Despite the presence of whole tex-mex and pizza aisles in grocery stores, at least the food for local dishes is still a staple and well-stocked in every grocery store. I think, for example, 2/3s of the pre-made options are varieties of Norwegian dishes.

This stuff to me, at least, is more exotic than what's popular (I am also an American in Norway), in part of its cultural significance whereas pizza, Chinese food, etc. have lost a bit of its unique charge of exoticism precisely because it has been completely commoditized (and I also grew up in NYC where those two examples feel ubiquitous and that impulse has reached Europe in a big way.)
I am surrounded by people everywhere I go, and yet:

1 person I know IRL has read the books which matter to me.

0 people I know IRL have watched the animes that matter to me.

0 people I know IRL read Hacker News.

0 people I know IRL really play the video games I like.

0 people I know IRL have travelled to the places I have and seen the things I've seen.

Thousands of hours of my life are spent on things for which no one else I know can moderately appreciate. That is the essence of my loneliness.

Also, 0 men I know IRL were raised by a single mother, so my social inclination and lifestyle are hard to relate to.

Warning - the next bit talks about s-icide.

Also, I can't talk to people I know about s-icidal thoughts. My father killed himself a decade ago, and it's apparent to me that the idea spreads like a virus. For someone to really understand my feelings and view on it would likely make them s-icidal too, which I can't bear the thought of. My fiancee has had an experience where a SO offed himself, so talking about it with her is triggering. She's also got anger management problems that make a lot of communication difficult. These are other contributors to feelings of social isolation and loneliness.

I want lemmy to succeed, but if it doesnt change, it never will.

I got the idea of "Ill find some communities from reddit there". Typed Lemmy into google, first result was relevant - good there. Got to mainpage, decision to join or create server - well, I chose join coz that seemed more instant.

But then it made me chose between several instances with no instant info about how will my choice affect what I see, and I just gave up there. I dont want to choose instance, I dont want to learn how it works. I want content first, and if I like it, then maybe I learn the inner workings to get more of it.

But as it stands now theres just no way Lemmy will ever become mainstream.

It's mindboggling to me that every teacher doesn't just debut the subject with videogames as a reference.

"Alright everyone, let's make a video game character out of triangles".

"Let's make a little cannon that you can change the angle of. How do you calculate the angle? Funny you should ask.."

"Now let's learn how you'd make the fireball move up and down as it travels. That's a sine wave!"

Every single student understands the basic concept of a game visually, even if they don't play them regularly. It's just a perfect frame of reference and context for applying the concepts in 2D, and then in 3D. And it's so easy to help the students understand how easily those concepts get extrapolated to other things (engineering, sports, whatever).
What you just said is very false.

There isn't really any, only Debian/Ubuntu gets close.

RHEL and its clones are supported with updates for 10 years, often ship with "more modern" server software than Debian does (e.g. firewalld, podman, systemd etc) and DNF, whilst slower, still blows apt in terms of feature set (e.g. transcriptional, roll-backs, history, offline upgrades)

There's also SUSE.

And then to have the prestigious Wall Street Journal donate space for him to take his denial to the public...

I find that stranger than the actual gifts. It's distasteful that the Supreme Court members have been financially involved with political allies, but in the end those were allies. I don't believe these are bribes. They're always voting in accordance with their principles. It just so happens that those principles suit their benefactors very well, and they express their pleasure in extravagant ways, but I don't think they'd change their decisions in the slightest if it were stopped.

It has the appearance of impropriety, and they really should be avoiding that appearance. But that has mostly meant keeping out of the limelight. They obviously have political leanings and they express their views, but compared to their office they usually keep a fairly low profile. They like to think of themselves as "calling the balls and strikes", and have lifetime appointments so that they don't have to play politics.

So going to a major newspaper -- one whose opinion page is explicitly partisan -- is even weirder than the gifts. It's dispensing with even the fig leaf of "I'm not being bribed; I just happen to have a lot of generous partisan friends". The usual way to solve this would be to avoid reporters, let the journalists ferret out the facts as best they can, and then let it all die down because there's no actual way to hold any justices to account. (Impeachment exists but is effectively impossible.)

