Yes, sure, that's the implication. But actually they just stole artwork representing the character Mari Ohara from the Love Live series.

It's such a tainting of an unrelated art piece with their inhumane ideology.

Ew "Difendere la famiglia tradizionale" under a blonde anime girl makes me want to hurl.

I agree. It immediately has that generative model look.

It's a bit hard to pinpoint, but I think the left upper arm looks a bit too thicc, with the armpit taking on certain vagina-like properties in the line work.

Parmigiano Reggiano and Brie are pretty legit I would say.

I hate the term "Swiss Cheese" though. There are loads of sorts of cheese here in Switzerland. None are called just "Swiss Cheese". If they mean Emmentaler they should just say so.

This is true, I checked the second to last time I saw this factoid posted, on reddit back then.

Here are my screenshots from the ordinance from that time: https://imgur.com/a/ZkTyEYq

The rule is defined in the Animal Protection Ordinance (AniPO) link at the bottom of this page: https://www.blv.admin.ch/blv/en/home/tiere/tierschutz.html

Sorry, what is the connection to any of what we said?

Ah, I see. Plural is vasa deferentia though. You have to put the noun itself in plural too, not just the participle.

vas deferential

Maybe you're making a joke I don't get, but otherwise: It's called vas deferens

If you read to the end, the article mentions that the first time Ferst tried to get sterilized (and her old doctor was being difficult) she still had a male partner. I think she's bisexual.

I would consider the A-Series of Samsung "mid-range". I know you said "lower" and "mid-range" is lower than "high-end", but I suspect tetris11's issue mostly applies to "low-end" phones. Something like a Motorola Moto G Play 2024

I was riding my bike home from work, and a cop directing traffic yelled at me to get out of the street.

Wait what did he want you to do? Ride in the pedestrian area with your vehicle?

You got two sixes and no seven there :)

I generally do mention that I like my Fedora KDE, but I'm a little worried about SELinux. I have had two or three run-ins with it, and I think that would be hard to diagnose for a noob.

No, they can't

"Main train line" what is that supposed to mean exactly?

What about Lausanne-Yverdon-Neuchatel-Biel-Solothurn-Olten? What about Basel-Olten-Luzern? What about Zürich-Zug-Bellinzona-Lugano? What about Lausanne-Montreux-Martigny-Sion-Visp-Brig? What about Bern-Thun-Spiez-Visp-Brig? What about Zürich-Pfäffikon-Sargans-Lanquart-Chur?

Basically just look at this interactive map if you want a fuller picture, or at this PDF if you want to see a reduced view about the long distance lines only.

And to everyone saying: "Well obviously it follows the valley!" The Mittelland is not some valley, it's a plateau between the Alps and the Jura mountain ranges and it contains about 30% of our area. Besides, you should know about the longest railway tunnel in the world, the Gotthard Base Tunnel and about the Lötschberg Base Tunnel and about the Simplon Tunnel. The Swiss rail system doesn't give up because of some mountains in the way.

All possible moves one step from a given position sure.

But if you then take all possible resulting positions and calculate all moves from there, and then take all possible resulting positions after that second move and calculate all possible third moves from there, and so on, then the possibilities explode so much in number that you can't calculate them anymore. That's the exponential part I was refering to.

You can try and estimate them roughly, let's say you're somewhere in the middle of the game, there are 12 units of each side still alive. About half are pawns so we take 1.2 possible moves for them, for the others, well let's say around 8, thats a bit much for horses and the king on average, but probably a bit low for other units. So 6 times 8 and 6 times 1.2, lets call it 55 possibilities. So the first move there are 55 possible positions, for the second you have to consider all of them and their new possibilitues so there are 55 times 55 or 3025, for the third thats 166375, then 9.15 million, 500 million, 27.6 billion, 1.5 trillion etc. That last one was only 7 moves in the future. Most games won't be finished by then from a given position, so you either need a scoring function or you're running out of time.

Okay good, thanks for confirming. I remember Kate feeling very nice to use during my studies, more responsive than VS Code or Eclipse. But I also had 16Gigabytes of RAM, so I couldn't be sure.

The lede by OP here contains this:

[...] addition to Xcode 16 [...] is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple’s claim that 8GB of unified memory was enough for base-model Apple silicon Macs, you won’t be able to use it

So either RecluseRamble meant that development with a feature like predictive code completion would work on 8 GB of RAM if you were using Linux or his comparison was shit.

You don't use it for the rule-set and allowable moves, but to score board positions.

For a chess computer calculating all possible moves until the end of the game is not possible in the given time, because the number of potential moves grows exponentially with each further move. So you need to look at a few, and try to reject bad ones early, so that you only calculate further along promising paths.

So you need to be able to say what is a better board position and what is a worse one. It's complex to determine - in general - whether a position is better than another. Of course it is, otherwise everyone would just play the "good" positions, and chess would be boring like solved games e.g. Tic-Tac-Toe.

Now to have your chess computer estimate board positions you can construct tons of rules and heuristics with expert knowledge to hopefully assign sensible values to positions. People do this. But you can also hope that there is some machine learnable patterns in the data that you can discover by feeding historical games and the information on who won into an ML model. People do this too. I think both are fair approaches in this instance.

The techradar article is terrible, the techcrunch article is better, the Flow website has some detail.

But overall I have to say I don't believe them. You can't just make threads independent if they logically have dependencies. Or just remove cache coherency latency by removing caches.
