I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I'm not disagreeing with you and I don't know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it's an interesting idea that you're not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

Is this skeleton jelly?

I'm surprised the comments aren't worse over there. The Phoronix comments section shares a striking resemblance to YouTube, but I had to go like 2-3 pages in before the chuds really started rolling in.

Oh my god, they finally quit it with the constant giveaways? I could not stand those and completely stopped watching the channel.

Yeah, the Dark Tower series was a big ol' DNF for me. I just wasn't really able to get invested in anything. I stopped at the part with the train.

Here's the CVE author's post on the issue if you'd like a more thorough explanation: https://maccarita.com/posts/idesaster/

Most of my open terminals are using 9 MiB, although one is using 17.

It's just faster and smoother when scrolling text, and all the work of shifting those pixels is pushed off onto specialized hardware that's much more efficient at it. I use alacritty which is a different GPU-accelerated terminal emulator and I'm very fond of it. It's not a huge deal, I just figure that if I have the hardware, I might as well use it.

You mean code completion that just parses a file into an AST and does fuzzy string matching against tokens used to build that AST? I would not personally classify that as AI. It's code that was written by humans and is perfectly understandable by humans. There is no probabilistic component present, there is no generated matrix, there's no training process, it's just simple parsing and string matching.

It's early and I'm tired and probably in a poor mood and being needlessly fussy, so I apologize if this completely misses the point of your comment. I agree that there's other stuff we've been using for ages which could be reasonably classified as "AI," but I don't feel like traditional code completion systems fit there.

That was my interest as well. I never liked the idea of hunting or using guns for self defense. I grew up target shooting, and it was great because it was a sport that a weak asthmatic kid with a flimsy ribcage could take part in. I don't really do it anymore because I got tired of being around other shooters and I don't really want to support the industry, but I miss it sometimes.

Yep, and it's still used in some new ones.
