Yea, a basic understanding of the machine’s components and their function is usually expected.
Windows takes you firmly by the hand, expects you to be a good user and do as you’re told, whereas Linux expects you to take control and be in charge, with all the decisions that entails.
That’s kind of the most fundamental difference.

That sounds like you had difficulty determining the correct instructions. Given the wrong instructions, computers will do the wrong thing, and that’s OK. They’re not supposed to think, but do what they’re told.
I’ll admit that Linux still occasionally suffers from UI/UX issues, in that its not always obvious what the correct choice is in a given circumstances. A bit like Micro$lop trained their users for decades to completely ignore any and all error messages and just try what they were doing again, by making their error messages needlessly cryptic and borderline useless.

This sentence now verb. But yes! More drivers licences to the blind.

Or, and this may be a difficult concept for the Windows-brained to grasp, use an operating system that you don’t have to fight and beat into submission for it to do what you want and only what you want.
It’s your computer, why would you give control over it to anyone else?

What makes you assume this is bogus, when it’s been shown repeatedly that it can negatively affect people. Just because you’re not sensitive to it, doesn’t mean no one else is.

I recommend ring toss.

Let’s be honest, virtually every other country would have extradited him.
North Korea or China might’ve been other options, but hardly better ones. Norway maybe, but they had shown to also cave to American pressure by prosecuting the founders of pirate bay.
No great options, really.

Beer, yea mostly. Wine I feel is a bit hit or miss. The whites and rosé tend to be fine, the reds mostly taste like weird grape juice, though.

The alcohol industry will keep bitching about it the entire time.

What, anyone actually expected Drumpf to put in any effort? 🤣

Looks like it got a ram bar. Also what would deflect the bullet if it missed everything?

What’s the “worst” that could happen? It doesn’t work? Oh no, the biological/nuclear weapon doesn’t work!

chromatic abberation and the like in games

That bugs me so much, at least in first person. Chromatic aberration, lens flares and droplets on the lens are not a thing for the eye.
In third person we can talk about it.

I think two mindsets collide here.
OP thinks film grain is part of the process and thus part of the art piece and, as such, worth to be preserved.
To you film grain is an artifact of the process. The camera tries to capture what the eye would see, the grain is an error and, as such, undesirable.

Wat? What are you talking about?

And proves once again that Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux.

That’s what I was referring to with “which interface to present.”

Unlikely. The USB protocol requires one master and one or more slaves (or whatever less charged nomenclature you prefer). In all likelihood UEFI will blindly assume to be the master while Android and iOS require negotiation to figure out who’s boss and what interface to present.
Although given UEFI it might be possible to patch that functionality in.

Alignment with our goals. I’m not talking about biases, those are inherent to the training material.
Alignment refers to how well the network’s learned goal aligns with the intended goal.
The underlying issue is that there are several layers of indirection in the process. How well does the training data align with the intended goal? How well does the learned, internal goal align with the goal described by the training data? How well does the goal internal goal with what the network understands or goal to be?

We’re trying to teach an intelligence that understands us, maybe better than we assume, but that we don’t understand in turn. LLMs are not programmed. They’re selected for, so the process is more like growth or evolution, where we can exert some, but not full control.

I’m glossing over a ton of intricacies here. If you’re interested I highly recommend Robert Miles’ YouTube, where he published several videos on the different types of alignment and/or If Anyone Builds it, Everyone Dies if you prefer books. This isn’t just fear mongering or luddites opposing progress. These are people with a deep understanding of all the technicalities who came to the conclusion that this technology (maybe not LLMs specifically, but artificial intelligence in general) has the potential to create an intelligence vastly superior to our own, that employs ways of thinking that might as well be extraterrestrial and whose motives we cannot even fathom. And unless we’re absolutely, beyond the shadow of a doubt certain, that its goals perfectly align with our own, we absolutely shouldn’t try to create it. Because we’re very unlikely to get a second chance if we miss our first shot.
