I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

Tanks roll in and the net number of terrorists goes up instantaneously. And no, I don’t mean radicalizing children. Fragging COs would have better anti-terrorist outcomes.

Lmao wait what? 🎵It’s no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy🎵

I still find myself trying to search like that every once in a while :(

This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

Screw the running water and antibiotics. I don’t need no machinery or amenities, give me cheese!

Computers are cool though

That’s why I used to use arch btw

Literally just furries taking over

The real paradox is this opinion coming from Twitter

This is a great move! Facilitating a direct conversation between corporation and customer is great for all!

I went from Arch to NixOS and I’ve been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it’s just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you’re comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I’m not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)

Isn’t this the/almost the last one, or was that a fever dream I had?

To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.

I’m not sure if you mean gearing yourself up for learning or inspiring others to learn, but my answer might be the same for both.

Analogies. They’re primarily how I learn and understand things, as well as how I try to convey things to others. Being able to connect some dots to what you already know, even if they’re vastly different ideas, really helps (me) solidify new information and find a driving force to uncover more.

It could just be my wiring, but I think a lot of how we understand the world is in the terms of our previous understanding. There’s a real possibility of misguided bias though, like knowing all about hammers so everything reminds you of nails.

I was simulation-pilled in college, so that adds up.

I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.

If you like obsidian, synching works well to at least selfhost your data.

Data in memory will be offloaded to swap space. I doubt we’d notice any fluctuations since we’re part of the simulation, but externally it could slow to a crawl and basically be useless. They might shut it down, hopefully just to refactor. But again we probably wouldn’t notice any downtime, even if it’s permanent.

Wow, finally a handheld with malware-like bloat and a near guarantee of serious design flaws!

The fucking archers
