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.

Adding AI is like adding a lane to a crowded street. It will move more cars per hour, but the street will soon have the same traffic jams as before.

Workers will be as busy and as overworked as before.

Plus, even though people theoretically do more, it is not really more. For example Digital Signage - before generative AI you would put in some text, a clipart or a stock image and call it a day. Now one may be expected to polish the text with AI plus generate a more fitting image. Does it make a nicer Digital Signage? Sure. Will productivity actually go up? I doubt it.

Yeah, i am retiring my XPS 13 only due to it having 8GB of RAM. It is quite an old model with i7-8550U - the speed is still perfectly fine as my daily driver, but I filled the memory to the brim way too often.

The fund owns 1.5% og the world traded stocks. Madness.

This is the only correct answer. Onshape is a fantastict, feature complete CAD system that I would be happy to use for any commercial project regardless of size and stakes. Love it.

It is about installing .deb that you manually downloaded from somewhere. You can’t install them by double clicking on them, you have to install from command line.

Wayland can do mixed DPI multi-monitor setup, and Onshape is a fantastic CAD system - it runs in browser and works perfectly on Linux. I used exactly that setup profesionally for nearly 2 years.

I used to use Tubleweed, but I tested Fedora Silverblue to check out what the immutability is all about and never returned. I think I will switch to OpenSuse Aeon, but for now it does not support Full Disk Encryption which is a deal breaker for me.

It does not explain Month to Month swings between 3.4% and 16%.

I honestly doubt that every 10th user in Norway is using Linux.

I assume data comes from statcounter.com. I looked at Norway there.

Browser market share: Firefox June 2023: 2.65%. September 2023: 36.27%!!! December 2.46%.

This does not compute. Similarly for Desktop OS. Linux in Norway has 3.41% is September, but 16.99% in November?

Starlabs StarLite is just around the corner, they should be shipping first units very soon. Passively cooled, Intel N200, 16GB RAM, 3k screen.

One year ago I treated how long it takes to get Gimp to install on various distros in distrobox:

Results:

zypper@Tumbleweed: 3 minutes, 22 seconds

apt@Ubuntu 22.04: 1 minute 26 seconds

dnf@Fedora: 1 minute 2 seconds

pacman@arch: 0 minutes 21 seconds

But that’s just installation speed. It simply shows that there are quite big differences depending on use case.

They are very difficult to break. Even if there is a problematic update that would normalny kill your install you can just roll back too the previous working version.

Great for systems that you need to ‘simply work’.

Consider OpenSuse Aeon if you want to dip into immutable systems.

I’ll parrot the others. I have a Windows PC issued by my employer. The only way to have some Linux is WSL. I use it to sync notes with server at home, python stuff, and w3m when I want to Google something without looking conspicuous in the office.

General Linux tools also help. I needed to make video half the speed - one liner ffmpeg solves it in a jiffy. On Windows I need to install some hive software.

If the goal is to have the most up to date bleeding edge software, but have it on a critical machine, consider immutable distro like Fedora Silverblue or OpenSuse Aeon. Especially the latter will be just days behind Arch, and if an update breaks something you just roll back and try updating again in a week.

I used Silverblue as my main work system and this saved me a few times.
