Ah sorry, it was lutris (the name escaped me). I've done all the combinations of wine and wrappers to wine. All of them have a sort of unstable relationship with the calling environment. alt-tabbing out of games never works, there are freezes and game crashes when you try to switch in and out of games a fluidly as you can on windows.

I believe you that steamos is better, but it's also a single task environment where you're not checking your email between rounds of halo.

I'll give proton a try, though i believe that was in play when i was laddering with lutris.

Well, that's apples and oranges. I was playing starcraft on wine earlier this year and there were constant freezes and crashes on new hardware.

I don't.

I've been using linux since the days of downloading slackware on a stack of 1.44mb floppy disks. I gave up on linux gaming around 2007. I've revisited it this year, but it still sucks. it's just not worth it.

just relax, install windows and late the escapism take over.

Do you have a parts list for what's in the zuck glasses?

The romulan empire does this.

I don't care. I hope they enjoyed themselves while their countryman were running the meat grinder a short drive away

Im reading this wearing a CPAP.

Sorry to hear that. I have a family history of that as well. I think I'm starting to show signs of it.

Vim forever I guess. Im typing on a full split with cherry reds (very soft). What are you on?

Which joint issues? Have you tried evil mode?

The best ones are out for... Reasons? This seems completely bad faith and honestly really Elon musk fanboyish.

Literally none of this options you listed are that objectionable.

Do what the rest of us do and switch frequently. Don't use mekafurhur and you'll be fine.

The French understand how to run a society.

> It doesn't define what AI is

this is a bad faith comment.

I am and that is also a problem.

This eliminates the appeal of andoid over ios.

He doesn't know the answer to that and neither do you.

You're right. I use it for api documentation and showing use cases, especially in languages i don't use often.

but this other attribution people are doing- that it's going to achieve (the marketing term) AGI and everything will be awesome is clearly bullshit.

It is not intelligent.

Hiding the training data behind gradient descent and then making attributions to the program that responds using this model is certainly artificial though.

This analogy just isn't holding water.

is this related to sourcehut?

I had such a professor as well, but those people used to use the more accurate term "machine learning".

There was also wide understanding that those architectures were trying to imitate small bits of what we understood was happening in the brain (see marvin minsky's perceptron etc). The hope was, as I understood it that there would be some breakthrough in neuroscience that would let the computer scientists pick up the torch and simulate what we find in nature.

None of that seems to be happening anymore and we're just interested in training enough to fool people.

"AI" companies investing in brain science would convince me otherwise. At this point they're just trying to come up with the next money printing machine.

Is there anything you can tell me that will help me drop the nagging feeling that gradient descent trained models will just never be good?

I understand all of what you said, but I can't get over that fact that the term AI is being used for these architectures. It seems like the industry is just trying to do a cool parlor trick in convincing the masses this is somehow AI from science fiction.

Maybe I'm being overly cynical, but a lot of this stinks.

This is a gross over implication. I honestly don't know where to start.

ahhh i was there, 3000 years ago when it was announced in IRC.

I agree. but we get phillip wadler's list comprehensions

Yea of course, its not really the focus for me either way. my point was that how great haskell seemed in grad school didn't match up with the real world interest.

I use spark for most tasks like that now. Guido stole enough from haskell that pyspark is actually quite appealing for a lot of these tasks.

it's easy to learn and speak latin as well.

yea I agree. haskell was my primary language for several years in the 00s. it's since had almost zero industry uptake. Don't come at me with jane street or the one off startup.

I thought for a while I'd be able to focus on getting jobs that liked haskell. it never happened.

Haskell seems pretty dead as well. Good think php has another option for line noise though.

shit you're right. sorry about the jobs report.
