Best I’ve had is to disable modern standby and re enable s3 standby.

The exponential problem has always been there. We keep finding tricks and optimizations in hardware and software to get by it but they’re only occasional.

The pruned models keep getting better so now You’re seeing them running on local hardware and cell phones and crap like that.

I don’t think they’re out of tricks yet, but God knows when we’ll see the next advance. And I don’t think there’s anything that’ll take this current path into AGI I think that’s going to be something else.

Missed opportunity

The gun should have been labeled !!

I ran gnome for about a decade. I really didn’t like how a lot of bits and pieces of it worked so I went and found all of the plugins and religiously installed and updated them. Updates what happened, crab would break, I’d just have to deal.

At some point I tried KDE. And it literally did everything that I was doing to gnome through plugins out of the box.

I’m all about configurability but I’m also a pretty big fan of not having to fuck with it because it already does what I want out of the box.

Billy West is 72, and Katey Sagal is 70. They’re trying to voice 20yo’s. There is a limited amount of content we’re going to get out of them. I’m also sure the budget wasn’t was it once was for the VA’s or the writers.

I’m happy that we’re getting more content. Even mediocre content has gems in it. I do wish they’d stray away from current issues as it takes them so long to produce episodes at this burn rate that the content is a bit aged by the time we’re watching it.

It’s a bit of math, split into two pieces.

You hand out one piece, that’s the public key. It’s tiny and simple.

You keep the other piece, that’s the private key. It’s long and complex.

The public key can scramble data that only the large piece can unscramble.

The private key can create a piece of data that only the public key can verify.

In practice, these keys can be kept in a database or a file, and they can be held in a hardware security key (yubi/fido). They can be stored on your phone, in Bitwarden, and just about anywhere that keeps passwords, they’re really just a few thousand bytes of data.

In many cases, You can store them in your phone’s private password storage, then when you log into a website, it will trigger a popup on your phone to authorize your login, so you don’t even have to keep them on the computer you’re using to access the secured site. Most of the implementations require you to have a biometric component. You need to face scan, fingerprint scan, or, worst case, use a password to unlock/verify the passkey on the device.

The upside here is that the keys are unique to every site. The public key is completely safe to hand out to everyone, it can’t be reverse engineered. This means that websites can’t leak your login credentials in any meaningful way. edit: Also since you’re using math to change a piece of data, it’s impervious to a replay attack and the communication even unencrypted would be reasonably safe even if someone was actively reading it.

As far as storing for loss, I’d consider regenerating them. I prefer using a password manager that stores them, that way my phone/computers all have access to the same keys.

Back when reddit* was just starting to fall to shit, I had already been dipping my toes in the mastodon water, and while I really liked the instance I was on it did not have enough people on it to properly surface good collections of off node traffic.

Knowing that Mastodon had the problem, I didn’t dick around with smaller nodes. To be honest it’s still a fight if you’re on a node with only a handful of people, you have to do something to mitigate the lack of community traffic in the face of lacking discoverability.

Lol I think that’s how tattoos work as well.

We have no lack of good people, I dare say we have more good people on any one of those services then the entirety of the top pane.

I want a working search engine. I want something to review my writing and suggest changes. I want high quality noise cancellation and background removal. I want high quality speech to text and text to speech.

These are the things I want from AI I don’t really want something training my every want and whim to provide me better ads. But the stuff I listed in the first paragraph here is really advantageous to most people I believe.

I don’t care what the website looks like as long as the product still works as amazingly as it does now.

Firefox, pi hole

So many f****** ads I gave my cell phone cancer.

TMA:DR

When taking the geometric mean of 73 benchmarks run for this comparison, upgrading from the Ryzen 9 7950X to 9950X on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS yielded a 14% generational improvement with this set of cross-platform applications/benchmarks while under Windows 11 was a 10% generational improvement. The raw performance of Ubuntu Linux on the AMD Ryzen processors also was greater overall to the extent of the Ryzen 9 7950X to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS nearly matching the Ryzen 9 9950X on Microsoft Windows 11.

You could make automatic breaking without a full blown computer, but it’s so much cheaper to put a full-blown computer than it is to do it all in hardware. Everything uses turing complete equipment now, it’s actually less expensive at this point.

There’s absolutely no reason not to put multiple computers in the car I think the real win is not surfacing it to the end user.

A link to an article about enshittification that’s just a solid paywall…

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have a slightly different suggestion.

Inflation is crap and the first thing to go are subscriptions that raise their prices when people are already hurting. If you want retention, keep your prices locked when users are having bad times and you’re raking in record profits.

I think curation is great too, but I also think age plays a lot into individual views. A bunch of the younger guys at work were saying how they didn’t want playlists and they didn’t want to listen to an album, they just wanted to hit a button that knew their tastes musically and would give them a mix of familiar likes and new discoveries. The proceeded to describe a radio station to me, sans commercials. They were hot on all the music streaming and though I was crazy for wanting to spend time sorting through music.

Looking at a Spotify by age graph, the boomers dig it (because it’s easy?), Gen-Z and the Younger Millennials dig it, Gen X has less than half the uptake of the other groups.

We were mixing our own tapes in our tweens and teens. We wired ourselves to find music, copy it and play it in the specific order we want.

or at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I hate the religion, I hate that there’s even a pope. But this guy, He’s the fucking best.

The problem is we are very very sensitive to rotten food.

Water and soap will do very little to remove any of that if that’s bound itself to the plastic.

You could use a high pH solution to try to tear up any organics. An extended soak in week hydrogen peroxide or a soak in a light lye solution might get the job done.

Ozone, sunlight, retrobrite, barkeeper’s friend, vinegar they’re all trying to do the same thing destroy those organics left on the plastic. But in some cases that stuff just binds and there’s not that much you can do about it.

To be perfectly honest they’re all fine. Most of the major distributions are install it and run it. If you try one and you don’t like it don’t get discouraged try another. If you have trouble getting your hardware working on one try a different one.

I mean why not, Light, structural. They’re not going to stand up to any damage taken no matter what they make them out of they’re just not big enough
