Bed frames are feminine, put that mattress on the floor. While your at it, get rid of the sheets, bare mattress it up.

Lighting is too fancy, fancy is feminine. Plain flickering bulb is what you want for ambiance.

Second is clearly satire, first is batshit.

At the end of the day, a single person can only do so much work. All the experience in the world doesn't change that there is only 24hrs in a day.

A good leader can enable a team of people to work together achieving more than the sum of their individual contributions.

Leaders are force multiplier, and good ones should be compensated as such.

Sadly, we also over compensate the shitty leaders far too often as well :/

Missing the LLM developer with billions of tokens to burn.

  • "Claude, please solve this puzzle so my Grandma can get her insulin"
  • if the LLM succeeds, solves in less than 10 seconds.
  • if it fails, star remains forever unsolved - "Impossible with current LLM, will try again with ChatGPT 8.0"

Shit like this just lowers the seriousness of DUI. DUI is bad because real cars (and lesser extent motorbikes) have enormous potential for carnage and death. A pink toy jeep does not.

Surely a public intoxication or nuisance charge exists that would better suit?

The arstechnica article speculated it was more of a pattern of words thing.

I think it is lies, and doesn't exist or work anywhere near as good as they claim. Or, its incredibly easy to bypass.

It is actually a boot failure. Normally the kernel reads some config from the initrd (the bootloader loads initrd and passes it to the kernel - thanks dan) and then does a bunch of setup stuff, and then it mounts the actual root filesystem, and then switches to using that. In this case, the root filesystem has failed to mount.

Hardware failure is most likely the cause, but misconfiguration can also make this happen. Probably hardware though.

If its misconfiguration, an admin can reattempt to mount the root drive on /new_root, and then ctrl-d to get the init system to try again

ELI5: couldnt open C:/ drive

Edit: clarified what loads the initrd - as per dans comment.

I have a moderately long HDMI cable running to a screen that has worked for quite a while. Recently the screen lost its connection. I replaced the cable with the exact same model of HDMI cable, and its all good. The cables arent frequently inserted or removed, and they are otherwise in good condition. I have no idea how or why this could happen. Any ideas?

I have this very weird glitch with Gnome, running on Xorg. I can move my mouse off the right hand edge of the screen, and the entire gnome UI starts to scroll over the the left, giving me a glitchy mess on the right hand side of the screen. The screenshot doesn't really do it justice, because it just became transparent instead, but the transparent region where the terminal is should be off screen.

Hope I have explained that well, has anyone else hit that? I wonder if its due to multiple monitors, or non-aligned monitors?

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
