Kataan seems like a pre-industrial society until the end of the episode, when all of a sudden they're launching a rocket. What's up with that?
The door controls in Ressik are sci-fi beepy dealies, as if the director realized at the last minute they needed something to visually indicate this is a space-age civilization. Because… look at everything else!...
What's your take on private trackers?
Are they for you? Why or why not?
Can Linux be dual booted on a computer with Windows?
I have a Lenovo Yoga running Windows 10 on a 1TB SSD and at some point will probably have to upgrade it to Windows 11. I use it for school and have to keep Windows on it for now because of what I’m currently doing. I want to start getting into Linux in hopes of making the switch sometime down the line. Is partitioning the disk...
Since the Turing Test seems NOT to be an accurate way to check for true AI, what is? What's will be the indicator that tells us it's arrived? I can't imagine; everything seems falsifiable.
Edit: After reading the discussion, I figured I’d let GPT4 speak for itself:...

How do you remove the restraints from LLMs?
Hello, I’m currently using GPT4All on Debian, I was wondering, how do you get the AI to do whatever you want? I’m using the Nous Hermes 2 Mistral DPO model.
Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?
I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...
What are your favorite Steam games?
What is your favorite streaming service?
I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know?
It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it...
What storage manufacturer do you swear to and why?
There are quite a few choices of brands when it comes to purchasing harddisks or ssd, but which one do you find the most reliable one? Personally had great experiences with SeaGate, but heard ChrisTitus had the opposite experience with them....
CRT RGB modding
I just picked up my second CRT last night. A free 27" Sony Trinitron. It has composite only, just like my flat tube Toshiba. Both seem to be working well....
What is the most noob friendly video editing software on Linux?
vSphere+Debian+KDE Plasma=Crash?
I needed a test VM at work the other day so I just went with Debian because why not, during the install I chose KDE plasma as the DE. I did nothing else with it after installing it and after leaving it alone for a while (somewhere between 20-60 minutes) the CPU useage shot up to the point vSphere sent out an alert and the VM was...

Neat factor
I’ve messed around with Linux before, mostly in VMs, but I’m looking to switch over from Windows permanently on my laptop because I think Linux is cool. Most people in this community talk about pros and cons of this distro or this other distro, but I’d like to hear your opinions based on entirely subjective factors....
My take on AI is obvious, but I have not seen it anywhere.
First of all, the take that LLM are just Parrots without being able to think for themself is dumb. They do in a limited way! And they are an impressive step compared to what we had before them....
Please suggest some cute retro games to play on SF2000 for my 8yo
She just found Crystal’s Pony Tale and loves it so far. Are there any other ‘cute’ games that she might like?
AI call agents on phones.
Seriously, I’d rather either sit on hold and press buttons instead of trying to explain to an AI several times that I want it to connect me to a real person. I also have a “non standard” accent as well, so the thing probably cannot even understand me.
Questions about Linux-Linux dualboot
So I’ve had enough from partitioning my HDD between Linux and Windows, and I want to go full Linux, my laptop is low end and I tend to keep some development services alive when I work on stuff (like MariaDB’s) so I decided to split my HDD into three partitions, a distro (Arch) for my dev stuff, a distro (Pop OS) for gaming,...
How much longer will the age of Science last?
I’m curious what your take is on the finite nature of Science. I imagine the fractal “edge” will always remain illusive, but when do we hit 98% or 99.999% documented confirmed, distilled, and well explained? (Centuries? Millennia?) When does it become an engineering corpus?...
