What is the state of Nvidia and AMD GPU drivers on Linux? Maybe these techniques can finally give us reasonably good open source drivers which can be supported for a long time.

AFAIK Nvidia drivers are proprietary and AMD has a tendency to drop support quickly

To everyone saying SF-LA already has plenty of flights, consider the following benefits of trains:

- No need to worry about how much luggage I have. It will likely be a minimal charge if there is even one

- Trains are more comfortable with larger seats, usually

- Trains will make tickets cheaper, putting downward pressure on flight tickets as well (competition)

- Less security theatre and less worrying about what I can and can't carry

- You can still have good internet access

This is in addition to the environmental benefits of trains.

Perfect is the enemy of good. More sections and branches can be added. Piecemeal is how transportation infrastructure grows everywhere. It does not come to fulfill everyone's needs all at once.

>actually think this kind of low-information escapism about the future

I think this is called techno-utopianism. The "leaders" in technology have been doing this ever since the industrial revolution.

People sold the idea that street lights would fix "public morals" and eliminate crime.

Also see the progress trap and professor Simon Penny's work and what he calls the end of the anthropocene.

In Mechanical Engineering, this is 100% a thing with fluid dynamics simulation. You need to know if the output is BS based on a number of factors that I don't understand.

Liquid oxygen will oxidize anything it comes in contact with. You have to use specific metals for the connections and piping.

I don't know if strict import control is a good idea. Look up license raj in India.

It also added a lot of opportunities for corruption.

Has there been an Indian government that will be viewed favorably through western lenses?

- Pt. Nehru wanted Socialism and State Control.

- Indira Gandhi brought the Emergency and all that came with that

- PM Vajpayee conducted the nuclear test

- PM Modi is viewed as an authoritarian and fascist

I think these cover the most influential leaders over the last 75 years. Only PM Manmohan Singh stands up to such scrutiny.

The Guardian article is interesting because it helped untangle the idea of liberalism and democracy in my mind. How did they become so deeply linked?

I would've thought that Windows would be the next platform to port to given its larger user base.

Maybe the decision speaks to the distribution of Kagi users across operating systems.

Intel/Samsung are behind. That is a fact.

The question is, is it better to wage a massive war that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and many lives than to make an equal investment into the semi-conductor industry.

If anyone has heard Joe Armstrong's talk about how communication is limited by latency and data can only travel so fast. I think having smaller a partitions locally is an optimal point.

If You want global consistency then you'll have to either spend some time at runtime to achieve it, Have complicated protocols, fast networking, synchronized clocks.

Does this look like actor model (from Erlang) if you squint a bit?

Is the code written by the deepseek model?

I should probably give up on being a software engineer if it is.

How have 40% of the perpetrators escaped? Seems a little high given how sensitive of a subject school shootings are.
