years ago that still haven't rolled out to the official "channel." With my dumb TV, I can swap out my Roku for a Pi no prob, since my TV "boots" straight into the last selected input when I turn it on. But with my Roku TVs, I'll have to navigate a menu to get into the correct input every time And that's even assuming that TCL/Roku doesn't up and push out a firmware update that literally bricks my TV to get me to buy a new one or pay a subscription.

  1148. It's literally true, though. It's all about probabilities and choosing the most appropriate response. What differentiates Transformer models from previous Markov chains and Naïve Bayes algorithms is that Transformers encode the input into a more useful vector space before applying the predictions. You may find the "on steroids" shorthand as somewhat short-selling the importance of that shift, but the alternative is that we talk about artifical neural network models as if they have intelligence or agency (using terms like "attention," "understanding," "learn" and "halluciante") which, while useful shorthand, is preposterous.

    2
  1153. Ah, okay. Stallman actually has a valid point here, though I don't even think he realizes it. He's saying that Debian, Fedora and Arch play a vital role as gatekeepers who audit the software that's included, even in their nonfree repos. The reason PPAs and the AUR exist is that the distro maintainers (leaders in the free software movement) don't deem that software as an essential part of their experience. Stallman's concern is that the rise of Flatpaks means that people won't be installing the "Debian-approved" build of Blender or Firefox, but the developer-approved bundles, and that this will encourage bad habits. Audacity is a good example. They're FOSS, but they threw in telemetry on a whim, and there was little stopping the Flatpak version from immediately going out to users. To be clear: while I would agree with this stance if distros had all the staffing and funding in the world, they don't, and the amount of time and the effort spent reviewing and repackaging software across a dozen distros is squandering precious resources. I also think Flatpak's sandboxing-by-default and dependency isolation features more than outweigh this lack of review. Especially because, ultimately, these are our systems, we're going to install the software we want, and having to apt-add a PPA has never deterred me in the past.

  1154. I haven't even looked at Abiword in years—how does it compare to Libre when it comes to viewing docx? You're probably right that unless you're a student (who is likely stuck in GSuite) you probably aren't loading PowerPoints or spreadsheets too often.

  1159. Hot take: CC-NC is more damaging to the "open source" movement than MIT or Beerware style licenses. As a creator it seems perfectly reasonable to say, "Hey, I don't want anyone else to profit off my work" but imagine if OBS were licensed exclusively under non-commercial terms--that could very well mean that no VOD or Streaming creator could use it if they stood to earn a penny of ad revenue. To be clear, OBS is GPLv2, but that's probably a more familiar example to most people than the MIT/BSD-licensed projects I could name off the top of my head.

  1165. My parents had shown me the original trilogy before Episode One csme to theaters, but I was twelve at the time and I still thought the movie was the bee's knees. An adolescent crush on Natalie Portman also sustained me through Attack of the Clones.

  1173. Jeff Geerling just did a video about a third-party internal storage upgrade for the Mac mini. I always figured that was impossible because they soldered the storage to the SOC—nope. It's a module. Looks like an M.2 until you get really close and realize the key is arbitrarily different. Apple went out of their way to reinvent M.2 just so users couldn't do their own upgrades.
    2
  1174. That's pithy (and one of the billionaire clips actually said something to that effect), but it's also untrue. Most of modern physics is breaking—or at least bending—the "laws" of physics. One of my undergrad professors gave a talk about how you could flagrantly violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics for short lengths of time, kind of equivalent to a "post-dated check loan." Meanwhile, there are plenty of biological, psychological and even sociological principles that are much, much harder to violate.

  1176. Dude, back-propagation and neural nets getting the Nobel is, if anything, long overdue. You will struggle to find someone more critical of the "AI hype" wave than myself, and even I'm saying it was a good call. Hopfield and Hinton have also been vocal critics of, say, OpenAI's shenanigans, so the Nobel Committee is definitely sending a message here.

  1197. Transformer models are, by definition, dumber than deep learning models—what's allowed them to take over the world hypetrain is that they're lobotomized of their recurrent network layers and just focus on "attention," which is way cheaper and easier to scale. So yeah, no 💩 they're hitting a plateau. This is also why Altman is saying he wants trillions of dollars in GPUs and electricity—because even with efficiency gains, today's clouds won't bring about The Singularity.

  1198. This is super cool, and even cooler that it can run locally. And even cooler that it's not using one of the large, general-purpose transformers but a svelte 32MM-parameter model by default.

The decider was that whereas being productive in emacs relied on lugging around your configuration file, with vim you could be at home on any computer you ever logged into, right out of the box. So here I am years later starting every new setup process by FTPing my .vimrc and then struggling when I realize that vim-plug isn't installed or vim wasn't compiled with python-3.6 support (for :Black).

  1219. I'm gonna go 🌶️ for a second: if your DE doesn't have it's own dedicated calculator, calendar, music, video, settings, file manager, archiver and terminal apps, then what are you doing? Yes, I believe in the idea of an independent XApps project and that it should be easier to make cross-distro apps feel at home on any DE, but if you're implementing your own theming and application feel, then having a library of basic, reference apps is essential for developers to be able to develop for your platform.

  1220. Amazingly, this is only barely satire. While Amish have historically refrained from voting, they're being actively courted by Republicans this year, and a large Pennsylvania Amish community has been angered by a state raid on a local farmer selling raw milk.
    2
  1221. I have no problem with how Arch does this—if one package exists in multiple repos, it just prompts you to ask which one you want installed.
    2
  1222. Did you watch Kaos? I'm not sure how much I "enjoyed" it or whether I would recommend it, but Jeff Goldblum's Zeus was the "shitty, petty, paranoid God-King" that I've always hoped would get represented in media.
    2
  1223. This seems like a good use-case for automated UAT. Set out a few rules of expected behavior: (1. After installing a theme, I should be able to access my home directory) Then create macros for installing the theme and checking each UAT condition. Now create a VM snapshot from a working base KDE installation, run your macros, and summarize the results in a dashboard. Will you catch every issue? No. But you won't ever get burned by the same issue if each problem is captured as a new test case as it's discovered.
    2
  1224. Similar for me. Steam Deck > Arch > Wayland > XWayland > Rootfull XWayland > Brodie. His XWayland videos are to this day the only resources I've found that explain the what, why and how of running an entire XSession inside of a Wayland compositor (read: SteamOS' Gaming Mode).

