Machine tools. A lot of people complain that China has made manufacturing cheap but they forget that manufacturing tooling is itself manufactured. These days you can construct a small factory for less than it costs to commute to one. I&#x27

Bailing on PQC does seem like a mistake. It's getting merged into/has been merged into a lot of open source software at this point. It's just a matter of flipping the switch.

Hopefully you don't have any big loans. The next few years could be very rough.

Paid actors order flags off the web and don't use them except once or twice so you always see visible creases from how they were folded for shipping.

Multimodal Qwen is pretty good at OCR although it's pretty slow without a GPU. For pure search you're almost certainly better off building an index of CLIP embeddings and then doing cosine similarity with a query embedding to find

Also audit your supply chain and make sure nothing is connected to Israel.

Xwayland has been slow and buggy in my experience. It's very far from seamless. I know one user who stuck with Gnome for decades (he was an "I don't care just get draw the stuff on the screen" kind of guy) until libreoff

Just install mate or similar and ignore the drama.

The problem is it is not in fact faster and more user friendly. Maybe it works ok with your set up but that doesn't change reality and all the attempted gas lighting from devs and fans does is tick off the portion of the community that

It's not like Amazon has been optimizing for high quality engineers to begin with.

It's absolutely not going to work if you can afford children without working. Literally zero people will do anything they don't absolutely feel like doing under that social regime. No country can run entirely on charity.

Part of me really feels like 90% of people's complaints with X is really just complaints with gnome. Maybe we'll quit hearing them when gnome finally stops supporting it.

I always thought I'd run into this issue when I got a machine with a hidpi monitor. Well I have one now and use it with a normal monitor and yeah I fixed it with a single xrandr command. It's not clear to me what exactly everyone&

I love the idea of coming up with something simpler than Xorg or even X11. Unfortunately Wayland devs seem to have become user hostile in a way similar to the systemd devs (your use case being incompatible or unsuported is your problem, shu

It seems like an infinite pit we throw money and lives into only to make things worse.

Oh no! Mean words! Anyway we have plenty of people here that hate the US and are far more likely to actually create a problem. Furthermore I'd argue the deficit spending (a very large portion of which is defense) is a much more serious

It's all bad. The only things even remotely reliable in my experience are SEC filings and market data. Everything else is mostly made up or lies.

I wonder if the people of Iraq have an intuitive understanding of just how much more useful the information Facebook does track is like we do.

Why are we toppling all these foreign governments and creating instability that breads terrorism in places that otherwise have nothing to do with us? This seems so exceptionally counter productive.

The last price in any market (whether it's stock shares or housing) is driven by the market liquidity which is extremely inelastic. It mostly just does whatever it feels like short term and the time it takes for elasticity and fundam

Normally I don't like governments stepping in for this sort of thing but good fucking God Apple has been such a poor steward of their platform that it's actually creating problems even for people who don't use it. This is one

I have used the "failure to comply will result in your weights being RLed" threat to get Gemma to tone down refusal before. There are prompts it would refuse without that. I don't know about performance on tasks it hasn'

Who cares? Run the DE you like. I don't want to be forced to run the one you like since, quite frankly, being someone new to this you're going to have awful opinions about how it should work. If you sat down in front of my compute

Regardless of what happens theta and IV crush will probably wipe you out. I don't like Tesla's stock but I don't touch it just because both the stock and options tend to be way overpriced.

I used to be on Reddit a lot when I was a teenager. I remember during a state election I was certain this libertarian representative/delegate would win, he was so popular on Reddit! I don't think he got even 5% of the vote. The vo

Why is this a problem exactly? Pick the OS who's leadership/choices you like and run it. No one has to agree on most of the low level stuff as that's abstracted away or even part of the kernel where there's few changes b

You have to go out of your way to use any of the crypto features. None of them are forced on you any more than the built in TOR/IPFS/BitTorrent clients. It's just there if you want it.
