Sorry typo, it’s indeed ~/Templates (even verified to be sure but even has a specific icon), was already there, I didn’t create it. So unfortunately still does not work.

Sad but unsurprising.

I did read quite a lot on the topic, including “Ghost Work: How to Stop Silicon Valley from Building a New Global Underclass.” (2019) and saw numerous documentaries e.g. “Invisibles - Les travailleurs du clic” (2020).

What I find interesting here is that it seems the tasks go beyond dataset annotation. In a way it is still annotation (as in you take a data in, e.g. a photo, and your circle part of it to label i.e. e.g “cat”) but here it seems to be 2nd order, i.e. what are the blind spots in how this dataset is handled. It still doesn’t mean anything produced is more valuable or that the expected outcome is feasible with solely larger datasets and more compute yet maybe it does show a change in the quality of tasks to be done.

Enforcing GDPR fines would be a great start, only adding more if need be.

I feel like we could are more laws but if they are not enforced it’s pointless, maybe even worst but it gives the illusion of privacy while in reality nothing changes.

Creating a .prototype file in ~/Templates didn’t work for me on KDE Plasma version 5.27.5.

Because it’s my own filetype I added it in “File Associations” known types in text category, to open with Kate, Gvim, etc, just in case, but didn’t help.

Is something else required?

None of your requirements are distribution specific. I do all (Steam, non Steam, Kdenlive, Blender/OpenSCAD, vim/Podman, LibreOffice, Transmission) of that and I’m running Debian with an NVIDIA GPU. Consequently I can personally recommend it.

some people experience crash on linux where stable on windows.

FUD much? I’m not saying it’s not true… but like the opposite has to be true too. So without actual data to say it’s significant it’s really just not help much in any way, just creating doubt.

very few games represent the majority of gametime, and a lot of them do not run on linux.

Same, which ones? What’s your dataset?

Nice, the hinge always stressed me a bit but for GBA looks perfect.

Well my use is mostly tinkering :P but the realization that on top of being a neat little handheld it’s also a proper computer… I just can’t help myself and want to get “more” out of it. Silly habit!

ANBERNIC rg28xx and I mostly use MuOS for PortMaster to get RockBox.

In fact I’m trying to write a RockBox plugin to support Lunii stories but for now I just have some basic JSON parsing (thanks to cJSON).

What device do you have and what do you use it for?

FWIW MSN is from Microsoft so IMHO might be better to link to the original source and, if need be, remind people they can either pay for journalist content or use services like archive.is which will bypass paywalls.

Funny to read this right after finishing an Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree gaming session.

Yes, so it should. In fact I’m gaming on Linux on :

• desktop with gamepad
• desktop with VR
• handheld with SteamDeck
• handheld with MuOS or ANBERNIC

…and I don’t even think about it. I just play regarding of the game being AAA or indie, VR or “flat”. It just works.

Sure, but please we mindful that if you do that it implies there are no more non proprietary options, which is just not true (even though the constraints are different I admit).

Let’s help each other find, or even build if nothing else is available, the lesser evil ;)

Brand new example : “Skills” by Anthropic https://www.anthropic.com/news/skills even though here the audience is technical it is still a marketing term. Why? Because the entire phrasing implies agency. There is no “one” getting new skills here. It’s as if I was adding bash scripts to my ~/bin directory but instead of saying “The first script will use regex to start the appropriate script” I named my process “Theodore” and that I was “teaching” it new “abilities”. It would be literally the same thing, it would be functionally equivalent and the implement would be actually identical… but users, specifically non technical users, would assume that there is more than just branching options. They would also assume errors are just “it” in the process of “learning”.

It’s really a brilliant marketing trick, but it’s nothing more.

I’d rather use proprietary products.

Where did that come from? How about the Ender 3 or a UltiMaker or a Lite3DP Gen 2 or even a DIY one?

To be clear, I’m not saying the word itself shouldn’t be used but I bet that 99% of the time if it’s not used by someone with a degree in AI or CS it’s going to be used incorrectly.

The word “hallucination” itself is a marketing term. It’s not because it’s been frequently used in the technical literature that it is free of any problem. It’s used because it highlights a problem (namely that some of the output of LLM are not factually correct) but the very name is wrong. Hallucination implies there is someone, perceiving and with a world model, who typically via heuristics (for efficient interfaces like Donald Hoffman suggests) do so incorrectly leading to bad decision regarding the current problem to solve.

So… sure, “it” (trying not to use the term) is structural but it is simply because LLM have no notion of veracity or truth (or anything else, to be clear). They have no simulation to verify from if the output they propose (the tokens out, the sentence the user gets) is correct or not, it is solely highly probably based on their training data.

What’s your ramp up prediction. I tinkered with a Banana Pi last year but don’t know about the broader implementation and production process so I’m curious, when do you expect performance parity for say <10x price (meaning performance of RPi for less than 500e) with e.g. RPi4, RPi5, Core i9, etc?

Original article https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/10/30/tp-link-proposed-ban-commerce-department/ rather than MSN aggregator. No idea why people link to such places.

Depends on what kind of services… if it’s ESTA, visa, official documents basically, or KYC from a bank, well yes, if there is no better way (e.g. cryptographic signature via physical ID card with chip) then I’ll do it.

If it’s for a random Website they can fuck off.

Well you already have a desktop so the added value is that once you get the content out of the disk you don’t need them anymore. You can just store them if you want but not need to play with the physical thing, neither DVD nor player.

I mean if you particularly enjoy very specific things, e.g. bonus, or the physical feeling of the media (why not, harder to justify than with e.g. vinyl but still fine) you can still do that but otherwise the physical media isn’t actually needed anymore.

Also if you don’t care for miniDLNA and streaming over your own LAN (or even online if you have your own VPN) copy the resulting files on a 5€ USB stick on plug on your TV, works just as well. If your TV isn’t “smart”, which is perfectly fine, then use a RPi and do the same.
