Parece que afinal ficámos nos 40/41%… Bem, ainda é melhor que as três últimas, mas definitivamente aquém do que esperava.

Como assim? Parece ser a mais baixa dos últimos 25 anos, no mínimo. Se as projeções da RTP forem boas, 33,43% será a menor taxa de abstenção a autárquicas desde 1982 (fonte):

1976	35,4
1979	26,2
1982	28,6
1985	36,1
1989	39,1
1993	36,6
1997	39,9
2001	39,9
2005	39
2009	41
2013	47,4
2017	45
2021	46,4

Yeah, I believe that’s it. He’s controlling Cipher which may or may not be related to him, maybe his son.

Daqui a uns tempos talvez volte a fazer uma análise, depois de já ter usado melhor a coisa. Presumo que a CP também fará várias correções e melhorias nos próximos tempos.

I agree it’s a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that’s just because Nextcloud’s implementation isn’t quite mature enough.

(happy cakeday!)

Well, we’re back at it. The first episode starts with some classic The Boys scenery .-.

So far, Chance’s absence seems coherent and well executed. And my oh my, the writers are even more on the nose with the parallels to the real world…

Boa sorte com isso!

O ano passado acabei por não conseguir ir, queria ver se este ano arranjava um dos dias…

Realmente a tua situação é muito desagradável, mas daí a generalizar, não sei. Talvez sejamos mais “barulhentos” que outros povos, à semelhança dos Espanhóis, Italianos, Gregos, etc, contudo o que descreveste parece-me ser uma situação bastante anómala, especialmente tendo em conta a notável simpatia do teu prezado vizinho.
Se de facto te incomoda e não te permite descansar nos teus momentos de lazer, nomeadamente à noite, não me parece de todo descabido entrar e contacto com as autoridades. Podes ainda antes tentar falar com a administração do condomínio, caso se aplique.

Quantos aos escapes abertos, é algo que me tira do sério quando apanho na rua, mas felizmente tem sido bastante esporádico. Talvez esteja só com sorte. A polícia devia apertar muito mais com isso, sem dúvida. E claro, menos carros nas ruas seria ótimo também…

Não conheço a tua situação em concreto, mas não subscrevo de todo o que dizes x)

A correr terás sempre o barulho do teu movimento. Quanto ao barulho exterior na rua, cafés, etc, usa uns bons fones. Em casa em princípio não precisarás de fones, a não ser que estejas longe de colunas ou a fazer barulho (a lavar a loiça por exemplo). Se tiveres muito barulho para lá das tuas paredes, se calhar devias pensar em falar com os vizinhos em questão?

Não vejo o que há de especial em Portugal; parece-me apenas um problema de viver num centro urbano.

Yes! Oh my, I’m silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃

Thank you for the correction!

As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn’t immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.

While the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn’t a good solution.

The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I’m not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there’s still some relatively “low hanging fruits” in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).

I say this as someone who’s been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.

Ah, that’s a nice one!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

It’s a key that makes the next 2 or more keystrokes be dead key inserts that combineinto some character otherwise impossible to type.

In my case, my keyboard had a ≣ Menu key which I never used, so I remapped it to Compose.

You’re correct, but that’s like saying along the lines of manufacturing a car is just bolting and soldering a bunch of stuff. It’s technically true to some degree, but it’s very disingenuous to make such a statement without being ironic. If you’re making these claims, you’re either incompetent or acting in bad faith.

I think there is a lot wrong with LLMs and how the public at large uses them, and even more so with how companies are developing and promoting them. But to spread misinformation and polute an already overcrowded space with junk is irresponsible at best.

I’ve been getting into the habit of also using em/en dashes on the computer through the Compose key. Very convenient for typing arrows, inequality and other math signs, etc. I don’t use it for ellipsis because they’re not visually clearer nor shorter to type.

That is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself. There’s no translation of weights to jumps in transformers and the underlying attention mechanisms.

I suggest reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(deep_learning_architecture)

Good point regarding ecommerce shops, was not aware they were sold there!

This. And to add to what other commenters have said, by using Bitwarden and paying for their Premium plan (very cheap, just $10/year), even if you don’t use all their features, you’re supporting a good project. It’s critical infrastructure, I think the price is more than fair.
Either way, you should always make periodic backups from any cloud service you use, encrypted of course.
