There's a strange issue in the emulator world... I won't call it credit-stealing but it's similar.

The short form is that there are some developers who *actively forbid* distribution of binaries you create simply on the grounds of "Your shitty build will send hate my way and I don't want that."

And it's true. I know several people who maintain emulators and hot damn do some people on the internet go "I used your emulator and my computer crashed/wife left me/dog died, you suck!" only to find out that this person is running xXxHotTaterBucketXxX's build from 3 years ago that has more bugs than a cricket farm. This happens on a surprisingly regular basis too.

I maintained a very small tool at one point that handled patching PSP games. someone about once a week would email me and every time they had an issue it was boiled down to "you downloaded a version of this tool off a forum from somewhere with unofficial patches." Getting people to download a new version was hard.

The vast majority of people who use emulators don't know the first thing about how they work nor do they care. they want their games and they want them now. and anything that stands in between them and their goal is literally hitler.

It's pretty clear to me (by triangulating his other written output) that 1984 was based on the notion that if cheap rifles produced Liberté, égalité, fraternité, then nuclear triads would produce oligarchies.

If the drones are going to be doing all the fighting now, I sure hope they eventually get the vote? [I'm still curious what the arabic in "Malak" (2010) says]

I eventually figured (even if not syntactically obvious, eg 02014) that 2014 was 5774/1435; thought my excursion into Social Choice Theory had ACK'ed? — or had I picked the wrong rabbit warren?
This quote you're mindlessly parroting is about private consequences (like boycotts). If the government could punish you for your speech, it wouldn't be free speech.
As a user evaluating a tool like this, I definitely don’t need a “lifestyle that includes life philosophy”.
Road wear scales with the fourth power of weight over the axle so, even with personal cars getting heavier, I’m not sure that moving people from cars to trains makes much of a difference – I think most wear typically comes from heavy vehicles or weathering – so it mightn’t make much difference to repair costs.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t other advantages. Eg reducing parking spaces (as a sibling points out) to increase urban density is probably good for the economy, and time on a train can be better spent than time in a car because one doesn’t need to pay as much attention, which could be a small improvement to many people’s lives.
People had drawn and quartered Microsoft because of simple access elevation prompts (UAC) in Vista, let alone a granular permissions system. It had to be dumbed down significantly over the years to be widely accepted.

People have been doing the same for Apple when it tried to bring explicit app permissions to MacOS. https://tidbits.com/2024/08/12/macos-15-sequoias-excessive-p...

Ralph just told me that no Bosch connector will be supplied. The Bosch connector where the Bosch Powerpack is normally inserted will have to be dismantled and then the Gouach holder cable must be solderded on to it which is very dangerous to do yourself because of short-circuiting, which may cause explosion of the battery and heavy fire.

I have a similar "user profile" and find typst a much better experience. It's true CeTZ is not as mature, but it's much easier to extend where it's missing functionality (because you have a nice, normal scripting language to work with instead of a macro mess). But math is the reason I smile every morning when I open my .typ files. It's so clean and readable, and a pleasure to write, compared to LaTeX. It's also not as mature so I can imagine some things can be tricky to do in typst depending on your needs. But it does everything I need, and is only getting better (I see that several of the annoyances I found are getting fixed in the next release).

Can't comment on the AucTeX part, I'm using helix and typst support is not great but good enough.
And again: What's wrong with that?

Does someone know what FLUX 1.1 has been trained on?
I generated almost hundred images on the pro model using "camera filename + simple word" two word prompts, and it all looks like photos from someones phone. Like, unless it has text I would not even stop to consider any of these images AI. They sometimes look cropped. A lot of food pictures, messy tables and appartments etc.

Did they scrape public facebook posts? Snapchat? Vkontakte? Buy private images from onedrive/dropbox? If I put as the second word a female name, it almost always triggers nsfw filter. So I assume images in the training set are quite private.

See for yourself (autoplay music warning):

food and stuff: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdeXEBDK/

[edit]
Looking at these images feels uneasy, like I am looking at someones private photos. There is not enough "guidance" in a prompt like "IMG00012.JPG forbid" to account for these images, so it must all come from the training data.

I do not believe FLUX 1.1 pro has radically different training set than these previous open models, even if it is more prone to such generation.

It feels really off, so, again, is there any info on training data used for these models?
How is it related? I don't see any immediate connection between an essay on mental health and a note taking app.
In fact, IF does not want to replace any application. The purpose of creating IF is not to compete with other applications; that would be boring. There should be an application in this world that highly values design and is an offline-first content and data system where different content modules can interact with each other. The reason I chose to say it's a Typora alternative is because IF's goal is so ambitious that before it's 60% complete, people can't possibly understand what IF is in just one or two sentences.

So if I get this right, there is an infinitely small possibility that a cracked egg returns to its initial state.
Imagine that happening and being put on video. We'd all believe we're living in a simulation and witnessed a glitch.

No-one would believe the scientists explaining that although highly improbable, the uncracked egg does make scientific sense.
> In the same thread from the author, they mention that asmc is a fork of JWasm 4, which was written in C. Maybe it’s as “easy” as swapping out one for the other - using gcc to build jwasm, then using jwasm to build asmc?

