This was a super easy tutorial/series I used to install Gnome on Archlinux

They scared me into converting my Window's desktop to Archlinux. It runs 5x faster now and doesn't crash anymore.

Average life expectancy doesn't mean most people died in their 30s. Adults often lived into their 60s or 70s during that time, but high infant mortality rates drastically lowered the average.

My understanding is that querying an LLM does not use any more energy than a regular request over the internet. The massive amount of energy usage comes from training new LLMs, not using existing ones.

Thanks. It seemed appropriate as many of these kids first memories are of their parents sanitizing groceries with clorox and having face masks wrestled onto them.

Millennial parent here. I can't access the article, but I call my kid's generation "Covidians". Doubt that will catch on though. People are already calling them "Gen Alpha"

I was promised tiny mouse-sized tusks. Where are the tusks!

Ah, I was wondering what the next tulip was going to be. LLMs were starting to look a bit stale.

I didn't think of that. Good point.

My maybe smaller farms are more isolated from each other. For example, a single farm with 100,000 chickens gets infected, and we lose 100,000 chickens.

If instead we have 100 farms with 1,000 chickens each, and half the farms get infected then we only lose 50,000 chickens

Didn't most of us know Trump was going to win before it was announced? It looked obvious that Trump won by 1:00am eastern time that Wednesday. That was more than 4 hours before the projected winner was announced.
