>>107786859>Mostly my fault.Do you make enough money for your lifestyle? If so, fuck it. Stop caring. It does not matter. The world is going to shit. Spend every moment you can bettering yourself and enjoying it. We aren't getting a retirement. The time to enjoy life is sooner because later isn't promised.

In 8 years, OpenAI will use 50% of the US's total electricity generate.This isn't factoring the amount of GPUs they'd be purchasing, nor the fresh clean water they'd need to cool the GPUs powering their data centers.USA's electricity generation has stagnated for the past 30 years despite a rise in population.How much do you imagine your electricity bill to be by 2033?
>>107810116>immediate termhow is 10 years building a coal plant immediate term? the people who built them were the greatest/silent generation + older generation. boomers have experts but they did everything in their power to never train anybody and sabotage everybody afterwards. >they will just refit the old coal plantswith what expertise? boomers are dementia and nobody from gen-x knows shit about this either. it doesn't matter if they want to cut "regulation" or whatever cope retards have to pretend that's why it's delayed/slow/not working. there's nobody with the expertise on earth outside of china who could do it in the "immediate term".
>>107808913No projection of OpenAI makes sense, the compute they consume has a growth factor 50% higher than their revenue. They probably won't exist (and certainly won't exist in their current form) a year from now.

>>107809800> AGI is not worth thisActual AGI would world changing. Of course the current AI offerings are not AGI, and won't ever be.
>>107810453>not AGI, and won't ever beWhy, because you believe that development will magically stop tomorrow, or because the term "AGI" is so vague you'll just always use some arbitrary criteria to deny it no matter how capable these systems might become?

>>107809240understandable. i had as my main an x13 with 32 gb of ram. it runs hot and suffocates the whole room when i open firefox. switched to a used t460 a few days ago.
Before I give up and buy a System76 laptop, is there a screen mod for the T420 that replaces the LCD panel with something more modern that doesn't suck? The ThinkWiki article on the subject hasn't been updated in 10 years so I wonder if there's any newer information.For portable computing I don't need a more powerful CPU or anything, so fixing the screen and battery would be enough to keep the ThinkPad in service.
>>107788922>I unironically think it's going to get more valuable the way things are headedits a t series thinkpad anon. the only chinkpads that have risen in value are x230s, and that is because theyre getting rare + the form factor is no longer produced
>>107810221Well I think any capable computer will go up in value because shit is about to hit the fan in a once in a hundred year type of way. Your schizophrenia mileage may vary

For the first time in a long time, learning/working is fun again.
>>107801840I take hand written notes, but on a tablet (remarkable 2 because I like that my tablet doesn't have distractions like a web browser or anything). I haven't noticed any real difference from having 100 billion notebooks vs taking my handwritten notes on a tablet.
>>107807819Do you think your LLM won't have that problem? The LLM is "learning" to mimick the books. If the book sources are wrong, the LLM will also be wrong if it was trained on that incorrect book.
>>107801565My interest is on history and ancient knowledges, and obviously AI is SHIT for it.
>>107801565AI has done more teach me C++ than human could ever have. Not even kidding.
>>107801565I ask brave search AI questions. Sometimes it's helpful, but it's 50/50. I fucked my system up by listening to it when I was trying to get hardware acceleration working and had to restore. Don't listen to AI when it starts referring to the kernelI treat it like an enhanced search engine. It's good for retrieving info and saves time. But do not take advice from it. You still have to do the work, you can't just let it hand hold you to solve something

>>107809791I love this.It makes it easy for me to know what companies to avoid. Copilot really is helpful.
Why? What is this even for? No seriously, even considering the current AI space, what the fuck even is this???
>>107809810Microsoft asked for this because the pajeets who run it right now are debilitatingly autistic.
>>107810311It's probably because the technology is useful elsewhere so they have a reason to develop it but it's either not directly profitable but very useful to powers that be or not currently profitable and ramping up, so they're trying to pawn the costs off onto the average person or make an extra buck.
>>107810475In all likelihood they're trying to have normies recoup the cost for it as it has uses to them that aren't useful to a regular person. At this point they're shitting themselves that people just aren't interested and the Microslop thing bothering the CEO to the point of nearly crying means things are really bad.

