AI code is like alternative medicine, it’s called that when it’s bad and doesn’t work. If it does, it’s just called code. And the issue isn’t using code made by AI, it’s when people who don’t know how to code think the AI does, and blindly do without checking. That’s very unlikely to happen with the Linux kernel, as the entire project is basically just one constant code review where it really doesn’t matter if bad code was written by a human or an AI.

Even Torvalds has used AI to help with his projects, because it would be kinda silly not to.

Because.

Bah, first people complain when suddenly they can’t turn their computers off, now they complain when they can’t turn them on…

It’s using a whole bunch of Steam Deck spare parts bought from iFixit, and a few after market upgrades like hall effect sticks and an extremerate shell replacement. Buying a single trigger (just the plastic R2/L2 trigger, mind you) for $20 to fix a broken $500 Deck isn’t too bad, but trying to build an entire controller from spares is really not economically sensible.

But if you did indeed have those parts already for some reason, the rest is all rather cheap, common components. Cannibalize a Deck, and the extra cost would probably be well under $50.
…plus the $500 to buy a replacement Deck, so don’t actually do it.

If you want to make it singular like he/she/it, then make it singular.

He has a car, she has a car, they has a car.
He was friendly, she was friendly, they was friendly.
He sounds fine, she sounds fine, they sounds fine.

Notice the issue?
A singular they is an okay concept, but you then have actually allow it to be singular, in every use - a direct replacement for he/she with no other word or sentence changes necessary.

Which would still not be perfect because “foo@bar”, “foo@[123.123.123.123]” and “💩 @[IPv6 :::1]” are all technically valid email addresses.

It looks like the only validation that doesn’t block something valid pretty much would start and end at “It has at least one @ symbol, and something on both sides”.

The unofficial one was leaked a month ago :p

Used Pebble is one option.
If you can handle soldering in a battery, you can usually buy a Pebble or Pebble Steel for really cheap (just make sure it isn’t a first batch glued shut model). Don’t get a Round, batteries are really hard to find. Pebble 2 and Pebble 2 Duo will also need replacement side buttons, they disintegrate quickly.

Obviously they will have zero days of warranty though :p

It should be an IRC clone. Having the voice and screen sharing is also kinda nice.

Instead it’s IRC + MSN messenger + Ventrilo + Skype + TeamViewer + MegaShare + Wiki + Game server hosting + Forum and probably a few more I’m forgetting, and adding more half-working bloat all the time.

IIRC here in Finland they keep failing yearly inspections constantly because the balljoints and bushings etc are always completely shot as they can’t handle the extra weight of the batteries and massive torque from the motors.

[EDIT] Here’s the (in Finnish) news article about it. The list of most failed electric cars for their first inspection (4 years old) in 2024 were:

• Tesla Model 3, 49% fail, most common issue: rear axle.
• Renault Zoe, 19% fail, front axle.
• Tesla Model S, 16% fail, front axle.
• Tesla Model X, 14%, N/A
• Porsche Taycan, 12%, manufacturer’s compliance plate (it’s placed so that it gets damaged really easily :p)

It’s all about the battery temperature.
Even if you are running the deck with the APU cooking at 80C and fans blasting at full tilt, the battery stays relatively cool. But stuff it in an insulated box and start charging it at 45 watts, and the battery will quickly start heating from the inside over the recommended 30-45C maximum.

3070 Ti is still a surprisingly capable card. If you compare 3060 Ti, 4060 Ti and the 5060 ti to it, they are all really close with the 3070 Ti actually being the fastest. Gone are the days where an xx60 of a new generation was vastly faster than a 70 or even 80 of the previous one.

The major difference is VRAM, 8GB is to little little for 4k gaming, but it’s still perfectly fine at 1080 or 1440p, especially with some FSR/DLSS thrown in.

Sleep mode means ram is being powered, as otherwise it will clear out, and it keeps Bluetooth and WiFi on as well for the wakeup stuff.

There’s a rather complicated tweak for allowing hibernation, that saves stuff to disk and actually shuts the deck off properly.

All hail the Gabecube.

Especially when the age of consent in half the states of the US is 16.

It’s possible it reduces the probability of things like wrongly answered stack overflow questions from being used, so it might actually work a bit.

Kinda like how with image generation, you get vastly better results by adding a negative prompt such as “low quality, jpeg artifacts, extra fingers, bad hands” etc, because the dataset from boorus actually do include a bunch of those tags and using them steers the generation to do thing that don’t have features that match them.

Too late.

Rule 34 has no exceptions.

Being years behind Firefox is kinda the whole point of PaleMoon, the user interface is based on Firefox 4-28 and the rendering engine (Goanna) was forked from Gecko back in 2016 to remove all the new stuff Mozilla kept adding to it.

AI benefits humanity in thousands of different ways, as it’s a massive field of computer science. Ever used to text to speech or speech to text system, read an OCR scanned document, played chess against a computer etc, those are all uses of artificial intelligence, just the ones that suffer from the AI effect.

This current fad of shoving LLMs into absolutely everything and pretending they are actually intelligent probably never will for the most part, unless they actually manage to create an AGI out of it. And then we all die.

It doesn’t. The website would ask for an id check, you would generate it on the processor side and give the randomized ID to the site so it could go check it’s valid and let you through. It can be used to verify an account permanently but without one, it would kinda act like a temporary 2FA code.
