How does this work when “good enough” AI like Deepseek V4, GLM and such are so dirt cheap they’re basically free for businesses? And available from tons of providers, or even self hostable?

Typically what separates enterprise-grade products and services from alternatives is a contract with an SLA… but that generally means there’s some contractual requirements for the reliability and productivity of the product or service. I’m not sure that any of the overhyped chatbots are reliable enough to support such contractual obligations, or that there’s a useful way to measure their productivity.

They’re going to try to stick taxpayers with the debt in a “too big to fail” way, and the current administration will help them.

No collusion!

So, they’re delusional.

Yeah, putting satirical ones in LinkedInLunatics feels a bit like eating the onion.

I mean… this is very obviously satirical…

OK, interesting, no draft. Is it PLA? Is the chamber being actively heated? What is the printer model?

If you are interested in maintaining your OS as an ongoing and constant project, go with Arch. You will learn a lot about Linux, and about system administration in general. You will also have entire days where you are unable to do anything productive with your computer because the last update broke userspace again and you can either spend a lot of time troubleshooting your specific problem, or spend a lot of time reinstalling and reconfiguring your system.

If your computer is more than just a hobby platform and you need to use it regularly for any kind of productivity, go with Debian. Set it and forget it.

Either way, off-system file backups are recommended.

Just do AI therapy!

It will tell you you’re great, and you won’t have to risk any emotional vulnerability with a real person!

shred, then compost

The supports are only lightly connected to the object, to make them easier to remove. The force being exerted by the plastic as it cools is stronger than the light connection to the supports, especially over such a large area.

Probably there is a draft causing it to cool to rapidly. An enclosure, even just a cardboard box around the print area, would help.

And Jesus said:

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Matthew 6:5-8

…in the corner

I don’t get how someone could be like “don’t read the bad books” and not pause in thier criticism of authoritarianism that they in fact are being authoritarian.

So maybe you’ve misunderstood my point, or maybe you’re projecting what you think my point is onto me.

I am not saying “don’t read the bad books”. I am saying “don’t read the books of bad authors”, and in that context only from some very limited sources. For instance, I would also recommend that people not read Mein Kampf.

Lenin’s authoritarianism could have reasonably been a response to the brutal authoritarianism of the Tsar

This is like excusing the behavior of an abusive father because his father was also abusive. We can understand the source of the behavior, certainly, but we do not excuse it, treat it as acceptable, nor should we take advice on social structure from such a person.

Your “Lenin doesn’t account for older forms of imperialism”

I said no such thing. You are putting words in my mouth.

What I said was that imperialism is NOT a function of capitalism. They are distinct and separate concepts. There might be overlap in symptoms, but that does not make them the same thing or causally linked to each other in any particular way.

what his actual argument is, which is pretty undeniable.

Don’t care, for the reason stated above.

Its just really hard for me to read you have such strong dismissive opinions, so much to tell others not to even go near the subject

Again, not the subject, the author.

You’re entitled to strong feelings, contradictory beliefs, and critical opposition to whatever you feel is necessary.

Well thank you so much for your permission.

But at least be honest about it.

I have been very blunt, direct and honest. You have misinterpreted what I said, either intentionally or unintentionally, and have generated straw men so that you can argue against them.

You claim to understand Lenin’s theories enough to decommend or even comment on

Again, I have claimed no such thing, and also don’t care to become able to claim any such thing. If someone were making social or economic arguments based on Mein Kampf I would also ignore them.

And yes, I’m aware I just brought this into Godwin’s Law territory, but frankly it’s justified.

Yes, of course, because I pointed out that the author of a particular book is a horrible person whose work is not worth reading, that must mean I don’t read at all.

Pathetic.

WebKit

Sorry that’s not correct. It used to be WebKit via QtWebKit, but now it’s Chromium via QtWebEngine.

Fun fact: the KHTML code base that was developed for Konqueror was forked by Apple to create WebKit, and Webkit has been adopted by Google for Blink, so Konqueror is kind of the origin point for all current web browsers except Firefox (which is descended from Netscape).

… and there are now terminal browsers like chawan that can render images mostly correctly.

Oh good, so they’re kind of on the level of Netscape Navigator.

I heard Zed was dead
