I use Arch in WSL BTW. This is not a joke its actually quite nice

It would be luck based for pure LLMs, but now I wonder if the models that can use Python notebooks might be able to code a script to count it. Like its actually possible for an AI to get this answer consistently correct these days.

My bad, its Microsoft that keeps changing their recommendations, had it in my mind it was bad for some reason.

ICANN can pry “.local” from my cold dead hands!

Personally, if I can’t go from human readable data to a complete model then I don’t consider it open source. I understand these companies want to keep the magic sauce thats printing them money but all the open source marketing is inherently dishonest. They should be clear that the architecture and the product they are selling is separate, much like proprietary software just has all the open source software they used as a footnote in their about screens.

They mention this other article as a source at the bottom, it has pictures. Just high surface area objects made of reactive materials and 3d printing is an easy way to make them

Godot does have a special thing for mesh instancing, I think variations were possible as well like different colored triangles maybe? https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/performance/vertex_animation/animating_thousands_of_fish.html

The way I understand the users didn’t necessarily realize McAfee is responsible, just that a bunch of sqlite files appeared in temp so they might not connect the dots here anyway. Or even know McAfee is installed considering their shady practices.

I do think we’re machines, I said so previously, I don’t think there is much more to it than physical attributes, but those attributes let us have this discussion. Remarkable in its own right, I don’t see why it needs to be more, but again, all personal opinion.

I read this question a couple times, initially assuming bad faith, even considered ignoring it. The ability to change, would be my answer. I don’t know what you actually mean.

Personally my threshold for intelligence versus consciousness is determinism(not in the physics sense… That’s a whole other kettle of fish). Id consider all “thinking things” as machines, but if a machine responds to input in always the same way, then it is non-sentient, where if it incurs an irreversible change on receiving any input that can affect it’s future responses, then it has potential for sentience. LLMs can do continuous learning for sure which may give the impression of sentience(whispers which we are longing to find and want to believe, as you say), but the actual machine you interact with is frozen, hence it is purely an artifact of sentience. I consider books and other works in the same category.

I’m still working on this definition, again just a personal viewpoint.

Its a thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

Yes, forgot the exact details apologies

You can change those to /dev/disk/by-uuid/XYZ (“ls -an” that directory to see the symlinks to your current drives)

Basically just look for things like root=/dev/sda2 in the kernel command line. You can get it at runtime by running “cat /proc/cmdline” having /dev/sda etc in your fstab might also be a problem

Yes if you have multiple drives some buggy BIOS may not enumerate them in the same order every time. Most modern distros do UUIDs by default but when manually setting up a bootloader it is easy to succumb to such temptations to use the much simpler device paths as the UUIDs are a pain. If you’re not sure how to change the kernel parameters most likely you’re good on that front actually, its in your grub config as others have mentioned. I’ll leave this comment around in case some poor soul who did it manually comes across the thread.

Depending on if you wrote the kernel cmdline yourself I imagine this might happen using /dev/sdN style device paths? BIOS might change things up every now and then for fun, so using partition UUIDs would be a better way if so.

Maybe a bit late, but I’ve worked on this kind of functionality. I did not work on the algorithm, but the guys who did say:

• Voice print data is not enough to reconstruct the voice
• There is an input validation step specifically to detect TTS, so you may have trouble. EDIT nvm I read TTY wrong lol, still interesting they check for this

This is of course based on trust, but these are the claims.
