Framework and ThinkPad have both been a really positive experience.

These comments often indicate a lack of understanding about ai.

Ml algorithms have been in use for nearly 50 years. They certainly become much more common since about 2012, particularly with the development of CUDA, It’s not just some new trend or buzz word.

Rather, what we starting to see are the fruits of our labour. There are so many really hard problems that just cannot be solved with deductive reasoning.

The mistral-7b is a good compromise of speed and intelligence. Grab it in a GPTQ 4bit.

Further TL;DR

In preparation for an IPO:

Reddit: you must now only use our app to prop up our add revenue. No third party apps (unless you pay us handsomely)

Everyone: no thanks, just make our own alternative

Snap is a sandboxed environment to install applications in.

Flatpak is a more portable implementation of the same broad idea, it downloads a chroot and runs applications from within using a separate program called bubblewrap (one could, in theory, use chroot to run apps from within the downloaded flatpak images, bubblewrap offers further isolation through things like namespaces and cgroups etc. )

Snap, unlike flatpak, is a Canonical specific implementation that has a reputation for breaking a lot of things.

PL can have a large impact on features, bugs, bug reports, troubleshooting, performance and documentation. Particularly when dev resources are limited.

It’s hard to see how this opinion holds any water.

Rust is a great choice for a shell built as an interactive shell that doesn’t have to be core to the OS. Over C++ this also makes development more accessible to young programmers.

Steroid use does not make someone evil. Not even absurd dosages. Drug use does not make someone evil.

It’s unfair to lump a whole cast of perfectly reasonable people into the same lot as this awful person.

There is a US police problem AND they tend to use PEDs, that isn’t causation. Even if correlation can provide evidence of causation, it’s much simpler to conclude that many cops are insecure and seek out PEDS. That’s ok, relatively speaking, I don’t care about drug use, it’s murder that upsets me.

Is there a way to join a self hosted instance that isn’t federated?

My friends and I have a small Lemmy at my place with WireGuard. No ssl though.

It’s much the same where I come from.

The high quality institutions have Linux in their labs (either a separate lab or dual boot) and a server with say access for training ML models etc.

The dodgy ones have only Windows with no software and require students to buy a second laptop and install Linux. If they don’t the students fail. Those tests were done in handwriting but they are still an accredited university :(

I have no clue how dangerous running Firefox as root is, but it begs the question…why would you do that?

Create a user account for managing things and create a separate user for each service and/or containers.

For managing things use tmux with ssh, if you want to manage files etc. just use ranger/lf/mc. One can also mount the file system with sshfs.
