here is a screenshot of a Discord window on top of a Firefox window in KDE. can you tell where one window ends and the other begins? more to the point, can you do this quickly while trying to select or resize one of the windows?
removing window borders was one of the worst UI mistakes in Windows 10 (so bad, they partially reverted it in Windows 11) and it's disappointing to see KDE doing the same thing.
window borders were invented for a reason. they aren't a waste of space, they are important indicators of how/where to interact with the UI. please stop removing them 🙁

I'll be away for a few days
Just got done burying my old dog.
She started going downhill fast within 3 days and today I called jerm home from work. She was collapsing and soiling herself, vomiting , drooling, convulsions
When she only got up to walk away from me then collapse again i knew she was crawling away to die
We did not have time to wait for the vet to get here, it wouldve been 5 hours
Waiting for that gunshot was the worst feeling imaginable
She was my best friend, she went everywhere with me and slept by my side. I feel the worse for jerm because of what he had to do. Since we can't have kids she was like our big baby
Anyways I had to vent

With all of SNCF's locomotives to haul passenger trains (and hence night trains) getting long in the tooth, finding alternative haulage would be really useful.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

This post sure has a point. Reductive? Yes, but in a way that illuminates.
(Quibble/nuance downthread)
1/
It’s important to distinguish two different hypothetical ways in which gen AI can constitute a massive wealth transfer:
Scenario 1, “LLMs are the new petrochemicals:” Gen AI is actually effective for all sorts of tasks as advertised. It becomes a necessity for economic participation / useful work / whatever, and ownership of the data model and/or data centers thus means control of high-value resources.
2/
Scenario 2, “LLMs are the new cryptocurrency:” Regardless of whether the tech itself is useful or overblown, its wild overvaluation creates a massive wealth transfer to early (already wealthy) investors from later investors.
3/
I’m a bit concerned that the OP’s framing takes scenario 1 as a given (or at least is likely to be understood that way). The history of the current AI bubble is full of warnings about AI that are secretly •advertisements• for AI, and I want to be careful not to fall into that trap.
(I doubt that’s the OP’s intent! But regardless of intent, it’s a danger, something to watch out for.)
4/
Both scenarios can be and likely are true: this tech can turn out to be genuinely valuable for some purposes when the dust settles •and• be wildly overvalued now. (My guess is that the overvaluation as measured by investment money is currently around 2-3 orders of magnitude. Whatever. Nobody actually knows, certainly not me.)
5/
Yeah tbh I'm really not worried that LLMs will *actually* be able to do my job (and even if they could, good luck making the hundreds of billions of dollars required to keep it all running anyway. Can't make a profit on $20 a month when nobody has a job...).
I AM worried, however, that capital can stay irrational longer than I can pay my rent.

Und spätestens als ich selbst festgestellt habe, dass der Ballaststoffbedarf eines Menschen bei 0 liegt, habe ich das Nassfutter weggelassen und mit Frischfleisch aufgefüllt und...

Is inviting friends to listen to you defend your PhD dissertation a thing that academics do now, or is this particular acquaintance of mine an outlier?
This feels to me like inviting friends to attend your company’s all-hands meeting. But maybe I’m a jaded weirdo.
I invited friends who had shown interest in my research to come, but not general invitations to my entire circle.
Not all defenses are business meetings, either. It really depends on the school. Mine was more of an acknowledgement of the work & a celebration of finishing it.
So proud to be a part of this incredible team of humans who want to build a better internet ❤️