  1228. Your comment just reminds me of all the hilarious UI vs. UX memes I've seen. I'm 💯 with you, btw—even though it's rare these days that I want anything on my computer to notify me of anything, I like that they all show up in one spot in elementary, as opposed to each application managing its own toasts like how Apple does it.
    2
  1229. Understanding C types is what differentiates Python developers from script kiddies analysts—beyond just using type hints and understanding package ABIs, performance optimizers like numba require understanding what code can be "easily converted" to C.
    2
  1230. ​ @afrofantom6631 That's awesome! First off—no disrespect to analysts meant: if you're making or informing high-level decisions, you got no time to be worrying about type safety. Second, good on you for broadening your skillset—even if it stays strictly a hobby, the more languages you learn, the more paradigms and ways of thinking you get exposed to, and that's always valuable.
    2
  1231.  @sirzorg5728  Oh, way ahead of you, comrade. I'm Arch+Pantheon on two machines now and Arch+Sway on a third. Though I still prefer deb-based distros for servers.
    2
  1232. In all seriousness, this isn't designed to prevent you from plugging in a HID—it's to prevent you from plugging in an HID that has a hidden storage drive, spycam, etc., which is not something that will be able to run over PS/2.
    2
  1233. 5:09 "It's so much easier to exit nano" only holds true if you're using a keyboard with a Ctrl button (lots of On-screen touch keyboards don't). Of course Apple removing the ESC key from its Pro MacBooks in 2016 was an aggressively anti-vi move...
    2
  1234. It's really great. Gorgeous, incredibly intuitive. Best time I've had tiling since Windows 3.1. That said, it's got a ton of "Alpha problems." For example: if I want screen capture (screenshots, OBS, whatever), I have to log in, log out, then log back in. And that's honestly the least of my issues atm. Even so, it's my daily driver, but I'd be lying if I said that the chaos wasn't part of the appeal. 🙃
    2
  1235. I'd still be using Haswell if I didn't need more than 32GB of memory. My 4790K is is not meaningfully slower in single-thread than my 5900X. CPUs haven't gotten meaningfully faster in the last decade, just denser and more efficient.
    2
  1236. Running Python in Excel is the uno reverse card of my entire career up until this point—parsing business analyst and recruiter spreadsheets for ingestion into Python frameworks. I also have a prediction that Jassy's Web Hosting (And Omni-Bazaar) is going to hard fork LibreOffice and market it as their own competitor that runs in AWS.
    2
  1237. Veronica Explains pronounces it Guh-Noam, and she explained (🥁) that she does because she heard one of the early core developers pronounce it that way. So that's my answer. More importantly, and much more rarely known—it's not Cue-Tea, it's Cute.
    2
  1238. Credits at 29:46 say that's Ilana Becker.
    2
  1239. Yeah. It's called "Global Stallions" and it's owned by Weatherbys.
    2
  1240. They're not placing any conditions or restrictions on what he says. It's paid consideration but not sponsorship, and Brodie disclosed it properly. This is exactly how Jeff Geerling handles all the ARM prototyoes he's sent.
    2
  1241. I was confused about this—don't have the issue on my vertical display—until I remembered that it's actually a horizontal panel that I turned 90°. Which is probably why System76 didn't catch this bug themselves, because native portrait displays are still very rare outside of handhelds.
    2
  1242. You do you, 🐧 pal! I love GTK, but I haven't enjoyed the GNOME DE since the early 2010s. Still better than KDE though 🤢
    2
  1243.  @sinom  Maybe "skill issue," but I find getting Python set up on Windows in general to be unnecessarily painful.
    2
  1244. Yes. That's why she's upset. Because JJ Abrams apparently didn't.
    2
  1245. Maybe don't uninstall the old kernel until you've rebooted with the new one? That way you can still boot using the old kernel via GRUB. With Debian-based systems, it always keeps the old kernel around (and the old kernels in the GRUB menu) unless you run autoremove.
    2
  1246. I can see this having a minor impact on foreign investors (who weren't aware of these practices and never visited the properties they owned), but realistically what will happen is that everyone will just do a mental conversation between "real sq ft" and "NY crooked ft" and move on with BAU
    2
  1247. GNOME is still the most important DE. Without it, how would every GTK-based DE know what not to do? 🙃
    2
  1248. CoreCtrl? IIRC that was a one-hoop affair on my 6800U and worked OOTB with my 5900X+6700XT setup.
    2
  1249. I get you're trying to score easy internet points, but dang, buddy. Certainly there are more deserving targets for mockery, like hospice nurses or elementary school teachers.
    2
  1250. Anything is better than the GNOME desktop, lol. I've been a KDE hater since before KDE 4 happened, and all but one of my favorite DEs are GTK-based, and even I think GNOME is mobile-wannabe trash. Anyway, if GNOME only wants to support Wayland in GTK5, we'll just see forks—that's how we got MATE, right?
    2
  1251. Hilariously, because this wasn't in any stable releases, the only "production" systems to be affected by this are... macOS system running Homebrew. Now that I type that out, I really hope Tim Apple doesn't get wind of it, lest he try to crack down on macOS "sideloading"

  1253. 11:03 -- No, the cars did not run out of battery at the Valencia ePrix. They exceeded their allowed "usable energy" quotas which had been artificially lowered due to several safety car periods to discourage drivers from just going flat out for the rest of the race. The batteries themselves still had about 50% charge.

  1254. Big difference between a warning that "this theme might not work" and "this theme has the ability to run arbitrary code," which I am terrified to learn is apparently... standard practice.

  1255. Excuse me, I use Linux for fun and I actively dislike Windows and macOS¹ Also, nothing makes my day quite like seeing a public terminal with a stack trace on a TTY or GRUB boot screen instead of a BSOD. It's still the minority, but it's definitely not as much of a rarity as it was 20 years ago. ¹OSX was 🔥 though² ²I use Pantheon, btw

  1257. There's an online game called Vim Adventures. It's really good and how I learned the basics. The first level is also free.

  1259. So I'm building a 128-node Beowulf cluster. Back in the day, I'd pay for one subscription to RHEL for the namenode and then install 127 copies of Cent on the workers. Now RHEL wants me to buy 128 licenses which is going to lead me to buying zero licenses, setting up my cluster with Ubuntu Pro (🤢) and training a few generations of scientific computing engineers to use deb-based distros. That's how you become irrelevant, IBM.

  1260. Just to add: TOTP is an open spec / algorithm, and there are absolutely desktop authenticators you can compile and run locally.

