Depending on interests other solid sw is Inkscape, Blender, and GIMP. But those get increasingly intricate to use. I also wonder how the Adobe AI clones will do after their first one shot publicity.
Ah, the game of what can be taxed that has the least lobbyists to protect it - it's a game that plays out as a decline for civilizations because government representatives aren't representing the interests of the people of the nation. And because the biggest entities with money have the most lobbyists.
But is the actual architecture of systemd giving simple, securable, reviewable boundaries? This is a codebase that runs in stages of inherent privelege and very low levels in many linux systems.
Not even the next cycle, as far as I can tell if you say stop or unsubscribe, the political spam mailing list system adds a new candidate to the ~8-10 candidates they keep you loaded with
Many private utilities in the US have fought against residential solar, and are seemingly motivated to act against it as something against their long term interests. In California the amount of Public Utilities Commisssion retrograde policy is ridiculous.
Are we burning the battery materials into gases and sending the results into the atmosphere? No, then we are unlikely to run out of materials on a primary or secondary, recycled, basis. Not to mention the diversity of choices available for chemistries and storage
As a long time Amazon customer I stopped Prime and stopped using the platform because all of those went downhill and unreliable as their prices went up - even after they opened a local warehouse in my same city limits
The article claims that gas prices are set by international markets that are willing to bid up prices and the small added contribution from the North sea is not going to swing prices significantly. The US is going through a similar delusion that they produce enough domestically to protect is Diesel prices - they don't and the oil companies are not going to forgo international markets
It is very strange to see how many nations gave up energy independence and basically exchanged a temporarily lower price of energy coupled with deep geopolitical dependencies outside the nation. Money seems politically easy to spend raising defense expenditures by a few more percent of GDP but energy independence through decentralized renewables would be a much higher defense value imho. And it would actually propel more economic activity.
I went back to Firefox on desktop and phones when it was clear Chrome was going the way of IE in terms of being too large a market share for it's own good or the good of users and developers. These days its much better than when Chrome first came out, but I also toy with librewolf or other even more user oriented alternate browsers.
At one point in computer history, you had to know how to create and submit a punchcard to run a program. In the age of AI, I think we're going to be sifting through what software knowledge is still relevant and what is punchcard operation for quite a while.
I think the goal comes from the user. Some users want to solve a problem, some users may want to learn something. I'm not sure that having AI widely available really changes the ratio of the two, but I think I see AI availability as a factor that could accelerate the learning curve of the ones that have a goal of learning.
In history, some of the best educated aristocrats had live tutors for education. Was their cognitive ability impaired by having expert instructors? When textbooks were generated did they impede the ability to think about problems or advance it? Does one have to expend every hour of previous effort to collect knowledge in order to understand and advance further? Does AI have the effect of tutors or textbooks, or something else?
In California, most cities are behind on funding pensions. There is a de facto assumption/delusion that there will be some large scale bailout at some point.
Its a huge stretch saying it's even approximating human intelligence. All llms are lossy, recombinant, compressed search indexes. There is no introspection - and what we mostly see is fairly rudimentary heuristic programming loops wrapped around them - which tells you how powerful a tool llms are, but don't mistake the capabilities of the tool for reasoning in any form.
fuel pump meters can be altered too as well a farm diesel abuses - scofflaws trying to get around paying their fair share will always take some regulatory effort
The idea that successful people need to be obsessively dedicated that that one thing exclusive to everything else is unhealthy and I think a hustle culture trope.
If anything, I think successful people tend to have a range of pastimes and balanced activities in order to maintain perspective and not burnout.
Is Verizon's fine for selling user location data high enough to be more of a deterrent than cost of doing business? The fine was even for selling to the wrong parties, implying that there are parties to access it legitimately.
I suppose one potential drawback is that the visibility of the logic of a plugin is inherent in the pi ts extensions, and unless it's shipped with the rpi (pi-rust) extension, it may not be the same to use it. There are instances where I've seen pi go digging around in it's own docs & code to figure out how to do something.
The samples from recent history seem to say that well regulated competitve markets are beneficial but ironically that socialism provides better competitive markets then capitalism.
I would not cheer the AI tulip craze effect on memory as a benefit of capitalism as it has several obvious unchecked violations of well regulated markets.
I wonder about adding a plugin shim for webassembly, or a Rust crate with integrated V8 engine (Bun?). But honestly, I use pi and I have yet to ask it to self-modify.
