Does this mean calibre's use case is a digital equivalent of a shelf of books you never read?

I tried using Fluidsynth only to find that drums don't work. I looked around on github and found that they are toying with copilot to fix a related issue and that vibe code has already been merged 🙃

Linus: All those years of screaming at developers for subpar code quality and yet doesn't use that energy for literal slop

lord, this is so cursed, especially the gambling (though you could say all vibe coding is gambling, ha)

Lol at the sealion in that thread

I'm running Hyprland on my Framework 13 (not doing omarchy cause I'm a NixOS fan,

of course

Thanks, i don't speak english natively

the legal system is presently committed to treating similar numbers radically differently. No one can tell, simply by looking at a number that is 100 million digits long, whether that number is subject to patent, copyright, or trade secret protection, or indeed whether it is “owned” by anyone at all

If you look at data in the way that best obscures what it actually means, of course it can't be told apart from other data. Binary is simply a way to encode information that most often has an analogue equivalent. You can of course question the copyright of all works, but looking at them in a hex editor is almost a distraction.

Certainly, all around the world, legal systems have assumed that bits are a medium. But perhaps bits have no color. Perhaps homomorphic encryption implies that color is unmeasurable.

This is getting pretty close to technolibertarianism. Corbin, I like your posts but i can't get behind this

I've never heard of a function being called entire out of complex analysis. But still, it is zero at i.

One of my favourite musicians, Patricia Taxxon is quite vocal on being against intellectual property, but also that AI people should just be able to scrape everything and put it in their machine. It makes me sad.

Nice, the shift phone is pretty well supported on postmarketos and their choice of firmware looks consumer friendly

Just here to note that @dgerard had a clippy pfp before it was cool

Samsung developer sends AI slop to linux mailing list

A very big problem with this study is that participants that don't delegate are not asked to do anything regarding cheating, while the ones that do are presented with various choices that influence them. "choosing a setting on a dial that ranged from ‘maximize accuracy’ to ‘maximize profit’". In this way, it doesn't "control" for anything.

One of the authors is from the Center for Adaptive Rationality, obviously making a reference to the lesswrong CFAR.

I know I'm commenting on an old post but i just saw an AI modified version of this image. Didn't even realize at first, but text was cut off, punctuation was bad and the biggest tell was the slot machine picture. Why would someone do that?

I remember being disappointed how much latency there was when streaming with ffmpeg to my phone with some codecs. This sounds great!

That horse should be the mascot of this instance

Computers use both big endian and little endian and it doesn't seem to matter much. Yet humans should switch their entire number system?

E: this guy can't grasp the concept that left-to-right is arbitrary, which is really ironic given his point. Ok so in arabic it's exactly how this guy wants it, except no, the universally correct reading direction is left-to-right and arabic does it backwards just to be quirky🙄, and humans, just like programs, flip a bit to read it left-to-right, where it's the opposite of how you should be reading it! of course.

It's hard to come up with analogies for AI because it's so goddamn stupid. It's like if asbestos was flammable.

I don't know static site generators, but I took a look at your site and the text doesn't render! The font file appears to not be good. Also sorry for having to move to another software.
