What do you mean by regulation? Laws that could lead to a fine or jail time, or the enforcement of laws through ie. the police?

What will the long term effects of this be? Models on Hugging Face that only runs properly on NVIDIA hardware?

Achtually... if it's a 31556952 second clock, it's only right once a year.

As long as one didn't have to downgrade X11, they were straightforward to install. You are right that upgrades was a pain, but I believe the drivers themselves were on-par with the Windows drivers.

NVIDIA created quality (but proprietary) drivers for Linux early on, when supporting Linux at all was not a given. They should get at least a tiny bit of credit for this.

Quick, solve a double integral by hand!

Some skills are easy re-pick-uppable, like bicycling. Mathematics is probably more challenging. Not sure about programming, especially "borint" business-like programming.

It's also very easy to dismiss everyone falling into the "AI trap" as being mediocre in the first place, though. But one just can't know this without having seen their work pre-AI.

I can't tell if this is insightful or copium.

Oh how the wheels have turned.

Has science gone too far?

Having long time perspective, seeing the wider context, talking to people, having vision and taste. Curating and sanity-checking the results. Security and trust. The reasons are many.

I believe that the assumption that customers reviewing the output artifacts is "the final boss" is wrong. If AI use spreads, customers are also likely to use AI to review the artifacts. Vision, taste and curation remains, though.

I wonder why they don't have a "Buy now" button on their website.

I am all for taking AI out of education, like China recently announced that they will do.

Even if a tool can only be used for lobotomizing humans, the usage of the tool is where the main blame should be placed.

Calculators and computers are creating engineers that can't think without them either. There are many problems with AI, but from my point of view, the title has not thought things through.

FT2 was written in Borland Pascal 7 and TASM, btw.

OpenAI has "open" in the name without being anything similar to "open source". Additionally, they have not rejected using their technology for automatically killing people and for mass surveillance. I deleted my OpenAI a

Referring to "the normal people you know" is purely anecdotal evidence and can't be used to infer anything at all about "side-ideology". Perhaps you only know people that don't care about the environment?

Now we can have operating systems that write the drivers they need at boot.

Ah yes, thousands separator.

Yes, but cencorship is also politics. What happens if someone just tries to stay apolitical and "work safe" and are still cencored? Any attempt at fighting this will be categorized as "political", "difficult" o

Space is also confusing! Then it looks like two separate numbers. Underscore (_) is already used as a decimal separator in programming languages and Mathematics should just adopt it, IMO.

Fax is still hard to hack, so some organizations have kept it alive for security.

Just real-time text translation and annotating faces with names would be cool.

How many games do you use on Windows that you can not use on Linux?

It was a good 16 year-ish run.

"breaking things down into the right primitives" is the real key to programming. There are many books and web pages about algorithms, but I wish there were more searchable and browsable resources for how to approach problems throu
