Hah, good to know that even on programming@programming.dev there are people who agree that stack overflow moderation is too draconian to ask questions in anymore. It’s a good resource, though, so an LLM will probably be the answer to make the knowledge base more usable without angering its elder gods.

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”.

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 :) 🙌

Considering that training is extracting the main features of a dataset, there is always some data that is discarded as “noise” in the process, then when data is generated, that discarded information is filled back with actual random noise to partially replicate the original data.

Iterate and you’re going to end up with progressively less meaningful features. I just didn’t expect it to take only 5 iterations, that’s a lot of feature loss in training even with so many parameters.

Knoppix in 2nd year at Uni. It made me more productive because there were few distractions from programming. So zen.

Great examples there, particularly firefox. The moral here is that there is no black-and-white or even a spectrum from community to corporate, but a set of incentive structures from the bottom to the top that are set up to maximize the likelihood that a product will reach its originally desired behaviour towards the community or the investors.

E.g. Wikipedia is community-driven because people contribute individually without a lot of coordination and without anybody telling contributors what to do, same for game mods. I guess by “corporate-driven” you mean there is a hierarchy and people whose job it is to do what management says e.g. Wikipedia foundation runs the infrastructure that hosts the community content and the same for most games. I’m not sure I’d call it “corporate driven” unless it has board members and investors demanding a profit such that they influence the decisions downstream, like reddit.

Well, that makes a lot of sense now :) thanks.

It’s a paid service where you can enter a premium link or torrent link to it and it will generate a direct download link. This is very useful if you visit premium sites like Mega and RapidGator where if you don’t have an account, it enforces limits such as:

Slow download speed (e.g. max 1MB per second while downloading)
Maximum number of downloads per hour (e.g. 1 file per 5 hours)
No resume support
Unable to download if file is larger than a certain amount (e.g. no more than 5GB per file allowed for non-premium users)

Is this topic-specific or are there other bots other than the one in UnderNet? I’ve never found on IRC a book that wasn’t in libgen

Thanks, I was just testing the bot, but something failed. Thanks for the tldr, yea I guess electrolysis only pays for aluminum, because there is no other way to get it :/ maybe hydrogen too.

Maybe the best option for plastic that ensures it won’t end up in nature and is not too expensive is incineration powerplants.
