That’s old data, there’s been a correction.

Sounds like a clear failure to have a reasonable API. I’d think apps shouldn’t have to guess based on aspect ratio, they should be told in some way which layout to use.

Yeah, but the point of the post is to highlight bias - and if there’s one thing an LLM has, it’s bias. I mean that literally: considering their probabilistic nature, it could be said that the only thing an LLM consists of is bias to certain words given other words. (The weights, to oversimplify)

That typo reverses the meaning by being one letter off.
(It had said “diy cooking paint”)

I’d say very slightly past that. Quantum computers do work right now, but it’s the same way the Wright brothers’ first plane worked: as proof of concept and research, but not better than existing tech for solving any problems.

And it’s not that they fail to meet expectations of the designers, as far as I know they do exactly what they are built to do as well as predicted with the tech we have. Just the press is expecting more.

This book also basically predicted cryptocurrency (but not the blockchain stuff)

It’s ours alright.

Software and hardware support definitely counts.

I would also guess that probably a lot of Microsoft enterprise stuff like active directory group policies likely aren’t supported well, but I don’t have enough knowledge to back that up.

What if we did just that.

I want to use GNOME as what it does works great, but it lacks a whole list of features I use.

Watch the list actually get longer over time.

Sure they are, but system apps are still installed in the immutable space initially, which is the important thing, that updates to it can’t go there.

I don’t know how desktop immutable systems deal with that.

Another prominent example is Android. Sure system apps can be upgraded individually – by storing the new version in a restricted part of the ‘user’ partition – but otherwise the system files are strictly read only until a new ‘image’ is ‘flashed’ to it by the update system or a power user with debugging tools. In the past, a common use of root capabilities was to remount the system partition as read/write and then change files on it directly. It’s more complex now.

That’s also why system apps can be rolled back to the stock version, and can sometimes be disabled, but can’t be directly uninstalled like user apps. Only the updated version on the user partition (if there is one) can be removed.

What is it? Even the article does not say

Wayland is still too broken for him?

I think I now know where I’ll order my next computer from.

Not that it affects me, but is there already a ksetwacom planned?

It does feel that way, but…

“Linux 4.20 was released on Sun, 23 Dec 2018”

About 5.5 years.

So now we can have an Android port of the “I am rich” app.

Nanotubes are still a thing, but most of the hype now seems to be around ‘buckysheets’ (graphene)

As far as switching out Explorer goes, it’s not actually the window manager, that’s Aero since Vista - but it is the shell on desktop editions of Windows… But not all editions. Some server editions (“core”) and some specialized other ones have the shell set to literally just a cmd window. There’s no taskbar, no Start, no desktop icons, etc. There’s a cmd window that if closed triggers a reboot. Of course other things can be started from it.

I’m not sure if there’s a setting that could be changed to make a desktop edition behave like that or vice versa.
