Technology@lemmy.world•The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source.English
3·6 months agoI think you’re probably right. Microsoft seems less invested in winning an operating system battle at this point. They’re positioning services and abstractions that care less about the end device’s operating system, more so that they’re at least on that device.
I wouldn’t be surprised we see Microsoft “embrace” Proton and Wine in the next 5 to 10 years as it’s far easier to let “the community” predominantly handle supporting legacy Windows versions that have to handle it themselves.
They can’t suddenly lose that entire OS revenue machine however and would need to transition. But I doubt that Redmond are naive to the disruption Wine and Proton are having and how technical users are starting to jump ship.

Technology@lemmy.world•Recommendations for a top-of-the-line used/new laptop under $1000?English
11·7 months agoDepends where you live. Just look up regional PC builders and see if they do laptops. They pretty much all sell Clevo, often unbranded or you can request they don’t brand it.
eBay might be another option. Or a laptop refurbisher. I’ve picked up several refurbished Clovos over the years that were ex workstations of some big enterprise.

11·7 months agoCustom PC builder in a Clevo case or something is my guess. Chomsky but far easier to get better parts in them and since they’re for custom builders, they’re easy to open and upgrade etc.

Technology@lemmy.world•The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauceEnglish
18·7 months agoThat’s because it is. I worked at a place that did this kind of photography for businesses years back. That steak probably got 20 seconds on each side to sear, the grill marks and caramelization painted on, the juice around it some colored glue, the steam some guy’s vape; those sorts of things.
You’d never want to eat the photography subject afterwards.

Fuuuuck. I wouldn’t eat a sandwich made by this person let alone a web browser. Forking and mucking around in a code base they clearly don’t understand. I get the feeling they’re one of those

Technology@lemmy.world•Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge ProofsEnglish
111·9 months agoAI is a magical black box that performs a bunch of actions to produce an output. We can’t trust what a developer says the black box does inside without it being completely open source (including weights).
This is a concept for a system where the actions performed can be proved to those who don’t have visibility inside the box to trust the box is doing what it is saying it’s doing.
An AI enemy that can prove it isn’t cheating by providing proof of the actions it took. In theory.
Zero Knowledge Proofs make a lot of sense for cryptography but in a more abstracted sense like this, it still relies on a lot of trust that the implementation generates proofs for all actions.
Whenever I see Web3, I personally lose any faith in whatever is being presented or proposed. To me, blockchain is an impressive solution to no real problem (except perhaps border control / customs).

If so, they’ve just made themselves incredibly attractive to malicious actors since determining what is behind the URL will be harder to do safely and quickly for security controls.
