Does KDE let you change workspaces on each monitor independently? Or does it carry over the X11 EWMH backage that requires you to have a single root window across all monitors with each workspace stretched out across it? So when you change a workspace, it changes across all monitors.
Equally, would you say there is much innovation in the PHP world? Legit question as a non php dev.

Holding unusually dense materials for the first time is trippy in that it breaks your expectations of how things should feel.

But describing it as life changing is just influencers being influencers. Exaggerating everything into hyperbole is part of the job when you’re angling for more views on TikTok.

It’s an interesting subject and if you broaden your view of what they could be, it gets even more interesting. I.e. instead of little green men flying on faster than light spacecraft gazillions of miles to visit earth, what if they are from a different dimension? Time travelers? What if they’ve always been here? What if they created us, and we are a planetary zoo? What if we are in a simulation and they are the “gods”/admins of our reality?

I’m not suggesting any of those are true, I personally have no idea. But it could be a lot of things and the sky isn’t even the limit.

All I know is that in the past few years there’s been a huge shift in what our leaders are saying and the stigma of “tin foil hat UFO nutjubs” is being lifted. The question is why? And why now?

I'll keep saying it: sleep apnea is vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated. I had so many weird symptoms for so long, which all gradually started to disappear as I started to get my sleep apnea treated.

Unless you're fat, doctors will rarely even consider the possibility. And once you do get a polysomnogram, the usualy course of action is to throw a CPAP machine at you and send you on your way, without much followup. This, predictably, leads to abysmal compliance and the perception that PAP-therapy is awful or innefective.

And while I'm on my soap box, I really wish the PAP-manufacturers would dislodge their collective head from their collective arse. Trying to lock down machines and preventing patients from accessing their data (and settings) is plain evil. And maybe put some money into R&D for better machines? There's literally hundreds of millions of people with sleep apnea, there's bound to be a market for better devices ...

Indeed, the Wayback Machine is an invaluable resource, more and more so as older sites drop off the net.

In the beginning was the Word, I think is how the book starts.

Now, massive industrial Manhattan-project quantities of Word have been gas-diffused and centrifuged into language models that, somehow, compress and represent all that Word.

In one ChatGPT transcript, the bot falls into a Strange Loop where it says -- I am, I am not, I am, I am not, ...

Wow, this entire thinkpiece is frankly incredibly annoying to me. Vast amounts of staggering, amazing music are being made. The issues which he is describing are rather just a loss of a "universal" major label music culture.

We've got artists revolutionizing their own respective niches, this all just happens in complete disconnect from major label music, and from the general mainstream.

The fact that he goes through the entire article without even bringing up examples of modern artists which impressed or didn't impress him is weak. No mention of the windmill scene (eg. black midi and black country, new roads)? No mention of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, who gained some amount of fame for releasing five (5!) really solid albums in a single year? No mention of Death Grips, who revolutionized modern hip hop music? These are all names which should be familiar if you're paying attention.

Instead he brings up Drake (and Kendrick, to be fair) as an example of "artists setting the bar incredibly high" and "setting new trends for new generations".

Either way, I'd hate to have this guy on my party.
That's his argument, but he comes to the opposite conclusion. He asserts that these gatekeepers drove artists to be better, the gatekeepers improved the music, and that the gatekeepers curated the music.
Yeah, laravel also stays the same.
Most of the article boils down to: "labels are not gatekeepers anymore".
It might be possible for China. They just have to be able to culturally integrate the migrants. It is in own way important to remember that China is not a nation state. But has rather different view. If immigrants were to adopt Chinese and parts of Chinese culture it might be possible.

Difficult to convince the entire field of mathematics that they are wrong though. It's hard enough to convince programmers - humans just have first=1 drummed into us so much it's like trying to convince a stone age man that the world is round.

I think mathematicians care even less because most of the problems with starting from 1 can be hand waved away when you're just writing non-executable formulas and can make up any syntax you want on the spot. If anything is really awkward with 1-based numbering, just change the notation so that it isn't! Programmers can't really do that so they feel the pain more.

Hi guys, I really didn't think that it would move THIS fast, but it did, and we now have Alpaca.cpp.

As soon as I saw Alpaca.cpp on the front page, I started working on Dalai's JavaScript integration, and today I'm happy to release Dalai Alpaca.

Dalai is now kind of like a package manager of sorts, just one command to install LLaMA or Alpaca, and all integrated with the web UI and the ultra-hackable API. All you need to do is one command: "npx dalai install alpaca 7b"

Also, been fixing a lot of bugs since last time so if you had trouble installing, I recommend you try again.

Officially supports Windows, Mac and Linux. Still some quirks here and there but mostly works and happy to figure out if you are having trouble. This time it's much simpler to use because it only takes up like 4.2GB. Appreciate any feedback!
If you're just looking for docker, the official docker registry[0] is quite literally just a docker container. The only problem is that authentication is very much geared around being totally private (as in, they recommend you just throw nginx in front of it). Couldn't find much on a "read-only" version of that.

GitLab is an overbloated mess that you can't really justify unless you have organization-style funding/tax-writeoffs for the server (at which point it's easily the best choice). It expects CI/CD to exist for all projects, even though it can run without it, you'll be missing quite a number of features (the main example is that GitLab demands release builds to be generated through CI unless you want to manipulate the API with curl on your dev machine, vis-a-vis uploading things). It needs a somewhat beefy server unless you go out of your way to downtune the entire thing (which requires quite a bit of configuration), a 5$ VPS will not suffice.

