specially when I don’t see anyone, I don’t want to keep sweeping my eyes through mirrors…
those that don’t use blinkers at all do use mirrors, right? OH.

Imagine having two keyboards just to put your hands in each of them and, like play 4 keys from each… without moving your arms at all…
- Comment on Self-Hosting A Cluster On Old Phones 1 week ago:
Adding a high quality smart switch to a 5-year old battery might do some good, of course. But this is a cluster of old batteries, all in bad shape for many years of usage under different circumstances, temperatures, etc. And they’re all different models. Each battery will need a different time for going from 20 to 80%… it’s wild.
I do this kind of risk assessment on the worst scenario, a fire could turn your home into ashes. The only option to me, being strict, would be removing those batteries (after all, your main goal is to re-use the other hardware.) But that’s only possible in a handful of phone models… it’s just unfortunate. I guess I should get a FairPhone next time!

This doesn’t address the fire hazard at all.

I havent read the paper and surely he did a great job. Regardless of that, and in principle, anyone can do this in less than hour. The trick is to get an external confirmstion for all the discoveries you’ve made.

That’s probably the pricing before including anything (cpu, ram, ssd, ports.)

- Comment on Tea time 1 month ago:
Agreed. And I have to say, to me it did seem like a reaction that came from rock bottom (in his individuality). And it was interesting to see other healthcare companies (like the one called blue-something) revisiting their recent measures on screwing people…
This reminds me of anarchistic work from Severino Di Giovanni…
- Comment on Never in my life has it been harder to control my spending impulse than this moment 1 month ago:
iirc the admins and users from hexbear already moved to another platform (not lemmy), this is just what 1 admin decided to do some time before that ‘split’ happened (again, the majority already moved out)
- Comment on Tea time 1 month ago:
I agree… like on a theoretical level. Then, USA is what it is, with their school shootings and all. So, what Luigi Mangione (or someone else) did should be seen in that context. There’s a certain virtue in knowing to direct your anger/ despair to those causing, enjoying, and profiting over your misery. And it wasn’t a mere revenge act, it was full of symbolism.

Another remake movie that’s not better or even up to the standard set by the original. At least they didn’t spend a whole lot of money.
- Comment on The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied. 1 month ago:
Not one mention to moderation. The strength and focus of our “small isles” is on taking control of moderating the contents. We can stop fascists posts, and we can share alternative narratives (e.g. solarpunk) to Sillicon Valley. Plus, spoiler alerts as content warnings, etc. I think mastodon with their covenant is the greatest example of this ethos.

And it has glycosides too! So it may also be toxic to humans.

PS. I just started to watch “zero day” Netflix series, with Robert DeNiro. It’s quite good. But I thought it was the Russians…
- Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point 2 months ago:
Not sure if this is what you’re are after, but github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot allows, among other things, to share the Ethernet-connected PC internet (with VPN if needed) as a WLAN for TVs, Phones, etc.

To make things more infuriating, Meta was found “unable” to stop or censor hate speech in many opportunities…

Not exactly sure of what “dominating” a market means, but the title is on a good point: innovation requires much more cooperation than competition. And the ‘AI race’ between nations is an antiquated mainframe pushed by media.

“Facebook” is an equally alienating name if you don’t know English. But I agree, German is difficult!

Did anyone read the grammar of graphics paper from Hadley Wickham? I kind of enjoyed it a lot, and got to know what’s the power source really. I’m amazed so many software libraries came to reinvent compossibility in such unergonomic ways… But it’s nice to have options.
I think I might prefer base R over matplotlib though… :p

Can you do a plot a hundred times with a hundred different datasets with these templates? Without having to apply such template to each file, just pointing to the folder with them…
To me that’s the whole point of programming, you can automatically do a thing and it doesn’t matter if it took an hour to write the code. Once you have it, you point it to the folder with all datasets, iterate over while you drink a coffee and then you have the hundreds of plots.

I only learnt this recently, buy snail depictions were ubiquitous in gothic manuscripts’ marginalia. Oftentimes, with social implications, very much like satire. The snail, being slow and seemingly harmless, simbolizes futility or absurdity of certain endeavors. There’s many interpretations among historians and art enthusiasts.

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality (“garbage”) information or input produces a result or output of similar (“garbage”) quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.
There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless…
