Most of them seemed to be giving it a fair go but Linus himself seemed to be treating it more like a Cheap Car Challenge from Top Gear. He was cracking (bad) jokes about “just Linux things” before he’d even started and he gave up pretty much straight away. The problems he was having with Discord seemed more like Discord issues than Linux issues.

I game on Linux without issue. Literally 95% of games just work without issue. Deathloop never ran well and Routine (a UE game) for some reason kept want to install and uninstall a package each time I ran it (but it played fine). I don’t think I’ve found another game that doesn’t play and I recently bought ARC Raiders.

What’s wrong with this? I’ve found AI to be really helpful for debugging. It doesn’t mean humans aren’t doing it to but AI can spot this that people would miss.

I kinda get it though. I think every single time in my life I’ve sent a document in the non-Microsoft format I’ve got a reply saying they couldn’t open it. That’s from LibreOffice and from Mac.

I’m not even backing up.

They keep saying this is to keep kids safe online but when I’m teaching my kid about internet safety one of the most important points is to not share personal information.

All parents have the kit to stop their kids from getting to porn, they’re just not using it.

There’s these sort of crystal things you can use instead of deodorant. You rub them on your pits when they wet and they don’t produce any smell but block the bad ones. I used one for a while, it was good.

It was a weird time to like computers. Nobody had an antivirus, and if they didn’t it never got updated. You’d just take floppy disks around to your friend’s house and plug them in. Windows gave everything admin rights.

To be honest, I was using a computer for about five years before the internet happened and I never got a virus.

I’d wait to point blame over this, we have no idea what happened. The Iranians were murdering thousands of their own civilians just a few weeks ago, they’re hardly a reliable source of information. They’re obviously going to inflate the numbers and craft a story to whatever helps the regime.

If it’s filler then it’ll fade over time.

They could probably never actually do this. It seems that a trained model is some big mysterious thing that nobody really understands. They take some maths that’s so complicated barely anyone can understand it, feed it all the data they can possibly lay their hands on, then pump insane amounts of computational power through it. It’s the modern day equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster.

I was hoping to see the Iranians throw him off a balcony but this is good enough.

Sure he did.

Tbf, most companies would do anything for a $200,000,000 government contract.

How are Anthropic left wing? I thought they were regarded as being not much better than ChatGPT?

Not really buying it.

The lines being extra bendy.

My sound is fine. However my screen is going down to 0% brightness and won’t budge.

I like the silicone ones when they fit. I have some round the ear ones for jogging and they’re great. Never budge.

Why not LLM? When ChatGPT came out I was living a country where I didn’t speak much of the local language. GPT was a game changer, it didn’t just translate the words, it understood the context and it was much more useful.

Figured it out in about 30 seconds. I’m no genius, guess I got lucky.
