My only hope is that more and more Americans realize there is value in funding federal programs and keeping them independent.

Its not a matter of whether or not to hire, in my opinion. It’s just a known issue that education got screwed during covid. The students have been performing worse and its led to less educated/adapted adults graduating from high school and college.

If you don’t acknowledge there is an issue, then you can’t do anything to help it.

Education got hit hard during Covid. I’m just starting to see some rebound in quality of students, but schools themselves haven’t recovered either. So students are struggling and schools aren’t in a good spot to help cover the gaps.

It happens periodically with any digital store because that’s the risk with being leased content from a digitial storefront. They may, due to licensing issues, remove content or the store may shutdown preventing you from accessing your content.

These are the kinds of things I bring up when talking to people about using LLMs. Sure for short simple logic the room for ambiguity is small, but for more complex systems, the benefit of programming it is to be explicit. Prompts != programming as they don’t produce deterministic outputs and can lead to faulty outcomes (even if they run).

There are many quantum resistant encryption algorithms - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography#Algorithms

As for quantum computers, there is some debate, but a number of companies have “quantum computers” but it’s arguable if they work correctly and they have limited Q-bits meaning they can’t do anything of significance yet.

This isn’t the first game to do this, this has been happening for a while. Switch had a number of games where you only got a digital download code and PC games were doing that for years before they stopped having physical releases.

There was some recent reports estimating 2028 or even 2029, probably because you can’t make a device better than the ps5 at current prices.

Either new technology needs to come along or prices need to drop and that’s not likely for the next year or two.

You may want to check if that’s 90% of active utilization or things just holding onto the memory “just in case”. If your running CAD, gaming, and have containers actively running at the same time, then yeah 32GB may just be cutting it, but I would find it suprising that you’re actively using 90% frequently.

I guess more ram could mean not having to worry about spinning the containers up and down, but the only time I hit anywhere near 32GB is when doing heavy data workloads and those are times I’m not worried about running anything else.

Audiobookshelf, Its designed for audiobooks and its folder structure is unintuitive, but it’s got the best website and apps of all the ones I’ve tried (including kogma).

I messed around with a couple of different approaches (Calibre web, kogma, etc.), but the best all around experience I have had is Audiobookshelf. Kogma is probably better if just doing manga, but Audiobookshelf has worked the best for hosting comics/manga/ebooks. The only real annoying things is the folder structure. I’ve needed to use some scripts to reorganize/rename files so it handles them correctly.

Plus some fuckery by Trump and Republicans. Things like medicine are getting hit hard due to the US government not caring to fund things anymore.

Actually, pretty much everything on this list seems to stem from bad governmental polocy.

Thanks for sharing. Largely just commenting to share support due to the large amount of AI hate you’re getting. This seems like a real app solving real problems (although personally I use audiobookshelf for syncing even if it’s hit or miss on actual ebooks).

What do you recommend instead for $30-40?

Actually most job growth has been in Healthcare, a field that is very resistant to AI right now. So if you remove that I think the trend is even less significant (and probably not anything that holds up to much scrutiny).

Maybe it’s just Debian based systems, but last I tried (about a year ago), hibernate wasn’t provided out of the box and requires some serious work to setup. And that has been an issue for years.

Looking online it seems like secure boot is/was the issue - articles from 2025 seems to imply it may work now, but may require some additional steps to make work.

I mean hibernate is a broken mess on Linux, part of the reason Linux as a main driver never quite worked for me.

You can’t both “move slower with intention” and still consume the “move fast and break things” products.

If Europe is going to allow the big corporations to chip away at their corporations, then they’ll get the worst of both worlds; reliant on foreign technology with no in house capabilities.

I mean, there is a history of a lot of nations doing this.

Needing to report incidents isn’t being held accountable. They’re not facing any consequences for breaking the law.

I mean, it’s obviously the company. The issue is the government doesn’t want to actually legislate and determine how you address issues where there is prison time and or licenses get revoked.

Its also not a problem, it’s an abdication of responsibility. Either the government needs to take a stance or the cars shouldn’t be on the road. Seems like instead the government is willing to risk our safety rather than take any firm stance.
