There's a subtle modulation that happens on all of the samples. It sounds almost like some kind of harmonic or phase shift? This is something I notice with every AI generated speech out there.
KDE has far too much surface area to test and support (as in end user support) effectively. Gnome may not be as flexible but it makes for a much smaller target to be able to reproduce and triage issues.
If people want KDE they can install it. Making it the default is short sighted and doesn't align with, or help further, the goals of the Fedora project.
Tax the hell out of them to pay for upgrading. There's zero reason why a 2500lbs vehicle should pay the same tax as a 7000+lbs one.
Giant SUVs and Trucks for non commercial use should have been effectively regulated/taxed out of existence a decade ago.
I agree with you here. For boilerplate stuff I can never remember it's fine.
With more advanced use cases I find the LLMs better at exploring a problem space and possible solutions rather than providing a solution full stop. Being able to refine a problem down into a digestible chunk the AI can take a bite of does require human level understanding that's hard to get if you haven't 'done the work' to have good fundamentals.
Add onto that the fact the 8th and 10th gen Intel low power mobile parts are, well, kinda garbage (low perf/watt, very little boost time, low core count) and were quickly obsoleted.
I'm not sure why Msft put that CPU and RAM combo in their own device when it's just barely past the minimum specs for Windows 10 let alone 11.
It's been a nightmare for my org. We have several people with T-Mobile and Verizon home internet and it's always a game of "What shenanigans will I have to use this week to get VPNs to work?" Sometimes it seems like their 6to4 implementation is just broken but I'm not a network engineer.
The 5400s and 5410s had tons of issues with power, heat, and general acpi funkiness but the 5420s and 5430s have been rock solid for my org. I really want an AMD 14" Latitude but I don't think that's happening any time soon.
Your best option is to dump the displaylink dock and go to a dp alt mode dock or tb3/usb4 dock if your device has a compatible port.
Dell WD19S or Cable Matters USB C docks (201055, 201056) have been flawless for my org all with Fedora laptops. For thunderbolt Caldigit has some decent options but you are still looking at $200-300 for anything decent.
Wow this looks amazing. I am eagerly awaiting a Linux version. We have ~150 Linux desktops and training or collaborating via one sided google meets can be limiting.
Everytime I see anything related to the open source world bubble up into the public I am only reminded of high school and college level social drama.
This is engineering/technical communities in general. You get a lot of strong opinions and individuals who cannot take criticism. A few, often very loud, people make a ton of noise and take up the time of the individuals actually contributing real substance to the project.
Don't like it? Fork it. Simple as that. Same with all the code of conduct nonsense that crops up a couple times a year.
If your opinions are so popular forking and moving contributors to a new project should be easy right? Yeah, turns out your opinions aren't shared by most and only the loudest of the group, no one else really cares.
It's open source! Don't like it fork it! Simple as that. You're not forced to work with anyone you don't want to for any reason.
This always feels like a self tell for people with a very authoritarian mindset.
Just because someone like yourself would use conduct to exclude individuals from participating does not mean that others will.
Part of what bothers me with the current webdev approach is irreducible complexity.
How many layers of 'magic' to facilitate devs deploying do we really need and is it wise to depend on so many?
That sounds like an awful idea to be honest. Good way to damage your kidneys or flare up an diagnosed previously mild condition like hypotension.
Even so if your electrolytes become imbalanced when you do hydrate after the fast it's a whole other set of concerns.
Dead in the water without EUV just like OG Intel 10nm. The number of masks required to etch these chips without EUV makes it a non-starter for anything with a larger area than the BTC mining chip that they produce.
I am very curious the yield and number of masks required.
This article outlines struggles Intel had with multipatterning and 10nm on DUV.

E: Furthermore, I don't think SMIC has any packaging technology that would allow them to leverage chiplets.
You can find clearance name brand things there for 50-75% off of MSRP in the returns section. A BBBY is right next to a Target I frequent so I look every couple weeks.
I got a 12" Staub skillet for $80 and a 4qt Le Cruset dutch oven for $100, and a smaller Lodge dutch oven for $40.
Yet on the official Discord just as of a few days ago he was begging for sales and pitching for people start reselling the devices.
George is bright but not a stable leader. Every month it's some new scheme or feature that will "sell 10x the units!"
No, it won't, not with the lack of support and poor attitude from Comma. If George wants to sell 10x the units it must be a consumer device and treated by Comma as one.