  1261. You're reading him wrong (in my opinion). You can see their back-and-forth in the comments section of his video and Louis' community post—mutual respect and mutual humility.

  1262. It's interesting how calculus is part of the standard curriculum but is honestly a lot less important in day-to-day life than concepts that aren't as well taught, like Bayesian statistics. Of course, if quantum computing ever takes off, having a good handle on integral calculus is going to be one of the most useful skills in a CS arsenal.
    2
  1263. I run a lot of software exclusively in userspace (conda environments, for example), and my PATH includes .local/bin , so noexec'ing ~ would completely break my workflows. I definitely think noexecing ~/Downloads should be the default, though.

  1264. I loved that Clarke named it Lucifer almost entirely so he could make a Beatles' reference based on his theory that its core was one massive diamond.

    2
  1266.  @Thorhian  We're saying the same thing. I'm talking about teaching it to people who aren't likely to go into tech as a career. If all you ever need is a scripting language or a flexible interface for basic computation and plotting, python will easily meet those needs in a way that's more user-friendly than bash and more powerful than Excel.

  1270. ​ @Monsuco Dude, have you re-watched the anime this decade? I watched up through Diamond & Pearl with my kid, and the early seasons especially are amazing and hilarious to this day. Are they faithful translations? Heck to the No. Are they responsible for making Pocket Monsters a juggernaut on both sides of the Pacific? You better believe it.
    2
  1271. It feels like this is missing a punchline like: "And now my system won't even boot!" But in all seriousness—I'm both really glad for you and super curious regarding your proompts—like, what were you asking it to help you do?

  1276. He's had Plasma leads and Glorious Eggroll on Tech Over Tea. He's also literally the best YouTuber to go to for practical news about Wayland (trust me—I've looked for others). All of this to say: I'm surprised, but not shocked.

  1277. Another lifelong DC Area resident piping to support the brutalist architecture of the region, especially the metro. Brutalism always evokes a larger than life feeling and (the illusion of) permanence, that what was built here was built to last.

  1280. lol, I had to log into GNOME in order to set up GDM (only DM I've tried that works with both COSMIC and Pantheon), and my immediate reaction was, "God! People use this? Willingly???"
    2
  1281. Newbie here taking note of some hilarious UI trolling. Using Mac OS 9 for your "desktop environment"... except where there's the XP start menu with the notepad++ chrome for your text editor (which might really be npp—I never experimented with theming). Also really curious how much of your "workshop" is CGI background, because if those are real classic macs, I'm incredibly jealous (said as someone who daily drives an iMac G4 "restomod").
    2
  1282. I authored a bunch of "inner sourced" packages during my seven years at my last employer. I was extremely generous about giving commit rights to anyone who wanted it and made sure that every major project had at least one other admin besides me. Anyway, I'm no longer with that employer, and I still occasionally get messages from ex-coworkers who are continuing to use those projects. Gone but not forgotten is about the happiest ending anyone can hope for in this world.

  1283. Potential. I see what you did there.

  1284. This is wild. She even has YouTube videos up on @springchickenmedia that are honestly indistinguishable from segments like this.

  1285. Let's also give a shout-out to companies like CodeWeavers and Anaconda, which do almost exclusively open source development that is either sponsored by companies like Valve or paid for and stress-tested through contracts with companies and users who might be entitled to a dual-license / copyleft exemption.
    2
  1286. Same with kiTTY

  1287.  @ArbitraryCodeExecution  Well I'm apparently wrong about the cloning being the standard practice anyway—still, Arch says they're not vulnerable because they don't link openssh to liblzma. 🤷‍♂️

  1288. Remind me: do you have a video (or blag post) on how to set up a homelab VPN? That's probably the main thing my home network is lacking at this point.
    2
  1289. My local Target was somehow spared this transformation. My Whole Foods (an Amazon subsidiary, remember), not so much—a place that used to bring me so much joy in doing my grocery shopping is now just a dirtier, more cramped, higher priced Giant with less variety.

  1290. Same experience here, and the Wayland session has been running flawlessly on my AMD APU.

    2
  1293.  @bernardogalvao4448  The Arch wiki explains how to set it up (with SteamOS having already done all the hard work of setting up the /nix filesystem). It's my understanding that Nix environments are overlays, similar to Python virtual envs, and a step less isolated than containers. So no, it's completely isolated from the root package manager. And the path overrides are somehow smart enough to not cause conflicts.
    2
  1294. I find that there are some few series with really bad timey wimey inconsistencies that can be explained through chaos theory and stable attractors—basically, small perturbations off of stable time loops are, by definition, inconsequential. But a really big push at just the right point could knock a timeline onto a different stable attractor (AU). This system also allows for "period 2" temporal orbits (mirror universe characters sacrifice themselves to save the "better" timeline) as well as fully chaotic temporal mechanics, where the characters just do whatever because the timeline is f**ed anyway (Futurama, taken as a whole, may fall into this bucket. Star Trek's temporal cold war *definitely works this way).

  1297. For $50? Yeah, this would be fine. Burner Windows VM for one-time configuration, then CCTV viewer, as you say. But for $250?! Heck no. For that price you can get a used Android phone with a decent IP rating and a long USB cable. Then either partially submerge the phone or caulk around the USB port (the cable's insulation should be waterproof enough). On the phone itself, run a minimal install of Lineage and any of a number of free IP webcam apps. Done.
    2
  1298. FUD. Yeah, microSD failure rates are higher and median lifetimes lower than other forms of flash, but Home Assistant isn't doing a ton of tile I/O--as long as your µSD isn't a lemon you'll be good for years. Just, like, remember to perform regular backups, same as any computer.
    2
  1299. ​ @adamestrada7610 Yeah, conda-main tends to run a bit behind conda-forge, which itself can be sometimes be a point release behind PyPI. But it's usually not quite "apt repository" level of staleness.

  1300. A rare lady Charismaniac would be Osyraa from Star Trek: Discovery's third season. Plots within plots, pursues her goals of galactic betterment with a single-mindedness, whether that means developing a humane pesticide, uplifting a disabled scientist, trafficking in endangered species or executing her own nephew. She then proceeds to have a third-act breakdown when a heroic Type 2 Magnificent Bastard refuses to accept her extremely generous terms for compromise because it would compromise his principles.

If I can turn my Xmas lights on and off from inside my house without needing to go through the company's server, why does my automaker need to "host" anything?

  1307. "President Trump? President Clinton?..." This was recorded in 2016. "...I'm going to be much wealthier in four years." Good news on that front: he passed away in June 2020 because he thought he was too rich to wear a mask. Also, not for nothing, but he died penniless after his wet market empire collapsed.

