Rotation works for me flawlessly on Fedora Silver blue.

Send me a PM and I'll buy you a coffee ;)

Remember, for every paid SaaS, there is a free open-source self-hosted alternative

CAD. Free solutions compared to commercial ones (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion360, Onshape) are like comparing Photoshop to an open source Paint clone.

Crypto as currency = good.

Crypto as investment = bad.

First one is technological progress, the other is a Ponzi scheme.

The architecture can easily be open source - as long as repo is missing just the training data. Just like there are Doom engines that are open source, even though they do not provide WAD files, which are still copyrighted. The code is there, but it is somewhat useless without the data. Analogy is not perfect, but let's assume it compiles to a single binary containing everything, maps included.

If ID Software gives you a compiled Doom with maps free to use it is freeware. If they open source the engine (they actually did), but do not release the WAD files as open source, the compiled game is not open source - it is still freeware.

It is not complicated really.

Yesterday I've spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?

As a mechanical engineer - there is no serviceable free CAD. The only thing you can hope for is Linux compatibility - and you have 100% of that with Onshape only (cloud based).

I remember that in pre-school in around 1990 we made clay ashtrays for father's day. My father did not smoke but they told me to make one anyway...

I skimmed the paper. As you said, they made a ML model that takes images and traditional risk factors (TCv8).

I would love to see comparison against risk factors + human image evaluation.

Nevertheless, this is the AI that will really help humanity.

Nothing is happening in Norway. Source: I live in Norway.

I've met only a handful people that use Linux on their desktop, plus some developers that use it at work.

Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won’t see any issue with it.

I guess they will anwser such calls with AI to get a summary anyway...

Great points overall. I guess previous generations thought that a hand-written letter cant be replaced by a digital one, yet here we are.

Let's say that there is a single player MMO where all the other players are played by AI, but it is done so well that you can't really see the difference from real-human MMO players.

Would you play this? I would not. The fact that there is a human on the other side is important, even though it does not make any practical difference. Same with birthday wishes - that's way Facebook did not automate "Happy birthday!" even though it could.

Would you upload your personal data and voice to Open AI for it to make a a birthday wishes call to your mom? So convinient! She won't know the difference, and you get a 5 bulletpoint summary afterwards! Such a hellscape.
