That last line is absolutely disgusting but true.

Federation? You mean the Galactic Trade Federation?

Let me out! Let me outtt!

“Don’t attribute to malice what is explained by incompetence”

As a millennial myself, I have immense respect for “tech boomers”. They walked so that we could run during the 90s tech boom.

I have seen young people not knowing any other directory other than Downloads and not understanding that there is a filesystem inside their phone.

The file is not in my downloads

Me: Have you checked other directories?

Other directories?

Me: Okay, open your file manager.

What’s a file manager?

Me: Okay, do you have Google Files (an application which I detest but I know is pre-installed in Android phone)

Umm…have to check.

How do you save a picture? Where is Downloads? How do you apply a saved picture as a wallpaper?

These are confusing questions to boomers and Gen Z.

Why not have a simple app which “automatically” does all the hard work (just in exchange of a little of your data)?

How do I delete this part of the python documentation?

The only usecase for foldables that made sense is that since phones keep on getting bigger, so having a foldable phone would save some pocket space. However, I think phones stopped growing after 6" and foldable phones have been considerably more expensive. People are just more comfortable with a normal “slab” phone.

as difficult as plugging in a flash drive

That’s a gross over-simplification

They have to

1. Download the windows ISO
   • How do you find the original ISO and not a cracked one?
2. Get instructions to modify the ISO
   • Hope you get the right set of instructions from a genuine website
3. Download Rufus and install
4. Make backup of their data
   • Hope you disabled Bitlocker also
5. Reboot and press the F? key to change boot order (F? varies from system to system)
   • How do you even find the right key for this?
6. Follow the installation process

One of the reasons Linux is not widespread is because following these “simple” instructions is too much for an average user. So I doubt a Windows user will be bothered to modify their OS. I have installed different variants of Linux 100s of time and even I need to check online if their are any hidden gotchas.

but if you install it right

Basically eliminates the vast majority of people who don’t have the technical knowledge to deal with Rufus

How do you activate Arch Premium? I got that stupid “Activate” overlay on my desktop.

The people from Heroic are already working on this.

Source: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/ubuntu-summit-2024-highlights-linux-gaming-talks-on-umu-and-heroic-launcher/

The talk gives a brief overview on what they’ve been working on like UWP/WinRT in Wine, Comet for GOG multiplayer features and more. But Lidwin also does a quick little sneak peek intro on a new project called Maxima Launcher, an open source replacement for EA Desktop / Origin that will eventually get Heroic integration too.

What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ?

Any time you ask very domain specific questions; eg “i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”, both of-the-shelf local models & OpenAI fail.

The main reason is because these models are not trained on highly-specialized domains of text. Sometimes the models start hallucinating and which reduces our trust upon them.

Should have been called AITL (AITL Is a Translation Layer)

I think mkdocs is easier than hugo but less flexible in terms of capability. However it serves all my needs (list of webpages accessible from a central frontpage)

My company is realizing that hosting a model which will be private, cost-effective, and performing better than traditional algorithms is like finding a unicorn. Few months back, the top execs were jumping around GenAI like a bunch of kids. Fortunately, the Sr. research head beat some sense into them.

Adobe should get comfortable with users not using AI
