Not quite sure actually, I think we end up specifying a day or implicitly consider both of them

I’ve generally seen Sunday to be the start of the week here, my current headcanon for it is that Sunday and Saturday sort of book-end on both sides of the week, hence week-end_s_ plural

That PR seems to have been closed rather than merged though, I don’t think it has reverted the change yet

Canonical seems to be based in the UK, going off of the Wikipedia page

I really appreciate the title of the article

I’d received some communication from one of the banks here, which summarised the budget. This section is relevant:

Tax holiday till 2047 to any foreign company that provides cloud services to customers globally by using data centre services from India. It will, however, need to provide services to Indian customers through an Indian reseller entity, safe harbour of 15 percent on cost in case the company providing data centre services from India is a related entity.

It feels like an incentive like any other, to make data center services (not just limited to AI) hosted here. One can probably see this in one of two ways, GDPR-like data privacy or just general surveillance. I’ve seen data privacy regulations taking focus so I’m hopeful, but time will tell

Curtsune Cappu!

Wild guess but maybe there’s some security tightening updates, possibly relating to Linux’s ptrace subsystem since that allows debugger-like access. That could be a direction to look into. Any logs that you can get for them (especially PINCE)?

Oh this has layers

Mainly Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike GO/2, cuz both of them have cosmetics with rarities obtained via what effectively amounts to lootboxes. In one sense they also have an out-of-game economy around these things where these items are traded for actual money

You can select Steam Runtime Versions in the Compatibility tab too, separate from Proton versions

I don’t know for sure though, because in theory they keep the core powered down during suspend sleep so in theory there really shouldn’t be any power draw aside from the memory modules. However you’re right that there’s some noticeable difference for some reason

Anecdotally it seems to have a similar drain rate to my laptop, around 10% a day in sleep (though I would recommend actually verifying this yourself to be sure). So if you want to conserve battery life, turning it off is the way to go

I’ve been using Kreate for a while, seems to be a fork of RiMusic

Is this…?

Oof right in the feels

I would actually bring a parallel to the device driver-firmware blob split that’s common with hardware support in Linux. While the code needed to run inference with a model is straightforward and several open source versions exist already, the model itself is a bunch of tensors whose behaviour we don’t have any visibility into. Bias is less a problem of the inference code and more an issue with the data it was trained on

And we’re all the better for it! Needs polish and development of course, but it’s a decent alternative already

I mean, leaving aside their surveillance tasks, it’s still their job to ensure national security. It’s in their best interest to keep at least themselves and their nation safe, and considering how prevalent Linux is on servers, they likely saw a net benefit this way. They even open sourced their reverse engineering toolkit Ghidra in a similar vein