Taking it public like this feels inept. It's the kind of treatment politicians get, and the whole point of their power is that they're pretending not to be politicians. Of course that pretense has been shredded for decades, and it is long past time we reconsidered how it works. And in the meantime, it bodes very, very badly for one political party to more from implicitly to explicitly controlling the one non-overridable part of the government.
Well, of course, which is why I prefixed the imitation with a self-referential remark in parentheses, meant to turn a low-effort attempt at humor into a meta-joke, that the audience would consider clever.

Episode 04: Insights and advices from our Design leader
I suspect it should be possible to transform two intersected (K*,C,U) expressions into a new (K*,C,U) expression by walking over the two, dropping incompatible terms, reducing sets, and redistributing and expanding sub-expressions to combine the two, though I do not have time to take a serious look at this at the moment.

I also suspect that this might result in a combinatorial explosion of fused terms, but that's irrelevant as we're only worried about whether intersection can be implemented in Russ Cox's method, not whether a regular expression might require several earths or so worth of RAM to hold :)

Nothing in the wiki article mentions taking a prefix, but that just sounds like `(prefix|)`?
Cookies was a simple concept that politicians could glom on to and legislate around, but, yes, they're quite unimportant in the grand scale of things.

In the end, you've got two things to work with: Things you can convince the browser to actively identify itself with, and the things you can track regardless.

Cookies are in the first category, but they are not alone. You can get things as simple as presenting an entire site with customized URLs that track a user through querystrings being appended to everything with an identifier. You can track certain caching differences. You can program a website to use local storage and submit a token on every URL click with a fairly simple handler. This isn't even remotely a complete list.

In the second category, you've got IP address, browser versions, various settings... see something like https://www.amiunique.org/ .

In a nutshell, your rich browser experience leaks so much data along so many axes that it is essentially inconceivable that you could ever prevent yourself from being fingerprinted. What you can do is try to detach that fingerprint from a real person, to a certain extent rotate what you can, etc. But in reality you can't be shipping up kilobytes of header information on each web request and expect there isn't something in there that can track you.

https://www.amiunique.org/fingerprint says I'm 100% unique; with all the red lighting up I'm not surprised.

AI development is taking place at breathtaking velocity and GPT-4 isn't the end of the road. OpenAI's moat relies on them improving at a faster pace than competitors. I wouldn't take it for granted that OpenAI's lead will remain the same in a year as it is today. Very possibly they could expand their lead. Also possibly, their lead could vanish.

That's fair, but a storage space specially treated as at least theoretically "ephemeral" should be cleared out on some regular basis before things start depending on it NOT being cleared out.

That said, it makes sense that at least some distros would leave a job in place to do so but initially disabled so that the user can decide based on the use-case
Catch-all is a pretty standard feature across email providers when you’re using your own domain.

As for +, I have no idea if it’s being blocked on purpose or by accident, but that kind of thing serves a useful purpose for the recipient, not just being able to create multiple accounts easily: automatic labelling. (And if you’re trying to create multiple accounts, plus addressing is an awfully prosaic approach, and there are plenty of other viable techniques, e.g. mail forwarding services, disposable addresses, adding random dots if you’re using Gmail—abc@, a.bc@, a.b.c@ and ab.c@ all go to the same mailbox.)

Don't trust hedge priests!

(Almost all dioceses will have a list of parishes/priests somewhere, here is Sacramento's: https://www.scd.org/directory - if the priest is not listed in an official diocese publication somewhere, and claims to be visiting, he must (in the USA) have a celebret and a letter of good standing; if he cannot produce those be extremely suspicious. Confession is an additional permission that must be listed in writing - https://canonlaw.ninja/?nums=903;937 )

Of note one of the things not mentioned in "BetterHelp" is that the ability to not text your therapist at all hours of the day is actually very important for mental health. The therapist is a tool, not a crutch, and shouldn't be treated like a coping mechanism. A therapist is supposed to help teach and guide someone to develop healthier behavior patterns, and time away from the therapist to implement those patterns by onesself is very important.

