If I understand correctly, it’s a different kind of “immutable”, since distros like Bazzite provide premade immutable images you use and anything else you need you install using alternative means, whereas NixOS is an immutable image generator that requires you to set up your own definitions for the image, but also lets you install software by adding it to that image.
The game, including worldgen, will still bug out at longer distances - the issues were reduced and a world limit was added to prevent you going too far, and IIRC past a certain point the world turns into non-stop ocean, but I’m pretty sure if you bypass those limits you’ll encounter chunks that outright fail to generate.
I believe they’ve made the point that it’s not chrome’s fault, but the site’s/user’s - images displayed on websites should be webp to benefit from optimizations for displaying images, but download links should be a different format. The error would be either the user downloading the images from the display instead of the download (including from sites that do not offer images for downloading purposes?), or the website not including separate versions for download where relevant.
I’m not necessarily sure if that’s a good take, but that’s my interpretation of what’s being said.
In-memory kernel patching is complicated, AFAIK only select distributions support it, right? If kernel hotswap is successfully implemented this way, it should allow switching between arbitrary kernels at runtime without extra work or setup.
Of course, that’s a pretty big “if”, but a simple unified system sounds like a great thing. And of course there’s more to this than swapping kernels.
Not entirely sure what you’re referring to, but if you mean that it’s not only markdown, absolutely - what’s immediately relevant here is that it is markdown we’re using here, which can be used to look up formatting and is useful to know where else this syntax will work.
Like this:
> Quote
>
> Second paragraph of quote
Quote
Second paragraph of quote
Note that it’s standard markdown syntax, and also that the contents of the quote are also markdown and should support standard formatting (including nesting quotes inside them)
I’m confused. It’s based on arch but not really? Is it arch based or not? Does it use any arch package manager? The post raises a number of new questions
The answers to that seem pretty obvious to me: yes, it is based on arch. No, it does not come with a package manager. Presumably, they use Arch packaging tools and package definitions behind the scenes in some way, but the end result is a premade immutable system image.
Apertus was developed with due consideration to Swiss data protection laws, Swiss copyright laws, and the transparency obligations under the EU AI Act. Particular attention has been paid to data integrity and ethical standards: the training corpus builds only on data which is publicly available. It is filtered to respect machine-readable opt-out requests from websites, even retroactively, and to remove personal data, and other undesired content before training begins.
We probably won’t get better, but sounds like it’s still being trained on scraped data unless you explicitly opt out, including anything that may be getting mirrored by third parties that don’t opt out. Also, they can remove data from the training material retroactively… But presumably won’t be retraining the model from scratch, which means it will still have that in their weights, and the official weights will still have a potential advantage on models trained later on their training data.
From the license:
SNAI will regularly provide a file with hash values for download which you can apply as an output filter to your use of our Apertus LLM. The file reflects data protection deletion requests which have been addressed to SNAI as the developer of the Apertus LLM. It allows you to remove Personal Data contained in the model output.
Oof, so they’re basically passing on data protection deletion requests to the users and telling them all to respectfully account for them.
They also claim “open data”, but I’m having trouble finding the actual training data, only the “Training data reconstruction scripts”…
Funnily, my performance in trackmania is fine… But I have an entirely different issue - if at any point I open the Ubisoft overlay, from that point on, if I tab out of the game and back in, I’m unable to control the car until I open and close the overlay again. The UI accepts inputs normally, it’s just the car that doesn’t.
Previously I had an issue where the game would refuse to accept controllers being connected while the game was running - the button prompts would actually switch to controller style, but the game would refuse to accept controller inputs, and the controller wouldn’t show up in settings.
But yeah, those are issues very specifically with that game, I don’t even know how they managed that.
If they’re ignored files, setting them up locally won’t end up in the repo. If you put a symlink into the repo, fixing that for your setup will register as a change within git, which can cause annoyance and even problems down the line.
Not the same person, but it looks very much like Firefox reader mode.
I think they decided not to, with some (IMO fairly) snarky comment on how that was just a proposal and people were getting needlesely outraged.
Literally the last two RSS items right now are about how splitting packages will require intervention for some users (plasma and Linux firmware).
Maybe a nitpick, but the linux-firmware situation is different, it’s not about needing to install extra packages (they turned the existing package into a meta package or whatever it’s called), but about that coinciding with some changes that can break the upgrade process and require you to force uninstall a package before proceeding.
But yeah, good point about plasma, the only differences I can even think of are that plasma is probably more popular, and definitely more important to have working.
While I agree with the rest, does Lutris have backup options? I never actually checked, but don’t remember seeing any of that
I don’t think either has ntsync support enabled by default, but it’s supposed to have better accuracy or performance, thanks to putting the needed APIs directly in the kernel, right?
Not when taken to such an extreme so as to obfuscate the meaning and behavior of code, and make it difficult to understand how you would arrive at that code.
Sane defaults serve to reduce verbosity without obfuscating meaning, simpler syntax with different ordering and fewer tokens reduce verbosity to make the code easier to read by reducing the amount of text you have to pay attention to to understand what the result is.
I imagine there’s also a distinction to be made between verbosity and redundancy - sometimes extra text might fail to carry information, or carry information that’s already carried elsewhere. I’m not sure where the line should be drawn, because sometimes duplicate information can be helpful, and spacing out information with technically meaningless text has value for readability, but I feel like it’s there.
Our public TV has no midroll ads, only between programs, and I’m so happy I can use a guide and usually find something to watch when eating and get no ads. But I’m also watching the endless reruns of a series I like, so that’s also not difficult to get.
This feels like surreal memes before they turned into almost entirely misspellings and other repeat jokes.
I think you jumped the gun a bit, they’re asking about a graveyard for AI stuff
Oh I would hope not, it’s good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.
Though in a way you could say he “fixed a bug” by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
