You are correct, you can do a lot of stuff in Linux already, but not everything. If you're just starting it may not be that big of a problem, but if you're already accustomed to certain tools, switching to an alternative may be very troublesome, especially if you have paying customers for this type of stuff and risk missing the deadlines or delivering an inferior result because the alternative isn't as good yet or the compatibility layer decides to break at the most inconvenient moment.
Also I don't know about DACs, but from my understanding it's a coin toss whether the audio interfaces will work properly on linux, snd sometimes you need to record stuff. I haven't seen any big manufacturer providing linux drivers for the interfaces, and AFAIK some pro-level interfaces only work only with the proprietary drivers. Again, not that big of a hurdle if you're just starting, but if you already paid 1000$ for an interface and it turns out to be incompatible, it's a bummer, to say the least
Well, mac is the best, but windows isn't that far behind in this niche. And yeah, I'm not throwing away my Ryzen 7700/RTX3060 build and spending one fuckton on mac hardware just to get rid of windows, thank you
I use Reaper, and Reaper itself works fine. It also has native support for Linux. I will try this specific cracked version of Izotope though, thanks. Hopefully I'll have better luck with this version than with the one I tried before
Audio production/editing. You can switch to mac but not to linux at the moment. Well, you can do on linux like 80% of what you can on windows by using Wine, but certain apps and plugins are incompatible right now. The one that holds me back is Izotope RX suite, which is a de-facto standard for audio restoration/clean-up, and it's all because of their drm (even the cracked versions have the drm merely bypassed, but it still crashes during the initialization, at least it was like that when I last tried it a couple of months ago).
I don't think this really is whataboutism. If I responded with, for instance, "But ChatGPT is way less energy efficient and wastes tons of water", then it would be. But I believe I'm comparing apples to apples. And I'm not singling out specifically ChatGPT or Gemini or what have you, I'm saying that every LLM suffers from the same problem, whether it's from USA, China, Russia, Argentina, Mongolia or Uganda. ChatGPT and Gemini are just big and well-known examples. Also DeepSeek is quite new, at least it's popularity is, so we'll have to wait and see whether these "but DeepSeek..." comments will appear.
Yeah, the whole article reads like "China says good things, but actually, they are just bad things in disguise! Chinese AI is cheaper and in some cases better, but actually its all a master plan for world domination! Remember, guys, China bad!!!"
Of course the software created in China would intentionally try to follow Chinese laws. Just as American software follows the laws of the US. However, China made their models open-source, so people can tinker with them and (possibly) make a fork without the censorship, and run it locally without any data being sent who knows where. While ChatGPT, Gemini and all the rest are closed-source, and you have zero control over them, so you can't even hope to circumvent the propaganda that's built into those models.
But yeah, Tiananmen square 1989, China bad, let's all stop thinking about anything
DeepSeek is designed to follow Chinese state propaganda. ChatGPT is designed to follow American oligarchy propaganda. Each side pushes their own biases. Where is the false equivalence?
Also I wasn't meaning to instill hopelessness or indifference. On the contrary, I tried to point out that you should be equally as mad at OpenAI/Google/the rest of the western AI companies as you are at the DeepSeek. The fact that people are only mad at China and not at the megacorporations in the west does, imo, indicate their biases.
Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan "Ждем с победой" ("Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory" or something like that. Here's one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).
The poster says "с Победой!", literally "With the Victory". Most likely relates to the victory in WWII in some way, either awaiting it or congratulating on it.
If it's the only option, then the democracy is already dead and voting for Biden is pointless. Democracy entails that the government represents the will of the people. And you're suggesting that because some old fart decided to cling to power, everyone should stop demanding that their will is represented and start kissing that old fart's ass. "That's the only person you can vote for to preserve democracy" is a self-defeating statement...
They increased players' attack and defence a little, probably by 10% or something. They didn't remove any bosses or even bosses' attacks, they didn't replace standard dodge with Bloodhound step or do anything drastic. I don't understand what you are so mad about
Adding to what all the others said, majority of those who cross the border on foot are asylum seekers, and even if they don't have documents, they are still in the country legally until the court makes a decision on their asylum claim.
I also live in Russia, and in my experience certain VPNs just get blocked by the ISP. Like, I just can't connect to certain VPNs, the connection either gets stuck in an infinine loop or fails with an error. But some other VPNs still work without any problems.
Plus, since the beginning of this month, it's prohibited to promote/advertise "means to avoid blocked internet resources", i.e. proxies/VPNs/etc, so it can be called "partially restricted"
I meant that these things aren't as noticeable from outside of the country. Like, foreign news outlets probably won't report on it much. Plus, eggs are more of an exception because of sudden shortage and prices rising rapidly. For most of the other goods the price grows more gradually and isn't as obvious. Like in that metaphor about slowly boiling a frog.
Another problem that is noticeable from inside the country (at least by those affected by it) is that certain medications are vanishing from the pharmacies because they are no longer imported and they were never produced locally, or the local production is insufficient to meet the needs. I don't know the full list, but the stock of ADHD meds is definitely low, and I've heard from friends that they had to switch to a different antidepressant due to shortages.
