It’s not reallyyyy open source . But I suppose neither is almost any LLM.

The OSI (Open Source Initiative) definition also mandates that training data be disclosed and open.

Hydrogen cannot supplant batteries in mass market cars. It doesn’t make sense, primarily for reasons concerning the laws of physics.

It takes a tremendous amount more energy to power a hydrogen car.

Use a lot of electricity to split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, force the oxygen to react with another substance leaving pure hydrogen, siphon it away, spend more energy compressing it to bomb-like pressures (or alternatively cooling it until it becomes a liquid, at great energy cost), transport it to hydrogen stations, pump it into cars, do reverse hydrolysis (also incurring a large energy loss) to turn it back into electricity to charge a battery to power an electric motor. [Bonus: since the battery is tiny, it can’t supply a huge amount of power instantaneously - making hydrogen cars far slower than a typical EV.]

OR:

Take that electricity, send it over some wires with over 95% energy efficiency, charge a battery that powers an electric motor.

Then there’s the safety considerations for the cars because they have highly compressed hydrogen on board, the same is true for hydrogen fueling stations which cost a fortune and have an unbelievable amount of red tape. Meanwhile it’s easy and cheap to add charging points everywhere, because practically everywhere already has electricity.

Their range isn’t even much better, because not only is the energy density really bad compared to petrol or diesel, you’re also compromised on fuel tank size due to it having to be small, spherical, unlikely to be struck in a crash (ie put in an inconvenient place re: car packaging) and phenomenally structurally strong, all to prevent it from exploding like compressed hydrogen likes to do.

There’s a reason why despite every manufacturer toying with hydrogen vehicles for decades, there’s basically only the Mirai that you can actually buy, for an awful price, and it’s a shit car, while there are several hundred EVs out there right now. One is a viable car technology, and one is basically an EV with a long list of compromises.

I can’t find a gif of it, so I’d just like everyone to imagine that I posted that scene from the SpongeBob Movie where a worker sprays a can of hair onto King Neptune’s eyes.

Some blue tick twitter account probably told him that healthy living is woke or something

Looks pretty great.

I don’t really have much reason to go onto the Gnome website, despite using Gnome (the most Gnome-related website I visit is probably Fedora’s ISO download page), so I doubt I’ll see it much, but that’s a damn slick page, whoever made it did a great job.

He’s like Henry Ford, apart from the being good at building cars part.

I’m sorry my corrections to all your many errors are bothering you.

You got a pro managing it?

\sigh

Spaces before a full stop? Really?

Last.

Fair question.

That user goes around issuing weird and pointless corrections to other people’s comments, even sometimes to the point of personally insulting people who make grammatical or spelling errors – often common ones that non-native speakers make, so I thought it’d be funny to do the same in turn, since their comment history is filled with much of the same.

I wouldn’t usually do it, it’s a pointless exercise IMO.

Why do you keep putting random double spaces in half your comments?

Not it doesn’t. Did an Ai slop this story too?

You are wrong. Ran is past tense of run.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/run-into

run into something

present participle: running | past tense: ran | past participle: run

If you run into problems, you begin to experience them:

example: We ran into bad weather/debt/trouble.

If you’re going to try to correct people, please make sure you’re actually right first.

It’s ran. Because I’m talking about past events.

I’m frequently told that Linux is hard and you need to be a tech guru to use it, yet every week I see 1-2 articles of issues in windows you need to do some bullshit to fix, and in my own use of it I’ve ran into issues (especially after doing an update) that I just don’t run into on Linux or MacOS.

And some people wonder why the cybertruck is barely sold outside the US.

Everything I hear about this thing is bad.

Apple’s iCloud backups aren’t encrypted by default,

Why the fuck not?

“Open source” and “commercial” aren’t opposites, plenty of models we consider commercial are also ‘open source’ - an obvious example being Facebook/Meta’s models…

Looking outside of AI there’s plenty more examples. Chromium is open source, does that mean it and Google’s Blink web rendering engine is non-commercial? I’d say no.

Should also be noted that there’s been some pushback recently on whether models trained on closed sources should be called “open source”, just because the model itself is.

£60 before adding all the DLC 😵‍💫

In fairness, it’s always been one of those games that goes on sale a lot and is priced low when it does. Patience is a virtue.

If it’s anything like 6, yes, but the Linux version won’t get quick updates so effectively no, since players have to be on the same update.

There’s no reason the Proton version won’t work, though, I suppose.

Here’s hoping the Linux native version fares better this time around…
