LLMs don't search current events by default, why would anyone be surprised that they don't just automatically know about last night's events?

This is the root of the problem. Reverence and social deference for "faith". On other words: "Belief without evidence"

Everyone alive since the Pandemic and subsequent Disinformation Wars knows that "faith" is a toxic and stupid idea which is incompatible with modern global civilization.

Religion needs to be viewed with great suspicion. Science and the people who discovered real things about the world need to occupy that place of reverence.

(LLMs) a technology LeCun has repeatedly called "a dead end when it comes to superintelligence."

He keeps saying that but AFAICT the block diagram for his JEPA solution is the same thing just predicting next floating latent space token instead of discrete word-token. Which is very powerful and cool but I mean its not like he is getting rid of backprop or convolution or even attention really. He should stop attacking his older work and just be a rock star.

You could say by llama4 the genAI division had lost its legs. But the Metaverse division was way ahead of them...

I don't want people all over the world connecting to my bedroom. If I wanna host a website I pay an extra $8/mo for VPS

One word drives darknet markets: Drugs That is enough of a usecase

Somehow the lawyers will get the majority of the settlements.

This is bad news if the Pixels are now eSIM only.

GrapheneOS only supports pixels and many of its users prefer a permissionless SIM.

Maybe they'll add support for some other device, perhaps one of the privacy phones.

ah, I will check out memory hole on some of my systems.

At least on 6.1 you have to be below 50% RAM usage too.

I found this in a RHEL doc that pointed to a kernel README that looked old af but said the same thing.

I have a few systems that run an app on solar during the day at 80% RAM and I had to stop the service before suspend to get it to work.

Yet it worked for a couple months in disk hibernate but then stopped and only memory sleep would work. On a Debian Bookworm stable kernel, so who the heck knows what broke (wasn't me!).

Battery usage overnight is different enough with many machines that I wish hibernate to disk worked reliably.

Anyway if I have 16GB RAM and a 36GB swap it seems bonkers to me that it is by design only working if less than 8GB of RAM is committed.

The subsystem is quite brittle and everybody seems to know.

Most package management systems require us to figure out which card we have, figure out which package supports it, and install that.

Really we wanted "install the package that supports my card".

Apparently this current problem highlights this disconnect when a package no longer does what it used to but the package system blindly updates it anyway.

Being 2025, surely somebody in the past 30 years has floated a meta package management system to handle this mapping? Or an apt plugin? Anybody here know that history?

I mean, we even have nvidia-detect for their cards to do the actual probing work.

Granted arch is rolling and rolling gonna roll, but we can have software that makes this work correctly.

I voted against Biden in the Primary. But as POTUS he surrounded himself with competent people AND LISTENED TO THEM.

Yes he and they made sime bad choices (Afghanistan withdrawal, tepid Ukraine support) but not strategic damage and coupled with some very good decisions (block China access to GPUs, energy policy)

If Dems sweep the Midterms this has a high chance of happening.

REMEMBER: ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

This guy either socially engineered his way through a line, analyzed a weakness in the line, or time-traveled from the '90's not realizing we've set up an incompetent but totalizing police-state control grid to interpose every tiny aspect of our lives.

To be fair, "pay on board" is less applicable to airplanes than trains because seatbelts are important in turbulence.

That said, the lack of capacity is widely acknowledged to be a feature of wildly incompetent management.

We just heard they've started a new project to rewrite the air traffic control system for the umpteenth time (and billions and billions later) to hopefully allow for more frequent landings and departures. I fear it won't be specified for AI-assist takeoffs and landings and will be obsolete before it's done.

Better make some more 8" floppies.

It's good to have a second engine but it sure sounds like Gecko isn't long for this world.

I remember when Firefox came out (first as Phoenix), it was the light and simple browser separated from the huge Mozilla suite. If Mozilla wants to slop it up with AI, they might as well change the name. I know, nothing about web browsers has been simple and light for at least a decade, but we could at least pretend.
