macOS doesn't support subpixel font rendering, so text looks pretty bad on 1080p monitors

Apple always had subpixel rendering until pretty recently when it removed it as it can actually make things look worse on high dpi monitors.

Just use betterdisplay to turn it back on if your using a legacy moitor.

*No* model works like you think it does.

A model is just a bunch of of parameters for a giant ness of matrix maths. It isn't even software. Its data.

Its the software that runs it that can, maybe, call home. So just use ollama or whatever.

Why are you responding to yourself in a negative way ? It feels like an intermediate post is missing or you replied to the wrong post. Is /. buggy ?

Eh, take some time to read a bit better, my post was in reply to a mention of Trump, I didn't even know you were involved. This being said I can understand you being touchy in your forever war with your personal trolls, but usually you are a lot more insightful. Best of luck.

Silent ? He can't seem to shut the fuck up about anything.

Not likely. In about 20 million years all complex plant dies from lack of CO2. It would have been more like 2 million if we hadn't pumped a lot of stored CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Not a lot of time for anything else to evolve into a technological society before any kind of complex life dies.

No she's been interviewed. She's a real person. That isn't controversial. Her identity was confirmed, and thats part of why she resigned, as she did not enjoy her anonymity being lost.

Enterprise software is a horror world of deeply embedded shitshow products that only exist because their claws are so deep in equally shitshow companies that somehow a random piece of software that costs half the IT budget and nobody knows what it does will tank the entire company if removed.

Theres a psychological hook with these dudes that is nefariously hard to correct for.

Theres pretty well documented evidence that peoples voting preferences correlate strongly with certain brain structures and essentially the more fearful you are, the more likely your going to vote right wing. The thing is, the people running the show with the current clown-car administration know this. They know that by constantly creating a climate of fear and uncertainty, with a constant parade of devils and outrages, the more people are going to vote for them.

This is insidious, because the simple act of doing scary shit , start wars, put robocop goons out onto the street to round up immigrants and dissidents, throw people off welfare protections, etc, the more likely they are to vote for that shit. You seen that phenomena of reliably progressive people who suddenly turn into right wing angervoters around Covid? Well yeah, thats the amygdala in action. Covid scary, disease kills. Man on internet said vaccine makes it worse...... Must be the evil immigrants and fauci and the lizard men!

And the worse the country gets, the very fact that its getting worse drives more people to vote for the worse.

Humans vote emotionally, not logically. And its killing us as a species.

Aaaaaand slashdots reader base is flashing bright red keyword flags on the feds snooper-computers lol

Weird corporate goons trying to recover the potentially billions of lost value from losing every vexatious lawsuit they've launched in 20+ years by.... doing more vexatious lawsuits.

Yeah the elephant in the corner of the room was always that SCO never even owned those rights to unix to begin with , it was licensing them from Novell and Novell where *very unhappy* with SCOs antics as the licensing text specifically forbade this sort of nonsense without Novell's go-ahead which they definitely did not give (I assume MicroFocus now have those rights since they swallowed Novell a decade ago. Actually googling it, Microfocus got swallowed by "Open Text". Who the fuck are open text?! Their wikipedia page seems to suggest they've swallowed half of silicon valley, but I havent heard of them before. I'm old :(

Just another example of why everyone needs to start running LLMs locally and not have them refuse to do things at random on a 'cloud' service.

It's because the government threw vast amounts of cheap credit into the economy which turned a short-term crash into a long-term depression where kids can't afford houses and the cost of living is increasing by far more than the fake inflation figures economists churn out.

And it's also why we now have a Potemkin economy where nothing really works and we pretend to get rich by selling houses to each other at ever-increasing prices.

The 1930s depression was also caused by economists who refused to let things crash and wasn't resolved until their plans were scrapped after WWII.

"Economist" should be one of the easiest jobs to replace with AI. Ir's not as though they ever do much other than says whatever their employer wants them to say.
