But don't you want to be mislead by the summaries both missing key bits of information and making stuff up? That's what literally every manager at my company LOVES to read.

I'd LOVE for that to be true. It isn't. Democrats are pathologically incapable of understanding what's going on...

Why do people still argue in favor of one of those pedo parties or the other - they are both the same damned thing, and work exactly the same damned way.

Any given Linux with Wine is basically that. It's really gotten quite good!

1000% this. Those folks who think it's impressive are revealing their own mediocrity. It's shite. For real. Those of us who have real skills can tell - and those who don't (mostly, middle managers) cannot.

Mostly - same for X.com - it's all campaign generated junk, consumed and echoed by bots and paid trolls.

I'm not proud that I use Facebook - eventually I'll just delete the damned thing. But I have to say - the very second I come across anything that is obviously generated AI BS, I turn it off, immediately. I just have no interest in that crap, and I wonder how many others feel the same.

It doesn't "feel" fake - it IS fake. And it was already fake before bots, it's just now a lot more obvious.

The thing that AI lets them get around is bad management. They suddenly don't have to have aeeting about every little aspect of every little feature. They can just get AI to generate them some slop. For these types of management traps, it's going to lead to seriously accelerated production. But it's also going to lead to a lot of production failures, and then a return to slow processes.

I went ahead with this! I use Bazzite or Nobara as my main OS - and I love it. (Bazzite has been generally more stable for me, and I like the immutable platform its on. Nobara is definitely easier though.)

But... there are issues.

- General game compatibility isn't one of them - games often run on SteamOS that wouldn't even run on modern versions of Windows. Other don't. It's a mixed bag, but it's not worse than Windows.
- HDR support - this is a sore spot, but it's getting better. In particular, there's no way to set max brightness or paper-white values - which is available on Windows (even if it's a bit hidden), and all the consoles. The result is that on my screen, the entire image is WAY too bright, to the point of hurting my eyes. I made a feature request: https://steamcommunity.com/app...
      - It also gets in to half functioning states when you switch between game mode and desktop mode, and other annoyances.
- HDMI consortium are assholes, and won't let us use our own hardware, because of a DRM subsystem that no one wants. The result is, on AMD GPUs (which is the only reasonable hardware to use on Linux) and newer Intel GPUs (not sure about nvidia) you can't output in HDMI2.1, so you can only really get 60Hz at 4k, if you want things like full range HDR and VRR. This REALLY SUCKS, and it's especially irksome because of how mind numbingly stupid the reason for it is.
- nvidia is still a giant pain in the ass, and hostile to Linux in general. From what I've read it's gotten somewhat better, but my God, they've been single handedly holding back Linux gaming for years.

Most of the other issues I've had with Linux over the last 25 years are basically solved at this point. It's never been better!

MacOS dropped 32-bit a few years ago, and it did the same thing - murdered gaming dead, on macOS. It's actually easier to run Windows 32-bit binaries on macOS than it is to run 32-bit macos binaries. MOST of my macos compatible Steam library doesn't work any more. (And it'll be so much worse when the remove Rosetta 2 - and they will, bet.)

What would make sense to me, is to create some kind of hybrid virtualization/containerized thing to run old binaries (think something like WPA2.) Hybrid binaries might be more challenging, and require irksome stuff, like duplicating your 64-bit subsystems... But this must be possible? I know it doesn't exist yet - so the comment about this being "too soon" makes sense to me. There needs to be some kind of transition plan. Linux can do this better than Apple did for sure!

LLMs predict text based on what's in its static training data, as processed by a model ahead of time. It quite literally can't do reasoning. What the "chain-of-thought" technique is trying to do, is set up the context window, so that it can predict something like a reasoned response. The challenge is that if something similar to the reasoning it's trying to predict doesn't exist in its training data, then it will simply predict tokens as best it can, which might not be very useful. It's worth knowing that, because that's always where it falls down.

LOL - you trust Microsoft to do the right thing, just because someone (or some corporation) paid them. That's amazing.

They probably vibe code their UX or something. It's not just bad UX, it's also buggy.

Most managers have bet their careers on the usefulness of AI - so they NEED their subordinates to fact check AI generated stories - or more specifically, the need their staff to PROVE the value of AI, whether there is value or not.
