Suggesting that OpenAI is "the United States" is fascism, by the way.

Nobody asked you to show your meth.

My ex-boss got an $83,000 PPP "loan" and bought a travel trailer with it.

I don't think that's true at all. I think the capitalist economies are simply much better at exporting the oppression, because they can take part in globalism. Meanwhile there's still plenty of domestic oppression to go with it. We still have literal slave labor in this country; the 13th amendment permits slavery as punishment for commission of a crime, so laws which coerce prisoners into laboring for little to no money (and certainly less than minimum wage) are fully legal.

Average worker productivity has multiplied manifold and the cost of food production has sunk since we developed automation, but somehow we're supposed to believe that it's become onerous for our society to feed people when we work more hours than medieval serfs? The math doesn't math there.

No, nor do I plan to, have fun with that shit. I just want the option to have it repaired with any available part which will fit if I become dependent on it, and without having to worry about whether downgrading the bootloader will cause me some other problem. I've had a couple of raspis and had a bootloader update cause me issues with one of them.

False. They want everyone to be free. Having restrictions on what you can do with the software which you "purchased" or with the software embedded in or required to use the hardware which you really did purchase is the opposite of that. The FSF isn't against charging for services related to software, including its development. The GPL doesn't prevent that, it only makes rent seeking more difficult.

Anything you are doing which involves shoveling data is faster with 64 bit because more data is shoveled per shovelful, plus you don't have register starvation. When amd64 was new it was typical that doing absolutely nothing but recompiling the same code as 64 bit could produce a 10-15% speedup in CPU-limited software. This is why the X32 ABI is so interesting for smaller programs which don't require large address spaces but could still benefit from the overhead reduction from processing 64 bit data types, and the fact that amd64 has genuinely general purpose registers— and a lot more of them than x86.

In the real world, ideally you hand video encoding off to something that's better at it than the CPU. Mainstream video processing software has been GPU accelerated for a long time now, and GPUs also handle the video encoding. For example with Nvidia, NVENC uses DMA and so does your storage device, so in a fully accelerated encode path there's no CPU instructions involved in any of the actual encoding parts and it's mostly directing traffic, unless there's encryption involved. Even the limited number of GPU cores in a typical embedded GPU can give good video encoding performance.

raspi or similar still makes sense if power consumption is a significant consideration. If you are running from battery you will want to look at ARM. If space is a serious consideration, likewise, like if it absolutely has to be very small. For all other types of install you're definitely better off with a used NUC. If you want some GPIO you can get it with a $3 nano.

Sure, for all intensive purposes.

By "reset" you mean "downgrade"

It's OK, you can just say you don't understand the argument.

You sound like an idiot. (checks username) Yep!

No, I'm complaining, you're whining.

Why are you making shit up to be mad about related to shit that I'm mad about? Are you one of the ACs on my dick constantly every day? Just can't get enough of following me around and crying about my comments?

That said, it's not a real car and anyone who thinks it is has had a shark-jumping moment with their brain. And then the shark ate it.

It was a mockup that looked like a car, not a car.

At very best the LLM output is not actually copyrightable but it is being distributed as if it were GPLv2 and it's fraudulent to distribute on that basis. At worst it actually carries copyright from contributors and it will have to be removed and replaced later. Any project allowing AI code contributions is creating a minefield. It is just an absolute dogshit plan to accept them for this reason alone and I absolutely hate that this is happening to Linux.

It would help if the Slashdolt editors knew what words meant at all. It's not universal if everyone doesn't get it. Just because the Nazi-boosting NYT used the word in their article, that doesn't mean that Nazi-protecting Slashdot has to use the same word in the summary.
