But the code that loads other code (launches an app, switches to it, etc) needs to be running on the same CPU, afaik.

The libraries would probably be easy. We’ve already got x86 and amd64 libraries on the same machine, but the kernel I imagine would be awful. Would two kernels have to run on the same machine? What about memory access? What about the scheduler? Would it really be more efficient than emulation? For every x86 instruction, there is either an equivalent instruction or an equivalent set of instructions for ARM.

That sounds like a nightmare to code for.

You mean Ben Shapiro was wrong?!

You want a light that’s a light? Ridiculous.

Oh thank god. Minetest was the worst name, and the game is actually pretty cool. It definitely deserves a cool name, and Luanti sounds cool.

Knowing the footguns in your language is always useful. The more you know, the less you’ll shoot your foot.

Can I suggest QuickDAV as a good file sharing/transfer app?

It uses the Nephele WebDAV server.

I think it’s good that you don’t remember me. I always obey the rules of good grammar.

But do you recognize me!?

America has been turned into a dystopia by republicans where in order to vote, you have to provide birth certificate, social security card, a a permission slip from your late parents, a blood sample, a piece of the Shroud of Turin, a moon rock, and 75 thousand dollars in unmarked non-consecutive bills.

I’m just shy of 40, and if that’s how sex feels to you, you should work on that.

Like jerking off, but with someone else’s hand.

But it’s the Democrats who shove politics into everything. /s

Party before country, right?

If you don’t like politics, just move to a country where you don’t get to vote. Problem solved.

Disgusting war crimes.

I feel like if ChatGPT were the only LLM on the market, they’d have a real path to profitability, but it’s not even the best LLM on the market. And the open source models are nearly as good, meaning the vast majority of people who need an LLM can run it on their own hardware.

It’s kind of like trying to make a profitable business out of offering a special sauce that isn’t as good as your competitors sauce, and is barely better than the free sauce from Taco Bell. Oh and it costs you millions of dollars to produce a single bottle.

My home server has an NVMe that has the OS and all the Docker Compose stacks and their database data. The big data (photos, movies, backups, etc) are on a big 6 drive RAID 6 array. The NVMe gets backed up to the RAID every night. They go into folders named after the day of the week, so I’ve always got 7 days worth. Then every week or so, I rsync the whole RAID to a big drive at my parent’s house. The reason I do that manually is because I don’t want it happening if I get hit with a ransomware attack.

That was all relatively easy to set up, but server administration is also my profession, so for normal people, I recommend an easier home server setup and a commercial backup solution.

I’m actually working on an open source backup solution based on my deduplicating WebDAV server, Nephele. If I can pull it off, it’ll be free and open source to run on your own hardware, or you can pay my company to back up to my hardware.

You might be able to copy one stroke of a pen exactly, but the thousands or tens of thousands of strokes it takes to paint a painting? Like, yeah, you can copy a painting “close enough”, but it’s not exactly the same, because paint isn’t deterministic.

As far as making a “close enough” copy that isn’t exactly the same with AI, you can just use any image as the input image and set the denoising strength to like .1. Then you’ll get basically the same image but it’ll have a different checksum. So if you wanna steal art, AI makes it way easier.

There’s not really any human creativity in this process, or even using your own prompts, which is the whole point behind the copyright office denying this guy’s copyright claim. Maybe you could copyright your prompt, if it’s detailed enough.
