I assumed it was rho (ρ) of hydrogen since rho is used for density…
It’s racist because it’s racist. It has historically been used in a racist manner, and that’s socially recognized. So, if you do it now, it’s interpreted as racist.
(Much like the swastika is a hate symbol because the swastika is a hate symbol. It has been used as such and now it’s socially recognized as such (even though there’s nothing inherently bad about a bunch of geometric lines (and, in fact, was a positive symbol for the first 5,000 years of its use)).)
I added the repos to my existing arch install sometime last year I think. It’s pretty seamless in that regard, I think I only ran into a mirror sync issue once, and it was resolved a few hours later.
My CPU supports the v4 packages, but I’m not really sure how much benefit there is for most things. (And things like tf/torch aren’t coming from the repos anyways.)
I also use their kernel. I can feel a difference between stock and zen or stock and cachyos, but I don’t think I’d be able to tell zen and cachyos apart tbh.
I definitely wouldn’t switch distros for it, but since it’s a trivial, drop in repo, I’ll keep using it.
Adding another organization isn’t ideal trust-wise of course.
Regarding the second point: applications change it. It’s really annoying. I think Discord and Zoom both do it.
Given that you would need an exceedingly extensive, labeled dataset to start working with actions/behaviours/body language directly, the only realistic way to start would be with a language model. (And while these are sometimes decent, they’re absolutely terrible at other times (and there’s generally no way to tell which time is which).)
This is misleading because some of, if not all, of those on the left column are intentionally not identifying the person (as is, I think, standard practice). It’s not a matter of them intentionally framing it in a certain way.
