- Thanks for sharing that. Interesting how there was a solution to a problem that didn't really exist yet.. I mean, I'm sure it was there for a reason, but I assume it was more things like wrongful attribution, missing commas etc. rather than outright invented quotes to fit a narrative or do you have more background on that?
...at least the mandatory automated checking processes are probably not far off at least for the more reputable journals, but it still makes you wonder how much you can trust the last two years of LLM-enhanced science that is now being quoted in current publications and if those hallucinations can be "reverted" after having been re-quoted. A bit like Wikipedia can be abused to establish facts.
- I won't pretend to know where you live or what those people's desires are but I definitely started homeschooling after the last US administration took moral volatility to new standards. The principles taught in schools just did not align anymore with what was common sense when I was in school and what I believe in. Now before you judge, I'm not looking for a fight. My wife and I have both master-degree educations in CS and law and our four kids have been to public school in the US and abroad, they've been to an evangelical christian school, and now that we've decided to homeschool for two years, we're not likely to take them back. The traditional school aspects take up 2-3h per day at most, then comes the school of life: raising and caring for animals and plants, fixing the truck or other engineersy activities and of course plenty of fun activities outside of the too-busy-to-be-fun times. My kids have learned of historic events such as Jamestown, Gettysburg or Mount St. Helens at the actual site of the event, they've been to most of the national parks and the fear of being socially-disconnected is not more than a fear before you start. Heck, thanks to Starlink they can even talk to their friends while we're driving through a desert.
Now let me also say that preparing the curriculum, ordering the materials etc. takes a lot of effort and discipline. It's definitely almost a full time job and I'm blessed with an amazing wife that's gifted in all that but the reward is more than worth it. Also, if you're thinking about it, many states have home school support programs and put you in touch with other home schoolers in the area.
- Maybe I missed it but I couldn't find where to install it from and autocomplete doesn't resolve to a debian package either...
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit?tab=readme-ov-file#...
So with a newer non-LTS ubuntu you can just apt install lazygit, with 24.04 it's
``` LAZYGIT_VERSION=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases/..." | \grep -Po '"tag_name": "v\K[^"]') curl -Lo lazygit.tar.gz "https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases/download/v..." tar xf lazygit.tar.gz lazygit sudo install lazygit -D -t /usr/local/bin/ ```
- Exactly and that's why the US should be called a Constitutional Republic. At state level it's often much more democratic but federally, the US is not a (direct) democracy and shouldn't be called so by the media in matra-like manner. Watching CNN or MSNBC with bourbon shots on "democracy" is a drinking game that typically won't last the evening.
- For good reason. That's what being in charge means. Biden had to take the blame while he obviously wasn't capable of being in charge. But it does always seem to be exploited beyond reason by the opposition. I'm very curious on what do non-diehards think on Dems blocking the clean bill and on keeping funds flowing for themselves to stay in session.
Please don't start a flame on this. If you can't stand trump, make it an exercise in self-control and skip the reply on this one.
- Background is probably a bit lower depending on where you're at. My counter went through airport security luggage scans 'cause they wouldn't let me wear it through the metal detector. It beeps for a few seconds and then comes out about a days' dose of natural radiation higher. The count was higher than 300 CPM, but obviously only shortly. That poor bloke might stay at 300 (if ingested and he can't scrub it off) for a while but it's still not very discouraging long-term. Pilots have about that at cruising altitude.
- I see that and I'm not trying to pick a fight but that argument only covers 50%: am I allowed to not question my beliefs when they are held true by my experiments and observations? (Rhetorical)
Beliefs become religion when you have that choice to make and then you should absolutely not publish against your better judgment for any sum of money but work on your belief system. What I'm saying is that it still is not a requirement to science to challenge your beliefs because when you miss or omit that part your experiments and observations are still of scientific nature ergo challenging your beliefs is not a requirement to science [my original claim]. You're free to challenge them down the line with your own experiments and observations for me, giving me a chance to reevaluate my beliefs.
- Honestly the overburden to the health system sounds like lame excuse. We don't have an overburden there because of the massive consumption of raw milk. Try to buy some legally and you'll get the picture of how hard it is to find and how expensive it is. I'll happily wave any rights to be emergency treated for any reason (traffic accidents included) if you grant me the right to live in peace and buy the milk and meat from sources I like because that's what this freedom is worth to me.
Anyone that I know that drinks raw milk, raw uncured meats, untreated water hasn't seen a doctor in over a decade.. not terribly scientific but a good indicator that I won't buy pharma-money backed "scientific" studies that show that low-fat, low-sodium and oats-in-cereal-bars are the solution to health issues. I'm all for science and capitalism but they're both not substitutes for common sense.
- YES!
The article (no surprise from AP) goes a long way to make sure the negativity vocabulary soup is complete against all conservative voices that advocate self-determination.
Please don't take away my freedom by dictating my health choices, esp. when you live in a concrete jungle and eat fast food at least five days a week.
- UBS bank mandates their "Secure Access" app as second factor even when logging in from a desktop. They used to allow the smart card reader for existing customers that had it as a work around for a few years but they disabled that.
Also many websites are making it remarkably hard to not use the app if they even remotely sense you're not on an actual PC. FB and LinkedIn aren't banks but prime examples.
- It's not like they're the only bullies in town (@bigG: try to remember "do no evil" and you were an actually cool tech company rather worth applying to, worth having on your resume).
I paid for Prime Video to remove ads only to find that now they'll play skipable ads again at the start of a movie and this time I don't even have the option of paying again..
I'm not against big profits, and I'm definitely not in favor of more regulation to attempt to fix it but I am against mico-maximization of profit with obviously consumer-unfriendly behavior. The way to fix it, IMHO, is to start over with yet another small guy that comes in and does it right. Angel Studios is doing pretty good and although the content selection is much more limited, the overall vibe is great, feels safe to leave children around for more than 2 minutes (unlike youtube kids).
- As if name calling was gonna help. It's not just free speech when you agree with it. Competition remains a good thing and honestly, the obvious liberal bias (remember the black female pope pics on Gemini?) on virtually all other platforms makes it an appealing alternative for the more nuanced for exactly that purpose.
- Good article. I remember being very skeptical of Athlon because the K6 I owned before was subjectively muss less stable than any Intel I had used until then. So felt it was only a question of time until IA64 would establish itself. Since, after all, Intel had the power to buy itself into a leader position. That feeling that AMD isn't quite as stable never really left until a few years ago, where with Spectre, I then thought that Intel was now playing catch-up with mobile-phone-like tactics rather that being design-superior.
Now again, Intel had a great opportunity with Xe but it feels like they just can't get their horsepower transferred onto the road. Not bad by any means, but something's just lacking.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm is announcing it's snapdragon X2 .. if only they could bring themselves to ensuring proper Linux support ..
