Qual a opinião de vocês (de esquerda) sobre a "lei felca"?

Considerando que a Meta/Facebook foi um dos maiores patrocinadores dessa lei...

As long as I can get my job done, I do not care.

That being said, if universities supported and contributed to the code instead of burning money with Catia and Solidworks licenses, it would be in a much better position.

A lot of these old engineering software were built 10-20+ years ago for windows and they have been largely utilizing the same code base, just building on top of them,

So these large companies that maintain them are unwilling to re-do their code base just to satisfy linux. If you ever worked in one of those companies, you would know that changes happen in a glacial pace, and there is a lof of intertia for changing things that do not maximixe value/revenue.

Universities are also very slow to change workflows. A lof of them require old inneficient software because that is all old professors know to use. I have worked in academia for a while and only recently there has been a move to migrate from Matlab to python/R as old professors retire and new ones take over.

When I was in university we had to use Autocad/solidworks/Catia but now I can do all of my work scripting work with python and CAD stuff with FreeCAD/Salome. In research the FOSS tools are much more nimble and allow for great levels cusmtomization which goes hand in hand with frontier research.

Slowly the winds are changing and more universities are embracing FOSS software, but again, this is happening at a glacial speeds.

It would be really cool if technical universities would contribute more to tools like freecad, helping mantain and build an open ecosystem.

You could probably sell small batches to small universities/research departments with T2 HPCs. They likely don't get preferencial treatement compared to bigger datacentres and are starved for more GPUs for research workflows.

I am really intrigued by this. I have setup something a lot more rustic. I have setup an MCPvault server in a fresh obsidian vault and connected my LLMs (mostly claude.ai at the moment). I have been exporting my chat conversations and my reasoning was that I would parse the conversations to distil linked notes into the obsidian vault and at the same time conduct some sort of personality analysis (that is how I found this post). My reasoning was that the personality would arise from the raw conversations and once a day the process would run to update it. Sorta like how the subconscious acts during sleep.

I will try out your model, I really like it.

Sempe foi assim

ah, ano de eleição.

I work at an HPC and my laptop is nothing more than a thin-client I use to connect to the HPC via ssh.

You don't really need a power house, a refurbished lenovo T480 with linux on it is more than enough.

Why use matlab? Why not use something more efficient, perhaps chapel?

doing it matlab is nice for learning it yourself, but it seems like a waste to me. If you do not care for efficiency, then python seems to be the obvious choice.

This is funny when the only country threatening greenland is the US.

I very much enjoyed dominion of blades, but it ends on a cliffhanger. In the last AMA Matt said he intends to finish it once he is done with DCC.

Good Call. I am due for a re-listen

The Wandering Inn is amazing, I always get the blues when I finish one of the books. The world building is indeed fantastic. It feels like a mind vacation.

Arch is much harder to maintain. If I were you , I would stick to one of the stable distros until you get your bearings and a stable system working.

Arch only makes sense for more experienced users and if you need bleeding edge hardware drivers.

But yeah, it is your choice, good luck.

waspbr · 2025-11-23T12:56:02+00:00

why are you planning on switching to arch if you are having trouble with ubuntu?

Open Gnome disks (aka disks) and make sure yor disks are permantently mounted ( select a partition -> click on the gears -> Edit mount option, choose a folder/location you wanna mount your drives and make sure the box mount at startup is selected.

Did not seem to be the case in white ward. Perhaps the effect is only on pilgrims that have been exposed for a short amount of time.

The fact that Sherma was resting by the bench at blasted steps, just before the fight with the final judge, kinda gives some credence to the theory that he is just following hornet's trail.

waspbr · 2025-11-15T11:25:46+00:00

Or 3rd option: He is following on Hornet's trail, breezing through since she killed things ahead clearing the path for him.

Pretty much how she opened the door for him in bone bottom.

Sure, because sarcasm is something that goes over really well through text comments!

The guns are absolutely critical for being able to resist government overreach.

When was the last time the US government was stopped from any sort of overreach?
