  • When I made the first leap from dual-booting Mint / Windows this is what I did. As someone else said, there does remain some "artifacts" after unless you know what partitions to remove, for me it was a fucky bootloader/GRUB that still retains the Windows EUFI and BIOS menus, etc. But it works.

    A few months ago after more than a year of working fine, after an update (I assume kernel, as I really don't use that PC in a way to have fucked it up like that) something tripped/screwed with SecureBoot, though it was always disabled. It would only boot if I navigated to the BIOS through those stupid menus to clear the keys and reboot.

    That's what pushed me to just do a full install, and I'd wanted to try KDE anyway. Just from my personal experience, a "native" install is just so much smoother!

  • More clarification in this article:

    "But, that's not actually what happened. Never mind the fact that $300,000 won't buy you anywhere close to 512 H800s (those estimates are based on GPU lease rates not actual hardware costs), the researchers aren't talking about end-to-end model training.

    Instead, it focuses on the application of reinforcement learning used to imbue its existing V3 base model with "reasoning" or "thinking" capabilities.

    In other words, they'd already already done about 95 percent of the work by the time they'd reached the RL phase detailed in this paper."

  • Somehow Voyager does have the best "feeling" intro of the Trek series.

    I'll counter that as much as I have learned to accept the reasonings for the theme for 'Enterprise', I still think it might be the worst theme of just about any show ever. And then they added the country twang around season 3...
