wow… how many phones did include a mini hdmi port

yeah yeah there are some with DP over USB C now but still

wow cosmic just got update so this will be a lie

just read the rules and saw rule 4… ok so

• Desktop Environment: COSMIC 1.0.4
• Distribution: EndeavourOS
• Terminal: foot
• Terminal font: Droid Sans Mono Nerd Font
• Terminal theme: twilight-dark with fg (c47c6d) and bg (1a1a1a) and 0 (bg) changed
• Wallpaper: Hoshimachi Suisei Streaming Assets
• Additional things: cutecosmic for qt platform theming.

it doesnt look like that on the desktop funnily, only on the screenshot

that was the only hard part

COSMIC for now has limited theming available (well, the interface is really simple so idk what more colors would you shove in) and limited customization. There’s COSMIC Tweaks but it only changes some panel and dock layout for now.

funnily i had to put gruvbox dark theme in the kate editor because i didnt make a theme for it

the theme im using in terminal.is twilight dark tho, just with bg and fg changed

looks like this to me in the raw image and its a bit annoying

note: for some reason theres like… corruption? on the png file, which doesnt show in the thumbnail. I have NO idea why.

The thing I see LLMs more useful for is searching.

Imagine asking a robot where a book with certain contents is. I wish for that instead of a robot that does my homework, because I suck a little with searching.

I also saw them useful for science: putting all selected, finetuned scientific articles and papers into an LLM to see what it can do on a specific scientific field. So imagine my surprise seeing this is only doable for private associations, since there is nothing “good” on the public web.

(That’s also why I see no point in using AI to, say, write an essay, just like I see no point in bringing a forklift to the gym. Sure, it can lift the weights, but I’m not trying to suspend a barbell above the floor for the hell of it. I lift it because I want to become the kind of person who can lift it. Similarly, I write because I want to become the kind of person who can think.)

This is one of the best quotes that I can grab from the page.

The second being:

Markus Strasser, an entrepreneur who tried to start one of those companies that’s like “we’ll put every scientific paper in the bag and then ??? and then profit”, eventually abandoned the effort, saying that “close to nothing of what makes science actually work is published as text on the web.”

and last one:

For instance, if you show humans computer code that has security vulnerabilities, they do not suddenly start praising Hitler. But LLMs do. So yes, I would worry about putting the nuclear codes in the bag.

The paper cited in it is amazing, in the sense of confusingly surprising. Gonna give it a read.

Preliminary PWA support only on Windows??? windows…
