  • Shes all switched to linux, and if her trial goes well and i don’t end up tearing my hair out doing tech support. I may switch over as well, probably a different distro though.
    That’s an interesting approach, I usually experiment on stuff myself before making others switch, makes me more comfortable on the stuff and more confident that I’ll be able to solve their issues.

    Yeah, that was the standout for me too. You’re on winblows and might switch later, but are going to support her, way to treat the gf as a lab rat…


  • While I want both to be true, he’s betting against governments wanting actionable intelligence on each and every citizen (although the moat there is shallow, easy for someone else to start a race to the bottom) and massively parallel processors becoming less valuable (remember how smoothly they switched from crypto to AI?, remember when you could buy a gaming video card for less than the rest of your computer, likely another bubble in the wings) plus the whole circular investment is propping up the entire US economy situation, the epitome of too big to fail (without the whole US economy going tits up, which given the current situations is distinctly possible). Actually 8:2 sounds ballpark, but I doubt he’s not hedging his bets.






  • Sure, I was doing genome compression for tree comparison in the late 90s for in memory analysis and the speed up was very significant. The idea of a universal specification format and a universal decoder is IMO bloody brilliant, hell with a bit of training I’d be unsurprised if you could point a LLM at a format and get 90+% of the way there with the specification for most simple-ish formats, and probably have a manual crack at simple relational databases. Potentially you could also switch out huffman for encryption for efficient zero-knowledge proofs as well.
