Kernel panics are almost entirely about bad RAM on all systems today. But last time I was stuck on Windows, about 2017ish, I was suffering constantly from blue screens in a way that never triggered on linux.

The real unanswered question is how much of this is the panel itself and how much is baked into Windows.

Saving battery is nice, but I'm not leaving Linux for that misery any time soon


But that $20/month is still heavily subsidised. You have to compare to the API costs, not the direct subscription.

Something something constitutional (ish*) rights say you can't do this.

Chat Control 1 says, eh do it anyway if you want on a voluntary and temporary basis until the Courts get around to saying no.

Chat Control 2 says you have to. Until the courts finally get around to striking it down in 15 years.


This in standard in europe. Most places don't vote for their PM or President either, they're just the leader of the largest party in parliament and chosen by parliament

Wait but the commission is assembled by the PMs / presidents… so it’s elected by people who were elected by people who elect.

Generally a lot of people do vote for the PM i.e. chose the party to vote for based on it's leader(s)

Oh, if unelected officials is the standard, that's fine then. Move along.

The one who uses foul language and personal attacks is the one who always loose. Even if they don't see it themselves, others do notice.

No, but I vote for the Prime Minister. I don't vote for the European Commissioner or the President of the Council.

What's idiotic is presenting these are the same.


You don't vote for Prime Minister. Either Parliament votes for a Prime Minister or your country messed up the translation of President.

You don't de jure vote for a Prime Minister but you de facto do so. Please, don't pretend to be obtuse.

I pay just as much attention to the prime ministerial candidate as the Commission presidential candidate. Both are blatantly obvious per party.

If what you really mean is that you don't follow EU level politics, just say so.


Ew. Cool demo, what idiot thought it was ok to have a half second cooldown between inputs? If I hit up three times I should move up three steps, not two steps because I pressed too quickly.

No?

That's literally the thing they suggested to move away from. That is just an issue when using tools designed for us.

Make them write in formal verification languages and we only have to understand the types.

To be clear, I don't think this is a good idea, at least not yet, but we do not have to always understand the code.


You could probably do it in a few days, C is not that hard to compile

And a few seconds more to write a stub `stdio.h` that will allow to compile at least helloworld.

Writing a compiler that can compile the Linux kernel is a bit more involved.


Claude built an optimizer as well. (Not a great one) that takes a lot more. Yes I could lively brute force a C compiler that works much faster.

Right, and that was a design goal of C language... to be close to the machine.

Yes, and I was responding to

Famous last words.

Where I live, in the EU, we just have signs and the parking meters have been gone for several years

I found one parking lot in the EU where there were only signs, and the signs not only pointed to an Android+iOS only, attestation-protected app, rather than a website, but an app that, at least on Android, was region-locked to only allow installations from people with the local country set correctly in Play Store (something completely different than the country Google sets for your account, for some reason).

It was a public lot, and the only lot in the town, as far as we could tell.


I don't think Windows does this, but Ollama does


It's the drivers but it was a relatively recent addition, think it was added when either the 30xx or 40xx series shipped and the lower cards had pitiful VRAM so they enabled it by default so they'd work with all games.

Most people who know it does this turns it off because it kicks in too early so if you have 24GB it'll offload to RAM and tank your inference speed when you hit around 22GB use.

Nicely linked!


NVIDIA's GPU drivers on windows 100% do this

The Nvidia driver has used system memory fallback for a couple of years now.