Gitea mostly rocks and in my experience runs on even that 5$ VPS, but it does not ship with any CI/CD by design. They do have a list of external services[1] that can provide CI that can integrate with their software, so you can have CI/CD. Personally I'd recommend Gitea if you're looking to selfhost.

We will be backtesting and deploying an algorithmic trading strategy in a live environment. We'll see how it performs and discuss the steps one can take to improve its performance.

Due to the limited duration of the event, the strategy showcased will use basic ideas in mathematics and technical analysis. We'll be using the Python libraries scipy and talib.

This workshop will be the first part of a larger series, and should appeal to anyone who has an interest in developing automated trading strategies. It would be helpful if you have programming experience, otherwise some aspects of the workshop will be harder to follow.

I think you’re downplaying the issue too much.

Whatever you want to call them, the illogical thoughts induced by psychedelics can be a significant problem for people who can’t separate them from reality.

There is a lot of talk about how psychedelics can change people’s minds and make them open to new ideas, but there has been much less talk about how not all of those drug-induced ideas are actually good or true ideas.

I find fascinating that the authors analysed only systems that are nearly all "fringe". The Web itself is not really used as described either.

It sounds like this work end up producing something that does not even consider the reality of the field but only what the author's imagine the field would be.

In that scope it is deeply interesting of course. And what they point to in the opening is important. But i would have loved an implementation that does look at how easy each system make testing. Composability. Refactoring. Linting. Different compilers. Repl. New projects. Compiler driven development. Formatting. Etc

There is a wide analysis of the technical side to do there between php and Rust as example. It feels like a missed opportunity.

> (1) there is something very broken for about 60% of submissions

My conclusion is that there is an inherent subjectivity involved in judging paper "quality". Which shouldn't be that surprising; if there were objective criteria we probably wouldn't need humans to do any judging. I dunno if you want to call that a broken system or not, but if this outcome is unavoidable then trying to change it won't improve anything. (I suspect that 60% isn't some magic lower limit and improvement is possible, but I suspect the lower limit is 20-40% at minimum).

Realistically, this means that a single acceptance/rejection shouldn't decide the fate of a persons whole career. And they generally don't, it will be an average of many.

I've traveled alone, with family, with friends.

My best travels have been with two other members forming a group which now includes a charter making it the envy of many others.

The rules are defined. We rotate hosts. The host is responsible for arranging lodging, destination, and guide. No additional members or visits to others. Rules require we share all meals, exploring, lodging. This syncs up schedules and garnishes agreement.

This is our tenth year. The rules were codified in the third after an ongoing disagreement that now serves as a long running joke.

It seems to me that the popular understanding is influenced by grossly misleading 20th century anti-religious propaganda. The geocentric model is not something the Catholic Church plucked out of the bible; they got it from Ptolemy and other 'heathen' classical thinkers, whom the Catholic Church considered meritorious despite not being Christians. Sure, they then found some biblical citations to back themselves up in this, but the idea was never their own in the first place.
Ok, at least there must be limits, so it would act as a diluter and possibly make it uneconomic.

On the first page of _Nineteen Eighty-Four_ there's this:

"Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely."

(Though the more nightmarish thing about 1984's "telescreens" is that they were two-way, giving the government the ability to see and hear what you were doing as well as exposing you to their propaganda.)

I had the vague feeling there was something similar in _Fahrenheit 451_ too, but I took a look and I'm pretty sure there isn't.

> Munchausen's syndrome by proxy is called factitious disorder imposed on another now.

Honestly, who gives a fuck?

Yeah sorry, that may sound a bit harsh... But really, what's this constant renaming of things supposed to be actually good for? The main effects seem to be:

1) Some people get to feel all good and righteous and “with it”, because they know the PC terminology; and

2) The rest of us are A) either annoyed at i) having to learn new shit again, ii) not getting to be in that hip and in crowd, or above all, iii) how smug and pompous those masters of the PC vocabulary come off, intentionally or unintentionally giving the impression that they look down on us peasants...

Or B) Just confused as to what the fuck they're talking about.

So thank you, I guess, for having taught us – me – this, so I won't look like an ignorant bumpkin next time someone says it... But I would very much have preferred not having to.
Far superior... at making basic 90s UIs that nobody else wants today.

For better or worse, but the reality is nobody wants them anymore. Branding is a thing. When a client wanted something different you used to tell them "You can't have that" and they had to take it, because there was no other option.

The instant web enabled and normalized arbitrary UIs, "You can't have that" Delphi people simply went out of business. Because it turned out Delphi was far inferior at doing what people actually wanted.

Well but there's a lot more to sleep than time. I know waking up 20 minutes earlier then my bodies decided wake time creates much more than 20 minutes of grogginess. Waking up n minutes before sleep Cycle end might be okay for some people but in the times I've had to set my alarm a little earlier, the time of waking makes a difference all day.

Now, if you're already not sleeping enough for your body and get woken up groggy and tired by an alarm every morning, that 20 minutes probably won't kill you faster than the lessened sleep you already get.
In some jurisdiction these are illegal.

Switzerland has "Precious Metal Control", so I think I can't import fake gold bars without the risk they being confiscated. Not that I would want. I imported a tungsten cube, not as large as these in the Tiktok videos, but it is really a weird feeling to keep it in the hand. Tungsten is brittle and might break if you drop it and probably also the surface dropped on is in danger of getting a hole, so I feel a strange responsibility by just holding the cube.

Your response insinuated that even if Edge did the same as Apple, people would still complain, which suggests that Microsoft is the target of some hate that Apple wouldn't be subject to, so I wanted to understand your reasoning.
