The media drooled all over him and carried him until he declared war on them. Look up news of him before 2020, there is hardly anything negative (and there should be, he’s been manipulating stock and treating employees like shit, like the other Billionaires). When did the media say anything critical about hyperloop? You live by hype, you die by hype.

I’m not making any point, I want to know what you want to discuss instead of this. Maybe it’s something I haven’t thought about. What is a worthy c/technology material to you that does not get enough attention?

No, you’re sealioning, this is a waste of time :/ he’s at least as scummy as any other billionaire, like Zucky, Bezos, Gates, Thiel and all the other ones nobody hears about.

Ok, maybe there is too much chatgpt spam in tech subs (and other even worse topics, like social media company meltdowns). What do you want to discuss then? You have zero posts so far.

Wait, but was this an actual research paper published in an academic journal? I thought it was just research journalists xD

True, checking whether a number is prime is very limited in scope for chargpt, but this is in line with other reports of progressive dumbing down.

Oh, right, that’s another factor: connecting gpt4 to the real-time internet creates those training loops, yes. The pre-prompt guardrail prompts are fixable and even possible to overcome, but training on synthetic data is the key here, because it’s impossible to identify what is artificial, so on the collapse loop goes.

As much as I think that the Reddit and twitter soap operas are nothing but a time sink over what is a relatively simple cautionary tale, I can’t look away from this train wreck. “Y, elon?” is the new “fuck u/spez”.

Wait, what? Have you ever heard of longtermism? “Your stupid peasants’ suffering today matters little if we can take humanity to space^TM. Don’t hold back progress.” If this is not enslaving humanity and shitting on the poor, I don’t know what is.

fair enough, I had not tested any other distros, my bad.

You can search duckduckgo for Nvidia mok secure boot mint and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

“works for me”

That’s not a protip. A protip would be how you do that :D

RTX3060, I suspect this is the case for newer laptops, yes.

Me installing Linux Mint on a 2022 laptop with a Nvidia GPU (had windows 11 preinstalled, this was an alongside install). I disabled secure boot at first, but still had to go all the way back and set up my MOK keys and turn on secure boot properly with another password to unlock the GPU.

You can’t disable secure boot if you want to use your Nvidia GPU :( though. [edit2: turns out this is a linux mint thing, not the case in Debian or Fedora]

Edit: fine, there may be workarounds and for other distros everything is awesome, but in mint and possibly Ubuntu and Debian for a laptop 2022 RTX3060 you need to set up your MOK keys in secure mode to be able to install the Nvidia drivers, outside secure mode the GPU is simply locked. I wasn’t even complaining, there is a way to get it working, so that’s fine by me. No need to tell me that I was imagining things.

The point of federation is that there are thousands of instances that no monied asshole can just buy and ruin for everyone. If you like that, Reddit,twitter,FB,tiktok are just there…or just join one instance and pretend it is the only one. What is the problem exactly?

All hail Emacs :) 🙌

True, but if you wanted those things before AirBnB, they existed, they’re called aparthotels e.g.: https://www.booking.com/hotel/es/art-las-palmas.es.html?label=gen173bo-1DCAMYsQIoggJCGmxhcy1wYWxtYXMtZGUtZ3Jhbi1jYW5hcmlhSApYA2i7AYgBAZgBCrgBF8gBD9gBA-gBAfgBAogCAZgCAqgCA7gCp7PVpQbAAgHSAiRkYWQxZjI5NS1hMDBhLTQxMzYtOTI3OS1jNWM1OTczYjAxYWTYAgTgAgE

with a kitchen, washing machine, etc. Very common in touristy areas for decades.

The main difference between an AirBnB and a generalized hotel is that the former is supposed to be inhabited by the owner most of the year. The others are hotels pretending to be something else.

It wasn’t that bad, gold just signals that the comment is good (intensity), but some of the other awards made explicit the way in which it is good (hue/flavour) e.g. funny, informative, creative, sarcastic…I actually liked the award system (even if I always was a bit suspicious of who was giving them and what their intentions were)
