I've used nvidia for close to 2 decades on various PC hardware machines, desktops to laptops, Dell, HP, Lenovo and nvidia (binary drivers in the Ubuntu/Kubuntu distribution) work 100%. Zero issues. Old and new machines. Very odd eh?

RPI has crap, buy Dell, HP or Lenovo.

I have a mix of systems, have had for several decades, Linux works on all of them, old and new, no issues, seems odd what you're saying, almost like it was entirely made up.

> switched from Windows to Linux this year, and the biggest issue has been drivers and hardware compatibility

It's not 1999, this hasn't been an issue for me on any Dell, HP or Lenovo system in 2 decades.

Yes Google "Ubuntu 2022" or "Kubuntu 2022" if you prefer KDE (I do), install and run it, that's all you have to do.

> Still greatly prefer the Linux machine for everything else but the reliability of knowing that my peripherals are going to work for meetings has been important.

As a long time Ubuntu user, used to use Skype, now Teams, Google Meet, Google Voice (used to be Hangouts) and sometimes Zoom, I have had no issues, or no more than when work makes me use Windows, when using peripherals.

The following Dell laptop would be better than a vendor locked in Chromebook:

Pretty, seems to run efficiently in the browser.

If a massive vacuum cleaner absorbs the world's knowledge from the Internet and regurgitates it using the same AI technology we've had for decades; that's a level of theft the world cannot allow.

I don't see the relevance to the topic?

~35K to now ~36K, why? How!!?

Wouldn't stock buybacks be a sign the US is in recession, regardless what the media says?

I agree with the sentiment but at least they didn't get away with it.

Windows is on a lot of desktops but I think it's fair to say the world runs on Linux, if the US Government ever wises up to this; maybe they will develop the balls to act in America's best interest and split Microsoft, Google and Amazon. And really split Microsoft up this time, not like the late 1990's when they threatened too then suddenly Bill and Bill were photographed golfing together and to no-one's surprise, the DOJ dropped the effort to split Microsoft up.

There were plenty of hyped crypto coin companies supposedly worth billions too and we found out otherwise.

Which is unusual since it's been around since 1956:

"The field of AI research was founded at a workshop held on the campus of Dartmouth College, USA during the summer of 1956."

Actually some continue to use wooden wheels:

These things can be done from home or a remote location, what was the point of forcing them to come into the office in the first place, none.

The whole idea that Type C should replace Type A is odd to me. Actually the number of times I've had to buy new cables and connectors for USB is irritating.

This keyboard is brand new, Type A. I don't recall any I was shopping for to be Type C.

The wheel was invented before anyone living today yet it remains relevant.

It's not related I guess but I remember connecting to CompuServe in 1983 with a 300 Baud modem to catch up on the digital world.

As someone else commented on this page, it wasn't a coup.

Why would they change from the wonderful, peaceful orange'ish color to hideous green?

> arguably the hottest segment of the tech market

Yes it is arguable. OpenAI is nothing more than a really large piece of RAM and storage around a traditional model that was allowed to ingest the Internet and barfs pieces back up in prose making it sound like it came up with the content.

Your use of the word "our" is too liberally applied, he was no hero of mine. I believe history will have a very different view of Altman, "Open"AI, and AI in general.

Correct on Altman, the success belongs to the Internet for its (our) data, code, ideas, videos, content that it subsumed using nothing more elaborate than traditional modeling and a ton of RAM and storage.

I agree with the sentiment since I block unsolicited emails but..you and I are not the intended subjects of the OP's post. They are talking about sending a topic or idea or suggestion to someone rich and/or powerful and/or otherwise impacting or leading many people perhaps.

In that sense, I do not believe it violates the CAN-SPAM Act: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act...

"If it contains only transactional or relationship content, its primary purpose is transactional or relationship. In that case, it may not contain false or misleading routing information, but is otherwise exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act."

Bandwidth would need to be compared and considered between EC2 and what they were able to negotiate for bare metal co-location.

It seems to me, this will sound the death knell for poor software security practices.
