It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest.
I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness.
My goodness that’s awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?
This is a case where the class is led by a moron. That person should be reported.
Piracy for the students was justified because they had no other option. But outside of this school, if I were you and I needed the software again, I’d definitely use Octave without question. (Or Python if I’m willing to learn something new.)
The point is, if you have free and open source alternatives, use them. You’ll be better off.
Yeah, you’re right. Might as well go with AMD. NVidia works but isn’t needed. I think NVidia generally has low power draw though, so just check to make sure.
I’d buy a pre owned card from eBay.
Go with RTX 2070 Super which should be around your price point. If not, then RTX 2070 (not super).
Make sure returns are accepted, and seller has high rating (99%).
This except Ubuntu has fallen. Mint or PipOS are better now.
Yeah I did make that mistake.
I think if it’s separated from Ubuntu then it’s a nice excitement. I wish they just base it on Debian or some other distro.
You are ruling out intelligence without (very probably) being able to define it, just because you have a vague knowledge of how it works.
The problem in this mode of thinking is a) that you put human brains in a different pedestal, even though they follow physical processes to “predict the next word” and may be very well neural networks themselves, and b) you are ignoring data that shows intelligence in multiple areas of the more complex models because “oh it’s mindless because I know it’s predicting tokens”. c) you favor of data that shows edge cases or probably that come from lower quality models.
You’re not alone in this line of thinking.
Your mind is set. You’ll not recognize intelligence when you see it.
Where were the .bibisco2 files stored before they vanished?
I think you’re going by the English meaning of “conservative”. The word is badly chosen, because I don’t think they really are traditionalists. Probably “capitalist” would be a better fit. And paradoxically there are many things I find the “progressives” want to do which are in fact regressive. It’s a bit confusing and I think names should be changed to something else if it were up to me. Words have power, and words like “progressive” and “woke” have positive connotations while “conservative” has negative connotation which is sad; they don’t even apply anymore to the groups or ideas they represent.
I beg to differ. I think it’s very harmful.
Your description is too reductive. You and I are also auto completes in some sense. See in order to complete a sentence well, you have to have a good model of a vast number of things including physics, psychology, linguistics, logical reasoning, socio economics, irony, sarcasm, arithmetic and many other things.
It is currently unknown how much of these the complexity of the models and training process will allow, but they have been surprising us in every step. You wouldn’t expect a “just auto complete” to figure out rules of arithmetic, but it did. You wouldn’t expect it to answer tricky questions involving theory of mind, but it does. You wouldn’t expect it to solve graduate level questions but it is able to.
So it’s a bit too rash to expect it to not understand rm -rf as humor, if you don’t know which model you will talk to.
The smaller ones, sure, are dumb. But even GPT 3 will not recommend you to rm -rf; definitely not GPT 4.
I don’t need an AI helper for my OS, thank you. (What I need is to drop the push on snap.)
With moves like this, they are really foreshadowing what Windows has become (who ironically is finally dropping Cortana now).
I very much doubt that. You underestimate the emergent intelligence of these models.
Your reason of “wish to start fresh” doesn’t sound compelling.
Arch is stable, and works great. Biggest draw for NixOS is packages. I don’t think NixOS has anything to offer in packages that I can’t get in Arch. I’ll not advocate switching to an experimental distro with who knows what other headache, just because I can run Debian or rpm packages. Not for a daily driver.
Do it only if you are bored or something.
How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.
I hate that they also SEO’d the hell out of major search engines to show snap setup and installation instructions when anyone searches for installing a package. E.g. “arch install firefox” leads to https://snapcraft.io/install/firefox/arch which is downright dishonest marketing.
And snap has other issues, such as it’s very badly implemented. No sane person wants to see 100s of lop devices mounted on lsblk all the time.
Just like YouTube is a left wing cesspool with cancel culture?
Lol yeah not gonna happen.
