>>108528738>what are the odds this prevents me from using 3rd party batteriesI've been looking into getting an 8th gen model as an upgrade, with the intention of libre/corebooting it, and I haven't seen anything regarding the EC hwitelist (at least, not explicitly mentioned). I looked through the EC patch github everyone uses for xx30 ThinkPads, and I saw a list of newer models, so I'd take that as an indication that there's a hardware hwitelist present on those too.

I don't think people really understand how powerful the next generation of AI models is going to be.Claude Mythos, when it comes out, will be the largest AI model ever made. After GPT3, AI companies stopped scaling up models because of the compute requirements. They just focused instead of improvements, like algorithmic improvements, building tooling around the models, improvements in techniques of training models, and reasoning improvements. Mythos will be the first generation of the big boys. I doubt it'll be cheap given all the compute it'll take to train and run it. There's no way these companies could charge the same rates they've been charging.They will come with all the improvements in technique learnt from the GPT3-GPT5 generation, as well as agentic improvements in tooling and be scaled up in size at a multiple from the generation we're at now.I think people are going to be really surprised, but they won't be able to afford it until compute costs come down drastically. Corporations will, though. I think when corporations start paying subscriptions to Myrthos there's going to be a scramble for hiring experts in prompting, because every hour their company is running the model, it'll cost. And they'll need people that can really efficiently use these big models.
Remember that GPT3 was so intelligent that it had to go private to make mone- I mean preserve the human race.

>>108524388To this day I do not understand why they rejected epochs. After seeing how much of a shitshow the std::string ABI break was you'd think they would have standardized something to allow doing breaks cleanly instead of electing "Well let's just never break ABI again. Surely that won't be too hard."The only reason I still recommend staying with C++ at work is because all our legacy code is written in it and doing a rewrite in another language just isn't worth it when we only have two devs and tight schedules.
>>108528439>To this day I do not understand why they rejected epochs. After seeing how much of a shitshow the std::string ABI break was you'd think they would have standardized something to allow doing breaks cleanly instead of electing "Well let's just never break ABI again. Surely that won't be too hard."I'm not even sure we need epoch as the language versions themselves are the ABI, if you can't use C++17 because your software was made for C++11 then it's fine, you can still use this versionbasically forever, just like we're still making C89 software nearly 40 years later.I deal wtih C++98-17 at work, still no sign of adopting C++20 or newer, all these guarantees they're putting into place to get old code to run on newer versions of the language are worthless to me and to millions of others, we would rather have better hashmap and shit than the decades old broken implementation because it would break the code of an imaginary software.I understand not breaking everything all the time but a few breaks here and ther to make our lives easier is fine.
>>108528487Same sort of deal. The important part is TUs provide information about ABI version for compatibility and fail to link if there's an incompatibility. Whether that's epochs like in P1881 or something else doesn't matter too much.I do I definitely agree that newer versions being incompatible with older versions should be something the language designers can do with minimal impact.
>>108521235my only real grip with modules is you cant use forward declarations to break circular references
I use emacsThe only language I know well is CMy preferred build system is a shell/bat scriptI don't even know how to vibe codeGive it to me straight, /g/, am I obsolete?
kinda mad i never learned emacs 20yrs ago even though i half shilled it myself cause dtallman talked about it
>>108529034i'm really curious, what makes emacs "based" to you if it isn't its ability to be configured to suit your needs?
>>108529480>What makes it based The key binding are awesome. I tried the vim short cuts and they never worked well. Also if you are using C or C++ its GDB and LLDB integrations are nice. I picked it up to learn lisp and stuck with it since then.
>>108529097>I also have never been a fan of recursion over iteration.The CL guys use conventional iteration all the fucking time. What do you think the loop macro is?

>>108529534The article was interesting but I'm still not sure I understand exactly how Common Lisp is used. What is the advantage of using CL over the other programming languages out there?

>>108521524> 24 hoursThat seems excessively unstable.My win7 machine can stay up for months. I vaguely remember getting like 6 months once. Most of my restarts are caused by accidental power loss. Also, my 17 year old gpu is in the process of failing, and even that has only caused a blue screen like twice. What state are these people's machines in to only last 24 hours.
>>108528203The vast majority of users are completely and utterly helpless. My MSP is very small, and we still get calls 6-7 days a week for ANYTHING you can think of. Literally 'My mouse isn't working...' and 'How do I turn on my monitor?' tier shit almost every day.

