Because that’s how unsuspecting people get spyware and viruses. Sure, the clones must publish their source code, but that doesn’t stop them from profiting from open source software while contributing nothing

The original clone keeps making money from people who don’t know any better, even if it’s an exact replica. Just look at the windows app store

One of the goals of source first licenses is to stop enshittification since it doesn’t allow paid clones

Not saying I agree with their policy, but I would hope more for-profit businesses make their source code available

They can, but they don’t. I pinged for an hour and didn’t lose any

The highest ping is like 3 ms, that’s not going to make a difference when my ping is 120ms. Let me remind you the pings over the wire can spike a millisecond too

I don’t need as good. What am I going to do with 1Gb/s? My internet is 100Mb/s

The connection in the other room has 1-2ms delay. The wired connection has 0.5ms delay so it’s not even a full 1 ms advantage in latency.

You can see with image generation progress was extremely quick

It’s irrelevant because it wasn’t a precursor technique. The precursor was machine learning research, not other image generation technology

Creating abstract art by moving pixels around is not anywhere close to what we mean by image generation. At no point did this other software generate something from a prompt

Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before. Now we’re getting video gen like a few years later.

Let’s not forget we started by playing the game of Go better. My prediction as a hobby Go programmer (the game, not language) in 2015 would be that better than human AIs would be there by 2020 and they got there by 2016.

Before the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol people predicted the AI would just put up a decent fight since a previous version played questionably against a weaker player. It blew one of the best players ever out of the water, losing only one game of the series.

Future matches even against the world #1 with the better models showed it to be invincible against humans

You’re making the same mistake. You’re looking at the current capabilities and predicting a human speed of improvement. AI is improving faster.

Nix is the best packaging system. One of the best kept secrets is you can download old packages from github and it will install old deps into a different folder. Very useful for just downloading the exact wine version you want or keeping a broken package at the version it still worked on. I’d use bottles, but the wine versions it provided were not the latest!

So NixOS, being based on Nix is the best distro

I have only used groups to ask questions. Do people still do that, go browse the Facebook feed? I thought that’s a grandma thing

I don’t know how it’s easier, if it’s the same arch they should share most of the codebase

Imagine how fast the Russian IT grinds to a halt without SO

If it’s 1/10 of the cost of purchasing them from TSMC, it’s viable

Yes

You spend a lot of time fighting snaps. I wanted to install GrapheneOS which needs direct access to USB from the browser. Snaps can’t do that, so I had to hunt for a chromium .deb on the web. Might as well use windows if I’m doing to Google “$software installer”

I don’t know what that would do for me, though, what can I do on the LAN when the internet gateway is down? Also, why should the gateway reboot? I would like it to be up all the time

Why would I? I just want to run OpenWRT for the features, I don’t even use ethernet other than the port in

Definitely in the vein of what I was looking for, but for almost $90 I am going to ask for WiFi 6E
