Not everything runs on paid models. Claude and Codex are frontier models, but some people have much higher usage needs and finite budgets that force them to self-host. And if you're self-hosting, you're very likely running a Chinese model

I think there's more to it.

China will always benefit from a broader adoption of their models as hidden propaganda machines.

Eventually with several services relying in those tools, their answers will always be more friendly to China.

Interesting how op describes his own experience and then assume that every other company around the globe experience exactly the same.

He generalizes CEO's behavior but provides no evidence. Cool.

I can't find a 3090 for less than 2k CADs (or 1200 eur). Is this the average price in Germany? It's pretty cheap.

Can you talk more about it? So an issue during shutdown running from the external drive destroyed a partition of a internal drive?

I can see power issues corrupting the external drive (and I can live with that), but I'm wondering what went wrong in your case.

I'm not sure running the whole thing from a live-boot (which is kind of the point of the topic, different from a external installation which is what I use) would have prevented anything.

Installing plain fedora in an external nvme drive and boot from there works pretty nicely.

Luks, uefi, fstrim, everything works fine. I boot it from my desktop, laptops or from virt-manager when I need a quick change.

The only thing I couldn't make it work was the proprietary nvidia drivers.

There's an open-source wahjam btw.

I'm an atheist, but I have to admit the previous guy was pretty dope.

It might take years. Once it's solved, Smith, Trump and the americans financing this BS might be gone.

Given your pelican is very famous now, don't you think they are adding instructions to beat this benchmark those days?

Well, not photoshop yet, but if you're in the scene of raw photo editing, you know there are several small "new players" clearly coded in a couple of weeks that are pretty promising.

It's true that we're not there yet for very complex software, but corporations don't place bets on today's market. They are placing bets on how the market is going to look like 2, 3 years from now.

This week has been tough. Is it the begging of CVEgeddon?

Not mine. My kerbin's ocean is full of them now.

Looks like someone needs to learn how to sandbox their agents properly.

I always avoid apps if I can.

But yeah, that comment is a bit disconnected to majority of the population.

Is your house's heating system based on H100s?

I look into my perfect workable Samsung Tab S7+ and remember that it has been an year since the last security update.

Now I rely on a few random individuals who, for all I know could be state agents or a ransomware organization to provide unofficial versions of Lineage so I can keep using it.

Battery isn't the only problem to avoid e-waste, but it's a start.

I'm a Darktable user and Affinity mobile user. I was pretty happy with both.

I was using Affinity for quick edits. I happily paid for their software as it's worth what they were charging for and not subscription based.

Then it was bought and Canvas decided to release it for free. What sounds like good news, for me it's concerning: Companies need to make money. If users are not paying, well, they might actually be the product the company sells: either with ads or intelligence. I hate ads as much as I hate my data being harvested, so I'm out now.

A couple of weeks ago I found what seems to work for me now: I bought a tablet capable of running Fedora and Darktable, and that's what am using now.

There’s a joke that in a couple of years, after spending trillions of dollars, burning mountains of coal to run country-sized datacenters and boiling all the oceans, we finally achieve AGI.

Then the first question we ask it is: 'How do we fix climate change?' And it answers: 'you can start by unplugging me'

I've heard this theory in the past:

In a couple of years, the corporative communication will work like this:

You write a bunch of bullet points and feed them to an AI to create a beautiful and well written email. Your reader will feed that email into his own AI and he will generate bullet points to read.

A couple of years ago someone raised evidence that pcloud was processing documents stored in their servers.

They created that "paid cryptography addon" later, but it's hard to trust at this point.

Nah,

All around the world, even people in the lower income brakets take vacation. Sometimes they travel if they can, sometimes they don't.

Working until you wear off is mostly a US thing.

Pcloud is a security nightmare. If you really have to use it, add your own crypto layer on top of it.

Gocryptfs works well for that.

Whataboutyism much?

I'm here just for the comments...

I'd read several other posts and had a similar conclusion.

Are elephants addicted to social media too?

This is very import: you don't know how the cancelation culture will be in 20 years.

I like to use the example of a guy who did a blackface in a party back in 2000's. Although reprehensible, was not commom-sense racism back then. Today society sees it as completely unacceptable.

Eventually that guy became prime minister of Canada and things went pretty bad when that photo surfaced decades later.

Is it far to judge someone's actions by the lens of a different culture? When the popular opinion comes, they won't care about historical context.

And they didn't use emacs, because they were Vi-Kings

Wait until he finds out about GPG signing parties in the early 2000s.
