That's why I call it autoassume
He might have gotten his citizenship due to the circumstances of his birth and parentage, but I'm sure I speak for most Canadians when I say: He's not our buddy, guy!
Maybe they should stop churning out shit, making always online shit, and just generally being shit.
Nice! Took me the better part of 5mins to dredge his name from the deepest folds of my memory, glad I got it right.
Just do what Professor Xavier does, use that big ol' noggin of yers to levimitate yerself so's it looks what like year walkins!
I know you're probably being sarcastic, but actually yes!
Cue a load of silly people not understanding what a wild animal is and getting bitten.
I remember hearing about them when they first started late research stages(like figuring out how to scale to mass manufacturing levels.)
Was it.....uhhhhh....snaps fingers what's his name, Dr Goodenough? The guy that was a major player in all our modern battery tech?
I mean, I'm sure it's absolutely accurate just based off the title.
Guaranteed Apple was hoping every living person and half the dead ones would buy 3 each. So, by that metric, it's not hitting expectations....because they're not making literally all the money....
Edit:
Apple sold just an estimated 37 million units in the first weekend of iPhone 16 pre-sales, down more than 12% compared to the same period last year
Point in case.
Limited Ground Operations
Oh, just like in Gaza?
She's so fortunate, she hits the dismiss button and automatically right back to full on sleep. Takes her under 5 minutes to get to sleep once the light's out. Me? Weirdly the only place I can fall asleep in less than 45 minutes is on a plane....
This is why I still have my alarm set for 4.30am, my wife's got 9 alarms evenly spaced over 45mins. They start at half past 7, luckily I'm well gone and already at work by that time. If I have a day off and she doesn't....I sleep in the living room.
Cool... unfortunately my search is not turning up much. SCI.ai a science geared LLM was about 30% of my search results over Google and DDG. The other 70% is about Sierra's Creative Interpreter, and a moisturizer additive had 2 hits.
Glad you gave me the synopsis, apparently I'm incapable of finding that info myself, regardless of what combination of AI/AGI/SCI/DIFFERENCES etcetcetc and nauseum.
Probably not. Been on the wait list for Lothian mental health since October 2021, called last week to check my place in the queue and estimated wait time. I've moved 10 spots since this time last year, and my estimated wait is still around 8 years.
I had these questions with the S20 FE. The only thing it had that I'd wanted really was the SD card slot. Looking into it after I'd gotten it, turned out the reason I was always missing calls was that the ringtone at max volume was so quiet I couldn't hear it from my coat's breast pocket. Like...the media played on the speakers was loud enough for me to hear clearly from my trouser's front pocket...so why the fuck was the ringtone so goddamn quiet?!?
Guy I used to know was working on this opensource self-love assistant.
Thing was pretty cool, ties in with VR porn, it moves in time with the actor. The vibrating chair would be a good fit for that "ecosystem." That's probably the only thing I can think of where it would be actually wanted. Well, other VR sim situations too I guess...
With all the FTC antitrust/monopoly cases rocking various sectors, I wonder if HP could FAFO for this shit. Not that it would actually effect me, not in the US, and I don't have an HP printer...just be interesting to see what happens.
Journey into self-hosting
So, I have a rpi4b that's currently running a VPN for family abroad. I'm just finishing setting up Ubuntu server 24.04LTS(I have limited number of USB sticks, and the largest is only 8gb, so this choice was one of size, I can go into ones I had considered before) on an old laptop. For my small business I've also bought a domain for a work email, and eventually a website both are/will be hosted externally as I don't want to faff about with securing those aspects on my home network. The VPN though, that is currently pointing to no-ip dns service, and I want to migrate that to both the laptop and my own registered domain. What's best practices here? I do need the VPN to exit through to my network, so that my MiL can watch UK streaming from abroad(TV licence shenanigans).
I bought a Surface Pro 4 - Update
So I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on the Surface Pro 4, trying to decide if I should pick one up and slap Linux on it. Opinions were.....mixed.
I got a decent deal on one, and that's partly why it's taken me so long to post an update. It was cheap because the previous buyer had returned it to the seller claiming that there were power issues. The seller said they hadn't encountered said issues in the hour or so of testing they did, and I call fucking bullshit! Once powered off or restarted it was taking up to 48hrs before it would grace me with booting up. And usable time ranged for 15mins to an hour before system lockup resulting in either a freeze until battery run out, or immediate system shutdown, and another 12-48hrs wait to power it up again. Obviously this is suboptimal.
Part of the issue, possibly unsurprisingly, was windows and the stripped down BIOS. After turning off secure boot, turning off the "battery saver" mode(restricts charging to 50% of total capacity) and scrubbing windows off the drive like a crusty booger...things have improved. I'm still unable to restart the device, restart powers down, but no power up. Wait times to power up again went from probably 36hrs average to 2hrs average, and if I just don't turn it off, the system is stable.
My time with Nobara on the surface has been really enjoyable, everything is just stock, I've not wanted to muck around too much and get attached in case I can't figure out the actual root cause of the power issues. As such, not really much else to report other than Nobara running well, and pretty much everything running as well or better than when windows was installed. Touch functionality works slightly differently in Nobara than Windows, but that's not really a bother for me.
If any of you greybeard wizards has any ideas on what might be happening with the power cycle issues I'd appreciate some suggestions. I think it may be a battery issue, but I'm waiting on a hot air station to be able to open it up and have a proper look at it's guts. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with temps, that was my first thought but that didn't pan out.
Thinking about buying a Surface Pro 4/5
Just putting out feelers, anyone here run Linux on a surface pro 4 or 5? What distro did you use, and how did it go?
Edit: I've pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I'll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I've gone with, etc etc etc.
OpenVPN and NoIP not playing nice
I've got OpenVPN running, and the NoIP DUC running, if I setup OpenVPN to use my current IP everything works well, can connect, and more importantly can access the Internet. If I configure it to use my DynDNS through NoIP then it allows my to connect, but I then have no access outside my local network. If I was just trying to access a server that would be fine, but obviously this is supposed to be a VPN.....
Is there any interest in "Homebrew Music" Community?
I've been making tunes for 20+ years, I'd like to post some somewhere for you people to probably not enjoy much as it's a bit shit.

Track I made a few months ago, and a picture to go with it by one of the AI generative programs.
Can't figure out how to reply to items in Inbox
Prior to 0.0.33 there were all the buttons below messages, vote arrows, show context, mark read and reply. Have they been hidden and I just don't know how to show them? Is this a bug? Am I dumb?
EDIT: Added my bug report as embedded post link.
EDIT²: Closing my bug report, solution is to long press on the username area of the message.
0.0.33 update log should mention this. It's a good feature, but frustrating if it's not mentioned in the documentation.
Edit³: I believe that the line in the changelog:
"Comment action bar improvements by @twizmwazin in #453" Refers to what is happening, I'm not entirely sure.
Hoping to drive more engagement here, sooooo....
What's everyone reading? I'm on book 10 of the Wheel of Time, and Creatures of Light and Darkness by Alan Dean Foster
I'm currently using the playstore version, should I be using the fdroid version?
The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.
