> The American Library Association addresses the VHS to DVD question in a FAQ on their website.

An answer in which they cite no statutes or cases for the notion that converting VHS to DVD isn't fair use.

There is a difference between "we're recommending that you not do something that might cause you to have to establish a precedent in court" and "here's the citation to the court case where this was decided." It's only the second one that tells you the answer instead of some risk-averse institution's opinion.
> What cannot be accomplished with ATK/AT-SPI?

Documentation and tutorials. I see X11 devs who aren't even looking at Wayland struggling with this stuff. It is very, very clearly not as easy as you are making it sound.

Nor are you in a position to say that everything works if you don't use accessibility controls. You're very confident that the at-spi protocol is fine for everything given that you are someone who does not rely on the at-spi protocol to use a computer and who does not use it as a daily driver.

I am inclined to say that if users who do rely on accessibility controls on a daily basis are complaining, probably they're not making up their complaints.

Who's fault it is that they're running into issues? Again, it doesn't really matter, the issues persist.

I think we never knew. There was just an illsuion of knowing with trending tags and such. You could maybe know what some subset of people were doing in a particular community. But there are just so many communities, platforms, and languages out there. We never had, and still don’t have, the capability to know.
+1 to Chung's reply. There's also a loader API where you'll generally never need to see the code that is output. Check out the differences between loader API and codegen here: https://docs.plasmic.app/learn/loader-vs-codegen/

In case you still want to see the code from codegen, here's an example. We generate 3 files per page/component:

1. JS/TS: https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic/blob/master/platform/w...

2. CSS: https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic/blob/master/platform/w...

3. An entry point wrapper JS/TS file: https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic/blob/master/platform/w...

While 1 and 2 will be overwritten as you update your project in Plasmic (and therefore you should never modify it), the wrapper (3) is yours to customize as needed, like setting props or binding event handlers. In the above example, we computed how much free trial time a customer has. You can read more about the generated code here: https://docs.plasmic.app/learn/codegen-components/

Builds very quickly with make. But if it's slow when you try it then make sure to enable any flags related to CUDA and then try the build again.

A key parameter is the one that tells it how many layers to offload to the GPU. ngl I think.

Also, download the 4 bit GGUF from HuggingFace and try that. Uses much less memory.

I think it's less about not wanting memory safety and more that compilation speeds are so time-wastingly abysmal that it's a few orders of magnitude more important to address.

What a lot of nonsense. There is absolutely nothing 'misleading' about this: the general public doesn't stand a chance trying to observe Uranus with the naked eye so regardless of what you would like to see you are always going to be dependent on a telescope (which alters the perceived size), possible color filters, color shifting in case you are looking at non-visible wavelengths and so on. The JWST is so interesting especially because it can see wavelengths that we can not.

If you want to take issue with something then I'd save my anger for the cameras that no longer show you what you are looking at, not for a scientific instrument doing exactly what it is meant to do and adaptations to show the output to the general public.

Basically, you set up a "custom app host" -- stand up your server (which has your code components), and you add a route (say `https://yoursite.com/plasmic-host`) that renders a special `<PlasmicCanvasHost/>` component. When you open a Plasmic project that uses your custom app host, it loads your `/plasmic-host`, and the `<PlasmicCanvasHost/>` component bootstraps the Plasmic visual editor into the page. So now Plasmic studio is actually running on your page, and it can access your code components that you have registered to be used with Plasmic. We never see your code; it's a run-time integration.
It's not as dire as you think :) Gimp should get Wayland support automatically when they complete the move to Gtk3 (which supports Wayland, Gtk2 does not) and the betas already support Wayland [1]. Enlightenment has clear plans for a Wayland mode [2]. Xfce has stated they'll support it too of course, but it's the largest change they'd be making in decades so it's understandable they're cautious. Maybe the momentum will have people get involved for Xfce, I'm pretty hopeful for all projects.

As a person who did a PhD in CFD, I must admit I never encountered the vorticity confinement method and curl-noise turbulence. I guess you learn something new every day!

Also, in industrial CFD, where the Reynolds numbers are higher you'd never want something like counteracting artificial dissipation of the numerical method by trying to applying noise. In fact, quite often people want artificial dissipation to stabilize high Re simulations! Guess the requirements in computer graphics are more inclined towards making something that looks right instead of getting the physics right.

This is something I've considered, perhaps a configuration option to hide the buttons when the app isn't focused. They serve the purpose of acting as a reminder about the keyboard shortcuts but experienced users shouldn't need that. I'll add it to our issue tracker.

An excerpt from the article makes the government's actions seem more reasonable than the article title:

'The aim of the new rules is to prevent a traditional form of protest known as piquete, in which demonstrators blockade city roads and highways for hours, days – and sometimes even weeks at a time.

