I recently got a Thelio Mira. Do I have to worry about this MS secure boot UEFI issue I've been reading about the past few days?

Same question for my old laptop (Lenovo x220, originally Windows and now pop os).

I see, I'm just a novice at Linux and this seems complicated. Is there a good tutorial somewhere? Otherwise I might just disable secure boot

So my old Lenovo x220 that started as Windows and since then I wiped and installed pop os with full disk encryption is going to have a problem?

I've set it up on my home computer for testing with code generation. My main tasks are machine learning projects, simple web apps, etc. I've connected it to the continue.dev extension in vs code and tried some of the smaller code models. I'm going to do some testing to find what completion models work the best, then fiddle with chat models. Agent mode was bad with the default small models, but then again I've never been impressed with agent mode even with GitHub copilot using 4o.

I would create my own Groundhog Day set up. Start learning task A. After 47 hours, fly around the earth to rewind time. Learn for another 47 hours. Repeat process. Learn infinity tasks and become a master at everything. On the last loop win the heart of Andie MacDowell.

As a child, I loved the x files. I wanted a cool name for AOL. Thought I was clever picking the character Deep Throat, I was so cool. Didn't realize till later what it also meant.

If we are going into books, the Hyperion series should have ended at 2. The first 2 books are so good! Books 3 and 4 are terrible.

So episodes 1 through 4 then stop watching?

 

Hi, I've been fiddling with PopOS the past year on an old laptop and I like it. I'm getting ready to convert my windows 10 desktop to Pop and leave windows behind entirely, before I do I want to be sure I understand a few security concepts.

I've read suggestions that say don't run as root, create a separate user account and only use root when necessary. Do you give that user account sudo privileges? If so, is that any different from just being root?

Also I've installed the ufw firewall but left it with default settings. Is that something I need to look into more?

Thanks in advance!

 

I really enjoyed The Hyperion Cantos, and the first few Dune books I read a long time ago (may reread these now). Can anyone recommend some other books (or series) along these lines? Huge stories on an epic scale, space battles, cool future tech, etc.

 

Very cool application of LLM to screen potential protein-drug interactions.

 

Pretty cool demo

 

Interesting article, I wonder how much longer new language models will be detectable like this.
