Re:FEX-emu – run x86 applications on ARM64 Linux devices on Friday November 21, 2025 @06:08AM (#46003359)
I have the azus ZenBook a14 with X Elite, 32GB ram, 1TB SSD. Overall it works great on Ubuntu concept. Only speakers and camera do not work (I heard speakers can work with some risk). I just use usb headphones instead and my webcam. The laptop itself is very light with long battery life. I expect it to be better supported at some point hopefully, but it's getting there.

This is an organizational problem. You should not have that many meetings. People need to learn how to write. I manage people and we work fully asynchronously by using gitlab to its full potential. I have close to zero meeting a week. Everything is in writing. We write epics for new features and discuss there. A

It's a meme in the monero community. "Don't buy monero". Monero fees are actually really low. On average 0.021 cents right now.

They say it doesn't apply to Canada. What prevents a Chinese company to open a business in Canada and get access to US A.I software without the license?

>And worse, the `?` postfix in Ruby normally means the method returns an actual boolean, not a "boolean context"

That's not true. Predicates methods returns Truthy or Falsey values. Not necessarily booleans. See http://blog.leshill.org/blog/2012/03/25/a-question-of-truth....

Where do you see they are offering an SDK?

I only saw that there is an iOS app and a web interface.

Re:Rethinking Sleep on Monday September 24, 2012 @03:21AM (#4563576)
That doesn't mean anything. You need a real study (placebo works great you know). crntaylor is right. The sleep stages differs a lot between individuals. You need to analyze brain waves in order to be more precise (you could also try to detect movements like the "Sleep as android" app on android. But that's far from perfect.)
Re:New Apple maps app under fire from users on Friday September 21, 2012 @01:45AM (#4552494)
>The moment I diverged from its route, without me doing anything, it replotted a new route, and then a series of new routes as I ignored those directions, until I got to Roosevelt and followed its directions the rest of the way there --- which were much better than the route I would have taken.

That's how every directions' app is working. You are seriously impressed about that?

Don't forget Rubinius! No GIL neither.
Re:Myndpage: Upload your brain on the Internet. on Friday September 30, 2011 @03:51AM (#3056115)
Hi everyone,

For the past few months, I've been working on a social network project called Myndpage, a social network of brains. The idea is to upload your brain on the Internet.

Why? There are multiple reasons. First, seeing your brain for the first time is a nice way to get a better understanding of yourself. What really matters to you, what is central in your life. Secondly, looking at your friends' brain is a wonderful way to know them better!

But that's not all, Myndpage is a new way to find people who think like you. For each set of two individuals, we compute a value called Myndness. The Myndness is a similarity percentage between two people's thinking. Right now, believe me, no other web service can do that in such a precise manner. Whether you're looking for business partners, drinking buddies, the love of your life or just feeling like comparing your way of thinking to your friends', Myndpage is the right place for you.

Comparing your thinking to your friends' on specific Themes, like computer science, sitcoms, tentacle-porn, etc, is easy, fun and an interesting way to find out what binds you to them. Remember that nice girl you met yesterday at the bar? How nice would it be to have a tool that instantly tells you how much you share with that person? How she sees, feels and thinks the world? This is exactly what Myndpage offers.

How? Simple. You are going to tag words. 4 tags for each word in your brain, that's all it will take for you to get started on Myndpage. You'll probably agree with me if I tell you that the way you use and choose your words makes up who you are. Words are the vehicle that convey your thoughts to the person you're talking to. Your education, emotions and overall life experience define what a word means to you. That's why we ask you to digitize the links between the words in your brain. Show everybody how you define the world.

Here is an example with my Myndpage: https://myndpage.com/david . Here are two graphical representations of my brain https://myndpage.com/david/nodes (chrome (or any high performance js engine browser) is highly recommended) and https://myndpage.com/david/arc . As you can see I'm constructing a graph of your brain and you can navigate it.

We're still in beta now, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Also, considering that we're not native english speakers, any corrections regarding language are welcome. =)

This being the first batch of invitations we won't be giving away more than a few hundreds so be quick if you're interested!