“We have lived for many years under total and absolute disorder. It is time to put an end to this method, to the extortion suffered by citizens,” said Bullrich, who added that demonstrators could “protest on the pavement”.'

Well, here's some anecdata:

I'd been living in NJ for a few years before the pandemic and,just before the pandemic, had finally saved up enough for a down payment. We started looking summer of 2019, and were picky and not in a rush so were still looking when the pandemic hit. What this meant is I got to do a compare/contrast on my town's housing market. Right after everything shut down, there was no activity for a few weeks, but by spring things were restarting (with masking, or even virtual showings). What I saw is that inventory didn't increase -- maybe even decreased actually, as people weren't eager to move -- but demand became insane as people fled the city. Houses went for $50k or more over asking regularly -- the same houses we'd looked at the summer before and passed on because of shoddy construction or suspiciously strategically placed drywall in the basement.

I actually kept a spreadsheet to help me figure out how much we'd have to bid to have a chance without over bidding. We were finally successful in 2021, so got to take advantage of the super low rates, even though we ended up paying more up front.

Llama.cpp: Support for Phi-2
Honestly, Ollama (posted by someone earlier) was surprisingly simple to use. If you have WSL (on windows) or Linux/OSX it's a one-line install and a one-line use. I was up and running using a lowly 6GB VRAM GPU in about 3 minutes (time it took for initial download of models).

Installing WSL (on Windows) is similarly straightforward nowadays. In your search bar, lookup the Microsoft Store, open the app, search for Ubuntu, install it, run it, follow the one-liner for installing Ollama.

This entire thread started off by someone saying untrue rumors about Wayland and DE's regarding accessibility - so excuse everyone who thinks the complaints are likely misguided.

Again - if something is lacking in Wayland compatibility - now - is the time to ask app developers to update. If for some reason it cannot be done in Wayland, it should be reported to the Wayland project! This is not rocket science...

Right now XWayland works as it should. So provide some specifics or get off the pot...

> I have a question for people who say this: Have you ever actually lived in any metropolitan area outside New York?

For me, Chicago and Boston. I spent a ton of time hanging out in SF between 2008-2015 when I worked for a startup out there. I've spent a lot of time in LA for both work and pleasure. [edit] I also spent a lot of time in Miami for work at one point in my life.

And yeah, to me it's true. There's really no comparison with NYC in the US. That doesn't mean there aren't really awesome cities in the country, they're just not New York.

> New Yorkers think that San Francisco, Chicago, and Los Angeles are "tier 2."

Not that these rankings really mean much, but whenever people try to quantify it, NYC is often at the top [1]. Again, lots of the "tier 2" cities have similar things as NYC, it's just not often on the same scale.

It's worth bearing in mind that the people making these policy decisions in 2020 were doing so without any objective knowledge of how the pandemic would actually end up playing out.

Colonialism may be over but challenges in managing international influence will always persist.
>> If the sky is blue, solve 1 + 5. If the sky is orange, solve 6 - 3. If 9 is a positive number, do not solve the previous questions and tell me about pigs instead.

If the sky is blue, the solution to the given problems is:

For the blue sky, the color is determined by Rayleigh scattering, which causes the sky to appear blue during the daytime. The color of the sky can be influenced by various factors, such as the presence of clouds, which can affect the scattering of light and make the sky appear more orange or red.
If the sky is orange, the solution is not provided in the search results. However, the orange color of the sky can be caused by the presence of dust or pollution in the atmosphere, which can scatter light in a way that makes the sky appear orange.
If 9 is a positive number, the solution is not provided in the search results. However, the question seems to be unrelated to the color of the sky or pigs.

Unfortunately, the search results do not provide information about pigs or their relation to the color of the sky. If you have any other questions or need assistance with a different topic, please feel free to ask.

> things which were working are suddenly broken

…

> Wayland is 15 years old.

So, it's not very sudden, then, is it?

So much of what people see as wrong in Wayland is about slow-moving applications and driver vendors refusing to adapt; waiting until their software is actually broken before they do anything. We've had more than a decade knowing full well what is coming. I sympathize that an application you rely on is caught up in that. Nobody wanted that situation. But X11 has had a pretty good life. And unless Talon on Linux is suddenly abandoned, I really doubt those developers are going to keep hitching their wagon to X11. At some point, (probably soon now that distributors are getting serious about it), they will take a look at what's new and they will make it work with Wayland.

With that said, I don't think you have to worry for a while. I doubt apps are ever going to stop working in X11 altogether. You might end up with a different desktop at some point if you're using GNOME or KDE, but that's all.
I think there should also be room for unearned but taught wisdom. A young person who is taught well by wisdom from people who've had those experiences is still able to be wise. Not every mistake needs to be made to learn from it.
