Gentoo belongs to the list, because it will be strongly affected if KDE will become more dependent of systemd in the future.
Gentoo attempts to provide independent choices, e.g. one should be able to use KDE with either systemd or OpenRC, or XFCE with either systemd or OpenRC, whichever the user wishes.
If KDE will become dependent on systemd, then the possibility of free choice will be removed from the Gentoo users, so they will have to decide which is more important for them. As a Gentoo user, using OpenRC instead of systemd is certainly more important for me than using KDE instead of another desktop environment, so KDE will become unusable for me.
Currently Gentoo has good support for systemd. If KDE has a hard dependency on systemd, then it won’t (as the author wrote) “cut out including everything from Gentoo …” because Gentoo does maintain systemd stage3s.
But I actually see what you mean about the degradation of options. Gentoo sort of supports 32 bit, but most modern packages are not tested against these systems anymore and receive little attention. That caused me more work recently getting one of my old machines set up.
I mean, there is so much that maintainers can do, and portage specializes in helping you make a “niche” system that no-one else bothers to create. I’m not sure if that means that the spirit of Gentoo fundamentally changes as a distribution. I think what makes Gentoo Gentoo is that it is un-opinionated.
Honestly, I see the list as a category problem, because Gentoo is kind of a meta-distribution.
A friend decided to smoke the DMT one day. At some point, he started to feel and consider what it was like to be an llm (visually he described it kind of like "cellular automata on a high-dimensional cloth"). Being an llm meant that his perception of time wasn't real, or align, or whatever as he can be turned on and off (that thought caused him more discomfort than questioning his identity as a chatbot).
When coding agents are unavailable I just continue to code myself or focus on architecture specification / feature descriptions. This really helps me retain my skills, though there is some "skew" (I'm not sure how to describe it, it's a feeling). Making instructions to LLMs to me is pretty similar to doing the basic software architecture and specification work that a lot of people tend to skip (now, there's not choice and it's directly useful). When you skip specification for a sufficiently complex project, you likely introduce footguns along the way that slows down development significantly. So what would one expect when they run a bunch of agents based on a single sentence prompt?!
Like the architecture work and making good quality specs, working on code has a guiding effect on the coding agents. So in a way, it also benefits to clarify items that may be more ambiguous in the spec. If I write some of the code myself, it will make fewer assumptions about my intent when it touches it (especially when I didn't specify them in the architecture or if they are difficult to articulate in natural language).
In small iterations, the agent checks back for each task. Because I spend a lot of time on architecture, I already have a model in my mind of how small code snippets and feature will connect.
Maybe my comfort with reviewing AI code comes form spending a large chunk of my life reverse engineering human code, to understand it to the extent that complex bugs and vulnerabilities emerge. I've spent a lot of time with different styles of code writing from awful to "this programmer must have a permanent line to god to do this so elegantly". The models is train on that, so I have a little cluster of neurons in my head that's shaped closely enough to follow the model's shape.
- OpenAI botches the job. Article pieces are written about the fact that kids are still able to use it.
- Sam “responds” by making it an option to use worldcoin orbs to authenticate. You buy it at the “register me” page, but you will get an equivalent amount of worldcoin at current rate. Afterwards the orb is like a badge that you can put on your shelf to show to your guests.
“We heard you loud and clear. That’s why we worked hard to provide worldcoin integration, so that users won’t have to verify their age through annoying, insecure and fallible means.” (an example marketing blurb would say, implicitly referring to their current identity servicer Persona which people find annoying).
- After enough orb hardware is out in the public, and after the api gains traction for 3rd parties to use it, send a notice that x months for now, login without the orb will not be possible. “Here is a link to the shop page to get your orb, available in colors silver and black.”
That flag won't stick. Flagging someone just because you disagree with them is abusing the system. It adds noise and more work for the moderators to actually remove spam and troll comments. There's a downvote button. If you flagged it, then should be obvious to you after a decade of having an account on this site. If you still don't get it, then I can only assume that you're trolling (good luck with that). Also, fix your browser or whatever you use to read hn. Good day. lol
You tried to make a point that flagging was an appropriate response. Obviously I made it a conditional whether you did it or not, because I can't know. But you obviously did not understand that flagging is a tool for moderation, not a tool to prove a point.
Learn to consider whether you are mis-intepreting the person or there's something you don't know and ask questions. You literally wrote that you had an issue reading the whole comment, and dialogue would have resolved that specific misunderstanding instead of your antagonistic comment. I literally wrote "in jest" for a reason and you conveniently continue to miss it even after resolving your rendering issues. Jokes and tongue in cheeks are ways to open a conversation, not to invite lazy or stupid comments.
It's not my problem that you can't do these simple things like asking questions or reading/listening closely. And when you decide to be antagonistic about it, then you're just digging yourself into a hole (your loss and I don't feel sorry for you). Still, I don't think you understand what I was saying, but that doesn't matter because you seem to only care to vent.
You haven't contributed anything interesting to this thread. Just stop. You want to argue? Use your head, for your own sake.
Yes, it's night and day. From purchase to lounge to flight and even airport terminal, it's a completely different experience. American Airlines is not only bad overall but it's so f dirty everywhere.
And also every time there's a report, they rank this way
I always take my suitcase and my backpack to the airplane and then I check my suitcase at the gate. Three reasons. First, there are no baggage fees at the gate. Second, I can roll backpack on my suitcase. Third, I get to board early for "helping out". Why wouldn't you do this?
I do only check it if someone else in my party is already checking bags but that turns out to be most of the time for me.
Note: I'm actually replying to a reply that's too deep.
Normally gate checking is the better option, but you can't do it when flying with stuff that can't go into a carryon: bottles of wine, firearms, and so on.
The advantage of American, anecdotally, is most of their planes in the routes I've been flying have the sideway bag bins that don't fill up, so I don't have to play the standing-in-line and boarding group game.
Gotcha, good to keep in mind. I can't /stand/ dirty fart tubes (though, recently I used Delta and it was fine), but otherwise haven't flown much in the past 5 years.
If you want to go the extra mile (no pun intended), when flying out of an airport that is a major airline hub, avoid that airline at all costs i.e. don't fly United out of EWR, American out of MIA, etc. They tend to be ridiculously busy and crowded.
I remember a level where I went through a portal that led to the surface of a miniature moon, encased in a glass case inside the room that I entered through. Inside the case and miniaturized, I watched the enemy aliens scatter around to look for me.
They found me and barged through that portal, so I went back out and smashed them through the case. Alien pussies on the wall, the whole artwork and design of the game was utterly unfettered.
The ending made me feel so… powerful. David and Goliath -core, heavy metal native american going through the spirit land to save the human race from aliens. I didn’t know it was delisted. What a shame.
The scene with the planetoid hovering in the middle of a room was made me remember the game despite playing it more than 15 years ago. It was so ahead of its time!
I don’t know, but your question reminds me of this paper which seems to address it on a lower level: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974
“Planting Undetectable Backdoors in Machine Learning Models”
“ … On the surface, such a backdoored classifier behaves normally, but in reality, the learner maintains a mechanism for changing the classification of any input, with only a slight perturbation. Importantly, without the appropriate "backdoor key", the mechanism is hidden and cannot be detected by any computationally-bounded observer. We demonstrate two frameworks for planting undetectable backdoors, with incomparable guarantees. …”
