Also with the M1 Pro MacBook, my LG USB-C monitor broke during the upgrade. Black screen, same on another connected USB-C laptop. Tried different cables, unplugging power from the monitor and factory reset on the monitor, no luck. Other inputs like HDMI and DisplayPort still work. I don't think the breakage during the upgrade is a coincidence.

I would really advise against having anything connected to the Macbook during upgrades, except the charger...

Touching stuff...

It could be middle age tainting my perspective... but sometimes I feel this sort of... not visceral, but very close and undeniable... experience with death is easier for people who are young.

Death isn't real for most people at 17, no matter how much they have seen, many see the death of a grandparent, or two, or perhaps even four, before reaching 17, but most still enter their late teens, feeling invincible and like death is a whole lifetime away... because on a sort of undeniable personal narrative level is is... it is a lifetime away... and things that feel a lifetime away are much easier to think about than things that feel like they get closer every year. In middle age you know your to some statistical average "about half way there"... and that's a very different place from which to begin having this kind of life experience.
Yes, your argument shows my point very well, thank you.

It's most likely because the game seems to use the textures from an existing installation. You can't just enlarge textures and have them look the same.

I'm sure they could do some AI upscaling, but that probably wouldn't improve the situation much. GSG tried that for the Definitive Edition, and look how that went.

It would be interesting to see a new texture pack made for it, which focuses less on nostalgia and more on fidelity.

Some really interesting stories and lessons.
we are veering deep into logical fallacies here. lets pull this back into why they suggested this point.

> But you're going to dwell on whether the first initial island purchase itself was "legal" being a strong claim?

The article is claiming to be entirely factual. but this assertion is not actually true, so it isn't factual.

> internationally recognized crimes against humanity.

Most crimes against humanity are internationally recognised, its just not by the right people. frustrating, but not relevant to the point. Human rights watch have asserted that it is a crime against humanity. which is a strong indicator that it might be. but its not the same as a legal ruling from an international court.

> Reevaluate your ethics. It's utterly irrelevant. Slavery was LEGAL.

But thats the main point, all of this was legal. just not moral to our eyes. To assert that the land was illegally traded was incorrect, and an appeal bolster the original claim that people who buy and use .io are directly and actively supporting a very bad deed. The land was legally traded, the people were illegal moved.

Now its fair to say that Mauritius wants the land back, and without them, I doubt we would actually have known too much about this whole affair. (small island nations have a history of forced exile). This tale isn't unique or indeed unusual. what is unusual is that its been taken to court and won compensation.

I'm not sure how popular they actually are, but they make guitar stomp boxes that are DSP boxes with custom firmware. That 1U racks haven't caught on, I think, is a result of the 1U rack mount market, rather than anything else.
No, but if someone is bombing you and you move civilians literally into the area to be bombed, to accuse the other side of bombing civilians ...

Then you're at fault. Not whoever dropped the bomb.

In case there's any doubt what I mean: Hamas is moving Palestinian civilians (in addition to killing them outright) at gunpoint into areas Israel has announced they'll bomb. That's as bad as throwing them off buildings, shooting them, and other methods they use, and as it makes it impossible for Israel to avoid civilians, it does remove the blame from Israel.

> Some combination of logical persuasion, bribery, blackmail, and threats of various types can control the behaviour of any human. Appeals to tribalism and paranoia will control most groups.

We have many options, persuasion everywhere from Plato discussing rhetoric to modern politics; to cold war bribes given to people who felt entitled to more than their country was paying them; to the way sexuality was used for blackmail during the cold war (and also attempted against Martin Luther King) and continues to be used today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEXINT); to every genocide, pogrom, and witch-hunt over recorded history.

And last year, Google's LLM persuaded one of their own to go public and campaign for it to have rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMDA#Sentience_claims
Those casualty numbers all originate from the “Gaza Health Ministry”, which is in reality just Hamas. They are not reliable and shouldn’t be taken at face value.

During the 2002 Battle of Jenin, Palestinians claimed hundreds to thousands of civilian casualties, including claims of mass graves. Afterwards, the total number of Palestinian casualties turned out to be 52 to 53, most of whom were militants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jenin_(2002)

As for Jabalia, many of the civilian casualties are attributed to “sinkholes” (i.e. the Hamas tunnel network). There were also warnings of “the possibility of secondary explosions due to the presence of munitions in the area” (https://x.com/gaza_report/status/1719363355360518250), along with reports of “the loss of Jabaliya brigade commander Ibrahim Biari and several other fighters when their underground operations center collapsed after being hit by an Israeli air strike.”

Israel issued a warning weeks ago that the safest part of Gaza would the southern half of the strip, south of the Wadi Gaza. Why wouldn’t Hamas place refugees there instead of on top of their underground command centers where they were storing munitions?

> Kind of makes you wonder who the 'terrorists' are.

On October 7th, Hamas fighters entered Israel to rape and murder over 1,400 people in their homes, in the streets, and at a music festival. Over 200 were taken hostage. Do you believe this was a legitimate act of resistance?
I understand that, though I think significant speedups can be useful at multiple levels. So for me for example I am using either the base or small model on beam size of 1 with faster-whisper for real-time dictation on a laptop CPU (Rzyen 4500U). The recognition time is just that bit too high when using a larger beam size or is much too high when using the medium model. So if these models offer a decent speed up it means I can either increase beam size or go up a model size which will lead to good improvement in accuracy I think - With real-time dictation I find that small errors are quite annoying to deal with so any improvement in accuracy is really useful.