My friend and I in college were trying to do our own Roguelike, and went through two platforms, and four languages, rewriting and standing on the shoulders of, well, not giants, but the ruined wasteland of our previous attempts each time. Learned a lot.
The first time you code yourself into a corner is an interesting experience. It can be frustrating but it's almost always lead me to big realizations about larger concepts around/about how to design a program.
NaughtyDog was able to do amazing things with their in house lisp GOAL[1]. I expect SPJ's work to be in a similar vein.

Really suggest not doing this with -6 sph or stronger. The higher your prescription the greater the risk of halos and starbursts.
I was at -9 and -8.25 (OS OD) with slight astigmatism (0.25 cyl) and still have halos 8 years later. Mind you this was at the absolute edge of what the machine at the facility I worked at could do. I no longer work for that company and I understood the risks going into the procedure with my prescription.
I did require glasses after 2 years too and due to the aspherical nature of my, now ablated, cornea any spherical abberation is perceived as astigmatism. I have to over correct a quarter diopter in sph to reduce the halos and starbursts at the expense of a bit of fish eye lensing.
Would I do it again? Probably but I would definitely try glasses sooner to help with the haloing even if I tested at 20/20.
Juuls use a silica wick which, while possible to absorb something as thick as Vit A the vaporization process would happen too quickly for the pod to perform properly. You'd have to wait 10+ minutes between puffs and the vapor production would suffer greatly. You would immediately know something was wrong.
Concentrate cartridges use a ceramic stone with a heating element inside or encased. This ceramic greatly reduces the flow rate and allows slower vaporization of the concentrate.
I ran a vape shop for years I am more than happy to discuss safety of vaping but won't participate in whataboutism.
I think we're going to see this view change quite a bit with legalization. Consuming large amounts of THC (regardless of delta 8 or 9) on a daily basis is not well understood.
If you're eating 100+mg a day you will have physical withdrawal symptoms. This kind of consumption just hasn't been possible, or more likely affordable, for a large swath of the population until a few years ago.
Those were cannabis cartridges. This is the exact misinformation that gets vapes banned unfortunately.
Vitamin A is far too thick to vape in a Juul type pod system. The only use it has is as a thickener for concentrates which use a whole different type of wicking system.
That just sounds like public transport with more steps.
The Aptera is trying to be something like this.
Aphantasia[1]
My partner has it to the point where her dreams aren't even visual. I am on the other end of the spectrum. It's hard to describe but concepts are 'seen' and then monologued not the other way around. It's not synesthesia but a kind of mental mapping my brain does.
Interesting side effect is that I have an extremely poor visual memory for places, faces, etc. It all gets jumbled up with the other representations in my brain. At least that's what it feels like.
It seems to be a wiring thing rather than a learned skill. I can't ever think of a time where I didn't have this mode of thought.
Three journals/sets of docs:
Active - Currently doing/note taking on current task. The idea is not to recall later but for the task at hand. This is physical.
Reflective - After completing a task take the active notes and refine and update them for someone other than you. This is a git repo my team has access to.
Aspirational - Ideas, concepts, all that jazz. For me this is lots of mechanical drawings etc that I want to CAD up, interesting phenomena that could be reproduced with code, far fetched ideas to solve the world's problems, nothing is off limits. This is a physical notebook and the one thing I'd grab if my house was on fire.
Google has some good resources on technical writing[1].
11th Gen+ Intel all support 64gb+ of RAM. If the laptop mobo supports 32gb dimms is another question all together.
Actionscript was the catalyst for me going from script kiddie to SWE. I made a decent living from 17-20 doing medical show kiosks and complex Flash sites for said medical providers. By the end of it I had a nice little data loading and UI component library akin to what you would see in Qt or GTK.
I really wish I still had the HDD with the files on it to reminisce.
Has to do with the limitations of radar. Radar will fail >40mph for stopped vehicles or detect them too late to stop. Honda and Tesla are working to remove radars and go vision only for speed control.
If you have a car with a AEB or CMBS (automatic emergency braking, crash mitigation braking system) the owners manual has a ton of fine print about it only making crashes less severe, not preventing them outright.
There is some news about it but it tends to be pretty local. The US is gigantic. Where I live there is tons of PFAS in the ground from air force fire fighting practice at a nearby airport. In the past few years its only recently got attention after being detected in ground water samples.
