  1. If you are building or operating a #LLM based solution, did you price in continuous #reTraining and #QualityAssurance for every time you‘ll have to change the model you are using in your operating cost / #OpEx?
    This is not just necessary, when you want to improve your product. Your supplier could deprecate the model you are using any time. I haven’t seen #longTermSupport versions of #ChatBot models yet.

  6. This explains why an Android device from 2015 can't connect to modern sites secured by a Let's Encrypt cert.

    But a much older 2010 MacBook or 2013 iPad, still can.

    And that's with default built-ins, before we get to strategies like replacing IE/Safari with Firefox ESR (which can even enable Windows XP to browse the modern web), or replacing Google Android with PostmarketOS.

  8. Compare this to Apple, e.g. an iPad from 2013:
    * ships iOS 7,
    * runs new major iOS 12 from 2018,
    * support updates to 2023.

    a MacBook or iMac from 2010:
    * runs new major macOS release from 2016,
    * with support updates to 2019.

    That's 5 new major releases you'll see, and 10 years of long-term support, e.g. a new TLS root cert for Let's Encrypt.

  13. @tayledras @noiq Also I think that a lot of these have diminshing returns because once you can snapshot instanty, backup, restore, transfer and duplicate a VM you basically abstracted everything that's worth abstracting.

    And I seriously doubt that things like #OSv really bring any advantage to the table, as they are a #VM-only OS and not like a #Linux distro with solid #LongTermSupport or something else that makes it worth the effort...

  14. I was surprised and heartened to see so many grateful and positive comments below a post from the #Blender foundation deprecating an “LTS” release after its two year support life cycle ended. My unscientific working defn of how long the “long” in #longtermsupport entails was much more generous than two years!

  15. @feno nope.

    1. @AsahiLinux funzt schon,

    2. Ich mag @ubuntu lieber und würde allenfalls was mit #LongTermSupport wie #Ubuntu LTS installieren.

    3. #Apple's #AntiRepair - Design ist ein #WontBuy für mich!
