We already do - and play it with them on our family creative and survival servers.

I just want to buy home automation gadgets that don't need a bloody cloud account to work.

I regret ever giving my kids access to Roblox. They haven't had any bad interactions as far as I know but the content mill of poor knock offs is just depressing. They learnt the highlights of Squid Game from "games" that went viral on the platform.

My youngest wants to graduate to Fortnite and hyper-monetisation aside I've agreed they can have it on the family playstation if they drop Roblox.

So the entire article basically comes down to democracy is messy and with PR you can't necessarily predict who you are going to get in coalitions.

I think car automation peaked at adaptive cruise control. It's a simple tractable problem that's generally well confined and improves the drivers ability to concentrate on other road risks.

For portability Vulkan is the way (it also gets you GPU compute for free without needing vendor libraries). That said the ruttabaga encapsulation is useful for things like Wayland over virtio-gpu which is useful for some use cases.

I should note for even closer to native performance you want virtio-gpu with native context. Patches for that are currently being reviewed on the mailing list: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20241024233355.136867-1-dmitry.osipenko@collabora.com/

It depends what they want to do. They can fork and take on the burden of maintaining the whole tree in which case good luck with that, linux is too much of a fire hose to enable a 3rd party to assemble something similar making different choices about what they merge. Otherwise they can maintain a re-based fork that tracks the Torvalds tree and then congratulations you've just invented a feature tree that can do contribution with extra steps.

I don't think algorithms themselves are to blame but what they are tuned for. While engagement/eyeball hours for the adserver is the prime metric the quality of experience will be subservient to it. If the algorithms could better measure your mood and stimulation levels and maximise for that the effect would be less toxic. Ideally if it realised you were just mindlessly consuming it could suggest maybe you've done enough today and to try something else. But that I fear that is not something the owners of the various ecosystems want.

He has certainly been weirdly selective in the data he quotes while trying not to come across as complete loon.

So this is like extending mastodon replies into your blog post, but with more syndication options?

I met a man who's focus was on making ASIC fabrication accessible to students and hobbyists. The audacity of the ambition made me smile and the fact they have succeeded using an open source workflow made me happy.

 

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.

 
 

Are there any good recommendations for water control valves? I want to control a automatic watering system and need something to attach to the garden tap. Open firmware would be a bonus.

 

I found this post interesting for my layman's understanding of LLMs and some of the underlying architecture choices that are made.

 

I wrote this as a layman's primer to the basics of LLMs and other generative AI. I'm still early on in my journey but hopefully it helps explain things to other newcomers even if it glosses over the details.

 

They covered a number of topics but for me the most terrifying was the examples of deep fakery that had already been used in elections.

I wanted to ask the community if they had had any experience with deep fake media online? If so did you notice or did your need to be told it was? How much effort do you take to verify things you see online?
