Sounds interesting. What kind of data can it reliably ingest with “attach”? If I dropped, say, the entire Python docs in there, would it be able to get anything out of that? Or does it need to be minimalistic plain-text statements? How is it actually performing retrieval?
A poly group (also known as a polycule) is a network of polyamorous people’s relationships. Polyamory, in case you’re unaware, is the practice of having multiple romantic or sexual partners at the same time, in contrast to monogamy.
If you were polyamorous and wanted to graph out your relationships, you could do it a few different ways. For example:
Just you and your partners. If any of your partners are also in relationships with each other, you’d draw lines between them as well.
Extend an extra level and include all of your partners’ partners (known as metamours), again connecting any pair on the graph who are partners.
Extend that further and include all of your partners’ partners’ partners (no specific term for this as far as I know). This would likely include people you don’t personally know, and it would be difficult to build a complete graph of all their relationships.
Etc.
Unga bunga.
Unless you have your router specifically configured to isolate wi-fi, it shouldn’t matter. Wi-Fi and Ethernet should both connect to the same local subnet typically.
Honestly, I would like to see more of Queen Jurati and her Borg Cooperative. It was a cool idea that, like all the cool ideas in Picard, was poorly developed and overshadowed by nonsense.
I see this as kind of like the “loudness war” in radio.
It’s not a conspiracy or anything, it’s just the networks and producers adapting (correctly) to how people actually watch/listen to stuff.
Audiophiles can complain all they want about low dynamic range, but if you’re listening to radio in a noisy environment (like a car), high dynamic range is actually fucking awful.
Similarly, there’s nothing inherently wrong with watching a show when you can’t give it your full attention. Sometimes I watch TV while I’m doing chores, or even during my workday. You know what’s great for that? Those stupid competition shows where they narrate everything on screen, and have five instant replays plus recaps after ad breaks. I never feel like I’m missing anything even if I ignore 80% of the show. I’d never sit down and really watch this stuff though. My brain would rot. It’s just a step above white noise.
Let’s not pretend we understand the mechanics of consciousness. If you can prove what is required for consciousness, there’s at least a Nobel prize in it for you.
SNW Pike is not a man’s man or a lady’s man. He’s just a human’s human.
Hard to say what the used market is like, but the cheapest cards that would be broadly similar in performance would probably be the Arc A580, RX 5700 or RX 6600. This page has some rankings that are reasonable for comparison: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388-2.html
But…surely there’s a way to just stick with the latest supported driver, right? Or is Arch truly an “upgrade or die” distro?
My cynical ass is having trouble finding a the dark side of this.
The warm blood going into the feet transfers its heat to the cold blood going back. That means less heat going into the feet where it would otherwise be lost to the environment.
Humans minimize heat loss by simply restricting blood flow to the extremities. It’s uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable (or dangerous) as a cold core.
The last time I did any html/css work was about 15 years ago. Now I’m curious what’s changed.
Spotify has a lossless quality option in their apps.
The link says “The quality is the original OGG Vorbis at 160kbit/s”, so I guess that’s what Spotify uses for the “high” desktop/mobile setting described at https://support.spotify.com/us/article/audio-quality/
If Civilization II taught me one thing, it’s that ongoing payments are an absolute scam… Unless you’re planning to declare war anyway.
I think when people talk about fiction being too “political” nowadays, they usually mean one of three things:
Personally, I can get behind #3 because boy howdy there’s some bad writing out there.
And I’ll admit I occasionally fall prey to #2. Some things I watch today feel too “on the nose” in regard to current events, and sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s truly worse writing than my old favorites or if I was just too ignorant, naïve, or credulous to pick up on it when I was younger. It’s also sometimes hard to tell when re-watching old stuff because I don’t feel the zeitgeist of 30 years ago in my bones the same way I do today’s (naturally).
For example, I can watch an episode of Futurama that’s literally about the world being nearly destroyed by a giant ball of 20th-century garbage, and somehow it doesn’t feel overtly topical, while the new episodes about bitcoin and AI feel more like a sermon than a sitcom. Maybe the writing is worse, or maybe I’m just old now. Who’s to say?
And that is exactly why it was so effective.
Like the old saying goes, “show, don’t tell”. TOS didn’t need to shake us by the shoulders and say “look! There’s a black woman in a respected professional position! Isn’t that amazing‽” They just showed us Uhura doing her job, being treated the same as anyone else because it’s the future and why would it be any other way?
I don’t want AI in my browser even if I can turn it off for the same reason I don’t want my refrigerator door booby-trapped with an explosive even if I can turn it off.
Bugs happen. Configuration changes happen. User error happens. Software is complex, and I shouldn’t need an intimate knowledge of every goddamn app I run to be sure it’s not siphoning all my data off to god-knows-where. I use hundreds of programs on a daily basis. It is completely untenable to carefully configure every single one, stay abreast of constant updates and changes, and spend 76 full working days reading every TOS I am subject to. And of course, all their policies and defaults are subject to change without notice, so nothing I learn today will necessarily apply tomorrow anyway.
I want to be confident that my web browser is not — either by design, due to a misconfiguration, or due to a bug — sending my data to OpenAI. I do not want a booby-trapped browser, even if I can turn off the booby-traps. I do not want my fridge to explode, so I don’t buy fridges with built-in explosives. Seems pretty simple to me.
I also want to be confident in the same for others. If I deploy a browser to 100 employees’ machines, or even just my mom’s, a little opt-out checkbox under Settings will not give me any peace of mind.
Giraffes have the same thing.
My cable management is not a mess, it’s just natural evolution!
Share pictures of yourself, or your children, only with actual friends and not for the whole world to find
Good advice but let’s be real: in practice, this means having no social media profile, and even that is a half-measure.
Even if I carefully curate my friends list (most people don’t), and share my photos with only my inner circle (most people won’t), I have no control over what my friends do. If my cousin posts a photo he took at Thanksgiving, it’s probably going to be visible to all his friends, and even friends-of-friends. That’s thousands of people I’ve never met and there’s not much I can do about it.
There are pictures of me on Facebook, and I do not use Facebook. The social cost of getting on everyone’s ass about taking/posting pictures with me is too high even for a grumpy old fart like me. At least I’m not tagged (since I don’t have a profile), so it’s not neatly pre-sorted for potential attackers. But that’s at best security through obscurity, and it isn’t even very obscure. Anyone targeting me specifically would have no trouble finding pictures of me, and none of that is realistically within my control.
It’s more like “beater bike security”. Any bike lock can be thwarted by a dedicated thief, so the best strategy is simply to be a less attractive target than the other bikes around.
This is a systemic problem. It goes beyond individual choices and even beyond social media policies.
Do they even say what processor it has? All I see is “4-nanometer, 5G IoT SoC platform from MediaTek” which means nothing to me.