somebody found the source code of UNIX V4 in Utah, two months ago. https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
unix and its consequences have been a disaster for mankindshould've incinerated it
>>107808764They made AI a software curator? What a bold move.
>>107810206>unix devs must have kept the source code, no?the early versions of unix never left bell labs. version 5 and later was distributed more widely.
>>107810357Written by AI, never explains where (or why) sbin came from.I believe the S in Sbin comes from “Static” as in statically linked.

is there any support in vim to save multiple tabs into a single formatted file, or is that asking too much of my beloved text editor.i might write a plugin if not.
>>107808707Try :h Session for the built-in functionality. There are third-party plugins, too, if you don't like how it works.
>>107808707:read! cat %a #h <next buffer> > file.txtuse :buffers to get shorthand buffer names, or just use the filenames.

i learned about it recently and it seems quite cool, but i don't even know if i would need it. i'm not a researcher or a writer, i just have a very overactive internal monologue (sometimes i can kinda space out and live in my head) and i want to be able to form a personal "knowledge base" to organize my interests/values/things ive learned/even just things i need to do. what do you use it for? or is it just one of those things where people use it for a week and then forget about it forever?
>>107801238I use it for organizing worldbuilding notes and TTRPG rules. Being able to link between notes is nice for those projects, but if you don't have a use for that then you're probably better off with any old text editor.
>>107801238>is it just one of those things where people use it for a week and then forget about it forever?Probably, but that's true of most habit changes and self-improvement projects. That's how people are.>i want to be able to form a personal "knowledge base" to organize my interests/values/things ive learned/even just things i need to do.My advice is to start with simple tools (like a physical notebook or plain-text files). If those notes become a big part of your life after a few months, think about converting to a more sophisticated tool.
>>107808887Only if you wanted it to be.
>>107801238A friend of mine is using it to write his novels.He seems to like it a lot.
I dislike the lack of a native way to handle markdown that is outside of the vault. Ideally I could just one off edit markdown files or even link markdown files that are part of separate project files but connected like cousins or something.
Use NixOSUse FlakesIt's Linux, but perfected.
>>107810242>Flatpaks are really only useful if it is an application that never needs to interact with anything else.ie: most applications
>>107800119Guix, close enough>>107801668Weirdly true, I know Gentoo users who are scared of slackware and consider it to be harder
>>107810259>I know Gentoo users who are scared of slackware and consider it to be hardernta but I used slackware for years. it is NOT harder than Gentoo, not even close. Slack's installation is harder than something like Fedora's automated install, but no where near as hard as something like Arch's manual install. Using slack is just "run of the mill." What makes it "hard" - and I put that word in quotes for a reason - is its out of date / out of touch dependency management. there is no package manager to tell you what dependencies are missing, so you have to painstakingly track them down.which is really moronic in 2026. the slacker community acts like this some badge of honor or something when you waste 4 hours of day trying to get steam working. also, it's poorly managed now. I mean really poorly managed.it was one of the very first distros to hit the "mainstream" and back then it was pretty amazing (for its time). Now? it's a mess, it's a dead distro that hasn't realized it's dead yet.Gentoo is a 100x harder than Slackware.
>>107810404In my case, its not that Ive used Slackware extensively, but Ive come to the very same conclusion based on the little Ive experienced and reading the complaints of the same people who claim its complicated to useI imagine most people use "hard" as a synonym for "insufferable, annoying to use"
>>107810490>I imagine most people use "hard" as a synonym for "insufferable, annoying to use"I think that hits the nail on the head. It is unnecessarily insufferable. They... well HE.... primarily Patrick Volkerding, could easily just include flatpak in the distro and set up, or even let the user direct it to flathub, but he/they won't even do that. And, try installing flatpak, it's a disaster. The white beard fucks who swear by it, just don't understand that people don't have time for that shit these days. They'll tell you it's "learning Linux." No, no it's not. Installing Arch, installing LFS, installing Gentoo is how you LEARN Linux. Wasting time googling for what libraries this or that program needs is not learning Linux - it's merely wasting your time.Slackware COULD be somewhat magical if the maintainer would pull his head out of his ass.