  1309. I love how she hits this point precisely on the head around the mid-point of the video. "STEAM" is a branding term that effectively makes no difference—if you went to an affluent school system (like I was privileged enough to), then you learned critical thinking and the scientific method under a different name. And if you grew up on the other side of the county divide? Well, you were probably just as underserved as the schmucks who attend your school today.
    2
  1310. I daily drive Linux, but if I'm ever developing something cross-platform, I'm booting up the Windows VM—most languages and build systems give you POSIX compliance for free—backslash handling; NTFS quirks; and lack of standard OS utils like ssh, rsync and cross-volume symlinks make adding Windows support later way more trouble than it has any right to be.
    2
  1311.  @rossmanngroup  You're right on the money. Transformers can't produce¹ any novel insights, but one doesn't always need insight. They can extract maximal context from a natural language proompt and can effectively synthesize a response (effectively: "how would the experts in my training data evaluate this code snippet?") much more efficiently than traditional search methods. ¹literally can't—those neural layers have been stripped out to focus on the "attention" mechanisms

Dr. Erin MacDonald is the science consultant for the franchise, and as much as Angela has stated her dislike for time travel plot lines, I'd love to know whether that still holds when the stakes are real and the rules are well-explained, as in Prodigy Season 2's "Temporal Mechanics 101."

  1320. First and only time in history that AMD has a majority CPU market share!

They auctioned off a prototype copper waterblock that the manufacturer had asked be returned, but only after panning the product after testing it on an incompatible GPU and refusing to redo the test (because, Linus said, it would have cost him a few hundred bucks) 2. Their former head of social media was routinely belittled by senior staff, had sexual comments made about her by coworkers, and was ordered to perform demeaning tasks. When she raised complaints to "HR," she was ignored or told she needed to work out the issues directly with her abuser.

  1325. First off: you can set up a system like this (on my dd, I have pacman, yay, conda, pipx, cargo and now Nix), it's just that this combination is cursed. Second: I think he was trying to say, "I don't care which GNU/Linux* you use, just choose one." *Third: Not trying to crawl up Stallman's urethra—just trying to differentiate from Android, ChromeOS and a few other locked down operating systems which also use the Linux kernel.

  1327.  @bigpod  You realize they already do, by and large, right? A package's installer isn't going to just call `sudo service sshd restart` because what if the system manages daemons directly using systemctl? Instead, there's going to be a section of the package manifest that says: "Post install, flag these services for restart: [list]"

Yet the RHS terms—the actual mental effort of acquiring the gifts, hasn't actually gone down because of how much more difficult it is to find items that are truly novel to the recipient.

Musk's strategy of training a driving AI based on millions of hours of sensor data collected from his customers has resulted in a model *that drives like a Tesla driver*. You see this sort of thing all the time in machine learning. Remember that resume screening project that selected candidates for jobs at Amazon because they were white men... since that's the sort of people who were already working on Amazon?

  1374. This is literally the grand reveal in Orson Scott Card's Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Colombus. His thesis, furthermore, is that human sacrifice fell out of favor anywhere that invented slavery ("Hey, instead of just straight-up killing our war-captives, why don't we work them to death instead?"). To the novel's credit, the message of his book is still that both are bad (which, given it's OSC, was not a guarantee). Anyway, it's actually a really good read, and if you can find it at a used book store, I definitely recommend picking it up.

Now, a lot of those netbooks were great for what they were designed to do! But when people realized that 16GB of storage and a single Atom processor was not going to be enough to replace their computing needs, Linux earned a sour reputation by association that lasted a full decade.

  1388.  @JMurph2015  Particle physics is just one sub-branch of physics, and even there the results have been impressive (including the negative results—the disproving of supersymmetry). Any of the advancements she listed would qualify you a Physics PhD or a Nobel in Physics. To add to her list: my own PhD was for nonlinear dynamics—Chaos Theory is only 48 years old, and theoretical breakthroughs (as in, pen and paper, not just computer simulation) happen regularly and inform everything from our understanding of galaxy formation to weather and climate forecasts to the light patterns produced by fireflies.

It helps that when talking about the issues she's describing, intent doesn't matter and all that matters is adverse impact. That is, it doesn't matter if your model doesn't use race (or any race-correlated) inputs, if your model effectively treats people of different races differently, it's not safe to use.

  1457. A lot of people used Linux for the first time when they bought a 2010-era netbook that came preloaded with Ubuntu Remix. For them, Linux = sluggish performance and a computer whose hard drive fills up within a week of use. It set back the Linux adoption cause by a literal decade and a half.

The full report has not been—and I guarantee will never be—released. Madison has been silent about the report, and if I were her, I would be too out of fear of litigation. Remember that she only came forward in the first place once current employees were talking about the toxic work environment. Am I saying I'd stake my life on her story being the truth? No. But from where I see it she had a lot more to lose by speaking out than she stood to gain.

  1462. Louis, for all the good you do in Right to Repair, the most important lesson you've been teaching is don't trust anyone, at least not 100%, and certainly never uncritically. I don't trust Linus Tech Tips on Linux (or how to run a non-toxic workplace). I don't trust Chris Titus to prioritize facts over clickbait. And I don't trust you when it comes to the harmful effects of Toxoplasmosis gondii¹. I appreciate the work Marques has done lately ridiculing these AI scam products, and I think it's valid that you're calling him out for serving Apple's gaslight machine here. ¹That's the brain parasite that makes rodents—and, many believe, humans—friendlier to cats. It's a joke. Don't worry about it.

  1467. This is depressing but Linus and Anthony are right 💯. It made sense for my grad school to pay for my HEDT in the early 2010s because I was performing numerical simulations that were either trivially parallelizable or were concurrent enough to warrant use of CUDA and a dedicated Nvidia Tesla card. If someone came to me today with a similar use case I'd set them up with an EC2 cluster on AWS. And now I'm looking at 7:44 and noticing that I accomplish all that and more at home through three separate machines (one of which is a Pi). Not only is that way cheaper than having a single HEDT, but if the VM server goes down, my wife's 3D print isn't interrupted, and my kid is still able to access his project files on the family file share. All of this is nothing new--HPC (High Performance Computing) has been synonymous with cluster compute since I was in grad school, so honestly the only thing shocking about HEDT being on its deathbed is honestly that it stuck around so long.

