Intel ANV Vulkan Driver Finally Exposes Pipeline Binary “VK_KHR_pipeline_binary”
Introduced back in August of 2024 with Vulkan 1.3.294 was VK_KHR_pipeline_binary as a pipeline binary extension to retrieve binary data associated with individual pipelines. The focus of this is to bypass the Vulkan pipeline caching mechanism and so applications can manage caches themselves. Finally today for Mesa 26.0-devel the Intel “ANV” open-source Vulkan driver has enabled this extension… ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Gemini liked your opinion very much. Here is how it countered:
1. The User Perspective (Untrustworthiness)The criticism of AI as untrustworthy is a problem of misapplication, not capability.
- AI as a Force Multiplier: AI should be treated as a high-speed drafting and brainstorming tool, not an authority. For experts, it offers an immense speed gain, shifting the work from slow manual creation to fast critical editing and verification.
- The Rise of AI Literacy: Users must develop a new skill—AI literacy—to critically evaluate and verify AI’s probabilistic output. This skill, along with improving citation features in AI tools, mitigates the “gaslighting” effect.
The fear of skill loss is based on a misunderstanding of how technology changes the nature of work; it’s skill evolution, not erosion.
- Shifting Focus to High-Level Skills: Just as the calculator shifted focus from manual math to complex problem-solving, AI shifts the focus from writing boilerplate code to architectural design and prompt engineering. It handles repetitive tasks, freeing humans for creative and complex challenges.
- Accessibility and Empowerment: AI serves as a powerful democratizing tool, offering personalized tutoring and automation to people who lack deep expertise. While dependency is a risk, this accessibility empowers a wider segment of the population previously limited by skill barriers.
The legal and technical flaws are issues of governance and ethical practice, not reasons to reject the core technology.
- Need for Better Bot Governance: Destructive scraping is a failure of ethical web behavior and can be solved with better bot identification, rate limits, and protocols (like enhanced
robots.txt). The solution is to demand digital citizenship from AI companies, not to stop AI development.

Why Republicans think it’s okay to starve poor people
Oliver Willis, Staff Writer - Daily Kos
Stephan: This is an accurate story of how it came to be that the Republicans stopped caring or having any interest in the wellbeing of voters. What surprises me, election after election, is why American voters don’t seem to comprehend this. The last ethical Republican president in my opinion was Dwight Eisenhower.

Fungi are miraculous. They provide us with food, alcohol, medicine, and the essential decomposition that keeps life going. And yet, their potential may be far greater. Fungi can be made into computer chips, bio-batteries, circuit boards, insulation, self-repairing building materials, and reactive clothing. They can even devour plastic, absorb heavy metals, and clean pollution. Make […]

Duchovná úvaha vo sviatok Pamiatky na zosnulých
Na sviatok Všetkých svätých, dňa 1. novembra, slávil saský kurfirst Fridrich Múdry (Kurfürst Friedrich der Weise) veľký sviatok vo svojom sídelnom meste, vo Wittenbergu. Stredobodom tohto sviatku boli staré kosti – ľudské kosti! Tieto kosti boli vystavené vo vzácnych nádobách. Údajne to boli pozostatky významných kresťanov, ktorí už dávno zomreli. Tieto kosti sa nazývali „relikvie”. Fridrich Múdry mal ich veľkú zbierku. K … ⌘ Read more

Rok po tragédii v Novom Sade
Pred rokom, 1. novembra 2024, sa na novo zrekonštruovanej železničnej stanici v Novom Sade zrútil prístrešok. Pod jeho troskami zahynulo 16 ľudí – medzi nimi aj deti. Dnes, o rok neskôr, mená obetí pozná celá krajina, no vinníci stále nemajú mená ani tváre. Zodpovednosť sa rozplýva v prázdnych vyhláseniach, v mlčaní a v cynizme tých, ktorí by mali niesť následky. Tragédia, ktorá otriasla krajinou, sa však stala aj impulzom – zrodil sa z nej občiansky pohyb, k … ⌘ Read more
