Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I'll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.
Thank you, that's useful info, I didn't know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!
Completely agree. Indeed it seems that they still try to bake its main theme in all the new soundtracks. I still listen to it every morning to get my energy charge!
Realized now that I double-posted this. You beat me... to the Punch!
Really embarrassing also for the journals that published the papers – and which are as guilty. They take ridiculously massive amounts of money to publish articles (publication cost for one article easily surpasses the cost of a high-end business laptop), and they don't even check them properly?

I see that too now with c148,but not with c149 or c147 for example. Maybe just some temporary glitch? I'd give it a day and see. Or maybe email the maintainers. Bummers that you can't skip directly to c149 without c148 first!
I still see them here:
As most who have already commented here, I'm somewhat unimpressed (and would expect more analytical subtlety from a scientist). Wittgenstein already fully dissected the notion of "free will", showing its semantic variety of meanings and how at some depth it becomes vague and unclear. And Nietzsche discussed why "punishment" is necessary and makes sense even in a completely deterministic world... Sad that such insights are forgotten by many scientists. Often unclear if some scientists want to deepen our understanding of things, or just want sensationalism. Maybe a bit of both...
I was reading some works – true pearls! – by Synge: his conference contribution Tensorial integral conservation laws in general relativity (1959/1962) and his book Relativity: The General Theory (1960). In these works Synge introduces an extremely interesting definition of four-momentum and of rotational momentum, based on two-point tensors. The definition is interesting because (1) it involves the full Riemann tensor, not just the Einstein tensor, (2) it includes the (or rather, defines a) four-momentum and rotational momentum of the gravitational field, (3) it obeys a conservation law as opposed to a balance law (the equation ∇⋅T=0 expresses in general just balance, not conservation).
The definition for rotational momentum is also interesting because it appears as the natural generalization of the one in Newtonian mechanics, which is based on the affine structure of its 3D space. Roughly speaking, in Newtonian mechanics we have (r-a)∧p, where a is a fixed point, r the point of interest, and p the momentum (density) at the point r. Synge essentially replaces the difference "r-a", which relies on an affine structure, with the geodesic distance between two points R and A in spacetime, through his two-point "world function". In his book he explains that general relativity requires the appearance of a reference point (a or A) also in the definition of four-momentum, whereas such reference point is superfluous in Newtonian mechanics.
OK this was a very poor summary, just to pique your interest. For details see Synge's conference contribution, and chapter VI, especially §4, of his book (refs below).
Bryce DeWitt even commented "Je suis tout à fait de l'avis du professeur Synge qui insiste sur le fait que ces fonctions de deux points se montreront très importantes dans le futur développement de la théorie de la relativité générale" on the conference contribution. Two-point tensors were quite fashionable in the 1960s, they are used in interesting ways also in Truesdell & Toupin's The Classical Field Theories (see Part F and Appendix III there).
Yet, these definition venues seem to have been abandoned today. Here are my questions to you: why? just for unfathomable sociology-of-science reasons, or because of physical-mathematical ones? Are there works today which further explore these venues?

A little advertisement for a new free online course about the foundations of data science, machine learning, and – just a little – artificial intelligence. It's been designed for students in computer science and data science, who could be uncomfortable with a head-on probability-theory or statistics approach, and who might have a lighter background in maths. The main point of view of the course is how to build an artificial-intelligence agent who must draw inferences and make decisions. As a course, it's still a sort of experiment.
https://pglpm.github.io/ADA511/
In more technical terms, the course is actually about so-called "Bayesian nonparametric density inference" and Bayesian decision theory.

Thank you for the explanation! – it puts that sentence into perspective. I think he put it in a somewhat unfortunate and easily misunderstood way.
"Bayesian analysis"? What the heck has this got to do with Bayesian analysis? Does this guy have an intelligence, artificial or otherwise?
Can't help imagining Saitama putting a definite end, without so much back-and-forth, to Mahito's hateful smirk. One punch is all that's needed.
What are the comparative and superlative of the adjective "fun"? I'd say "more fun" and "most fun"...
But I'm somehow slightly tempted by "funnier" and "funniest", which should be for "funny" though, not "fun"...
I didn't find anything about this in the main dictionaries.
It's reached 333 protesters! that's 1/3 of the way to 1000, it'd be cool if it kept on increasing :)
I wanted to tag SDF today. A #sdf came up, but it seems to refer to something(s) different. I also saw a #sdfdotorg.
Is there a tag that's sort of "standard" to refer to SDF? Standard in the sense that it's typically used by SDF members [Edit:] Mastodon users interested in SDF.
Personal websites often give an email address for contact, as a mailto:blah@blah.blah link. And the address is often obfuscated in a variety of ways to avoid its harvesting by spam bots.
If one wants to give one's Matrix address in a website, what's the correct way of writing it as link? is it recognized as any kind of MIME (like mailto:)?
And is Matrix-address spamming something possible and common? In this case, how should one obfuscate a Matrix address given in a website?
Lots of questions from a noob :) Thank you for your explanations!

In my desktop Firefox I use Cookie Autodelete to keep a whitelist of sites whose cookies won't be deleted. All other cookies are deleted as soon as all tabs for a particular site are closed.
Android's Firefox, from what I gather, only give you two choices: delete all cookies upon quitting (not tab closing), or save them across sessions.
Unfortunately the extension above does not work on Firefox Android, and I haven't found any other alternatives.
Do you know of any alternatives or other solutions, to get a behaviour similar to the desktop one? (And also: how come that extension is not supported on Firefox on Android?)
Cheers!
This generator brings to mind the endless walk of a lone pilgrim, lost in his thoughts and prayers.
I wonder how many in this community resonate with this.

We identify "life" with the capability of self-replication plus some other features. In other conditions, for instance on other planets, it could be possible for self-replication to happen in a way different from the RNA/DNA-based one.
I remember stumbling, years ago, on research and papers that studied this kind of possibility. But I'm having a hard time finding the old references or new ones.
Do you have interesting papers and research material to share about this? Thank you!

Edit: Deleting all cookies by hand seems to have solved the problem. Probably related to the bug pointed out by @trackd@lemm.ee in the comments. Cheers!
My browser has an extension that deletes cookies left by any website as soon as all tabs with that website's domain are closed. I can whitelist some of course, but Google's domains (*.google.com,*.gmail.com) are not whitelisted.
What's strange is that if I sign into Gmail, then close the tab or even Firefox, when I go into Gmail again I'm signed in automatically. I have no automatic sign-in functionality in Firefox, so this must happen because Google is saving cookies somewhere – or am I wrong?
So I don't understand with which URL these cookies are associated with – it can't be *.google.com, because otherwise they would have been deleted.
Can anyone enlighten me about this?
[Not sure I've been able to explain myself clearly; apologies and let me know in case.]
I have degoogled myself when it comes to email, running self-hosted email & calendar (not my own server). Did it two years ago, and up to now it has worked very well. I don't miss anything from Gmail and have all the features it offered, plus some extra ones (like deleting email attachments via an email client – Gmail never deleted them, just archived them).
It's good, however, always to have a backup email address that's not connected with your hosting service. Up to now I've been using Gmail for that, but in view of recent developments, I just want to ditch the whole Google business.
I've seen that many people use Protonmail for this, and that's what I'm considering. I'd like to hear about more possibilities and experiences though. Maybe there's another provider that's friendlier or more consumer/internet-freedom oriented?
