Anyone that has 300.000$ per instance, the know-how to set it up, the means to support it and can outbid OpenAI, yes.

I don’t see that happening on a large scale, just like I don’t see tons of DeepSeek instances being hosted cheaper than the original any time soon.

If they really are afraid of that they can always license it in a way that forbids reselling.

Hosting a model of that size requires ~800GB of VRAM. Even if they release their models, it wouldn’t make them obsolete since most people and many companies couldn’t host it either way.

Pretty cool, do they have a beta branch that follows the daily builds?

There’s two different ways to update modern Linux system, either you apply the updates directly or you wait until the next reboot to apply them.

Fedora KDE allows you to choose which method you want to use when using the software center UI:

I dunno why the software center forces you to reboot for updates

Because it’s more stable.

The big drawback of updating immediately is that you might end up with incompatible packages. Any application that is running while an update for it is installed will keep using the old version until the application is restarted or the system is rebooted. The kernel and some system applications never exit, that means that they will keep using the old version until you reboot.

Roomba? It takes less time to just vacuum the place than it does for the fucking vacuum to realize it’s been humping the same chair leg for most of its battery charge.

If you are willing to put in some work, Valetudo is fantastic: https://valetudo.cloud/

My two robot vacuums have been working for 5 years with no intervention other than emptying the bin every 2 weeks and dusting off the sensors when it complains.

Assistants?

Same as above, if you are willing to put in some work, Home Assistant includes a voice assistant and they ship devices now with everything preinstalled so you can plug in and go: https://www.home-assistant.io/green/

Simplified Sliding Sync is now implemented natively in Synapse as of 1.114, and so there is no longer any need to run a Sliding Sync Proxy in order to use the API.

Nice, setting up the old sliding sync server was a pain.

I’m currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

FreeTube has significantly more features, so there’s not much reason to switch either way.

On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.

A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.

The common Logitech steering wheels should work if you have the steam-devices package installed on your system. Alternatively you can get the necessary udev rules from the oversteer repo: https://github.com/berarma/oversteer/tree/master/data/udev

(oversteer is also pretty handy)

I’m on holiday right now but I can get back to you on how to get Assetto Corsa with Content Manager to work.

Which wheel do you use?

What issue do you have?

What language and what sort of code analysis do you need?

I’ll stick to windows. I don’t want to deal with those people."

That’s a strange conclusion to come to, installing an OS doesn’t come with the obligation to deal with anyone.

I like to play games on Steam but that doesn’t mean I have to deal with the atrocity that is the Steam forums.

So what’s the big fuggin’ problem here? That Intel won’t use the term “recall”?

Would you say the same thing about a car?

“We know the door might fall off but it has not fallen off yet so we are good.”

The chances of that door hurting someone are low and yet we still replace all of them because it’s the right thing to do.

These processors might fail any minute and you have no way of knowing. There’s people who depend on these for work and systems that are running essential services. Even worse, they might fail silently and corrupt something in the process or cause unecessary debugging effort.

If I were running those processors in a company I would expect Intel to replace every single one of them at their cost, before they fail or show signs of failing.

Those things are supposed to be reliable, not a liability.

Android also encrypts the user data by default since Android 10 (2019).

Android also has different permissions the apps need to ask for just like iOS. Including not allowing background apps to use the camera/GPS/mic by default.

Sodium-based batteries currently have a lower energy density than lithium-based batteries so they are only useful in some applications.

And yet I do not think I will be using my Bosch in 25 years because some cheap internal plastic part will have broken down while the Makita would still run.

My dad has an old Makita cordless drill from 1995 which he used for everything from assembling Ikea furniture to drilling holes in cement walls. Complete metal innards, full metal case, battery that’s big and heavy enough to bludgeon somebody to death with.

Until one day I bought a fancy new Bosch cordless screwdriver with Li-ion battery, brushless motor and 1/4 the size and weight of the Makita.

At first he laughed at me for buying a toy, then he tried it. He ordered one as well the week after and uses it pretty much exclusively since then.

Still keeps the Makita box and drill around purely for the retro look but even with fresh batteries the amount of torque they put out is not even in the same league.

Obviously that is the exception rather than the rule and most technological advances went into making companies more profits instead of building better products, but there are some advancements that made power tools better. Li-ion batteries and brushless motors being two of the big ones.

I have an AMD GPU and play all my Switch games on the last yuzu EA build on Fedora. Works pretty much flawlessly.
