quoting me and saying “don’t you see?” is not exactly demonstrating reading comprehension.
if you want to go on a crusade against CLIs, feel free, but leave me out. i think they’re great.
the comparison i replied to was whether it was easier to migrate to Linux vs setting up a local account, and any user is going to spend much more time migrating than running a single command.
I am well aware. avoiding all that bullshit is exactly why I continue to use Windows and would never advocate Linux blindly for desktop use.
sure, because the comment i was replying to talked about local accounts, and that’s how you do that on some editions of Windows 11.
oh, so when the Linux fanboys come out and say “you should switch to Linux, it’s easy!” they actually mean learn the decades long history of countless distributions, fork infighting, and an untold amount of software and hardware compatibility baggage, THEN switching will be easy! silly of me to make such a mistake!
you seem to have misinterpreted or misread this comment thread, sorry.
of course the most popular graphics card manufacturer wouldn’t work out of the box on Linux! i would expect nothing less!
yes, Nvidia, and who knows for the rest. i think it was Debian-based, maybe Mint. they went back to Win11 after barely a month because it was so rough, despite years of experience with Linux.
this exact situation happened about 3 months ago to my partner on a modern distro
yep, I have used many linux distros for 20 years or so, and they are certainly much harder to migrate to than checks notes pressing two keys and running a command to get a local account.
good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol
get excited for a random system update to boot you to a GRUB rescue console soon!
not really
prop 65 is a useless law that goes against known science about hazard limits, causing manufacturers to have to label nearly everything with warnings. if a company is violating that law, it usually doesn’t mean much.
cool!
The real power consumption cost is from the model training. The marginal cost of running a query is small. Unless you use LLMs heavily, you probably use more power in many other ways, like if you forget to put your computer to sleep.
More training means better models, generally. If you want to minimize that, look for smaller models on HuggingFace that are more tightly focused on whatever task you have at hand.
Or, you could just do most of your queries when your local electricity mix has more renewables.
this is musk’s team - they are not competent enough to get to that level of surveillance (yet) not like they care about cause anyways
avoiding eggs because of this is silly, as so many types of food need refrigeration too. if you can’t trust someone to cook eggs within the 4 hour window after being removed from refrigeration, how can you trust them to not do the same with any meats or dairy?
have you tried updating?
There are many places on Earth where DNS servers have high latency, low bandwidth, and intermittent connectivity, yet still function fine. It’s already a solved problem.
Nothing would stop you from running a DNS server on Mars and handling requests locally.
