People are right to be worried and skeptical about AI

I honestly have gotten to hate how incompetent it often is because i do regularly try to squeeze something actual intelligent from it.

But other then that its like you said. Its very good for Low stake, common, boilerplate procedures and providing clear personalized instructions for non-techies. (and forgetful nerds).

Credit where credit is due & can’t argue with results.

You cant ask a youtube channel what distro best suit your specific usecase.

Also realistically no one wants to sit trough a video to check out a strangers recommendation for linux.

I do get that people are worried about the incompetence of AI but this topic and procedure is so bog standard i have more faith in chatgpt doing it then a human.

If you dont believe me, try it.

Ask chatgpt/claude/gemini “How to make a bootable linux media from windows” you will have to spend a long time trying before you find it fails on something this boilerplate.

Actually to find a good distro and instructions on how to install them i recommend using an ai chatbot.

Majority of people have never created a bootable media but its easy enough ai can guide them step by step.

YSK: you also don’t own games on steam, it’s all licenses and they can all be revoked.

That is why i archive pirated DRM-free copies of some games i know i will come back to for Nostalgia in many years.

Thats the thing.

There is basically no alternative. Firefox exists on the mercy of google which is its biggest donor.

There are very few attempts at a truly open source browser and neither can tackle the biggest problem, which is google pushing websites to adopt their standards, weaponizing ad income to guarantee compliance.

Currently more then 80% of internet users have a chromium browser while websites creation for many entities is often outsourced out of lack of own IT knowledge. When firefox dies there will be no economic insensitive to build sites accessible by anything but chromium.

Low key i wish this fires back into anarchy. I hate the corporate web and the only sites i like to see are those free of economic insensitive and all in on an ethical free digital world.

Its not just an issue in the US though

Just doing what makes sense is so easy even a child does a better job then literal government.

I speculate that this balanced out by the fact that a single one of these can more easily connect to the power grid and are more efficient to deploy and maintain in large quantities.

You could place these almost anywhere and they will generate something.

I meant that sentence quite literally, semiconductor is technology. My perspective is that original “moors law” is only a single example of what many people will understand when they hear the term in a modern context.

At some point where debating semantics and those are subjective, local and sometimes cultural. Preferable i avoid spending energy on fighting about such.

Instead il provide my own line of thinking towards a fo me valid reason of the term outside semiconductors. I am open to suggestions if there is better language.

From my own understanding i observe a pattern where technology (mostly digital technology but this could be exposure bias) gets improving at an increasingly fast rate. The mathematical term is exponential.

To me seeing such pattern is vital to understand whats going on. Humans are not designed to extrapolate exponential curves. A good example is AI, which large still sucks today but the history numbers don’t lie on the potential.

I have a rather convoluted way of speaking, its very unpractical.

Language,at best, should just get the message across. In an effective manner.

I envoke (reference) moores law to refer to the observation of exponential progress. Usually this gets my point across very effectively (not like such comes up often in my everyday life)

To me, moors law in semiconductors is the first and original example of the pattern. The fact that this interpretation is subjective has never been relevant to getting my point across.

Sure, but also no.

More’s law is at the most fundamental level a observation about the exponential curve of technological progress.

It was originally about semiconductor transistors and that is what Moore was specifically looking at but the observed pattern does 100% apply to other things.

In modern language the way language is used and perceived determines its meaning and not its origins.

Some of them may be hit and miss, they are from a different time.

The important thing to remember is Everett is a caricature and not a human being. He represents a specific type of exaggerated feelings that many people at some point experience but usually not express or act out on.

In an ironic way the people who are getting annoyed by his character are often expressing the same kind of feeling as Everett represents.

It would be nice to see a comic where he punches the artist self in a sense of self-awareness though.

All i did was a websearch for “Obsolete dictionary meaning”

Its the interpretation of www.merriam-webster.com which in its own words is “an Encyclopaedia Britannica company, America’s leading provider of language information for more than 180 years.”

I get that language is semantics, i use a lot of creative liberties with language all the time but i still think that “Not longer enough profit potential” is not covered under the term “Obsolete” You could argue some doubt but its a cold-hearted business, they don’t get the benefit of doubt. Also my expression doesn’t really need legal or practical value. I am glad to have said what i did.

I had some doubts people would get the joke. I should go add an /s

To answer your question it depends on the keyboard but i don’t actually care, the difference between - and – is just semantics to me.

Just google the character and copy paste it as needed. /s

That is one way to make it obvious your not acting in good faith.

You either didn’t bother to read or your reading comprehension is broken.

I tripple checked before posting. 1b describes technological fashion.

Leg prothesis are not out of fashion for people who need them.

There is no alternative clearly superior v2 product that i could find either.

I dont have any nitendo emulations but i guess this tells me i should collect some and save em on a harddrive just in case i ever need it.

Software preservation is a nobel act after all.

I’m in pain
