Remember, for every paid SaaS, there is a free open-source self-hosted alternative

CAD. Free solutions compared to commercial ones (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion360, Onshape) are like comparing Photoshop to an open source Paint clone.

I think you may like Expeditionary Force series, there is quite a bit of what you are looking for.

I guess Asimov Foundation series would also be a good candidate for world building.

Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn't Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.

Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That's 100%.

Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.

Crypto as currency = good.

Crypto as investment = bad.

First one is technological progress, the other is a Ponzi scheme.

Yesterday I've spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?

As a mechanical engineer - there is no serviceable free CAD. The only thing you can hope for is Linux compatibility - and you have 100% of that with Onshape only (cloud based).

I remember that in pre-school in around 1990 we made clay ashtrays for father's day. My father did not smoke but they told me to make one anyway...

I skimmed the paper. As you said, they made a ML model that takes images and traditional risk factors (TCv8).

I would love to see comparison against risk factors + human image evaluation.

Nevertheless, this is the AI that will really help humanity.

Nothing is happening in Norway. Source: I live in Norway.

I've met only a handful people that use Linux on their desktop, plus some developers that use it at work.

Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won’t see any issue with it.

I guess they will anwser such calls with AI to get a summary anyway...

Great points overall. I guess previous generations thought that a hand-written letter cant be replaced by a digital one, yet here we are.
