This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):
>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.
>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time
>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males
>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verification
Her only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.

A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.

Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).

is it not fundamentally the same tech just super scaled up to be mega inefficient and brute forced

>>108512526
by profitable i mean its still profitable for them to scam investors with the fake promises, i know they lose money due to the inefficiency
but if this is really how llms work, that they always have to rely on mega data and brute force, even with economy of scale won't they always stay inefficient and unprofitable?
>>
>>108512493
>what was the innovation
There were multiple innovations plus simple brute force at scale. It's nowhere near being profitable, and it's still uncertain how useful it will turn out to be. A lot of AI output is solidly in the uncanny valley territory right now (e.g. the ballyhooed AI-written C compiler that can supposedly compile Linux but couldn't compile a simple hello world program), and it's uncertain if they'll be able to pull out of it.
>>
>>108512526
>they are currently losing lots of money to stay competitive while praying to God that the competition just can't keep up... eventually.
Which btw was the Uber (and usually is the whole startup game) prime strategy during the 2010s. They drove prices down so aggressively that it made the competition a bunch of kids playing tic-tac-toe and unable to compete, while of course expanding like maniacs.
Different from Uber, though, it's not that hard to catch up when you are an AI company, thus the famous Google quote, "OpenAI has no moat, and neither do us". You can even train on your competitors tokens (a practice called distillation, which recently Anthropic tried to poison).
Btw that's why Altman and co was seething and shitting themselves in fear calling for AI Safety and talking about the end of the world, the risk of AGI etc. They were try to regulate the market so they could curb-stomp any other companies from trying to get in.
>>
>>108512535
>even with economy of scale won't they always stay inefficient and unprofitable?
We are in a phase of the tech, which is the case of almost any tech race, where they are burning crazy capex to stay relevant and competitive. There's nothing saying that after the competition dies out (which sort of happened to companies like Mistral, and I think Deepseek seems to be in deepshit, too) and they get their exit, the engineer will go gaga on optimizing everything to make it cheaper to run.
Google did exactly that these days. I can't give you the details, but they made context window tokens fairly compact in a recent paper, something like that.
So my point being, they just need to set their minds to, but right now is not the time yet. Or at least that's my reading.

I hate the shitty threads you people make.
I want to share what has opened my eyes, for other novices like me, who are trying to leave Winslop 11.

This thread is supposed to put you on the right track to making your own decision,
after reading this thread the fog of Linux won't be there anymore,
you will know what you want and you will find the distro that is suitable for you.

> 1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg
This old image includes 95% of all Linux distros in existence, study this.

Studying this image alone, is going to help you see through idiotic arguments like "mint is better" or "go with arch" or "go with pop_os" -- most of them have a parent OS.

> 2. Distro arguments are pointless. #1 choice that you must make is what family Linux do you want and pick.
If you studied image above, you will see there distinct few families of Linux, the relevant ones are: Debian, Fedora, Arch.

Good idea, but it's too many words. A general needs to be shortened to single post, composed of only a few small paragraphs or links. You have good info but are ranting and it is overwhelming. I suggest you make something like this:

"In the GNU/Linux world there are three main branches, each with their own package manager and community. They are: Debian (apt), Arch (pacman), and Red Hat (dnf-rpm). Though there are also various and semi-popular independent distros such as Alpine, Nix, and Gentoo."

Some of Debian's popular forks include
>Mint*
>MX Linux
>Pop OS*
>Zorin*
>AntiX

Futures and “promises” are from web “developers” lol… get an education, or at least ask someone who is a real developer.
You’re confusing a random library with a language feature. Goroutines are part of the language.

>>108511962
> use case
The use case is that some idiot thought his elevator wasn’t working because he “sensed” that it
1) had firmware (it doesn’t)
2) somehow “knew” the firmware was written in C++ (it wasn’t)
3) also “knows” that it was a memory access bug
4) could NEVER be solved by rebooting the elevator controller—it never worked, it was shipped like that
5) figured out the ONLY solution was to spend years developing a new language

Basically, a nutter/grifter.

With NAT you handicap your own hardware and introduce worse performance on your whole network. This alone should be enough to ditch it.
Even stateful firewalls are less CPU intensive than NAT.
You can't host services and applications via NAT.
Port forwarding/port mapping is not a solution. It is even more resource intensive as now your router has to also account for every port rule entry you set up in the config.

>>108510592
>functionally there is no loss.
See above.

>So a huge unsolvable technical issue
I mean, it can solve itself for the right price. If you are an ISP, you just have to find your target customers. IPv6 is still better though, it just solve the problem of scarcity along with many other technical issues.

>We only need to suffer moving over and then we get all the benefits.
True but it does not apply to anything. Legacy applications only supports IPv4, and transition mechanisms are still shit to this day.
