Speaking of interesting sensing capabilities there’s also the sea turtles that can detect magnetic fields, although I don’t think people understand the actual mechanical parts yet

ollama is the usual one, they have install instructions on their GitHub i think, and a model repository, etc

You can run something on your cpu if you don’t care about speed, or on your gpu although you can’t run any more intelligent model without a decent amount of vram

For models to use, I recommend checking out the qwen distilled versions of deepseek r1

I made a little desktop app in Godot once for sorting through D&D monsters, can’t really release it tho because it requires you to have the whole official monster manual saved as jpegs for it to work

I was able to get the layout pretty nice, but it still kinda breaks with some resolutions because I didn’t write any custom layout code

I think it’s the gartner hype cycle, which usually uses the same labels as the meme

I guess it’s realizing you just want a stable “it just works” type of mainstream distro with a large community and support

Yes, it’s definitely a more mainstream entertainment channel than pure info

aimed more at gamers than tech people I think

for anyone wondering: hsl(38, 79%, 51%) for orange and hsl(136, 64%, 42%) for green, that’s oklch(0.7471 0.151 74.06) for orange and oklch(0.664 0.181 147.42) for green. interestingly the normal digital color model shows orange as more saturated, while a perceptual color space shows them as a little bit less

(not trying to be the sort of person the comic is making fun of, I just like color lol)

In the US and one that I haven’t seen others mention yet is the hummingbirds

if you close all the terminal tabs and do ctrl+r on a new one it will search all of the ones you closed

Any should. Any unicode is converted to alphabetical anyways, through “xn–” + a punycode conversion. Which is actually fairly important for places that don’t use the Latin alphabet.

(Someone set this up on 196 a while ago, they said they were using Namecheap)

Not a petition exactly but I found https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

There might be others, I didn’t look that long and I’m not in the EU so idk

The linked petition says:

The European Parliament MPs must vote AGAINST Chat Control legislation during EPlenary vote in June-August 2021.

It’s not even up to date. And it only has 1.8k signatures.

Look at other corrupt governments and you can see some even more startlingly disfunctional infrastructure.

The ti84 is not that high resolution

ldk, avif looks really good at the really high compression ratios. My problem with it is that usually it includes lots of details, except those details weren’t the actual details of the original image. It just kinda hallucinates them

Also ofc the unlimited layers, great lossless mode, and high color depth etc would still make jxl a better universal choice, but avif just looks better at the ultra low end

People make it sound like its some extreme time consuming task to learn rust. Rust actually gives helpful compiler errors tho and there’s a lot of resources online.

I was able to start making some basic things in rust (like an ascii-rendered brute force n-body simulation) with the help of a few google searches after just like 2 days of messing around in my free time. I’m sure reading kernel stuff requires much more advanced knowledge than what I have but it’s really not a large barrier.

variable width extrusions are great, you can get a whole lot more detail in thin areas just automatically now

There’s also tree supports (usually less material and much easier to design for and remove), lightning infill (weak infill for non-structural models)

maybe some other features that i’m forgetting

Don’t they have the whole “copilot+ ready pc” branding thing now for computers with npus? is none of it actually local yet?
