What I am saying is that it should not be up to a website company to decide whether something is legal or not. In all other businesses this has always been related to a judge deciding whether something was legal or not. A newspaper is something related, in which case the editor has some responsibility if he lets something clearly illegal slip, however the responsibility falls on the journalist and not on the newspaper itself.

Frankly, I do not want social media - which is currently the main source of information for many and likely most people - to be justified in deciding what should be allowed and what should not. If someone uses such platforms to do something illegal, there are indeed legal methodologies to deal with that.

I used to have bunch of key maps, now it’s just: tap it to pull up the start menu and type software I want to open, and meta + space to change language input on my keyboard.

I guess pretty much it.

Whether they are responsible for what gets posted is exactly the discussion point. There are different ideas on this. Different countries and different people have different opinions on this point.

Generally, website are not really in favor of this idea - and it’s not only big tech I’m talking about.

My personal opinion is I don’t really like this idea. Having the websites responsible of what gets posted means the websites necessarily have to do some censoring. I’m not necessarily against censoring, but I don’t like the idea it is a large private company deciding what to censor. I’d much rather have the government decide and impose the ban on companies.

Moreover, forcing websites to censor things leads to a very centralised internet. The random guy setting up a forum can not afford to patrol that well how website, while big companies indeed can have teams of people doing just that.

Chiming in for something unrelated. Fortran is actually pretty cool and if you need to do a lot of number crunching for scientific calculations starting a project in Fortran is not that bad. I started working on Fortran04 and back then I really couldn’t see any advantage of c++ if we’re talking computations. Now with Fortran23 we’re talking about quite a modern language.

I mean, if you’re considering Fortran for a project your only other likely choice is c++, and I tell you Fortran feels much smoother and easy to work with if you have to do calculations. I guess if you don’t worry about it being new you could consider Julia, but for many applications Fortran still has its well deserved spot.

Bunch of things. Indeed Nvidia drivers happened frequently, but that is something you generally expect and got used to fixing and as such it’s no big deal. I remember much pain with Xorg, but also had problems with alsa, network manager, keychain and several other core systems.

Also, try losing power during some pacman transaction and have fun figuring out what exactly is preventing your system from booting up.

When using arch I remember it often happened that an update would mess up something. Not all the time, but every few months it would happen that I’d have to spend a morning after the update figuring out what got messed up.

I have been using Debian a lot in the past and now I’m on fedora. Reason I’m on fedora: got a new laptop and figured I could go Debian or try out another distribution. I installed it and didn’t have any problems, a couple times I had to submit bug reports to the packaging team but not much else. It works and I never felt like I need some other system. All feels pretty similar to Debian after all, not much difference. One thing I favor over Debian is that packages are a bit more up to date: in Debian I’d often find myself backporting stuff from Sid. In fedora I don’t really need workarounds to get new features in stable software. But still, that’s just a minor annoyance. But still, I use a lot of very specific software in development; for normal use I really don’t see much difference between the two.

PIs often have no idea what people in their group are actually working on. They may at times just give a general direction of what research should be about. It is common for people doing research for a company to list the CTO or whatever relevant figure as author. The fact that you do not do it reveals nothing regarding the fact that this is quite common practice.

He paid for the research. While I do agree, this is very common in academia. The PI will most often be last author even if he didn’t read the paper.

Why would that be? He’s probably just the last author of a bunch of valid articles published by his employees. He probably did not take part in the ideation or writing of those articles, but that is quite common in academia as well.

You really think he personally conducts job interviews or that he could pass down the clear message not to employ transexual people? It has over 1200 employees, it is likely some of them are transexuals.

There are many music players, none of them is extremely good. I like Sayonara.

I remember using mint at some point. That was indeed a long time ago. Didn’t know about the problems.

Not really sure why you want to switch from mint. Mint is a nice distribution to test out Linux because it comes with many things readily installed and with decent defaults. Since you’re worried about compatibility with several peripherals I’d stick with that.

If you want to switch to something else to learn something new, then pretty much any other distribution is fine. Given enough customisation every distribution is just the same as any other. The only real difference is the repository updates schedule.

I imagine if this ever becomes a problem, they can just set th and the thorn to the same token in the LLM and it will then make no difference at all which is which.

If this ever becomes a problem in training the solution is extremely easy.

You not working?

AWS down

Oh ok, don’t worry

Carp for best results, may be substituted with salmon or tuna but do not expect the same quality.

I am convinced editors got the joke and now shuffle reviewers around just so that the worst one is reviewer 2.

Anything that involves statistical mechanics is just black magic. There should be a Nobel prize just for people who are able to wrap their mind around it.
