Thanks for the corrections.

Ahh. Thanks for this insight.

It certainly does.

Until last week, you absolutely NEEDED an NVidia GPU equipped with CUDA to run all AI models.

Today, that is simply not true. (watch the video at the end of this comment)

I watched this video and my initial reaction to this news was validated and then some: this video made me even more bearish on NVDA.

Edit: corrected and redacted.

Even if they get banned, any startup could replicate their work if it is truly open source. The best thing about their solution is that it breaks the CUDA monopoly that NVDA has enjoyed. Buy your puts when NVDA bounces because that stock is GOING DOWN. There’s no world where a company that makes GPU’s is worth more than both Apple and Microsoft. It’s inevitable.

I’d go with NixOS in impermanence mode coupled with home-manager and a NixOS service that does the backup “cron job” that another poster talked about (just in case).

Even if she somehow managed to brick the system, you could completely restore it within minutes to the EXACT state you left it in using just these three or four Nix tools. Hell, she could even do it herself by rebooting and selecting a previous config at the start screen. All she needs to do is be able to press down and enter.

home-manager for NixOS has escaped your notice. ALL of my dot files are declared in my nix-config.

Furthermore, this module would likely complete the possibility of building a grandma-proof immutable OS complete with immutable home folders: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Impermanence

Thanks.

Edit: Not sure who’s downvoting me for asking reasonable questions.

Doesn’t the new Chinese model just released actually do abstract reasoning?

DeepSeek-R1 leverages a pure RL approach, enabling it to autonomously develop chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, self-verification, and reflection—capabilities critical for solving complex problems.

To my untrained self, that sounds like reasoning.

I’d like to see them hire some formal methods people to at least formally verify crucial parts of it.

It might actually also be good to analyze it with an LLM to identify any hidden problem areas.

I’m interested to hear why my idea is probably foolish as well, though.

Ok.

To answer your rant: Morals are a social construct and can change based on situation. In other words: Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I didn’t see where you asked us to write a paragraph where one word would suffice….But, I suppose I can write you a few more sentences to appease you.

Yes. There are many situations where violence is literally the only solution. For example, violence against those committing genocide against you is actually just self-defense.

Yes violence is sometimes the only answer.

Edit: in response to your original, much better title (that was 100% likely censored by the neolib respectability police running world.)

Vote with your wallet. Boycott rent seeking companies that lock away their IP and charge money for access to it.

For example, FOR ADOBE TO DESERVE MY MONEY EVERY MONTH, 100% OF THEIR TECHNOLOGIES SHOULD BE OPEN SOURCE.

The only rent I happily pay for is a good VPN.
