What makes you believe this is about export controls rather than harvesting data?

Mass surveillance and all the other that gets associated with mass surveillance

What makes you believe he belives that?

The sentence does not state he believes the ID check is for export control purposes

In fact, earlier in the comment, he argues the ID check dates back to April

Because of this sentence?

> LLMs are not the first tech product that have been restricted by export controls.

If this is CSS only, then why does in need JS to run?

What if you do integer downscaling to 1080p on those 4k displays?

That's how most raytracing is done these days anyway. The game is rendered at a much lower resolution, the raytracing math is applied, and then it is upsampled to the target resolution.

If you set the target resolution to 1080p, not much changes in the render pipeline except the that final upscaling step. To get better quality, the lower resolution is bumped up so there is more data to work with for the upsampling, but the scaling performance can be very hit or miss depending on the game as the engine itself often can play a huge role in rendering performance.

As far as rendering the 1080p image at 4k, yea it works fine, but there will always be little artefacts that remain for those looking for them. 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for gamers today, but 4k is really nice for when you're not gaming as most online video is now made for dual use on televisions.

Perhaps, but lots of (older) Thinkpads are supported by Libreboot, so that cuts down on the binary blobs significantly.

When I went to the main article link [0] (which for some reason was linked from a Twitter comment), it said "Page is not supported"

It's also not on archive.org Wayback Machine it seems.

So can anyone please copy and paste the article contents here? Thanks.

Is there a central place where known hardware compatibility issues are documented?

Not as far as I know. One can look up a certain motherboard or laptop to check if it's compatible with Linux before buying it.

I still can't get over the fact that all electronics schematics is actually in reverse and everyone is still fine with that.

Could you explain? Most of what I work with seems non-directional, except in cases like Diodes and transistors.

> bash is everywhere

...except on systems like Alpine Linux and other such minimal distributions.

And what if you let a human expert fact-check the output of an LLM? Provided you're transparent about the output (and its preceding prompt(s)) ?

Because I'd much rather ask an LLM about a topic I don't know much about and let a human expert verify its contents than waste the time of a human expert in explaining the concept to me.

Once it's verified, I add it to my own documentation library so that I can refer to it later on.