You can probably skip that and use one of the nasm-compatible assemblers directly with 7zip's build process instead...

> Even if I did want to use the prebuilt version, it’s dynamically linked to glibc so won’t work on alpine.

I imagine the gcompat package will get it running.

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs

The 7-zip code does admittedly scare me a bit at times, but the fact that it can be a pain to build isn't really that big of an issue. A lot of stuff is a pain to build. Like Chromium.
Wow nice! :) haha
I have always and continue to feel this view of “food is an escape for cuz” model is wrong in line with the the “it’s about lack of will power” we are seeing with all these glp-1 drugs that are helping people that a big proportion of our population have what amounts to a hunger/craving defect and are just living how we all naturally do when listening to our body, but because something has messed up their balance they end up overweight instead of just maintaining their weight.

I’m hoping we at some point have a “lead in gas” moment and discover some culprit in softening agents in plastics or preservatives in foods that we find out is messing up peoples systems. I could imagine that there is something that has a minute effect on the short term and doesn’t show up if you only look at people for 1-2 years but causes significant disruption on the timescale of 5-10 years of exposure.

The obesity epidemic seems to have started in the 1960-1970, so the sedentary lifestyle of computer focused work came later, but it is still recent enough that culprits in the mass produced uniform product market could be a cause, or the advent of one type of fertilizer or antibiotic given to animals etc.

I have had the same problem with hugo upgrades. A few tweaks here and there to the template and then found the problems became too great to bother and ended up replacing the entire theme. Even though the new theme was up to date about 5 minor versions ago its already throwing a couple of warnings.

Hugo is one of those tools that seems to have a forward compatibility issue and a lot of rot happens to your sites theme without a bunch of work. Can't say I am a big fan of that I mostly don't want to have to deal with these sorts of problems on a static site generator.
Depends on country as well. There was recently a case in Finland where a couple of people found issue in certain locks made by Abloy. They were offering to sell the details to Abloy and suggested that they could alternatively publish them in Youtube. They were found guilty for extreme blackmail (I'm not sure if extreme is the proper term in English, essentially just more extreme form due to e.g. demanding a lot of money). They are planning to appeal it so there is chance it will get overturned.
It really depends on whether you take the term tense to refer to a semantic category or just a set of constructions (surface forms).
Why Dom96 Left Nim?
I'm a veerryy casual Nim learner, only experiment with it when not occupied with office work or another hobbies.

Eventually I know Dominik Picheta a.k.a dom96, a very notable Nim contributor:

- Nim in Action (I learnt mainly from this book)

- Tools like jester, choosenim, etc

left the community. The only I clue I have is his tweet: https://x.com/d0m96/status/1592827547582332929?lang=en. Unfortunately the link quoted in his tweet is already deleted so I'm still unsure what the context was.

Perhaps some Nim community members can give some insight?
This is insanely overdue.
Life has different stages, and the thoughts at each stage are completely different; don't be so absolute.
No, ending proprietary software does not end copyright. Even after reading your arguments, I'm not sure how you got to that conclusion.

You argued quite the opposite, in fact, by claiming copyright (and not license terms) ensures open source software.

It is entirely possible to ban proprietary software in cases of human rights and public interest (e.g., open source medical firmware, to use the OP case) while maintaining copyright law even as it exists now.

Which are used to justify expensive non-Advance tickets.

Sometimes I wonder if internet causes more harm than good and whether it’s even worth it.
The author of this issue is the main developer so I guess they want it done, just had other priorities.

I agree typst needs better debugging tools, but you're a bit harsh. It has things like `repr` that can often be used to inspect objects, and `panic` can be used as a (admittedly crappy) substitute for printing a value to the console.
There are many hints at psilocybin not being different to LSD, some researchers opted for psilocybin for trials just because it was less known to the wide audience and had less cultural baggage than LSD. There are some comparisons, e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-023-01607-2
That figure includes every single government-owned street, AFAIK. Total infrastructure costs are higher but don't seem that much higher than in Germany?
You could take Uber's approach. Ignore regulations. Focus on delivering such massive value that the regulations are changed to suit you.

Yes, that is the job of a journalist. I.e. it’s why they get paid.

> whilst being factual.

IIUC, there is no such requirement. Approximately nobody cares if what is written is strictly true or not. There are no negative consequences if something untrue is written. (Except for libel and other special cases.)
I use typst to generate PDFs on the fly in my sass-platform. The only other reliable ways I could find to do that was by using LaTeX (slow) or various WebKit-based tools (also slow, and in carious states of unmaintained/deprecated). It works like a charm.
My friend once described to me how mushrooms differ from alcolhol: With mushroom you get the hangover first and then the high. With alcohol it is the opposite.
Don't get me wrong, OSS does not mean it will build in any random configuration on any distro. The source is there.
Maybe 7zip could do better, but still...
Well, "present perfect" would refer to a specific construction that has both tense (vs. past perfect) and aspect (vs. present continuous).

