- Comment on Framework responds to complaints that BIOS update bricks Ryzen 7040 laptops 6 days ago:
Probably referring to Framework's somewhat puzzling support of DHH, who openly supports far-right racists.
As to the BIOS issue, it should be noted:
Framework’s statement to Ars says:
… in addition to replacing in-warranty Mainboards, we are making exceptions for out-of-warranty replacements where we can confirm a stable-release BIOS update caused the board to become non-bootable.
Framework is also introducing a “Crisis Recovery Mode” BIOS functionality to enable a path for failed updates to be directly recoverable.

The qualitative aspect is also something I was wondering about. I wouldn't even say that men don't have intimate friendships. Men can have very intimate relationships, but they're intimate in a different way. I could also well imagine that men have less of those intimate friendships.

Fully agree that poverty plays a significant role in loneliness, or at least, the analysis adds up in my view. I've also found that in many cases where some other societal denominator is mentioned as a reason for people being worse off, poverty plays a significant, often more significant, factor.
What worries me is what is addressed in the first few paragraphs - the way the male loneliness epidemic, real or not, is talked about in an almost mocking tone, and that just being accepted by society at large as normal. I also know that men are much more likely to die by suicide, and the supposed male loneliness epidemic has often been brought into connection with that. If it's not that, what is it? I mean, I have my guesses, but that's another story. I just wish the author would have looked at that angle a little closer, because I feel there's a significant piece of the puzzle missing there somewhere.

the character of the GNU/GPL cult
Sorry that Linux advocates are so allergic to search engines.
but LiGNUts prefer wasting time bickering over stupid crap
OK then.

Source?

I meant, if it was a PR stunt, one would think huggingface would have to participate. Unless they sent a hacker after Huggingface, which would be downright criminal, even for AI companies' standards.

But then why would huggingface participate? Don't quite get it.

numerous studies
that 1 study
Spot the difference. If you're so knowledgeable you should be able to figure it out. Mind you, you should have been able to figure it out without my help, but I digress.
Imagine unironically asking this question.
Yeah, imagine how that person (oh wait, that's me! Hint: you can address me directly) can unironically ask about how the process of training LLMs and the continued use of them potentially violates literally thousands of agreements. The problem is the answer hasn't changed, as much as you would like to ignore it. If you don't know that, you have absolutely no business accusing others of being misinformed.

Anyone with this view instantly goes in the "doesnt know wtf they are talking about, skill issue" bin.
Ah, I see painting everyone with one brush. Never mind the numerous studies stating otherwise. Oh the irony when you claim others are spreading misinformation.
“the tools are built in unethical and morally deficient ways”.
For coding, not really tbh. People are also deeply misinformed on this as well.
People are still operating on assumptions of how these tools work like its 2023 and not 2026.
So tell me, what has changed? Are we suddenly not gobbling Up the entire internet without permission to train AI models anymore? I must have missed something... (/s)
Honestly, personally, I tend to agree with Linus on this point, but holy fuck you have your hypocritical nose way up in the air.
- Comment on Looking for a YouTube monitor and downloader. Sorry if wrong place for question. 1 month ago:
yt-dlp has an option to list everything it downloads in an archive file (so that when a video is downloaded once it isn't downloaded again), and also has an option to download playlists. That way, it should be possible to set up the command to do what you want.