>Arch still doesn't have GNOME 50 in the stable branchSo much for "bleeding edge", huh?
Stop spamming this thread, "please."
Arch Linux is rolling release, not bleeding edge. I don't understand how you're trying to use its failure to be as bad as the strawman as somehow also bad. And it does already have GNOME 50. In the testing repos. Just enable the testing repos if you want to beta test the latest IBMslop. Fedora and OpenSUSE are the correct distros for guzzling IBMslop as soon as/even before it's out.
>>108529756Use case for GNOME 50?

>>10852860210 IoT LTSC till 2032 or till Adobe, Nvidia and Kernel Anti Cheat Games stop supporting older Windows builds. Since every Denuvo is now cracked, AAA games will force kernel level access for offline games soon.
LTSC 2024 I think uses Edge WebView2 for its start menu and other core parts unlike LTSC 2021.Supposedly LTSC 2027 (if they release it) will get rid of that and switch to WinUI. It's unclear if that'll actually improve it.
>>108529019Newer versions of Adobe software don't really add anything useful as far as I can tell.Nvidia drivers that say they're for Win11 should still be able to install on Win10, might need to modify a setup file to unblock it.Kernel Anti Cheat is for generic gacha/lootbox zoomer multiplayer games. You're not a zoomer, are you?
>>108529051Early zoomer, but I'm not a winfag, I just listed typical windows needs. But yeah, I'd go with 10 IoT LTSC, if I had to, at least until 11 gets native apps back.

how has it become so censored?
Let me guess, they started filtering child porn? Anyway a Russian honeypot was always going to censor certain things.
>>108529700the same way everything else in the world becomes censored, they want to earn money and to do that they need to accept payments which means following payment processor rules, or they need to have advertisers that want to feel comfortable having their product displayed on their platform which means followin advertiser rules.
Yandex was sold a year or two ago. It isn't le based kremlin service that doesn't care what content Americans access anymore.
It used to be great for reverse searching porn. Now there is no service which does this well.
Personally, I am using a laptop. Some ThinkPad models are not as modular. I have an X1 Carbon; it is very good. I enjoy being able to move around. Sometimes the couch is uncomfortable, so I want to sit at my desk. Sometimes the desk is uncomfortable, so I want to sit on the couch. I respect the quality of ThinkPads. Do you prefer laptops (not limited to ThinkPads) or desktops?
>>108525456Big computer for doing stuff. Small computer when I don't want to get out of bed, or when I want to watch a video while cooking.
>>108525456I grew up on desktops but moved to laptops for some reason, I think because of travel and other things. A few times I've bought new desktop setups only to never use them and retreat back to my laptop. I even bought a screen extender attachment to have dual screens on my laptop which is handy sometimes but even then I barely use that.

>>108528597There's no reason Windows 10 LTSC shouldn't work on your laptop, it's not more demanding of resources.It's literally just Windows 10 that doesn't update often and doesn't have all the bloat.
>>108528636I've tried installing Windows 10 iot LTSC Enterprise twice and it just does not work, I wish it could work but sadly it does not. Every attempt ends with BSOD, anons on /fwt/ pointed out that p/e cores is the reason for that. Eventually I gave up and installed Windows 11.
>>108529556Odd. Did you try it with Windows 11 LTSC as well?
>>108529594No, I've never tried that, right now im using Windows 11 Home.
>>108529764Might want to look into it. Also, if you're not aware, you have to use massgrave to crack it.I'm admittedly more of a Linux person than a Windows person and the Windows version I use is just Windows 11 Pro but I don't think Linux is for everyone and it's always good to know your options.
You would have the required software (like VLC, Olama etc) to run your chosen stuff and the OS of your choosing, plus your current setup with unlimited power.Some other rules:There would be no internet in the apocalypse and you can't count a large group or collection of media as one, meaning you can't say you are taking the entirety of nyaa with you after downloding all the torrents, you can only take a single anime with you (premade collections which don't require alot of storage like the entirety of anna's archive or Wikipedia is allowed)So g, what are you taking?What are you taking?For me it's Skyrim with a fuckton of mods, the best Rp LLM that my gpu can usably run and an image generation model for gooning or anna's archive.