But as per my other comment, if you're just listing all the constructions an English word can take for your students to memorise, you can just call them all tenses and be done with it.
Where? I don't see any explanation of model optimizations in the linked post.

Are you for real? Event sponsorship is part of the marketing budget. They're there to promote their company among competitors. It's a universal business expense.

ACF is their own asset

> makes you immune to the consequences of speech from the state

Not all consequences, technically speaking. USSC has already carved out exceptions to that rule in various cases.

This said, you're correct that the quote about "not free from consequences" applies to private individuals and businesses but not to the State (specifically because of the First Amendment).
Does it though? Trains are almost empty most of the time.
Man… I am curious how much apples car would cost. Probably half a million.
The switching UI/UX is atrocious.
Hopefully they'll improve the reference system and multilingual support. But if you want a simple number for a reference, you can call "ref(<label>, supplement: none)", or if you want this to be the default for the @label shorthand syntax you can set it globally with "#set ref(supplement: none)".

Also typst knows the type of the referenced element. It's easy to write more elaborate rules that behave differently depending on the type. And the rules can also check the current language to generate localized references.
If you want a long-lasting laptop with great build quality, you might want to consider "business grade" laptops.

Yeah, I get that completely, I'm the same way. I just think it's interesting. It's kind of the same argument as piracy, since most people wouldn't pay for what they download if it wasn't free.
Nope, just the code which sets up the agentic system and related prompts.
The assumption that the app files would always use the same format and the same UUID algorithm in that format is a totally unnecessary tight coupling for a “loading UI”. The potential future costs isn’t worth it.

Adding layers, etc. Again, it’s a loading UI.

Obviously, we’re talking about a fantasy app here. I’m weighing options based on my understanding of it.
Thanks. I tried this a few different ways also, but it also needs the iPhone and iPad apps published on App Store, web server to sync across devices, and other things. I don't think that was solved in the ChatGPT you linked.

Just got the latest Apple Watch, so also glad to hear they perform better on HRV. It seems they get a lot of the little details better than competitors in the wearables space. I read previously about how they likely had the most accurate sleep tracking and also had some special sauce in their GPS handling code that made it outperform Garmin.
Cycling at 110F ambient temperature can be outright hazardous (speaking of Texas).

Cycling at 80F is okay as long as you have a shower at the destination. (Most offices don't.)

Also, cycling in a city, when you cycle for 2-3, maybe 5 miles, is fine. Cycling for 20 miles is pretty taxing and time-consuming, but in a low-density, car-oriented environment 20 miles correctly qualifies as "nearby".
Demand and supply is playing a big role in the valuations.

One could argue that absent a MnA ecosystem, investors only have a handful of opportunities to multiply their investment. It leads to simple handing-off to next round investors as the one and perhaps only opportunity to get returns on the funds.

Only recently has the ecosystem understood the potential for IPO in India as a potential for exit.

> But that's the problem. Wordpress is used for much much more. You can use it as a CMS, LMS, news platform, saas platform, and much more. You can literally customize it to the bone.

And that freedom is also its weakness. "When all you have is a hammer, ..." comes to mind.

I've had to rescue enough booking systems, LMS's, and SaaS platforms built on WordPress with terrible performance or 20% of features not working to think this is a terrible approach.

That's no bad thing. More specialised tools help with performance and UX for those tasks.
Can you estimate the dollar value of happiness?
Huh? Presumably "just use soft-wrapping" only applies to long lines. It isn't banning you from using linebreaks before function definitions. The next section is about linebreaks! Earlier on, it talks about lining thing up with tabs! It can't be advising you to write entire programs on one line.

But anyway, don't you have a code editor with a sidebar with function names, that you can click on to go to the definitions? Sounds like choosing to navigate via grep is the nature of the problem with grepability. And other search tools that aren't regex based can search for multi-line text. This isn't about plain text, it's about Vim. It's like saying "this farmer's field should be constructed differently because it isn't skateable".
Yes, but that’s what parent proposed? :shrug:
Dont care about artists opinion on rest of using AI tools instead of not paying them because I couldnt and wouldnt so theres no demand in the first place.

All I wanna know is the prompt that was used to generate the art speaking of which i wanna know how to create cartoony images like that OP
I can see how this would be a huge time saver!

If folks are going to use this for alt text or other accessibility purposes, maybe it's worth including in that text (or somewhere on the webpage) that the description is AI generated. Blind folks choosing to use AI tools on their own can do so with an awareness that the AI may sometimes make errors or hallucinate things, or leave out important elements. They can then try to account for those pitfalls when making decisions based on the text.

When someone reads alt text direct from a website, they naturally assume it was written by an actual person and expect it to be faithful to the image, without these kinds of issues. So while it's much better to have alt text than not to have it, it seems important that it not be unintentionally misleading.
I didn’t write an extended trip report of a massive dose of LSD because this isn’t erowid and the details of the trip itself aren’t relevant. I brought it up as an example to contrast the post I responded to, as my experience was different regarding long-term effects

I was very aware of and confident about the dosage and I had not had any psychedelics for months previous, so tolerance was impossible (also no medication or other drugs etc)
