Just use the bcache kernel module...that is the caching code that is under bcachefs. Bcache works with any filesystem that you want to do read/write caching for. Bcache is actively maintained by a group of people at this point, instead of just under 1 person for bcachefs, which makes becoming dependent upon bcachefs very dangerous.

There is also zfs, which is also a great option.

Comment Now the companies can try everything (Score 3, Insightful) 97

Companies can have AI create models of every possible persuasion - straight, queer, black, white, brown, blonde, red, brunette, huge boobs, small boobs, and 100 lbs. or 500 lbs. Let them do it, see what people actually want to see and what sells.

Which is going to be scary when they have to finally admit what people actually want to see.

A group of runner women wanting to make sure that they're not fucking a dude that 10 other women are fucking.

Women have rosters of men. But it's not okay for men to do the same thing. If a woman decides that you're good enough to go out with, she is purely entitled to you and your time, affection, and loyalty. Change your mind? She will then destroy you in the court of public opinion.

So glad to have retired from dating years ago.

Comment From the 'investing-in-the-future-department...' (Score 3, Insightful) 37

Really? Like having every moment of your life recorded, tracked, sold, monetized, and abused in any way possible is somehow the future?

This has been tried before. Microsoft tried similar with some wearable pendant years ago. It was a flop, and for good reason. The only reason to do this is to finally create the panopticon that these giant companies have always wanted, where a stream of literally every detail of your life is always coming in for them to abuse and monetize.

Good lord, kill this shit with fire.

While I'm generally ok with banning new sales of polluting vehicles, while thinking it it is not needed, I think forcing people to give up their existing vehicles is unreasonable. If you want people to scrap their polluting vehicles give them a positive incentive instead, such as buying up and scrapping the worst polluter first, giving people a leg up to move to cleaner vehicle.

Yeah, this is great when you're financially able to do so. Great for you that you can do those things. But seriously, the people that have a classic vehicle or a car that is rarely driven shouldn't be forced to give up assets just because some environmentalist says so. I don't know what country you're from, but here in the USA, I would hope such plans would be met with widespread outrage. Here in the states, there are millions of vehicles that are over 20 years old, some approaching 50-60 years old. They're toys/antiques/weekend car show/project cars and they're doing absolutely nothing to harm the environment.

This plan was batshit insane from the get go.

Comment Re:OpenAI has reached the MSFT "Embrace" stage. (Score 2) 19

OpenAI actually needs to make money, though. And from how OpenAI conducts their business, they're not on any path to profitability. The resources they get from MS are discounted as it is. MS is likely losing money on selling them compute.

If anything, MS buying OpenAI would require that they start charging actual market price for AI 'services', so MS can make money off of it. In which case, Pro ChatGPT may cost $1k a month.

Nothing like handing your kids right over the corps early on. But since it means growth for AI companies, it's obviously great and we should all be on board with it!

Your kids only have a short span of time when they're growing up to not be turned into brain-damaged lunatics from feeding nonsense into their heads. This is a wet dream for the psychopaths at the top of AI companies.

Comment Change is Scary (Score 1) 35

According to the story, the only group that appeared to actually like this new UI were Gen Z. For everyone else, "Yes, change is scary". Apparently, that's how you deal with people that don't want a device that they may have paid 4-figures for that now looks like a child's toy.

Why is tech change always forced on people? Is there a cultural issue where having something that works and does what someone wants is now something that has to be changed?
