Kinda funny - agentic flight booking was the poster use case for Semantic Web Services [1] 2001-2005. The whole thing collapsed because no one could agree on inputs/outputs (RDF/XML, ontologies). Now LLMs just wing it from plain text.
And just like the semantic web, they'll wall it up when they realise it's bad for business when they can't control it. Except walling off even the plain text is going to make the web really a hassle for everyone.
I ran XPS Developer Edition (Ubuntu) for 5+ years without any issues.
Using Framework for past year - every day I have to reboot because it freezes with 20+ Firefox tabs (Ubuntu 22.04, AMD). Tried all options (disable vGPU etc) but no luck.
That's frustrating, I'm sorry! I don't experience anything like that, and I have over a thousand tabs open in Firefox on NixOS.
Based on https://frame.work/linux Ubuntu 24.04 is the minimum supported version for the older AMD F13's, so I'd suggest updating and then reaching out to Framework if the problem persists on a supported distro.
Yep, my last laptop purchase was an xps13. Unfortunately the 8gb of soldered on ram is becoming woefully insufficient with how bloated the modern web has gotten.
I have a beefy desktop, but if I replace my laptop I think it will probably be a thinkpad.
on chrome based browsers with Linux I have to disable 'use graphic acceleration when available' in the browser settings or the browser with freeze intermittently. This has been a consistent issue across distros for years. Not sure if it also affects firefox.
Disabling this feature mostly works, but results in poor performance for some graphics heavy websites.
I also had a lot of issues with my AMD framework laptop and ended up reverting back to a older Intel Framework laptop. Top issues with the AMD laptop were the realtek wireless, and random AMD (integrated) GPU glitches. Intel hardware continues to be absolutely top tier for Linux support.

Oddly enough works fine on all Chromebooks. It really is a matter of platform hardware/firmware qualification being suited to task.
People make fun of Chrome being a RAM hog but I'm having more issues with FF than I ever did with Chrome. For some reason on reddit specifically FF will randomly freeze for a few seconds, my cursor will stop rendering on top of it (like it's going behind the window) and it won't accept inputs. If I keep typing through it it all appears in the window after it unfreezes. Also FF will regularly take multiple gigs for random tabs like Youtube if I leave them open.
Tldr it might be more of a firefox problem than a framework problem.
I would hazard a guess that it’s more of a “devs only test against Chromium” problem than it is a Firefox problem. It’s a problem seen under WebKit-based browsers at times, too. Gecko and WebKit often behave differently and have different performance characteristics than Chromium/Blink does, but that’s often not accounted for at all. The extent of QA on non-Chromium browsers too often stops at “it technically runs”.
That's also probably part of the story but ultimately as an end user the fact is Firefox is a bad experience I'm suffering through only to not use Chrome. I can't force websites to patch whatever memory leak is causing Youtube tabs on FF to eat 5 GB of ram for example.
I have a ThinkPad T480s with Ubuntu and Firefox. Works like a dream except every now and again the whole thing locks up (have to power cycle). Happens with AWS Console and LinkedIn. Maybe it's doing me a favour.
The iOS Mail app has gotten so bad. It shows errors for no reason whatosover. The other day I typed a message and hit sent (and status showed all synced) but it was not sent and not even in draft.
What if my "AI Character" says things that are offensive or insensitive or considered rude by someone in some culture?
I can see this making headlines with a <Celeb/Politician> AIs offending someone...
4chan is not going to have much fun with this because of LLaMA being quite filtered and sanitized. It was character.ai that first popularized the AI character roleplay genre, but then they implemented quite strict filtering, so nowadays there are literally tens of uncensored NSFW platforms for AI character roleplay, and people can easily download local models that just require a good-enough GPU. Or abuse models from OpenAI/Anthropic.
Of course with the magic of browser web tools, the AI character doesn't actually have to say anything offensive, you can just change whatever it did say and post screenshots on Mastodon.
Had the exact same experience. One of the car dealerships told me that I still have to get a 6 month "service" where they move around battery packs (why?). And secondly, I remembered how I hated talking to car salesmen.
It would be interesting to know what the net gain is. Obviously there is the materials and labor cost of installation, but then you also have the battery cost. I assume most of the trucks are out during the day, so you need batteries to store the generated power until the truck can be charged at night.
And does Amazon own the warehouses outright, or do they lease them?

Why not just double your fleet size instead?
That's a bit extreme, but this is the kind of optimization that your bean counters are good at. You probably don't need to double your fleet but just keep enough that you can shift the consumption curve or take advantage of price changes.
It's a new and exciting set of features that allow them to collect even more invasive information, then flood your email, webpages and physical mail with more targeted and impressive amounts of garbage!
