WINE via Crossover Linux has become very good. Also webapp versions of Office apps are mostly there and respectable if used in mixed environments.

WSL is okay but you are better going full Linux as host. Linux Mint is a good platform for most. Stable, keeping modern kernels updated, but not crazy bleeding-edge wastes of time.

You don't have to quit Windows but you can quit being hostage to Windows.

Great thread that illustrates the mess. Some AI generated steps that are nonsense (there are no settings as mentioned) then everyone mentioning contacting the carrier.

Lasercats that was briefly on the old theatre on Divisadero remains a favorite. This was like 15 years ago.

I realize this might be a trap but will bite anyway.

I would suggest you should be the person you would want as a resource and help but to others. Do it to genuinely be helpful and not transactional.

Others will notice and you will build a personal network.

Yes indeed. Thank you.

This article is a great example of the Strawman Fallacy. I suppose it's a method to generate traffic but I would argue a key aspect of servant leadership is being transparent that you are in a role that should collectively support and lead to enable and expand the team.

I feel attributing any sort of parental concepts belittles the meaning here.

I support these efforts and hope it keeps going.

There you go -

"is there a big amount of companies in a specific sector that are valued far above their returns". If that answer is yes, that means we are in a speculative bubble."

Pretty much.

Totally, I think this is more of what the general population are speaking around in discussions of "bubbles"

Okay - that is too extreme of a "bubble" definition for me. False dilemma.

So, then, I guess, nothing is a bubble for you. For me, a more reasonable definition is a large build-up of capital that, at some point, snaps or pops, then sits at a level much lower than the original.

If you take something like that approach of the "bubble" then you can have a more charitable discussion. The AI bubble discussion then is about if the current levels of investment and capital being dumped into AI will stay at the same levels or have a more dramatic dip to be more of the future run-rate, then you can see how people see the parallels of other "bubbles" and actually have more of a discussion I think.

My sense is most view this concept of the "bubble" as the assumption.

I appreciate the author trying to address this. The only issue is the author didn't define what 'pops' in the bubble.

The 'what' that pops, probably, IMHO, is the investment and resources ecosystem dumped, poured, thrown, redirected, etc. to AI.

Just like the .com boom, the costs and money thrown at AI are outsized and will 'pop" as it matures. A 'pop" and leveling down to something perhaps not so outrageous is coming.

As the author states, .com popped but left the Internet still around and expanding. AI is exactly that kind of bubble.

Used to love Synology and had a NAS from them, but it EOL'd and it was a shame since the hardware and drives were fine.

I went to TrueNas and have been extremely happy and never looked back.
