I've pretty much stopped visiting linkedin. First it was the pet videos, then the political nonsense, then an onslaught of spam trying to sell shit to me 24/7. Now it's just a place to park my resume.

Good riddance.

Did the transistor companies get taxed to "compensate" the people/companies who made vacuum tubes that would be put out of work? No.

Did Henry Ford get taxed to compensate the people who made horse drawn carriages and saddles? No.

Did the people who made desktop publishing "a thing" get taxed to compensate Linotype manufacturers/operators? No.

etc....

Technology marches on. March with it or get left behind. Why should an entire industry of innovators be taxed to protect people who can't pivot and deal with change? That's not to say that I agree that many of these "AI" companies are offering real value.

Best,

Even for basic level functionality testing. Lord knows how many dragons lurk under the covers. I don't use Windows for anything that I care about. Full stop and there are more and more people in C-level positions at major enterprises that feel the same way every day.

I'm running the daily release on a 2 core/4 thread Intel NUC with 8GB of RAM. When absolutely idle with just me logged in to the desktop gnome interface, it's using a little over 2GB of RAM. I'm assuming it's still a bit porky due to all the debugging turned on. If I run firefox and load a piggy cnbc.com main page, it goes to about 3.8GB of RAM utilized.

This is 10+ year old hardware and it's still quite usable.

I don't see anything to be concerned about.

Best,

then don't use it.

Who the fuck cares? It's a game console. Change vendors....start reading books, etc.....

Once storage became cheap and bandwidth was no longer an issue (in the home), I just ripped all of my content to use FLAC and called it a day. I've stored all the original media somewhere safe where it won't get damaged. For commercial content and devices to replay that content using other encoding methods, I'll let those folks duke it out with Dolby. Wake me up when it's over.

What does a failed test look like? If containment fails and 92 protons interact with matter, I would imagine you wind up with a flash of energy as the antiprotons and their proton cousins mutually destruct. It's been a fair amount of time (and bottles of wine) since my last physics class. How much energy are we talking about? I am guessing it's not a significant energy release in terms of there being any real risk to anyone/anything nearby.

Or perhaps AI would be better at eliminating dupe posts? There was already a story on this right here just a couple of days ago.

Could be their biggest export customer!

It isn't even worth the hassle. Everyone at home (myself/wife/kids) are all using Ubuntu as our daily driver and I've switched to a Macbook Pro for the obligatory work laptop. Even my 80 year old parents are using Ubuntu now.

Seeya MSFT....

The scale of this is surprising, but not the act itself.

He was a class act and will be missed by many.

Good luck enforcing that. I agree that the deluge of slop is lame, but I don't see it going away either.

Perhaps with a "massive home" it doesn't work. How many "massive home" people are out there? I suspect that's a standard deviation or three away from the bell of the curve.
