They’re all using only the ‘uh’ non-silent vowel sounds in each word.
That ‘uh’ sound is apparently called the schwa in linguistics.

- Comment on Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. 2 months ago:
Interesting.
If they’ve built an app that can target non-christian demographics, then they’ve also built an app to target christians.
I wonder if they’ve made that realization yet.

Hey where you’d get that graphic from? Would be really nice to have a dashboard with all this info in one spot.
- Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for? 2 months ago:
Some thoughts:
Ubuntu, most likely
I’d encourage you to take a look at Linux Mint, it alleviates some of the Ubuntu fuckiness. And if you want to join the “I use arch btw” crowd, maybe checkout EndeavourOS if you’re feeling more brave than just Ubuntu variants (which is built on arch, but makes barrier to entry a little easier).
i9s are the latest hotness but don’t think the price is worth it
Take a look at last generation to soften the blow to your wallet. E.g., instead of looking at a 14900k, look at 13 or even 12 series. In fact, this is a useful strategy all around if you’re being price conscious: go one gen older.
GPU that can support some sort of ML/AI with DisplayPort
Probably going to want to go with a discrete card, rather than just integrated. Other major consideration is going to be nvidia vs AMD, for which you’ll need to decide if CUDA should be part of your calculus or not. I’ll defer to any data science engineers that might wander through this post.
The rest of your reqs pretty much come as regular stock options when building a pc these days. Though another nicety for my latest builds, is multi-gig nics (though 2.5Gb was my ceiling, since you’ll also need the network gear to utilize it). Going multi-gig is nice for pushing around a fuckton of data between machines on my lan (including a NAS).
Very last thing that I’ve found helpful in my last 3 builds spanning 15 years: I use newegg for its reviews of items, specifically so I can search for the term “linux” in any given product’s reviews. Often times I can glean quick insight on how friendly (or not) hardware has been for other’s linux builds.
And I lied, I just remembered about another linux hardware resource: linux-hardware.org/?view=search
You can see other people that have built with given hardware. Just remember to do a scan too once your build is up to pay it forward.
Good luck, and remember to have fun!

- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg: Tech layoffs in 2024 have been a natural response to pandemic-era over hiring 2 months ago:
You gotta give this guy some credit, hear me out.
Even as rich as he is, he still finds the time every single two weeks to visit some po-dunk community, miles off the main highway, not even a Walmart within two hours, simply to find good ol’ American salt of the Earth type people that don’t even recognize him.
Once he arrives at that destination, it’s not off to the most expensive kept-secret B&B, it’s not off to the most expensive trail boss for exotic hunting, no no, it’s to the cheapest fucking cost cutters barber that side of Oklabama to get that godawful Data-from-Star-Trek:TNG haircut.
Or at least I hope that’s the story behind his hair, because there can be no other plausible reason for it.

- Comment on Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins 2 months ago:
Aye, but a little more convoluted. TL;DR: Several new projects forked to avoid the enshitification, and with much time and drama, most of the actually active maintainers joined forces under the Tenacity name+repo. (And 4chan was part of the drama, because of course they were.)

- Comment on Dude, what are you doing? 😠 3 months ago:
The donkey likely can run faster at first, but it will need to stop to rest way sooner than the human.
It’s the same reason a human will always win against an equine in a long distance race: If the equine does not stop to rest, it will die for lack of oxygen.
Humans have evolved in such a way that we can fully breathe while running. Thus, we can hunt large game till they need to stop in order to fully breathe again, and then BAM!

- Comment on The US is investigating if Boeing ensured a part that blew off a jet was made to design standards 4 months ago:
In basic training our barracks would get “white glove” inspections, where the drill instructor would wear a literal white glove and run his finger over surfaces to detect anything that wasn’t clean, dry, and serviceable. And I’m not talking about just the obvious places, but also things like under the benches in the showers, or up and in a wall locker ledge.
The ultimate goal wasn’t to hand out demerits, it was to instill a sense of attention to detail in us. They asked us how could we be trusted to maintain nukes for example, when we failed to even find that stray clump of soap scum and pubes in the shower.
So that’s all to say: If the boeing apparatus is so fucked that doors are falling off their aircraft mid-flight, what the fuck else have they missed?
