This is an interesting article, but I can only think of how current tech corporations would be absolutely drooling over the AI trained on financial transactions named Charlie—and very little would likely prevent them from getting their hands on it in the long term.
But, as always, I hope I’m just being paranoid. Best of luck to old TimBL—he’s revolutionized the world once; why not again?
Yeah, Gentoo is really tough to use if you’re not somewhat familiar with Linux, it’s ins and outs, and its general ecosystem. Even the handbook assumes a lot of knowledge. But when you get it operating… boy is it rewarding. It’s like difficult hike—you’re wrung out, but you’re stronger from it in the long-run, and the view is amazing.
You know, I’d recommend starting with Arch, actually. It’s got challenges of its own, but a manual Arch install can help familiarize yourself with the Linux install process in general, and can help ease you into the Linux-from-Scratch-with-training-wheels that is Gentoo. And the documentation (ArchWiki) is famous for how helpful and informative it is. It’s definitely better than the Gentoo Handbook on that front!
It’s not gentoo late, bro!
This is very true. There are even options where you don’t have to touch the command line, and just work no problem.
That said, I love tinkering on my Linux machine. It elevates it from a tool to a hobby for me, which I love. It adds a spark to my life! But hey, not everyone is like me, and that’s just fine (may be for the best!).
Love this. This is the kind of stuff sophisticated ML models were born to do!
