filister,

While at the same time they forbid AI generated answers on their website, oh the turntables.

filister,

Then explain why this is a global phenomenon?

filister,

Are there any crashes already involving pedestrians? I really wonder how broken those pedestrians are after the hit. I think the chance to survive a hit from a Cybertruck is minimal.

And I am even surprised that it is allowed on your streets.

filister,

Yes, I am predicting that at some point society will reach a tipping point when certain parts of the society will start to revolt against the status quo. Because younger generations are really screwed.

I don’t think they can even afford paying their rents and buying their own food by simply working. And this is pushing more and more young people to stay with their parents as long as possible, which ultimately is responsible for lowering birthrate in developed economies. And this puts additional pressure on the social system and weakens the economy of the said country as there would be less working age people for a pensioner.

Social media is creating this social stigma, where everyone pretends to be a better selves and you have a lot of comparing and this of course is unlocking mental diseases. It doesn’t help that now we are living in a looming climate crisis, extreme data collection, and exploitation that benefits very few, creating an even bigger social divide.

And call me sceptical but I think a lot of things will change in the future and probably not for the better. We see what is happening in Gaza and this is just like a sneak peek of a bleak dystopia, where the working class will be controlled by the upper echelon with buzzing drones monitoring their every step, and everything monitored for even the slightest signs of descent and violently crushing them in order to preserve the status quo. We already have something similar in China with their social credit system. Authoritarian governments would become more common across the globe and it will be way harder for their population to overthrow them.

Either this or we will experience a big financial crisis when a lot of people will lose huge chunks of their savings and their livelihoods destroyed. And this will be followed by perhaps full restart or the dystopian future, where we won’t own anything and everything will be loaned to us by huge corpos.

‘They’re sending a message’: harsh police tactics questioned amid US campus protest crackdowns (www.theguardian.com)

There have been 970 US student protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict between 7 October and 26 April, the vast majority of them peaceful, according to the latest available statistics from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (Acled), which tracks political violence and political demonstrations across the US...

filister,

You know if they were protesting Russia’s war in Ukraine, police wouldn’t be deployed, and no one would have been accused of racism/antisemitism.

filister,

That’s why I also switched to Obsidian. Used it for a while, but the inability to port it to another app turned me off.

filister,

Little known fact is that Israel exists today due to the acts of terror they did to the British Mandate back in the days. And they exist today thanks to those terrorist acts and thanks to the UN.

But of course nowadays they conveniently omit to mention those facts and instead claim historical ownership over the whole of Israel, even though before the foundation of Israel the Jews population in those territories was less than 10%.

filister,

Anyone who played it? It sounds interesting and different, but not sure if this equals to worth buying.

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

filister,

And everyone who dares criticizing them is obviously antisemitic.

filister,

No matter how much you hate China, China is an enormous market and the most important one for a lot of European and American companies.

filister,

This is pretty much what is happening in most developed economies, unfortunately. Because real estate became a very profitable investment, and as a result we are now running out of affordable accommodation.

filister,

The things I like in the PS is that they still sell a disc edition, meaning that you can buy and sell games on the cheap.

But on the other hand PC games support mods and that’s unbeatable. Plus PS games usually work on two generations only and then finito.

filister,

What about X?

And I am using it almost every day and believe me I am writing a lot of code in those function nodes.

As soon as you want something more complicated that’s not covered by the nodes, you need to write your own code. And then debugging this code or version controlling it becomes a nightmare.

filister, (edited )

Don’t go into that rabbit hole called Node-Red. You will end up writing a lot of code, and node.js isn’t the best scripting language, and my suggestion is to just write a simple Python script.

Debugging is hell, version control is hell, it doesn’t have VSCode integration, plus sometimes it has some weird bugs, when you forget to clean up headers, etc. and it can truly make you crazy.

If you need something super simple and it has a good integration, you might consider it, but for anything more complex, stick to Python, or some other scripting language you are familiar with.

filister,

I don’t get how people can watch reality shows but apparently they do.

Plus entertainment is a great control tool. Give people enough entertainment and they will never revolt.

filister,

If only the döner prices were exploding. Everything seems to be way more expensive, including the rents and the only imploding thing is the purchasing power of the general population.

filister,

Welcome to the club

filister,

Yes, I am running NixOS with Hyprland at the moment as a trial and most things were pretty well. I know that open source NVIDIA drivers are crap especially if you want to run Wayland, but I am more interested into the AI/ML side as I want to play a bit with open weight LLMs, and Pytorch. I used to do some AI with Tensorflow, but I would like to learn more about Pytorch.

I used to have an older AMD card in the past that I borrowed from a friend and tried to install Rocm and it was an absolute disaster. That was around COVID and even though I consider myself fairly familiar with Linux and very comfortable around the command line, I didn’t make it work back then.

The majority of the opinions I have also read were just pointing out that CUDA is just plug and play and Rocm is a lot of tinkering. And I think I am simply too old and tired of this constant tinkering and I would prefer something that will simply just work out of the box.

I really hate NVIDIA and don’t like the company but still consider them with something like i3, just to have some peace of mind and know that everything works out of the box with their proprietary drivers.

filister,

How easy it is to install and configure Rocm and also how limiting it is? I also heard about ZLUDA, etc. and I very much want to pick AMD as my next GPU, especially considering the fact that I am using Wayland, but I think they are still far behind NVIDIA?

filister,

So what’s the performance difference between the open source NVK driver and their proprietary one?

filister,

I am looking forward to mods adding some new content.

filister,

That Corgi looks very badass
