On an unrelated note, is there a way to share some negative feedback on systemd projects without incurring significant hit to karma?

[abenga → egorfine]

Do novel issues get a negative reaction? Retreading old grievances is pointless, but I think if you have a reasonable new gripe (that's not dae hate systemd like me?)you would be just fine.

[egorfine → abenga]

Thing is, old grievances keep recurring here and there in systemd projects without being resolved. But I agree, wining for ten years is futile.

Compliance is the second most important feature they have to reveal, seriously?

Especially given how notoriously bad are the EU AI regulations.

> badly need AI systems that are open and privacy-respecting.

There are plenty AI systems that are open and privacy-respecting. In fact, any model you run on your own hardware is privacy-respecting. And open, for whatever that means.

Given that the second!! goal is to be compliant to EU AI regulations, which are incredibly vague.

That timeline is just for the preliminary hearing on potential committee members.

No sarcasm, sorry.

Can anyone explain to a non-python developer why python infrastructure is so much broken around the version management?

It looks to me that every new minor python release is a separate additional install because realistically you cannot replace python 3.11 with python 3.12 and expect things to work. How did they put themselves in such a mess?

[cpburns2009 → egorfine]

Python code rarely breaks between minor version releases in my experience. Python 3.5 introduced the `async` keyword (PEP 492), and Python 3.7 changed `StopIteration` handling in generators (PEP 479).

Deepseek just told me this:

To measure exactly 6 liters using a 12-liter and a 6-liter jug:

1. *Fill the 12L jug completely.* 2. *Pour water from the 12L jug into the 6L jug until it's full.*

After this process, the 12L jug will have exactly 6 liters left.

> K80 - the drivers were one of the most painful tech things I've ever had to endure

Well, for a dedicated LLM box it might be feasible to suffer with drivers a bit, no? What was your experience like with the software side?

Imagine how much regulations they can produce for that amount of investment. It's gonna be a true marvel of legislation art.

They'll create the most expensive PDFs and that's not even their final words.

At least it’s more money than was needed to buy the US government lmao.

Potholes are political problem, not technical.
