FOSS is like handcrafts that's easy to distribute. I bet there's some hobbyist brewers and carpenters who'd love to share their work for the joy and utility their craft provides for their local community.

I'm a little confused about it.
I thought Libreboot was deblobbed coreboot, but it isn't.
That's canoeboot, which is a fork of Libreboot.

When is the AI bubble going to pop? This is taking too long.
47 replies and 13 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>107696032
I think that's been the case pretty much since the beginning. There was a grace period at the very beginning when it was cool for a normie to draw something without any talent or write a blog post in two minutes. But people quickly realized that it was pointless and that it was actually full of errors and ugly. Literally no normie uses the AI tools available right now; they're only used by tech industries to sell shit sloppa.
And the entire industry is artificially kept afloat by microsoft and google.
>>
When investor appetite falls enough that free cash stops flowing into AI labeled startups.
For this to happen the people funding the bubble (Enterprise boomers who think ChatGPT is God, Wall Street Finance bro retards, Oil Sheiks, Retail chasing FOMO, Korean pension funds) needs to stop buying equity and credit of AI startups.
Once AI startups cannot service their debt, the data centers don't get paid, the data center debt doesn't get paid, forced sales are triggered, nvidia doesn't get paid, oracle can't service their debt, microsoft scales back investment out of caution, same for google, meta defaults on its AI venture debt, panic selling of equity begins, AI related debt is marked to near zero and becomes impossible to refinance, AI startup stakes marked down to zero, their debt becomes worthless, banks mark down their stakes, they are forced to sell, funds get margin called and are forced to sell, Elon buys XAI from his sandnigger investors for cents on the dollar, Altman moves to Israel to give Ted talks, the FED starts quantitative easing.
And then we move on to the next grift.

>>
>>107700335
>contemporary technology
It never used to be this way.
There was a time when you could buy something and it would work, it wouldn't require over the air updates because they shipped it before it was ready in a desperate grab for more money.

The crux of the issue is the "I'm not doing anything wrong" mentality.

Each iteration of removing control wasn't met with resistance. It was reward with purchase. Then reinforced with future purchase. I don't care, I don't have anything to hide... X feature doesn't impact me anyway... etc. etc.

Fifty or so loops later... here we are. Some folk have notice the noose tightening and are starting to wriggle.
As opposed to not standing on the swinging platform to begin with (and paying for the priviledge).

Why does he always look like he has a rampant fever? He’s like a moist C3PO.

Anyway, I’m not against the development of AI or even LLMs at all. What I am against is the push by corporations to cram genAI into fucking everything when it’s obviously premature to everyone. And also the hyperscalers are fucking retards, they’ve literally trained on all data they’ve managed to scrape from the internet and getting diminishing returns but are still larping like this is the road to AGI when it’s clearly just fancy autocomplete.

You and op are dumber than the dumbest gorilla nigger to walk the earth.
Your power from the outlet goes to your house breaker panel, which is shared across your entire house, then that goes out to the power pole and over into your local power transformer, which is shared with your street or block, then that goes along some 10kv or so wires to your local substation, which is shared with your entire neighbourhood or more.
Everything is under load. You can never raise voltage higher than the source, so a load in your neighbours house is all the same.

There are two issues.
1. Power factor overall across an entire city is fucked, which can lower measured rms voltages using a known load like this
2. Reliance on cheap electronics can cause inaccurate results.

If you want to measure your power at home accurately, use an oscilloscope

Pretty much anything LLVM supports as a target. There's a full list in every changelog. The main HAL is microzig. Freestanding support is pretty good because the standard libraries don't really make any OS calls and all memory allocators are passed in at time of use.