>You can’t take a small negative and project it onto the paper, as you do with an enlarger for silver gelatin prints.

Pretty much sums up the point. Using 8x10 or whatever size negatives when film rolls were coming about is a non-starter for the general public.

The cost seems very high as the other commenter has mentioned also. From a quick search purchasing a kit will give you a printing cost of ~$15/photo. This immediately relegates it to the realm of hobbyists with money. Canvas prints of that size may be a bit cheaper for someone seeking something that’s a bit more special than a regular photo.
You know, it's not a requirement to be contrarian about everything. Encouraging people to use stronger passwords (and password managers to handle them) is pretty much universally a good thing.
Clicking a header link and then getting a modal popup (that appears in a completely different part of the screen) asking where to go (repository or org) is ultra shitty.

Links should be links to places. If your link is an option menu, it's not a link. The friction here is terrible. There's literally an org visible & a repo visible, but someone decided I'm not capable of clicking/tapping links & made the experience way higher friction & slow.

I think a lot of people see a larger gap between open-source models and GPT-4 than is present because they test out the 7B models which fit on their machine. Models like T5-FLAN-XXL are very far below the quality one can expect from the best in open-source, and barely usable for CoT or tool use.

Especially for LangChain, I recommend using ≥33B models like Guanaco or WizardLM. Guanaco-65B honestly feels on-par with ChatGPT-3.5. (To be clear, there is a large gap with GPT-4 though.) It is a costly test, although GPTQ (for instance on exllama) help make it affordable.

I haven’t tried Orca since they haven’t released the weights yet, but it doesn’t seem like they have a 33B version.
Giving users the ability to have a choice in the direction of "enterprise linux" is a large part of the reason that CentOS Stream exists. Previously if you wanted some bug fixed or some feature added you needed to beg Red Hat for it or hope that a paying customer needed it too. Now external parties can contribute to the future release of RHEL (and Rocky, Alma, etc.)

So let's say that some Rocky or Alma Linux user or developer wants to make a change. They are RHEL clones, so they can't do that. But they can now contribute the change to CentOS Stream, which is the upstream for both RHEL and their own distro. That change can be reviewed and tested by the community + Red Hat, and then land in RHEL a few months later.

This isn't theoretical, to use one example, Facebook uses CentOS Stream in production and contributes back a significant amount.

Disclosure: I do work for Red Hat. But it never made sense to me why people say that the "CentOS community was destroyed" when it didn't really have much of a community, it had _users_, which is different. It has more of a "community" now than it did previously, because the development is actually open as opposed to Android-style "throwing bundles of code over the wall".

The class of total US veterans represents 6.7% of all US adults 18 years and over on a trend that's been consistently declining for at least the past 2 decades[1]. There's no moral hazard here and Lowe's is kind enough to extend enough privileged parking to go around.

I don't understand what they mean by strong passwords.

From the methodology:

> If the product uses passwords or other means of security for remote authentication, it must require that strong passwords are used, including having password strength requirements.

What are 'strength requirements'? Is minimum-length-of-X a strength requirement? Apparently not, since Abide failed for the following:

> Strong password: No. Allowed us to register with '11111111'. They require 8 characters minimum, but do not check if a password is strong.

I have a friend with a Japanese wife he met in California (he's French), they got married in Japan and lived there for a couple years, and their decision to finally come to France was because the racism became aggressive when they were together in public.

A white guy alone was fine, a white guy holding hand with a beautiful (subjective, but honestly she could be a model) japanese girl? Even his coworkers were disrespectful, which I find baffling.
It really was a very simple, well put together language. I think the goal of simplicity has been abandoned. The := operator, introduction of declared types, the way that generators became extremely complex to make them work as microthreads, and the division of python codebases between async code and regular code, which aren't compatible with each other, are proof of this.
