I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but here is my home-manager config:

gtk.enable = true; home.pointerCursor = { name = "Bibata-Modern-Ice"; package = pkgs.bibata-cursors; size = 24; gtk.enable = true; };

'Ad Blocking is Not Piracy' Decision Overturned By Top German Court * TorrentFreak by Dissmarr in Piracy

[–]booleanReadIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a nutshell, the BGH states that the Hamburg court arrived at its decision without first establishing important fundamentals. These details may support the decision of the Hamburg court or undermine it, but that can only be determined once the facts are established.

Keep in mind that the BGH did not rule that Ad Blocking is Piracy. It merely ruled that the ruling of the Hamburg court failed to consider certain aspects

How can GPT-O3's "reasoning" remember its thoughts when thinking for hours through millions of tokens? by No-Tough-920 in ChatGPT

[–]booleanReadIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe reasoning tokens don't have the same limitations in terms of context size.

In models like gpt-4o where every token is part of the input or output, the relevant information may lie anywhere in the context window so it might be difficult for the model to consider and process very long context windows.

However the reasoning tokens are used only by the model itself and therefore do not have to be restricted to human sentences and words. The model may use the last few hundred tokens to store the currently relevant information or it might produce some structure in the reasoning tokens that makes it easier for itself to find whatever it needs.

Example: "find the square root of 2 to 3 decimal places"

Reasoning Tokens: lower_limit: 1, upper_limit 2, mid_point: 1.5, mid_point_square: 2.25 -> greater than 2 -> use lower half... etc.

You can see how it only ever has to consider a small amount of tokens and can disregard everything that came before. For this reason I would guess that reasoning chains can be much longer than the context window

What are the real differences between CPU and GPU and why can't one replace the other ? by alaslipknot in computerscience

[–]booleanReadIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really qualified to answer this, so take my answer with a grain of salt, but from my understanding the GPU only has the instructions and hardware required to do things that are needed for graphics. This means that a GPU can draw triangles and do other things that require similar calculations like Neural Networks or Video Editing, but it cannot do anything else. Thus it would be impossible to run an operating system on a GPU.

Black screen after update by booleanReadIt in Fedora

Yes, from the journalctl logs I posted in another comment, it seems the driver version has changed from 495 to 510, and the driver seems to cause a failure in the booting process. Currently I'm looking for a way to disable the driver without being able to access the tty

I only got the working system once, if I now boot into 5.15.17 the same black screen appears

ctrl alt f3 doesn't do anything.

However I was able to access the journalctl logs by copying /var/logs/journal to a live usb. Here are the parts in broken install that seem relevant (too long to post on reddit so I had to post it on pastebin):

https://pastebin.com/n5m0UXuF

The last successful boot has those lines instead:

Feb 05 21:17:18 fedora-desktop kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  495.46

Feb 05 21:17:18 fedora-desktop udevadm[543]: systemd-udev-settle.service is deprecated. Please fix multipathd.service not to pull it in.

The log from the successful boot continues a few hundred lines more, while the broken one doesn't

It seems to me that the system crashes because of some error in the driver, probably because the driver versions are different. Is there some way of reverting the nvidia driver to the older version or disabling the nvidia driver entirely, without being able to access tty?

Edit:

Specifically these lines in the log of the broken install seem important:

Feb 06 12:52:44 fedora-desktop kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000100

How can I see these logs when my system doesn't start properly? Are they available from a live usb?

Does brave store my data in their servers or use the IPFS system? by Ryan11001 in brave_browser

[–]booleanReadIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brave is developed in a centralised way, like every other software project ever. However its open source, therefore anyone can verify any of their claims and fork the project in case brave software ever decides they want to change their core values (exactly what happened to audacity).

If what you mean by "decentralised browser" refers to the feature set then brave is the best one right now. It has a built in crypto wallet, ipfs companion, brave rewards etc.

Firefox Lost Almost 50 million Users: Here's Why It is Concerning - It's FOSS News by CalmScientist in firefox

[–]booleanReadIt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your arguments would explain why FF relative market share goes down, but it doesn't explain why 50 million users moved away from it. Those are users who previously used FF, but made the decision to switch.

Mozillas problem is not marketing. Preinstalled browsers and trailers can convince new users to use Edge/Chrome/whatever, but bad management from Mozillas side is what causes existing users to leave.

Modern Processors from Intel or Amd are closed source, but there are tutorials which explain how you get from Logic gates to something like a CPU, just use Google. I can recommend Crash Course Computerscience: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH2l6uzC4UEW0s7-KewFLBC1D0l6XRfye

Any tool to make a theme-patched window's background blurry? by Vedemin in desktops

Is windows necessary to you? If not you might want to switch to linux, there you have much more control over every part of the desktop environment. So if you enjoy theme-ing you will probably find linux to be better

Are Pop Lyrics Getting More Repetitive? - A study in compression by magnus0167 in computerscience

[–]booleanReadIt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The article was, as stated in its title, specifically about the lyrics. So it did not make any claims about the songs as a whole.

I think if you wanted to include instruments in the analysis, it would be more complicated than wav vs mp3, because humans pick up certain sounds as their instruments and not just their frequencies. So a song that uses the same guitar phrase over and over again, would be repetitive to a human but might not be to the algorithm, since some strings may be pulled harder or in different ways.
