I don’t understand how you think you can argue this point, when the conversation is literally
- why is it bad that X country is doing better
- because USA is doing worse
And so the title assumes that the reader is from the US and would surely agree that this development is bad.
But you know this. You are arguing in bad faith.
“Washington” seems quite convinced of an imminent WWIII, and I’m guessing they intend to spend a lot of time in Asia.
It was posted to this international community. Regardless of the original intended audience, in this place the discussions should not assume nationality.
This sounds very interesting. I wouldn’t mind if you expanded on it.
Problem for the USA
Once. They do not have the ability to learn or adapt on their own. They are created by humans through “deep learning”, but that is fundamentally different from continuously learning based on one’s own actions and experiences.
We are prediction machines, but nothing like chatgpt. Current AI has no ability to learn, adapt, or even consider the future.
Our jackdaw regular will tear up things around it and throw them around when it gets frustrated (such as when it wants a treat without having to put in any effort).
It could simply be bold and really frustrated.
Obligatory sinophobia. Every thread.
Well I upvoted the post so that people will see the comments!
You managed to get your money back?! How?
I think that’s an american thing. Besides, that money is long gone since I made the purchase several years ago.
I asked for a refund when they kept delaying shipment of my Librem 5. I was simply denied and that was it. They told me I could still choose to receive the phone, but I don’t want it since it’s a bad, practically useless product now.
I reported them in my country for it.
I don’t remember encountering the particular bug they’re describing. I was hoping it was about the behaviour of drag-and-dropping something into the browser, such as with those “drop a file here to upload”. I am often simply unable to make that work because instead of the thing being dropped into the webpage’s element, it opens the file in the browser instead, which is not really something I ever want to do.
Same problem, 1070, NixOS Plasma
While it’s possible that this is the case, we don’t actually know that because the people with the right skills aren’t spending a lot of time and resources on experimenting with new ideas and concepts unless there’s profit to be made from it.
Chances of coming up with an idea for a new kind of OS that will bring great return on investment in terms of profit and market share are very low, so entrepreneurs are spending their time thinking about more lucrative ventures.
If we lived in a post-scarcity Communist society where everyone is free to do what they feel is important and fulfilling to them, we’d be more likely to see new and novel ways of interfacing with computers (and technology in general).
But we don’t.
Edit: Also, operating systems are a lot of work.
I finally got around to restarting my system after adding hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true; to my NixOS config and it works perfectly! Thank you for the suggestion. I likely wouldn’t have figured that out on my own any time soon.
Thanks for the suggestion. sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset indeed prints N, so I’ll try adding that to my system config.
I am summarising this thread. This, from what you quoted:
is precisely what I was referring to with
…and then you proceeded to convey the same sentiment in the discussion:
The strawman I am talking to does not realise that they are being parochial and continues to argue instead of correcting their behaviour.
