Okay so a few counterpoints. Firstly, it would only be more optimised assuming the user actually knows what they’re doing when it comes to those optimisations you discussed. Considering the Framework 12 is designed to be a replacement for the Chromebook in education, I’d say the average userbase would be better with an alternative.

Secondly, benchmarks are designed to be a reflection of general usage. Gentoo that’s optimised for productivity, or for gaming, or for creative work just isn’t indicative of every users set up. It also can’t be used comparatively in a fair manner with other devices if it’s specialised in a way that is not automatic on the part of the OS. The journalist would need to set it up in a general manner, and then it loses a lot of that optimisation that you speak of. That’s just how impartiality works.

What makes you say that Gentoo is the most optimised?

It brings balance to the employer-employee relationship

Because that’s certainly currently weighted towards the employee side of things, right? Right??

Yes and no. The user’s pfp is of a white cis-passing woman. Some of this feels like it could potentially be dismissive of microaggressions about race or transgender status. Especially the “harsh words are violence” line. However I do think words like gaslighting are becoming overplayed. I had a very autistic argument about trains a while back and got told I was gaslighting them for disagreeing.

Maybe true for teeth, but to say it’s not better for brains just shows you’ve never had to spend time in a ward in either country. Keeping in mind that you can get sectioned in the US and come out of it with tens of thousands of medical debt when you had no choice in the matter.

Australia, but the same is true for basically every developed country apart from the US to varying degrees.

Those who are struggling most cant afford diagnoses and they cant afford pills.

This is only true in the USA. Importantly, treatment is not a cure.

Edit: also, this is me ignoring for the sake of the discussion that the training is where all the energy use comes from.

AFAIK that’s no longer true now that uptake (read: it being jammed into everything) is much higher now.

It’s not about efficiency, your card, even though it’s very high end for consumers, still can’t run more than a medium-sized open source model with its paltry 24GB of RAM. An NVIDIA DGX B200 has 1.44TB of RAM for the GPUs, and can use up to 14.3kW of power. That’s what proprietary models like GPT-4o are running on.

So even though that hardware is likely much more efficient than yours per flop/s, it’s running a much larger, much more intensive model on it.

Really disappointed to see the image description used to provide content, then the description itself provided in the post. That’s not cute or funny, it’s making it less accessible for vision impaired users.

Then you aren’t trying hard enough friend, and it makes you seem like you’ve got an agenda.

Kind of ridiculous to suggest it’s impossible to make an account. If you really wanted to, there are plenty of ways. How do you think people make sock puppets?

Nice try movie executive!

fuck theo

Yeah I mean, mushrooms get lumped into the vegetable category most of the time and they’re a fungus!

I believe if you tell the downloader you have a Nvidia 10-series card then it’ll give you proprietary drivers that still work on newer cards. I have a 10-series and haven’t had these issued fwiw.

I think there’s absolutely a middle ground where someone is currently a danger to society, but they’re capable of rehabilitation. However, we absolutely need to continue that work on the outside once it’s safe for them to be released if we want to reduce recidivism of violent crime.

I’m not making an argument for or against it, just seemed really self-centred bestie. You could say the same thing about asylum seekers, though the obvious advantage is the cultural diversity they bring and, you know, being a decent human being.

Does every single thing need to provide an advantage to you, for you to support it?

Sure, we don’t build with stone anymore, but there are an incredibly large amount of buildings and monuments built with stone that would last thousands of years, not merely hundreds. That’s really good news about Mt Rushmore though, I’m glad that eyesore won’t be around for many years to come.
