  • Making art and writing just happens to be easy to automate with neural networks and machine learning, neither of which was originally researched for the purpose of replacing artists and writers.

    Good luck disassembling a ship with a neural network. And maybe do some research about the difficulties of application-specific robotics.







  • This indicates that the PinePhone is encountering issues with the anx7688 modem driver and is receiving a Hard Reset (HARD_RST). The “idiot firmware is bored” is likely a humorous or sarcastic remark about the perceived quality or stability of the modem firmware causing this issue.

  • Before installing Arch on a USB flash drive, I disabled ext4 journaling in order to reduce disk reads and writes, being fully aware of the implications (file corruption after unexpected power loss). I was confident that I would never have to pull the plug or the drive without issuing a normal shutdown first. Unfortunately, there was one possibility I hadn’t considered: sometimes, there’s that one service preventing your PC from turning off, and at that stage there’s no way to kill it (besides waiting for systemd to time out, but I was impatient).

    So I pulled the plug. The system booted fine, but was missing some binaries. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use pacman to restore them because some of the files it relied on were also destroyed.

    This was not the last time I went through this. Luckily I’ve learned my lesson by now
