It needs lots of energy.

The distribution is fine, maybe even good.

The politicking and project management around the distro has annoyed a lot of people.

I'd look forward to it more if we could stop the AI at that point.

Leaving the train at 1/3rd the speed it decelerated from?

What's really happening:

  • Barcelona want to use regen braking to reduce power usage of their metro - this is good.

  • Adding batteries to store all that energy for 30seconds at each stop is impractical in some way. It makes the train too heavy / They can't charge quick enough / The charging loss is too high. So, they go for a smaller battery.

  • The electrical grid gets the rest of the energy dumped into it, only to supply it back to the train when it accelerates again. They use the grid like a battery.

  • Some public relations person heard this and issued a press release - "Barcelona using metro as power station".

  • Every engineer working on the project simultaneously groans in despair. The resulting low frequency wave shakes the foundations of Sagrada Família, setting the construction back another generation.

...and everybody was shocked! Absolutely shocked.

Yeah. My theory is that the AMD GPU driver has swapped out too much to main memory from VRAM because anything with high VRAM usage seems to cause it.

I'm on an RX7600.

Flickering how?

Does the contents of the image change? Does it move? Do the monitors lose signal? Is there a rhythm / pattern to it? Does it flicker when you do something (e.g. move the mouse)?

Mine sometimes flicker when Chrome is loaded. When it happens part of the screen gets corrupted, and updates to the screen (e.g. moving windows) tend to make it happen. The monitors stay locked the whole time, but it will only effect one of my two screens.

I don't view free-use models as open-source. Open-source means I can rebuild it from scratch and I can't because I don't know what the training data is, or have access to it.

The scale is the difference and who is harmed.

Billion dollar company losing $100. Who cares?!

Billion dollar company stealing from all artists in the world. We care.

Points 2 and 3. Basically make restrictions on normal user accounts which are fine for humans but that will make bots swear and curse.

Unless you mean "what should the registration process be" I think API keys via a user account would do.
