WSL. Native WSL can’t do anything.

It would be hard to leave home everyday as a depressed person. Also, he has been to therapy and mental hospitals, meaning the whole family is trying something. He couldn’t take care of himself alone. I believe working from home is a good alternative.

The dangerous thing about Quantum Computing is that it can keep usable computers out of consumer reach, making it necessary to use the Internet for anything.

But seeing quantum physics applied to the real world with concrete results is also pretty cool.

Facebook, Netflix and Spotify are bloatware.

Try finding work from home in your environment, maybe some freelance work. Once you’re able and structured from your work, then you’ll feel more safe about caring about yourself and your life. You’re very young, it’s a young age for giving up on everything. Freelance clients are much more understanding than normal office jobs. Build up your confidence and your independence and you’ll get there.

Not to mention the algorithms that lock your attention to the ad. YouTube does this a lot. I just watch all the commercial, because it knows well (through diffing and other techniques) what I will watch completely. I guess I’ll get used to it. I have also been clicking more on ads around the webpages, but I don’t think this is to my liking. The technology is just getting better. This is really bad, but it’s beyond salvation right now. I believe all we can do is mitigate the effects of ads on the Internet. I’m glad we have alternatives.

It doesn’t hurt to kill processes that will freeze the computer.

As long as that philosophy doesn’t reach FOSS philosophy, that’s fine. Imagine if Fediverse social media suddenly didn’t really want to “enshitify” their platforms, but included trackers and ads?

I don’t know about it being stable. I’ve run python scripts that opens lots of images before, and my OS (Linux Mint) let’s it empty my memory and freeze my computer, it isn’t even a sudo command - that isn’t stable behavior to me.

Windows ‘just works’? What about all the programs crashes that you need to go through endless YouTube tutorials to fix? What about having to fill up a form and register your credit card for every closed source program you need to install? I don’t think Windows ‘just works’.

Not to mention all the “freeware” that doesn’t do what it is supposed to do. Like if you want a background removal from your webcam.

Interesting development, even if the humanitarian toll is there. Global players deal with that all the time anyway.

I’ve also run into this when trying to program in Rust. It just says that the newest features don’t exist and keeps rolling back to an unsupported library.

I understand that it makes less sense to spend in model size if it isn’t giving back performance, but why would so much money be spent on larger LLMs then?

What are the chances the city will grow and prosper? I’m invested in this

We all need something to spark our curiosity.

Fascinating.

Apparently, BlackMeta is behind the DDoS attack to the Internet Archive. Apparently they are pro-Palestine hacktivists - their X account also has some russian written in it.

(Edit) Also, Internet Archive is banned on China since 2012 and Russia since 2015.

It was a long read, but it is interesting.

Well, I’m selfhosting the LLM and the WebUI
