I used to wonder if I would ever walk on the moon or Mars during my lifetime when I was a kid. I miss that

The solution isn’t being able to stay on old versions. Software should improve over time, not fuck you over

Solid advice!

And remember that “DE hopping” is much easier than distro hopping, as you can install multiple and try them out without reinstalling your system.

Personally I’m a shill for Plasma, as I think that their motto “simple by default, powerful when needed” is very true. Out of the box, you get a grandma-ready UX that’s pretty intuitive to any Windows or Mac user, but once you start to dig in there’s so many “power user” features. Now every time I’m on a different system I instantly miss all the little QoL that I never even think about, and almost everything is neatly packaged in the system settings or context menus, without having to install extensions or set up a dozen different components

Place the spool on the bed set to 60-80°C, then put an empty filament box that’s missing the bottom side (when flat) on top of it. Place silica, make some holes on the top side. Some youtuber made tests and this method lands pretty nicely in between low-end and high-end dedicated dryers

It’s difficult to be a shittier company than OpenAI, but Perplexity seems to be trying hard.

I’m partial to kill -KILL

If you double click them on windows it opens some system info app iirc, maybe that’s where the confusion is

In no way given the chaotic context window from all the other models were those tokens the appropriate next ones to pick unless the generating world model predicting those tokens contained a very strange and unique mind within it this was all being filtered through.

Except for the fact that LLMs can only reliably work if they are made to pick the “wrong” (not the most statistically likely) some of the time - the temperature parameter.

If the context window is noisy (as in, high-entropy) enough, any kind of “signal” (coherent text) can emerge.

Also, you know, infinite monkeys.

They ascended from userland to kernelspace

Oh what a world it would be if people like Wozniak and Swartz weren’t fucked over by their original techbro “friends”

How dare people share information on the internet!

Uh, source?

That’s just how locales work. When you set the language, you also get the associated date/time representation, unit system, etc