Unlike venv, it's not just limited to Python libraries and can install binaries for other languages and even alternative versions of Python. The package solver was historically very slow (as opposed to pip's solver, which was historically VERY BAD) but it's gotten better lately. There's also a drop-in replacement called mamba that is super-fast.

  1480. Luckily the economics will save us. Back-of-the-napkin math based on experiments using my own hardware and a kill-a-watt meter: Stable Diffusion costs about $0.14/second of video¹ in electricity. So a 60-second short will run about $8. Oh, and tack on another $2 to drive engagement by having the "creator" respond to comments via an LLM. Versus paying a YouTuber, generously, pennies in ad revenue on average. Shorts creators: your "jobs" are safe. ¹Sora is probably an order of magnitude more expensive, and note that I'm not including the cost of buying and maintaining the GPU hardware

  1488. This is a false dichotomy. Quantum Mechanics is a technique. Classical Mechanics is a technique. QM produces accurate predictions of simple systems but becomes intractably unsolvable when the system gains complexity. Applying certain assumptions, QM aligns with macro predictions that align with CM, and those assumptions set the boundaries for which CM is useful—turns out those boundaries are quite broad, explaining how we've successfully used CM for centuries. As for which represents "reality"—that's philosophy, bub, not physics. Physics doesn't say "why" or "how." It says "as if," as in, "this electron's angular momentum behaves as if it had an innate, quantized 'spin.'" I hope that helps.

  1534. Regarding "burner" accounts: yeah, it's definitely less good for privacy than a pool of anonymous accounts, but it's better than nothing. It's pseudonymity vs. anonymity. A network admin's analog: the first is akin to routing the network traffic you want to sandbox through a VPN running off of a Linode server you're renting. The second is akin to using TOR. At best, you're creating a valuable profile of "V Google 💩" which can be marketed towards. At worst, a single link (i.e. location data) can be used to identify the burner as Veronica's Google 💩 and allow whoever to combine the data between the accounts.

If people have any suggestions for a Wayland-compatible hotkey daemon / key-remapper that works with X-input, please let me know—I'm looking to upgrade past input-remapper. Vanilla vim with a minimal vimrc is a philosophical choice (and my hedge for the real possibility of needing to work on airgapped systems).

The best "best practices" are ones that end up saving the developer time and effort. - autoformatters (like black for Python) - pre-commit - build automation (yes, like slsa, but more like any of the billion one-line actions in GitHub Marketplace) - cookie-cutter project templates that set up your project with all these tools for you

  1569. Oh man this just reminded me of the first time I tried Debian and sudo apt install firefox gave me a big fat nothing. Took some web searching (on a non-Debian box) to find out that while firefox was FOSS, the name and logo were trademarked, meaning I had to install "Iceweasel" instead.

  1575. SCOTUS allowing Youngkin to strike 1600 names from the voter rolls a week before Election Day was infuriating. At least we have same-day registration. And on that note, when I went to vote today, there was a pretty long line—when I checked in, though, my registration was confirmed, and I was directed straight to the ballot booths. So I'm pretty sure that line was for people registering (or reregistering).

  1578. 13:36 This is why a rigid Dyson sphere is superior—Gauss' Law guarantees that the net force of the star on the sphere is zero regardless of the position of the star inside the sphere. It does make it frustrating, though, that Dyson spheres are all depicted as having biospheres inside the sphere—in reality, if you're living inside, then there's no gravity from the sphere, and "down" is straight towards the star.

I know this is a year late, but I hope that I'm misreading the replies to this comment--I think we all agree that this trope is stupid, but we can't ignore that it exists with (as Red points out) robots often serving as the embodiment, Data being the archetypical example. Data, who, despite not being asexual (has a romance with Tasha Yar who was, herself, queer-coded), is treated as such while also portrayed as child-like and immature up through the series finale of the sequel series, where his desire for mental health treatment is ridiculed by the most empathic character in the canon 🤦‍♂️

  1580. I tried the chainsaw PR once. With the lead developer of Minecraft for a side-project he wrote in (poorly formatted) Python. My actual contribution was a small bugfix, but since I have pre-commit and black baked into my .vimrc (I use Arch, btw) it ended up rewriting his entire repo. He took one look at the PR, cursed me out for completely rewriting his code, and rejected my PR on the spot. Lo and behold, the project is now abandoned.

  1582.  @anonymouscommentator  I don't have a satisfactory answer. All I can definitively say is: - I opened three projects I have open concurrently all the time - Responsiveness suddenly ground to a halt, and I got some sort of "low memory" / "out of memory" warning from the IDE (Xmx, btw, is set to 2GB by default—my system has 128GB in total) - Before I could close some windows or kill IntelliJ altogether, COSMIC completely locked up - I tried again a few days (and a few software updates) later, after radding JetBrains' new experimental Wayland support flag to the VM options (and raising Xmx to 4GB), and everything worked fine.

  1614. It's the manifestation of Goodhart's Law—every metric that someone uses as a goalpost will be gamed or otherwise abused. Good teachers were penalized for teaching smart kids (who had the smallest chance for "improvement"), struggling schools were defunded and replaced with for-profit charter schools and every teacher in the country was forced to care more about test scores than their students' learning or, oftentimes, mental well-being.

  1618. So many variants played out in Deep Space Nine, with Dax mostly being the central node. Started with a Mock Triangle of J and Q both liking D, with Q not really having a chance (and D seeming mostly uninterested in J anyway). Then W showed up and we had kind of a conga line (J,Q → D → W, W is oblivious), only for it to loop back in on itself in "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places," which has a Cyrano / reverse-societal-bond triangle, with Q and W both lusting after G, and W helping Q (who, remember, still loves D) woo G. The episode ends with Q and G together and W reversing polarity, getting together with D and realing she was everything he wanted and more. J, meanwhile, had entered into a separate love triangle, after entering a relationship with L, with R—Q's brother—secretly loving L. When J and L break up, L gets with R, and the two live happily ever after. Finally, in Season 7, a Doctor Who style death and rebirth resets the dynamic, with J and Q having a second shot at D, complicated by W going full tsundere at D. That leads to a lot of tension until W and D work through their feelings (::cough::), freeing up D to admit her latent attraction for J, who, it should be noted, is in a committed platonic relationship with M (who himself is married to K but also at one point almost ended up in a thruple with N when N was carrying M and K's baby). Damn that was a good show!

Also: no problems using OBS or Google Meets, and it's got the best multi-display support I've ever had in Linux (per-display workspaces—where have you been all my life??).

