To make it inconvenient enough for non-authorized mechanics to touch the car. Forcing the owner to pay the manufacturer to fix the car.
SSDs are way more efficient than HDDs for swap.
SSDs are electronic, while HDDs are mechanical. This means that moving memory regions (pages) between system RAM and the storage requires:
- physical moves, in the case of HDD
- accessing a different region of the chips, in the case of SSD
Imagine a scenario in which completely unrelated data access requests floods your storage drive. An HDD needs to constantly realign its needle to the requested locations, while the SSD can just re-route its data lines to that location.
No. AI workloads benefit from SSD’s high random read/write performance. Also, I guess, more people starting using SSDs for paging/swap, as RAM prices skyrocketed.
This resulted in an SSD shortage immediately after RAM starting getting expensive. Which in turn caused an HDD shortage, because people need space to store their data.
If I understand correctly, this affects 3d printers that can read STL. What if someone, hypothetically, uses an open source slicer, like Orca, and print from gcode?
Out of all the services that Valve offers, you decided to compare their checkout page?
- Valve offers to devs, completely free of charge, full access to their matchmaking network, across any platform
- Valve has vastly improved Windows games compatibility on Linux, by developing Proton. Epic locks users to Windows, because of their anti-cheat.
- Valve revolutionized handheld gaming, by bringing desktop games to portable devices
- Valve requires devs to show in the games’ store page whether it contains AI slop. Epic is a supporter of AI slop
Nuh… We have had 16k for at least 8 years
I used to port forward, but I have stopped doing it. I don’t want to have open ports on the same IP that I use for internet browsing.
I have my local server connected, via WireGuard, to a cheap nearby VPS. All my services are exposed from that VPS.
This configuration also offers full portability to my home server, allowing me to switch to any ISP, or even move to mobile data, if I have to.
For applications that require even lower latency, like remote gaming, I use Tailscale, which can traverse the NATs and create direct connections between the devices.

Let’s break it down…
The distance, between the traffic light and the cab driver, should be approximately 10 meters.
The time light needs to reach the cab driver’s eyes is:
D ÷ c = 10 ÷ 299,792,458 = 0.0000000333… seconds = 0.0000333… milliseconds
The distance between the cab’s horn and your ears, should be approximately 5 meters.
The time needed for the cab’s honk sound, to reach our ears is:
D ÷ u = 5 ÷ 295 = 0.0169491525 seconds = 16.9491525 milliseconds
If the cab driver had a reaction time of zero, it would still take 16 milliseconds for us, to hear their honk.
The conclusion is that cab drivers have a negative reaction time, so that they can honk before the light turns green, breaking causality.
I was referring to Altman lobbying towards considering AI training as fair use of copyrighted material.
I know that pirating is not fair use. However, AI companies seem to rely on pirated copies to train their slop machines, and they are trying to justify this behavior.
Maybe we could start making more slop memes, to outbalance the possible usefulness of AI ?
We didn’t hid our heads in the sand. Your comment serves no purpose, besides being a rant about how Linux cannot work for you. You could at least be more polite.
No one forced you to use Linux, and probably no one will. It’s your setup, and it’s your responsibility.
If you want to keep being an asshole, you will only get more down votes. If you need help transitioning to Linux, you can politely ask for it.
There is no point attacking random people for not “acknowledging” your issues.
Please use
$HOMEinstead of this. There are configurations that do not rely on the usual/home/$USERformat. The root user is a good example, having their$HOMEset to/root.
