Yesterday I’ve spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?

As a mechanical engineer - there is no serviceable free CAD. The only thing you can hope for is Linux compatibility - and you have 100% of that with Onshape only (cloud based).

I remember that in pre-school in around 1990 we made clay ashtrays for father’s day. My father did not smoke but they told me to make one anyway…

I skimmed the paper. As you said, they made a ML model that takes images and traditional risk factors (TCv8).

I would love to see comparison against risk factors + human image evaluation.

Nevertheless, this is the AI that will really help humanity.

Nothing is happening in Norway. Source: I live in Norway.

I’ve met only a handful people that use Linux on their desktop, plus some developers that use it at work.

Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won’t see any issue with it.

I guess they will anwser such calls with AI to get a summary anyway…

Great points overall. I guess previous generations thought that a hand-written letter cant be replaced by a digital one, yet here we are.

Let’s say that there is a single player MMO where all the other players are played by AI, but it is done so well that you can’t really see the difference from real-human MMO players.

Would you play this? I would not. The fact that there is a human on the other side is important, even though it does not make any practical difference. Same with birthday wishes - that’s way Facebook did not automate “Happy birthday!” even though it could.

Would you upload your personal data and voice to Open AI for it to make a a birthday wishes call to your mom? So convinient! She won’t know the difference, and you get a 5 bulletpoint summary afterwards! Such a hellscape.

In my previous job I ran my main laptop with Linux. Pain points:

• MS Teams liked to crash on screen sharing
• o365 email and calendar works best on Evolution, but still is not perfect
• meeting rooms often had special usb dongle to connect to the screen. That never worked on Linux.

Overall it was glorious.

Because inequality creates incentive. The bigger the difference between the bulk of the society and the top percentages of earners the more people are willing to risk to reach the top. That’s why there are more successful startups in the US than in Scandinavia.

It’s a global rat race and the US is “winning”.

That’s the thing - there is no option to update BIOS on Linux then.

You must install Windows or maybe use one of those unofficial Windows Live USB images.