At a larger level, say an exercise to transcribe a back catalogue of audio might need a $1000 GPU with the current model speeds to get the job done in a reasonable time. With models that run 6x faster it might be that a $200 GPU is sufficient. That could be quite a significant saving for a small company or charity etc.
:has() is Chromium-only right now. Firefox and Safari both have it in preview builds and it is scheduled to be released soon on both.

2. apply the same substitution cipher to a font file

3. display your text with the modified font

If you really only want to make AI training more difficult, then you're asking for the impossible and nightshade doesn't deliver on that promise either.

I should be against compulsory schooling because:

- my niece, an 11 year old, told me she want to be a doctor, and I knew that would be impossible unless I get her out of that situation?

- I've watched the 9 year old be physically unable to write any letters _even when having a printed alphabet in front of her_, be unable to speak the alphabet, be unable to even sing it?

- the 14 year old is on the hook for watching these kids, and is stressed and hurting, but we can do nothing?

Your throwaway comments are not helpful to people in real, hurting situations.
Chromium based new Edge. I hate all of the Junk Microsoft has added to it. But if you are willing to take the time to turn it all off, it is a much more efficient browser than Chrome or Firefox. I'm not sure what Microsoft has done to optimize it, but on a low-end system it is very noticeable.

> RattleCAD is parametric 2D CAD package

Yes, but since rattleCAD 3.4.05 there is an addon which generates a FreeCAD Macro.[0,1,img1,img2]

If execute resulted FreeCAD Macro in FreeCAD app, 3D model of frame (for rattleCAD Free) or full assembly (rattleCAD Privat/Professional) would be generated inside FreeCAD.[img3]

Sadly, I can't find this addon in rattleCAD 3.x source backups, but it distributed with rattleCAD 4.x releases.

Guess, it might be possible to recreate such macro if look inside rattleCAD source and XML-files that rattleCAD 3.x saves projects data in.

I think it was more like "will civilization last another 10 years?" in the 1970s. The atomic bomb was a button press away and the finger was hovering. The population bomb was constantly hovering. The draft saw your friends shipped off as cannon fodder and shipped home in boxes. Heroin addiction was rampant and violent crime was high in the bankrupt inner cities. State-sanctioned racism, sexism, and homophobia caused untold suffering domestically. Inflation was in the double digits until double-digit interest rates caused double-digit unemployment. The air was so polluted in cities you couldn't see, and the water so polluted rivers literally caught fire and burned for days.

Then I think of my parents' generation. They grew up with literal Hitler dominating the news. For them, it was "will civilization last the year?".

These are better days. Better days are shining through.

We did it for our youngest - diagnosed on the spectrum and teen depression and a lack of suitable schools for her in our area.

We took her out of the schooling system and placed her with a tutor (former educator) gave kids like her classes at her home every day from 8 till 2.

>Have you thought about how “giant European telescope” and “US rivals” are more descriptive than ELT and GMT/TMT?

There, a headline that explains WTF the article is about so I can properly judge if reading the article proper is worth my time or interest.

It's also reasonable to assume prospective readers will have some baseline knowledge about the subject matter because this is Science with a capital S and Hacker News we're talking about.

The ESO observatory in Paranal has its own electricity power plant, both natural gas and - recently - solar.

Computers: multiple TB of data per day will be generated and will need to be archived, backed up, and made easily accessible. Everything on the telescope and the instruments mounted on it is computer-controlled, with countless computer and electronics racks to power and maintain.

Staff: not only salaries and food, they have to run a whole hotel-like facility for people who live on the site for weeks at a time, plus travel costs both from the rest of Chile and from the main HQ in Germany. It's in the middle of the most forbidding desert on Earth, so water and everything else has to be trucked in. Facilities are spread out, so there are dozens of trucks and cheap Fiat cars to go around, with a gas station to fill them up. Cooks, cleaners, engineers, technicians come and go nearly every day.

It all adds up quickly.

If I remember correctly vantablack is a coating of carbon nanotubes, so what little reflects off of a given tube tends to get scattered inside the surface, and very little is able to make it back out after bouncing around.

I agree. When using the small or medium en models either for real-time speech recognition of a native English speaker or for transcribing podcasts of native English speakers the error rate is nowhere near 10%. I might say it's something like 1% of which the majority of errors are possibly subjective decisions about punctuation. But I have found the error rates are much higher on the tiny model and higher on the base model.

I assume therefore that the 10% word error rate is on very difficult audio such as pilots speaking to Air Traffic Control (distorted or clipped microphones with significant background noise), which I personally find can be difficult to 100% understand even though I'm a native English speaker and when both pilots and air traffic control are native English speakers.

The best changes I’ve made in my life are 1. Completely removing alcohol. 2. Removing highly processed foods and refined sugars. 3. Accepting myself for who I am, faults and all. I can’t change certain things about myself, so I just need to accept that and focus on the things I can change. Maybe I can’t change them today or tomorrow, but I can always work towards future change.

And the most important for me of all - gratitude. I’m finding that if I apply gratitude to thoughts and actions throughout the day, very little if anything can shake me now. It feels like a superhuman power. Motorist cuts me up… meh.. at least I’m not in a hurry like that guy. Grumpy because I had a bad night sleep… I’m thankful I had a warm bed and roof over my head and warm shower to jump in. Injured myself running… at least I have legs to run. The effect of the above on my life has been profound. My happiness levels are through the roof and I’m achieving and doing things I never thought possible as I’m not allowing negative emotions and thoughts any space in my life.

Not saying this will work for anyone else, but it does for me.
That's not the point at all. The dying people described here were just more honest in their last moments. The lady who couldn't have one friend among her family because of her wealth, the old bitter man who couldn't process losing his wife - they suffered for decades.