They didn't want to name a fundamental particle Truth for the same reason everyone ended up resenting the people who popularized the Higgs Boson's nickname: "The God Particle." 2. The majority of the particle physics community was very much the Mean Girls meme: "Stop trying to make [Truth/Beauty] happen, because it's not going to happen."

My knowledge of cryptographic ciphers is mostly academic and largely a decade stale, so I can't dismiss it off the bat. I'm still skeptical of the claim and whether it would be be meaningfully more secure for a actual quantum computer (that is, if if it could resist cracking by a 10,000-bit QC for 20 seconds instead of 10, then does that matter, especially if we could be a century off of a QC that powerful?)

Just even knowing, "40% of viewers didn't watch past the first 15 minutes," while simply being a correlation, would at least give credence to the hypothesis that those who commented dumb 💩 didn't actually watch.

Enter the software name in the search bar 4. Figure out which listing is actually what I want (because SEO is affecting Linux app stores now??) 5. Click "Install" 6. Watch a spinner spin 7. Open the app Or I could open a terminal and type $ flatpak install vlc (don't even need the full identifier any more!), and with, like, three additional keystrokes I have it running on my system.

  1706. Actually, "comprehending" is something that GPTs do really well. The magic of these algorithms is that, rather than use recurrent networks to find deep patterns, they instead focus on "attention" mechsnisms that contextualize the input into as many ways as possible. This makes them ideally suited for information extraction and summarization. The issue is that they're lousy when it comes to insight and invention—their goal is to synthesize the most likely /appropriate response to a proompt from the training data, and that means that they can never exceed their training data. For a vulnerability scanner, that means that they can only ever find code similar to other vulnerabilities and can never actually discover novel threat risks.

  1710. This video isn't about AlphaFold, honey. DeepMind is an extremely complex recurrent neural network model framework that is capable of unsupervised learning and—yes—novel insights. Transformer models came out of a 2017 paper called "Attention is All You Need" that showed how you could build a chatbot cheaply (without those extremely complex recurrent layers) that could be pre-trained on a corpus of documents. Angela isn't saying "AI" isn't useful for science—anyone who's ever done anomaly detection or optical pattern recognition knows how useful it is—she's saying that these models cannot science. Because they can't. Because that's not how they work.

My favorite fox story: back when people got newspapers delivered, a Falls Church, VA paperboy got in serious trouble as a bunch of residents of one neighborhood kept calling to complain that they weren't getting their copy of the Washington Post. The paperboy insisted he was delivering the papers and thought that someone must be stalking his route and stealing them for some reason. Well, I'm sure you can see where this is going, the thief was eventually found out: it was a father fox who was taking the papers back to his den so his pups could practice pouncing.

  1716. This mirrors my Linux story so well. I switched to Linux at the encouragement of my Intro to Scientific Computing professor. This was 2006, and the choices for a newbie were Fedora and Ubuntu. I really hated rpm/yum, and so Ubuntu it was! Fast forward a few decades, I was talking with my boss and telling him about some issues I was having with my (desnapified-)Ubuntu-based workstation, and I made a joke about switching to Arch. He said I should do it—and that he ran Arch. This was literally the first time he mentioned that he daily drove Linux, let alone Arch. I tried it in a VM, learned about how little is included in Arch base, and then did a dull install, dual-booting Arch and Ubuntu. It took less than two weeks before I was 100% on Arch. I will say: I knew enough to know that I was hopeless with fdisk, so I did all my partitioning in system-rescue and GPartEd. 10/10—CLI partition management is exclusively the realm of the Gods.

  1730. Off-topic, but good on you for focusing on a really good use for a transformer model.

  1741. I got my PhD in nonlinear dynamics, so I've always loved the trope of time loops and explicitly the challenge of breaking out of them. There's a methodology called Lyapunov analysis where the idea is that how stable a loop is will vary depending on where you are on that loop and in what direction you push. Which aligns really well with the fictional trope of there being one specific change that will alter your timeline and get you out past Groundhog Day / push you out of the dark future attractor / push you into the basin of Steins;Gate.

  1775.  @sategllib2191  It's not really an issue of inflation in the usual sense--it's a symptom of income inequality that the rich can afford to spend ludicrous amounts of money on collectibles and thus inflate those markets (which, btw, are inflated regardless of the currency) as opposed to goods associated with cost of living, which is what inflation generally focuses on. That is not to say that the cost of living hasn't skyrocketed, but even there it's defying usual conventions in that the issue is in the low-ends of the market--there are more luxury apartments than ever in the country while affordable housing stock has basically been erased, and the markets reflect that. I'm quibbling because the usual answers to inflation--raising interest rates--will likely only hurt those who are hurting already without doing much to tamp down the extremes that we're actually experiencing.

Welp, that didn't pan out as the AM4 socket was retired before a better APU came along. So now I'm sitting here looking at the 4x4 7xxxHS boards and asking—is it really worth holding out for AMD to release another G-series (and hope that someone makes a 5x5 mobo for it) when I probably will need to replace the motherboard by the time that APU needs to go out to pasture? And then that conversation extends into soldered-on RAM and maybe even SSDs, especially when you look at the power efficiency of full-on SoCs, and you can see the death of the building one's own PC not too far beyond the horizon.

  1799. Honestly, products from China are going to be the best bang for your buck. Plus, anything sold from the US, Japan or Europe (with the exception of Germany) will require you to create an online account and install their app. The trick with the Chinese listings is simply not to assume any of the specs or features are as advertised—read the reviews (not the ones that say "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ can I have my gift card now?") and look for actual specs, datasheets and compatibility information.

C++ is a great language for a first course in programming because you can either branch and go the C route simply by restricting your syntax, or you can transfer most of the OOP you learn to C# or Java.

  1847. I've of two minds when it comes to Instinct vs. Nvidia's Ampere (now Hopper) lineup. On the one hand, the A100 teardowns showed what was essentially an undervolted 3090 with the HDMI output removed (albeit with a BOATLOAD more RAM), then sold for a huge markup, whereas the Instinct cards are *legitimately designed for HPC*. On the other hand, that also means that you can do a lot more high-performance computing with a consumer RTX card than you can with a Radeon (I think the 7900XTX has just two AI Compute units?)

