The crowd exhales we know

Thanks for letting me know! You're not going to believe this, but I, too, use Arch.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

So it's working as planned?

WHY ARE YOU NOT UPDATING TO WIN ELEVEN? Hard to recommend this OS without QA.

Agile has been a mistake for the software industry. It did nothing except to give executive more avenue to force changes to the software that are being developed and in the end it'll take a longer time to have production ready software when compared to traditional waterfall approach.

It depends on the use case. For incremental changes and validation of hypotheses in an uncertain or new product Agile is great. It allows for fast valuation and fast pivoting. I would not recommend Agile for systems that are mostly known and need a big upgrade, that's not what its for.

Agile became a buzzword and shouldn't have been implemented as widespread as it has. It does have its use cases though.

Your OS isn't getting regular updates!!!

This is a feature imo.

So you're saying I'll be safe from this if I stick with win 10 past October?

That update made me buy my first Framework laptop! Fuck Microsoft!!

I love my 13". Does exactly what I need. I kind of want the 12", but I don't really need it. So i'm going to hold off.

Butbutbutbut Linux is not ready for desktop! I asked a stupid question in an Arch forum and they told me to RTFM! It does not support kernel level anti-cheat! Terminals are scary!

Etc, etc.

It does not support kernel level anti-cheat!

Huh, thought you were mentioning only the cons.

of file corruption when symptoms occurs" adds the report (Translated from Japanese by Grok AI).

Why would you use an LLM to translate text? There are tools made specifically for that

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Which are based on LLMs or other neural network models. It is kind of the thing that language models are actually good at.

See DeepL for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepL_Translator

The service uses a proprietary algorithm with convolutional neural networks (CNNs)[3] that have been trained with the Linguee database.[4][5]
According to the developers, the service uses a newer improved architecture of neural networks, which results in a more natural sound of translations than by competing services.
The translation is said to be generated using a supercomputer that reaches 5.1 petaflops and is operated in Iceland with hydropower.[6][7]
In general, CNNs are slightly more suitable for long coherent word sequences, but they have so far not been used by the competition because of their weaknesses compared to recurrent neural networks.
The weaknesses of DeepL are compensated for by supplemental techniques, some of which are publicly known.

The 24H2 update would not install on a brand new prebuilt PC that I bought for my parents. I contacted both the manufacturer and Microsoft and spent too many hours troubleshooting before I gave up and returned it to where I bought it as defective. Back to the drawing board for a replacement PC for my parents.
