You think that exists in the UK? I doubt. You definitely don’t get anything of that sort in the EU. A law is a law.

Amazing. there will be one car manufacturer with this garbage and the rest of them won’t be allowed to use this parented technology

Some people on lemmy really only have on topic.

ITT: a collective beating up of the OP.

btw, OP, I pirated like half a terabyte of FLACs (and when not available mp3s) back in my days. And also never heard of this term. Sounds like you’re just a bad pirate.

Oh gosh, look, an AI believer.

No, LLM will not lead to AGI. But even if they did, applying existing tech to a new problem only to fail cuz you’re dumb at estimating the complexity does not, in fact, improve the underlying technology.

To paraphrase in a historical context: no matter how many people run around with shovels digging the ground for something, it will never lead to an invention of the excavator.

A bunch of people fine-tuning an off-the-shelf model on a proprietary task only to fail horrendously will never lead to any progress, let alone AGI.

So, nobody is trying AGI.

If all those people would actually collectively work on a large-scale research project, we’d see humanity advance. But that’s exactly my point.

Yeah, the brightest minds instead of building useful tech to fight climate change, spend their life building vanity AI projects. Computational resources instead of folding proteins or whatever are wasted on some gradient descent of some useless model.

All while working class wages are stagnant. And so your best career advice is to go get a random tech degree so you could also work on vanity stuff and make money.

This is cryptocurrency equivalent. It’s worse than CEOs buying yachts. The latter actually leads to some innovation.

Yeah, you need uMatrix. although it can be tricky to use.

OP listened to some trolls and unironically picked Gentoo as their first distro.

You can theoretically learn it is not the point. Your point was “I can learn how to code up a website in a week, and my degree wastes 4 years”. No, it doesn’t.

Trust me, if you wanna learn German by being airdropped into the country with a dictionary, you’ll have a very very bad time compared to what Goethe Institute teaches.

Because in order to properly speak the language you need to know the grammar. And you will almost certainly not ever grasp it properly on your own without guidance by an experienced educator. Germany is full of those people who after decades of living there keep making awful grammatical mistakes. While people who went to Goethe Institute usually don’t.

Same for people who learn JavaScript from a tutorial and suddenly they’re a web dev, but understand nothing about algorithms complexity and so the whole fuckin internet is so slow it hurts.

Precisely because of that attitude of yours.

It takes a day to learn how to train an AI model in python. It takes a PhD to understand what you’re doing.

Please, teach me in a week how to write my own compiler and under what conditions re-compilation converges.

Sorry, I don’t know what’s a for loop or what’s a set, I only know how to do 2+2 in excel.

Go.

Your immutable distro will not be tailored to your hardware by a team of qualified and paid engineers. I’m not entirely sure why the heck do you think immutability is the differentiating factor here.

You’re like 20y late with this joke. MS runs their servers on linux nowdays.

They already have WSL and their own Linux distro.

Give them another 5 years and they’ll have rewritten their core to sit on top of unix and will have become a simple commercial linux distro. When buying a windows laptop you will be able to click through 5 yes/no promts, unlock the terminal and yum -S gnome-desktop to break free. No dual boot needed.

You know what’s the worst part? M$ will be the biggest contributor to the kernel. And that’s how linux will die.

yep, a tiny boot error and suddenly you need to punch commands into initramfs. good luck with that headlessly.

nice, thanks to you I have now educated myself: http://run-a-train.urbanup.com/77653

Meh. I’d say we tie him to a post and burn the heretic.

this is a meta joke based on this video https://youtu.be/AdygBbbEnco