Certain updates would completely corrupt the GTK themes, meaning anything that used those style sheets (file manager, terminal) looks like garbage, with many apps being plain unusable. Using Pantheon Tweaks to "switch back" to the correct theme fixed the issue, but I'm guessing flushing the cache would have had similar results. That's the great (and terrible) thing about Arch: beyond being on the bleeding edge, it's also Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. 🖖

For me, the worst part is that release notes are not stored as tag annotations, and the only reason why that I can fathom is really obnoxious vendor lock-in. I still use prefer GitHub over GitLab or bitbucket because the former make my eyes bleed and the latter is owned by the people who develop Jira, but lack of alternatives does not make GitHub good.

  1925. I'm intrigued by the comment about there already being a Linux driver for the Xilinx co-processor and it theoretically being usable on 7040 devices—feel like looking into it and reporting back? Because if it is, it makes it 50x more likely that I'll be buying that AMD Framework laptop (or a GPD Win 2 Max 2) in the next year.

  1926. I will bet you a dollar that when Microsoft retires the NT kernel, they'll switch to using the Linux* kernel. Now, NT may be around for another five years or fifty, but I don't see Microsol developing another kernel. *Imagine if they didn't and adopted XNU or, even more hilariously, HURD!

  1928. A true story, though coming to you third-hand. Modern Physics class (for majors), preparing for a lab where the students will be using radioactive button sources. The professor is trying to contextualize the risk of the radiation dose the students will be receiving and explains that tons of things in life are radioactive, such as bananas. A student (who I'm told was generally very bright) turns pale, raises their hand. "But Professor!" the student says, "My boyfriend loves bananas! Are you saying I'm getting irradiated from him?" The professor, without missing a beat, says, "Well, dosage goes as 1/r^2." (the joke, for you non-physicists, is that the "more intimate" the student and their SO were, the higher the (minuscule) radiation exposure) Also: I have a "Squishable" (precursor to Squishmallows) spherical cow I got in college. His name is Maxwell Bessel.

  1932. I connect so much with that feeling of wanting to be universally liked. It's only in the last year that I've embraced the validation of being disliked by certain groups. That is, based on by country of birth and my political views, I've been called a "traitor" and been told that my family surely spits on me. I was also unceremoniously fired from a job for calling out dangerous and wasteful practices and making "enemies" with those entrenched in the system. It took a lot of personal reflection, but at the end of the day, I realized that I'd much rather be hated for holding the right beliefs than tolerated or even loved by people who are actively seeking to make the world worse. John, as an author of several "banned books," I hope you can see the value in that distinction as well—which, in my mind, is an honor on par with a Pulitzer—that the messages you're sharing are so powerful, they frighten people who seek to oppress others and stifle thought.

    1
  1937. My hottest take: Micropython / Circuitpython is good, actually. Two factors at play: - 90% of the uses for a microcontroller do not require close to the full power of the microcontroller, and 50% of the remaining 10% already have a hyper-efficient upython library that you can leverage for those fiddly bits - The ability to prototype or debug your code in real time with zero iteration time via the REPL is the language's "killer app."
    1
  1938. This was such an interesting question, I looked it up, and the answer is: it depends on the distro. For some—like SUSE—the answer is "HECK NO!" For others like Arch, it's "Pls no," meaning you can find scripts to do it complete with all the reasons not to do it and the things to do instead (read: use /etc/aliases)

  1958. ​ @Moosa27 True, but there's a separate area of AI research that's focused on creating models from video footage (for example, in autonomous driving tech), so it's conceivable that you could bootstrap your training dataset using those techniques.
    1
  1959.  @Moosa27  💯 GIGO is a thing, though synthetic training data generation has been used to excellent effect for decades going back as far as GBMs. Still, I'm always going to be more bullish on unsupervised and reinforcement learning (like GANs) when it comes to actually useful AI for a lot of the reasons you mention. The problem, of course, is that what you save in training data you more than lose in model complexity, time to convergence, computation (scoring) time and, ultimately, cost.

  1963. While I think these use cases are noble, I do want to caution that a model being "open source," "permissively licensed" or "open weight" is only half the issue—if the training dataset is not open as well, there's a near certainty that the models were trained on copyrighted material. It's amazing that the computer vision models were trained on widely available open datasets, but they're coupling that capability with GPT-2, which was trained on CommonCrawl, which just indiscriminately scraped the web. CommonCrawl claims their dataset constitutes "fair use," but time will tell whether that's legally defensible—let alone morally justified. There's also the very real fact that transformer models are taking system resources and draining your battery / driving up your power bill. If you're vision impaired, I'm sure that's a fair trade-off. But for other people who neither need nor want alt text, performing this inferences should be opt-in and disabled by default. Anyway, that's my 2¢. Ultimately, Mozilla is being a lot more ethical here than pretty much anyone else. But every proposed application of GenAI should be met with at least some degree of skepticism.
    1
  1964. ​ @Poldovico Yes, for this specific use case, I agree. But I also understand the perspective that there is no ethical use of system built unethically, and, at the very least, it should be a conversation.
    1
  1965.  @Poldovico  Really bad example, since the current medical consensus is that the results of those studies have little—if any—scientific value (the results and conclusions were wrong and likely set back our understanding by decades). Also pretty bold of you to trot out that example to someone with my pfp and last name, but 🤷‍♂️
    1
  1966.  @Poldovico  Again, I agree with you about the specific. However, I still think it's something we should always keep in mind in order to ensure that the benefits outweigh the potential harms (which, again! in this case they do!)

  1998. My favorite work of fiction is Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex which absolutely subverts this trope in the Tachikoma think-tanks. The child-like Tachikomas are fascinated by humanity, and, having access to all of human knowledge, expound at lengths on metaphysics and philosophy and what it means to "be Human," but, contrary to the anthem of a song by that title, they don't actually want to become "real boys" and instead just want to experience select parts of the human experience that they're extremely curious about. In the end, the Tachikomas give us an optimistic answer to the franchise's fundamental existential question: How do we humans hold onto ourselves in a world where we are losing connections to the physical world and where consciousness itself is on a path to becoming a Jungian collective?

  2045. So what I'm getting from this video is that Apollo was definitely an extraterrestrial who crash-landed in the Mediterranean, hijacked a boat, landed on Delphi and then, using his advanced alien technology, ruled the Aegean as a God, injecting himself into the Pantheon for convenience—"Oh yeah, um... the hot chick with the bow is totally my, uh, sister. Yeah, that's right." During his time on Earth, sure he brought some cool musical jams and did some neat party tricks, but he was also a vain, consent-violating horndog who—directly or indirectly—caused the death of pretty much every human he slept with.

