Replacement port for M1 Air can be bought for around $10 off Amazon and installation take like 10 minutes for total newbie like me. All you need is right screwdriver.
Funny you should say that since my framework intel 12th gen just started dropping wifi/bluetooth randomly and one cpu starts looking for it frantically in a loop almost bringing the laptop to a crawl (it's very likely a hardware issue and not a linux issue)
Good to know as I have long hesitated to get my hand on refurbished M1 before opting for the framework. On the good side I was able to replace a bent frame and a broken display for a reasonable price instead of having a useless sitting duck/wondering how to use a broken laptop
Not disagreeing with you, but US-controlled dictators have better track record of not killing thousands of protesters or just random people in own populations.
Not perfect option, but still is an improvement even from your positiom.
Agree. See also military dictatorships in South Korea and Taiwan. Many terrible years and brutal killings by the gov't. Both gov'ts were strongly supported by the US.
Wow, I did not expect this type of reply. I reject it. In South Korea, there was incredible civil violence between protesters and police. I'm talking about stolen automatic weapons by protesters, then used against the police after decades of unchecked violence by the police against protesters. In hindsight, it looks like a low grade civil war. It was brutally hard and violent for South Korean to gain their democracy. (When you listen to South Korean boomers talk about how much their treasure and defend their new-found democracy, it will bring tears to your eyes. They really lived the violence and found democracy.) Taiwan needed the last dictator to die. Once his son took over, he quickly devised a plan to transition to an authentic democracy. (They had rigged election for years.) Still, they had 40 years of the "White Terror" where secret police kidnapped and murdered thousands of protesters.
Related: Indonesia also had a very violent transition into democracy, but the old dictators didn't kill as many innocent people as Taiwan or South Korea.
As I understand, the US had very little influence during the democracy transition of these three nations. Regarding Taiwan, the US provided security gurantees against mainland China, but did not interfere with the gov't. South Korea, similar security guarantee against the "Kimdom". Again, did not interfere with the gov't. Indonesia: Provided no security guarantee and did not interfere with the gov't.
I can only see the US insistence on many bad foreign decisions in the name of democracy done in the Middle East by multiple administrations, that without much knowledge of the situation in East Asia, I venture to guess it is not a coincidence that US allies turned into democracies
I also am not sure about Indonesia as an example of a US ally, I don't think it is similar to the other two
Effectively both SK and Taiwan were completely dependent on US for defense, I doubt this had no bearing
Now they need to compare it with Hunyuan 3D 3.0 or other SOTA 3D generator.
Obviously it's not spewing $10,000 3D models, but results are much better than what you would get for under $500 from a human 5 years ago.
So yeah you still need human art director to make sure actual source material used for generation fits your art style, but otherwise "good enough" models are 1000 times cheaper and 10000 times faster to get.
"5 years ago" - you may be right but this is also very debatable.
We've used Hunyuan 3D and while better than Trellis in most cases, it was no where near the type of quality we would and have gotten from a $500 human touch. This is within the last year. And I would very much argue that 5 years ago the $500 model would still win.
And evdn this information might be not very reliable because both US and China government wouldnt be happy about fact that some models might happen to be trained on some "shadow datacenter" full of Nvidia GPUs.
What does that have to do with what I said? Everyone knows that the companies are operating at a loss right now to capture market share in the hope that it's sticky. Google is losing far less money and will not need to get nearly as extreme with how they try to extra money from the product. That honestly makes me feel better about it's long term prospects. And who knows, maybe local llms will prevent it from getting truly bad anyways. Competition tends to keep product quality high.
My guess they mean Google create those summaries via tool use and not trying to filter actual chain of thoughts on API level or return errors if model start leaking it.
If you work with big contexts in AI Studio (like 600,000-900,000 tokens) it sometimes just breaks downs on its own and starts returning raw cot without any prompt hacking whatsoever.
I believe if you intentionally try to expose it that would be pretty easy to achieve.
Whole "democracy" thing is legal framework that wealthy and powerful people built to make safe wealth transfer down the generations possible while giving away as little as possible to average joe.
In a countries without this legal framework its usually free for all fight every time ruling power changes. Not good for preserving capital.
So wealthy having more rights is system working as intended. Not inherently bad thing either as alternative system is whoever best with AK47 having more rights.
>"So wealthy having more rights is system working as intended. Not inherently bad thing either"
Sorry but I do not feel this way. "Not inherently bad thing either" - I think it is maddening and has to be fixed no matter what. You know, wealthy generally do not really do bad in dictatorial regimes either.
> "You know, wealthy generally do not really do bad in dictatorial regimes either."
Until they found dead with unexpected heart attack, their car blow up or they fall out of the window.
In dictatorship vast majority of wealthy people no more than managers of dictators property. Usually with literal golden cages that impossible to sell and transfer.
Once person fall out of favor or stop being useful all their "wealth" just going to be redistributed because it was never theirs.
Who are you defining as "wealthy" here, billionaires? Or anyone with any wealth?
The system does provide protection against wealth because that is what we strive to work hard for our families. It's important that there is a system setup to protect it. Not just for "ruling class" but for everyone who works.
Otherwise we all end up with our own militia to protect it. And I'm not going to enter into any debate about capitalism itself.
Yeah Apple's latest round of breaking changes hasn't been addressed (and seemingly won't be).
The Linux and Mac ports happened in 2013 or so (presumably getting one working went a lot of the way to getting the other working, though there is some speculation that Apple poured in some money to help make it happen).
Later it became clear why: the Apple Silicon transition, and Rosetta 2, which is optimised for running x86-64 binaries on Apple's Arm64.
But the same change is looming on Linux: Ubuntu tried in 2019 but was persuaded not to, Fedora has tried more than once.
WINE 11 can run Win32 binaries on a pure 64-bit host OS without 32-bit libraries. So, you can run some 32-bit Windows games on 64-bit Linux and macOS which cannot run the 32-bit binaries of their own older versions.
Apple merely jumped first. I think it's not to be blamed here. It'll happen everywhere in time.
Oh that's right the - the 32-bit thing. Incidentally Valve experimented with 64-bit GoldSource 20+ years ago for servers at least but didn't really pursue it.
Just look for a2337 usb-c port replacement.
