I’m in like 3 AI design forums for some reason but whenever I want to start measuring productivity gains I’m ignored so try that for the least amount of effort required.

Last I checked it’s true that you can get framerate in the area of or even exceeding that of Windows. What’s rarely mentioned however is that frame pacing can suck (119 frames in 1 second then 1 frame in 1 second averages to 60 frames per second to give an over exaggerated example) and will contribute to stuttery feel despite adequate framerates.

I’ve seen it enough times to see a pattern. This post is riddled with tech bro language, there’s no denying it. More of it is coming with everything that entails.

Thankfully there’s still openrsync. I didn’t even realise I was already using it so I’m not invested into arguing further. To all vanilla rsync users, Godspeed.

Lol, I’m not a court of law, I’m a person. I can make my own judgments based on what someone said and how they said it.

You can look at the tone of the whole post to understand where the author is mentally. You can also make an educated guess about who will want to work on a project that’s being coded with LLMs. If I’m wrong remind me and I’ll own it. But I don’t think I am.

Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.

I think some people are stochastic parrots and some are not. I think most of our true understanding of things comes from escaping our limitations. Why so many people want to become a stochastic parrot is beyond me though.

Now to the future, because we’re not done yet by a long shot. The security reports keep rolling in. I’m working on a bunch of CVEs right now. Luckily I’ve been joined by some other very good developers with great systems development skills and security knowledge. Some of these people came to my attention partly because of all the rage happening at the moment, so I get some rage storm clouds have silver linings. Watch out for some credits for some great new rsync developers in the next release.

The project is being taken over by vibe coders, yay.

Title makes it sound like a done deal but so far there’s a promise that there will be a plan in a few months.

The shift to Linux is happening and every French government ministry is required to put its migration plan in place by the fall of 2026, including considering complementary software such as antivirus, collaborative tools, and so on.

PS3s had native Sony-sanctioned Linux support at the time - it was marketing for computational prowess of Cell processor. Funnily enough removing it as an anti-piracy measure was what prompted community to jailbreak PS3. Steam Machine doesn’t offer anything nearly as attractive, it’s just a PC and inference requires way more VRAM than it offers (8GB which is pretty awful for modern games too).

These things run on rather specialised SoCs so it’s not like somebody is going to buy them wholesale to train machine learning models. Valve already monopolised PC gaming market so there’s nowhere to run with that hardware really.

That’s how modchips work in general but after many years of failures PlayStation security mechanisms are quite sophisticated. Jailbreaks in such cases involve chains of multiple exploits of different kinds. Hardware is often involved but software based exploits will be the most sought after as they’re easiest to for the end user.

It was patched and blocked in 2022. The most common way to jailbreak stuff these days is to stash it offline for an extended period of time while waiting for a public exploit.

It might be cheaper than either given that Sony subsidises their hardware and PS5 comes with 16GB of GDDR6. Getting PS5 on firmware old enough makes this a very niche thing though.

They put out LTS releases which are nice for a home server where you need relatively recent packages and a couple of years of support so that you don’t have to babysit it too much. On a server it’s much closer to Debian experience as you don’t have to deal with snap, flatpak and all that weirdness.

I used Ubuntu back then too but I’m a Gnome person so I missed out on this innovation from Canonical.

The only ads I notice is that apt shows how many packages can be updated through an optional paid Expanded Security Maintenance. This isn’t very obtrusive but I’m on a 4 year old LTS release currently so things might have changed.

I’ll be upgrading soon since my home server is still at 22.04 and I need new ZFS to expand my drive array which was made possible not too long ago. This thing has been running the same Ubuntu install for 7 or 8 years now. It’s been so long that I thought I was hacked by Iranians when I noticed OpenClaw folder in ~/config/. Turns out it was unofficial Captain Claw port that I played ages ago when this thing was still a desktop. I highly recommend this OpenClaw

That was random but I thought someone might find it funny. I’m a bit high. Sorry.

If something is public domain then it’s incompatible with copyleft licenses, like GPL under which Linux is licensed.

Linux team is trolling AI boosters who can’t certify their code is clean unless they trained models themselves.

Not only copyright is dead but so is licensing of things in general. This means there’ll be less original work from both commercial and non-commercial projects. Commercially there won’t be ways to profit so why bother. On the libre licensing front why would you contribute code to GPL licensed projects or release art under Creative Commons if it’s going to be license washed anyway?

Given that nobody is able to guarantee that code used for training was used according to it’s license, this means no hallucinated code in Linux. Nice.

For a FOSS enthusiast, this is a total non-starter. We don’t migrate to Linux just to swap one proprietary black box for another. If I cannot audit the code that sits between my binaries and the internet, I am not interested.

That’s hardcore. Are there any network cards with fully open firmware? How does one learn to audit code for how many layers there are to this? Does this person has time for anything other than auditing code? Or is this and other claims a satire?
