That's not a translation problem, so LLMs are terrible for it.

Always use the right tool for the job. If there are a lot of nails to be hammered, you need a guy with a hammer.

Two years ago I would've said that this is probably nothing. But the ukraine war started just like this, with military exercises coming closer.

Any task that can be expressed as mostly translation is a good task to try with an LLM.

And you know what? Stakeholders tend to love LLMs, so have fun with your complicated problems while I build them by using the ancient technique of slapping some boilerplate together and combining it with the new ways of pasting error messages into chatgippity.

As you said, proper google services instead of microG. It's been a bit since I used it, but it wasn't great back then.

I'm on X and every time I launch a game I haven't played in a while, there's a high chance that it will have low FPS, stutter or just straight up won't work anymore. This isn't about starfield, it happens with every single game I play. Titanfall 2 is a recent example. It runs better on my steam deck than it does on my PC with a 1070 Ti. It used to run well about a year ago.

If the proton version didn't change, the issue is always the nvidia driver. But since I don't know when it broke, I have to try a few different versions to find one that works well with that game, which might break others.

It was a similar story on windows, I used to just not update the driver unless I absolutely had to.

It's been a while since I had an AMD card, but there was only one time when I saw a driver regression and my friends with AMD cards also don't have any issues. They're on windows, but I assume that this aspect transfers to linux with AMD just like it does for nvidia.

Proprietary nvidia driving well?

I'm currently considering buying an AMD GPU just so that I don't constantly have to troubleshoot the nvidia driver when I want to game.

Have you seen the surface book? It could have twice the battery capacity if they just put more batteries into all the empty space.

The "large amounts of money" part only applies when you work at SAP or far enough away from them.

I do SAP development writing ABAP and making forms.

SAP would go bankrupt because their core product is written in an internal language that's ridiculously complicated and takes decades to fully learn.

The businesses would keep using their systems for many years and eventually migrate to better solutions.

So the world definitely won't end for me either.

Do you have location history enabled? If so, that's why the play services use your location periodically.

It might not be doing that when the device is sleeping after that update, maybe that's intended.

But that's a manual process. It would be nice to monitor the federation status of all servers and slap an algorithm like K-Means on that to find clusters and outliers.

You could then decide which ones to autonatically federate/defederate based on that data.

I'm going to look into that, maybe I can write the part that gathers the data.

I'd call it flatswitch.

I just use debian for my ventoy. But all you really need is a proper partition manager.

You can use tailscale for that, it took literally 1 minute to set up for me and is completely free for use cases like this.

In that case, go to whichever doctor will see you first.

You can also call pharmacies to find out if your medication can have side effects like this.

Entropy says no.

Energy likes to be heat and the only way to get heat energy out of something is by having a temperature differential. ACs spit out air that's hotter than the environment so you could theoretically turn some of that back into useful energy, but the cost of doing that outweighs the benefits.

Numpad * and / are good for that, I touch type but always have to look at those.

Ah yes, gotta love /company/product_abc table names.

I read that as either "I don't have premium" or "I can't run this data through chatgpt for whatever reason".

Free chatGPT is viable for writing scripts in any case.

Good luck trying to install tesseract and a deep learning framework in termux.