  2047. So here's the thing--and let's talk about just the SRD. Copyleft licenses go both ways. If any part of the SRD text contains content written not by WoTC/Hasbro but adopted from a community contributor (as Dancey intended), then isn't it the case that Hasbro literally cannot re-license the SRD without the contributor's consent? I am not a lawyer, but this has been the explanation I've read about why, for instance, the Linux kernel is still on an older edition of the GPL--regardless of Linus' feelings on GPLv3, the Linux Foundation could not alter the license of the kernel without the consent of every single contributor (or removing the contributions from the hold-outs).

  2069.  @joshallen128  Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but the only way I see to solve this problem would be for GPLv4 to be explicitly incompatible with components that didn't cary the same end-user protections found under GPLv3. That means no Linux kernel, no WINE or Proton (LGPL), no scikit-learn (BSD 3-Clause). That means it's not happening.

  2072. Been using COSMIC since Friday, and I've been positively giddy about it. Hearing your critiques, I clocked, "Oh yeah, I had that issue¹, oh for sure, that would be nice," but it didn't change my glowingly positive opinion. About halfway through, I realized why the cognitive dissonance—I don't love COSMIC despite the bugs, but because of them. Since I grew out my neckbeard and actually started caring about my DE (ca 2020), everything I've used has been boring. Either: - Boring because it just works (Budgie, Pantheon, sway), or - Boring because it requires an hour of reading through config files and recommend extras (Hyprland, KDE) COSMIC is the first DE I've used since, I wanna say, Mir that has felt exciting, partially because the learning curve is gentle (config through a generous, but not overwhelming number of GUIs; keyboard shortcuts and window management features I'm still discovering on my own; hybrid tiler with training wheels) and because things don't just work (mostly it's been Wayland issues with flatpaks), it's exciting, challenging and rewarding when I find a workaround or solution. This is the "OG" Linux experience that got me hooked in 2006 with Dapper Drake—90% daily driveable with 10% charlie foxtrot—and I'm so delightfully surprised I get to experience it again. ¹Not the screen flickering though—AMD 6700XT here has been rock solid with dual display. Especially since OBS didn't capture it, are you sure you don't have to loose monitor cable?

I don't really think most people using CC-BY-NC really intend those restrictions—I think they're just trying to prevent people from selling their art on Redbubble—and CC really needs a new variant that's better thought out.

In other words, we'd see more of the approach mentioned at 10:19--not enough processors? Build cars with fewer processors!

  2127. Kinda doubt Google will care too much if they have to give up Chrome. My guess is that, depending on how they do their accounting, it actually loses them money, but it's worth having around to exert influence in setting the "reference" browser implementation (though maybe I'm grossly underestimating the amount of telemetry they collect and sell). In any case, given the centrality of Edge on Windows, it seems like Microsol will naturally exert more control over Chromium, whether they officially buy Chrome or not, and that's not historically been a good thing.

  2157. Brodie, are you having the issue where menu dropdowns and right-click context menus refuse to render? Tenacity, LibreOffice and a few other applications are completely unusable for me, and since Alpha 5, I've been splitting way more time between COSMIC (which I do daily) and my Pantheon fallback. I'm glad they're rolling out accessibility features, and the new changes to workspace have been a godsend, but I'd honestly prefer a less feature rich MVP that was a lot more stable and bug-free, so I hope they're not incurring too much tech debt.

  2158.  @l-const  If the issue is still there when COSMIC hits Beta, I might just go ahead and do a full system wipe and reinstall. It's been about 2-1/2 years, so I'll totally buy that there's some misconfigured cruft somewhere.

  2159.  @hermdude  Oh, interesting. That's an avenue I could explore. Not stacking—I'm almost always using tiling—but I can definitely mess around with the "focus follows" settings and see if I have the issue when an application is the only one active.

  2160.  @mmstick  Thanks! Looking forward to seeing if that fixes it when it gets merged. I also want to be clear: I'm a yuuge COSMIC Stan. I love what y'all are building enough to daily drive it, warts and all. So I really hope it doesn't sound like I'm just relentlessly complaining.

  2161.  @HelloHuman1  On the whole, I thought the CGI in The 100 was great. It's just the superhero shows where they phone it in.

  2163. Looks like HX 370 mini-PCs are on the market now, though they're about double the price point of a high-end console.

  2164. Fox bit a Democratic representative on Capitol Hill last year and was euthanized (for allegedly having rabies). I expected it to be all Tucker Carlson talked about that week...

  2165. Why do your clips from Google I/O sound like a Programmers Are Also Human video?

  2166. I learned it as Kurr-Chauv from an American physics professor, but I vaguely remember our resident Polish faculty member saying it differently.

  2167.  @wewemcrhyne  While I found several research papers backing OP's assertion, it doesn't look like any formulations have hit the market. That said, I did find Rb-82 Chloride in a medication database, but its use was strictly as a radiopharmaceutical agent for PET scans.

  2168. I'm not an expert, but it sounds like these remote access features only work because there's a modem in the car and you're accessing the auto-start via their remote servers. Weren't you just railing about Arlo and the promise of remote-services-free-for-life always being a scam? To be clear, what Merc, BMW and others do, charging you a subscription for hardware is scummy AF. And Hyundai not participating in the anti-Right to Repair FUD is a big ❤ in my book. But this sounds like a different issue: why can't these functions be triggered over Bluetooth or LoRaWAN? Why should I need to phone Hyundai's servers when I want to turn on my car's AC?

  2169. Oh jeez—I just started a new job, and there's a holiday potluck this coming Friday. I am so nervous about it already.

  2170. I'm going to say something unpopular: another way you can vote with your wallet is to pay more for the "lifetime subscription" / having the features unlocked on purchase, so long as: - The purchase transfers to all future owners - The value of the car is still in line with the price after upsells. Because telling automakers, "I'm fine paying for heated seats, but this subscription idea is a joke" will hopefully get the product manager canned who convinced BMW to sink millions into the infrastructure required to maintain that rent-seeking behavior.

  2171. Oh 💩 I almost downvoted this thinking it was more crypto spam. Yeah, John's (writers have) always been attuned to the wonderful world of Asian pop supergroups.

  2172. Periodic reminder that the US Dept of State has funded TOR and the FBI has recommended use of good ad-blockers. So yeah, there's an argument to be made that these technologies are indeed linked to terrorism.

  2173. Greetings from the future! About six months ago Mozilla showed that 6:25 is demonstrably false and that clicking the dislike button has no impact on recommendations!

  2174.  @felixthehuman  Oh God, that was literally 20 years ago—I really couldn't tell you.
