@cas @hipsterelectron To be fair, ability to power down modem chips (Librem) and the need to explicitely pass audio samples to it (aka N900) makes security analysis easier and is a good thing.

@cas "youtube-dl" is right way to deal with youtube :-). And yes, if there are good youtube frontends other than that (I have my own scripting to preload selected channels), I'd like to know...

@foone Well, it should not be microsoft opensourcing, it should be copyrights expiring. We should not need their cooperation. And for 486, patents are expired, so open source 486-class designs are available. Too bad Linux now requires Pentium class :-(. Search for MISTer. (And yes, it would be still nice if Intel did the opensourcing).

@Linux Nothing is 100% closed source these days. And Jolla was more closed-source than just the blobs. Try not to mislead people.

@0xabad1dea I believe you misunderstood the challenge :-). They believe the data has some hidden pattern in it, and they are asking you to identify the pattern. Based on the data source, their assumptions are not completely crazy.

@monsieuricon Basically, language model maps text to probability. LLM is no different :-).

@monsieuricon I'd not say that's what LLMs should be good for. They should be good for... well.. language modelling. So text-to-speech, "please fix grammar in following text", "please add diacritics here" and they should improve translation. For question answering.... its miracle it works as well as it does.

@oleksandr People said that about plan 9. Seems like Linux is stealing some ideas, but probably not enough of them.

@mjg59 @griibor @ryanc If GPL3 components are replaceable,you are always free to replace them with versions that do _not_ constrain other things, right? It is easy for proprietary software to work against machine owners, but same problem should not exist for GPL3 software. (GPL2 has it.)

@fell I had that with SSD, too... thanks to singing capacitors :-). I'm sure audio driver could be improved to emulate that, but no, I don't miss that one.

@linmob @Tekchip I'm not sure why all the excitement about Jolla. Yes, it would be nice to have real competitor in mobile space. OTOH, Sailfish is even less open-source than Android. (Ok, it has less custom components than Android, but still...) (And... umm... Russia... umm...). If Android inside is good compromise, there are more interesting projects... Ubuntu Touch, Droidian. And there is more fun stuff, did you know about NuttX on PinePhone? https://github.com/lupyuen/pinephone-nuttx

@pocketvj @rmader Back cameras should be 16 and 20 MPix... I guess we'll learn what the real limits are when we get full drivers.

@rmader Does anyone have an idea why #oneplus6 has two back cameras with very similar parameters?

Reply to @rmader@floss.social
@rmader I was not sure which parts are missing. I am using Droidian, so downstream kernel, and I can't even figure out how camera is supposed to work there. Normally, debugging is required all over the place -- sensor drivers, i2c, soc input... and this has 3 different sensors, for a start :-(. I guess op6 has some kind of isp that would need libcamera support, but basic support should be possible without that. #OnePlus6 .
