Still, those students who WANT to learn will not be held back by AI.

Our society probably won’t survive if only the students who want to learn do so. 😔

Whack-a-mole that creates plausible deniability to be used when someone is harmed or dies.

Nice to see there’s a second name thrown around. If this damn bubble doesn’t pop soon, we’ll all be on Chinese RAM in a year or two.

The process through which we get more users is that something material changes in current Tirefire user’s life that puts them over the threshold needed to look for alternative. Then they look. Lemmy is the obvious Reddit alternative, it’s well indexed in search engines. Then they try it. If the quality of content is decent, there’s a decent chance they stay. They know the quantity won’t be as high, that’s the major reason they haven’t switched to begin with. So for this process to keep functioning, we need to maintain the quality.

Of course we should also suggest Lemmy, but probably when asked or otherwise appropriate. Or else it may have the opposite effect that naked shilling often has.

This is going to be a bigger deal than I thought. Can’t cross 91% lib scan even if I delete the music lib and then upgrade. Even turning on debug logging doesn’t reveal anything helpful. Rolling back to 10.10 for now. Will attempt again when they force me to upgrade.

When I hear freefall I think rock-bottom prices. I don’t think this is that. 😄

How do you know it’s a good answer? That requires prior knowledge that you might have. My juniors repeatedly demonstrate they’ve no ability to tell whether an LLM solution is a good one or not. It’s like copying from SO without reading the comments, which they quickly learn not to do because it doesn’t pass code review.

Good note.

I seem to be suffering from this issue. Lotsa spam in the logs and the scan job doesn’t seem to be moving. The next attempt would be, revert, disable music lib and upgrade. Then deal with the music lib separately. But I’ll let it run another 12-24 hours.

My god what a shit show.

It’s all normal though. Software development is hard and big changes mean more regressions. You do the changes when needed, then you work on squashing the bugs.

Library scan still going here. At least something is spinning because one CPU thread is pegged to 100%.

I do. It could be this:

After the migration it is recommended that you perform a full scan through the admin dashboard. We have observed that for some users, some elements might not work properly otherwise (e.g parental ratings). As of RC8 a scan for missing metadata may be required for music libraries to function properly. The first scan after the migration might also take quite a bit longer than usual, though subsequent scans should be as quick as before.

From the release notes.

The last messages in the log are from music lib scanning. I’m leaving it be for now.

Fucking hell. OK, I’ll upgrade again and wait longer. Mine’s ~15TB.

I do have a large collection and I haven’t checked the music lib state yet. I have a zfs snapshot from before the upgrade so I could restore if shit hits the fan.

Just upgraded from 10.10. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.

E: Couldn’t finish lib scan. Reverted to 10.10.

I simultaneously take offence by the suggestion that Linux is good now and am happy the lamers at PC Gamer are promoting it. Ultimately I won’t be inspecting this particular horse’s teeth. *Quiet grumble noises*

Debian, sudo apt install steam-installer.

Yup, udev is the right tool for this. I’d just put the script in /usr/local/bin, where it belongs.

Interesting.

Why terrible?

Yeah I’m talking about the US stock market. You’re analysing production and material needs and that makes sense. The stock market prices predict future returns. In normal conditions it would probably take a while for Chinese EUV to bring down ASML’s stock. In the current conditions around the AI pump it might act as a trigger that pops the imagined huge returns because it’ll be a clear signal that China is very likely to eat NVIDIA’s lunch and therefore dependent firms. It might also act as a broader propaganda-piercing signal to investors that China catching up is real and near. That would question the broader semiconductor sector’s future returns too.
