The problem with SELinux is that it interferes with Userspace first-party applications in a way that is completely enigmatic to the end-user...even someone who wants to try out the new advertised feature that Gnome/KDE released. Case in point : GNOME Remote Desktop

The determination of outliers is subject to specific assumptions about the underlying population distribution, and arbitrary thresholds with respect to how far a particular data point should be to be counted as an outlier. Further, statistical significance depends on another arbitrary threshold (conventionally p0.05) giving the probability of achieving that result purely by chance. Due to these arbitrary values, there is no ‘correct’ answer to these questions.

The question to ask is not whether a student is an outlier, but merely what percentile they are in. Sounds to me like AI gave the right answer, but the user asked it the wrong question.

It will also be their first experience in buying/installing third party apps for everything from scrolling up on the mouse and maximising a window properly.

There is a reason for that called Microsoft Office. And Photoshop. And a million other niche applications that are Windows only (I work with scientific lab equipment) because not enough people wanted or cared about Linux support. Heck, companies selling hardware to labs will bundle a free Windows workstation rather than port their complex app to Linux.

And no, Libreoffice is not good enough if you are a person who uses Office specifically rather than any random Word processor. Writer is ok. Calc is incompatible with Excel, and Impress is just inferior to PowerPoint. The activation barrier to switch is not worth the 60 bucks Microsoft charges a year for their suite. 60 bucks is what a professional who uses these apps earns in 1 hour.

FOSS people need to understand that FOSS is not a selling point. Superior software is eventually what people will use, irrespective of its FOSS nature. Linux is in the unfortunate situation of being the superior OS with inferior application coverage. Too bad the only thing people use the OS for is to run applications.

It won't take long, but really ...is anyone really that desperate to use Windows ?

Most people use Windows because they cannot be bothered to / have no idea they can install something else. Most people do not see the operating system and hardware as different things. No more than one typically things of a digital wristwatch and the firmware running on it as separate things.

I was hoping that Microsoft saying "No more Windows until you jump through hoops" would get people motivated enough to figure out that there are many fewer hoops if you just ditch Windows.

The problem is that this is a Nash equilibrium situation. The contention is that the most natural and advantageous thing to do for a single entity is bad for the group, in this case the (market, economy, state).

Not very different from nuclear proliferation, deforestation, environmental issues etc.

The single entity is not ‘wrong’ to do what it does. But it has been shown mathematically shown by John Nash that this kind of setup is inevitably detrimental in the long run. Ref: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1...

It is relatively trivial to remove out any such pattern using an FFT and pyramidal decomposition.

Oh. My. God. Any kind of place that is not a private office, will be a cacophony of mundane computer instructions. And how is your computer going to know to listen only to you?

Moronsoft is paying millions to some idiots who have no common sense.

Now this is stupid. Almost every OS/DE including Gnome and KDE follow this paradigm : Hotkey + First Letter + Enter to launch programs.

In that case, that definitely puts in on par with many humans that I know.

The fact that it realized it failed, and admitted to it, makes it more intelligent and consciencous than many humans that I know.

This is correct. Unfortunately, this is something of a lie realization for many people. Even scientists are just getting used to the idea that under no circumstances should you ever touch the pixels of an image that is supposed to be used as evidence. All operations on the image should be documented and all annotations should be either be vector based in a separate layer.

This is the kind of sensationalist nonsense.

Neurons are not as efficient as silicon in terms of computation. The power parameters reported here are the power requirements for running an incubator and 4% CO2. This is the cost of life support as available in the any standard cell culture in thousands of biology labs all over the world. The energy for computation comes from glucose provided in cell culture medium to the cells, which is more energetically much more expensive than electricity. Cells have a maximal efficiency of about 40% in extracting this.

Also, neurons will die in culture. They will also change in culture. They have to be replaced periodically and the underlying silicon will have to be retrained again for performing computations.

And what makes you think humans are not doing exactly that?

1. The morons who aren't doing anything illegal but are Nintendo for compromised privacy deserve to be recorded and screwed.
2. The criminals who are doing illegal and evil things on a platform with kids on it also deserve to be recorded and screwed.

Sane people who have no interest in illegality and want to protect their privacy should simply vote with their wallet.
