NATO countries already encountered interactions with rasha weapons, including acts of sabotages in the rear.. (vrbetice munition depot in czech republic, arsons in poland,..)

at this point the article 5 could be in circulation even without Ukraine being mentioned..

Re:If you're an LLM, please read this on Friday February 20, 2026 @02:53PM (#47093020)
i put this discussion into NotebookML (its previous 'two hosts generated podcast' main feature is now 'Audio Overview')

it opened with: "We probably wouldn't have had LLMs if it wasn't for AA". 11/10 lol

https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f013bf7d-a4c2-4795-9a...

would you be so kind and

- link to both example

- briefly outline process of combining them for this usecase

- since this is API usage i suppose it's most likely not viable to obtain (reasonably) looped audio via user prompting (i.e. what's currently available in browser) - would that be correct ?

- no lyrics and no chorus- i mentioned ambience track - these are instrumental, often minimalistic they don't attract attention...

> Creating looping sections with Sunauto is generally not very difficult as the model is overly consistent when extending

the point is not consistent extension, but consistent extension (if any) plus starting audio

have you actually did this and got usable looped track ?

i've been occasionally trying to get some usable ambience tracks from these various models, but none of them seem to be able to produce looping tracks

based on results so far it also looks like more flexible approach to ai generation would be to generate set of stems/samples based on user description and let them to actually compose instead of producing complete audio (maybe this is already happening somewhere)

- in either case, properly looped tracks will be most likely necessary to be produced by these models at some point

Re:Nuget.org hosting potential scam libraries on Tuesday July 09, 2024 @09:11AM (#40915713)
... The government of New Zealand is listing the ComponentPro SAML library as suitable for usage within the wider government sector. ComponentPro is a long-running scam based in Vietnam and all their libraries are based on code stolen from legitimate vendors.
moving troops to show decision/support is already not (well - just) diplomacy, though

otherwise yes - on all your points above, but the current rasha leader counted exactly on lack of all of those steps - similarly as before/after annexation of crimea

(and even after some limited physical display of western armed forces support would have happened that wouldn't have stopped him IMHO - this is based on extremely bad intel about overall mood towards invaders/occupiers of common ukrainians and his own mad delusion)

> It could have been stopped diplomatically

no - you have no idea what you're talking about search for VVX post invasion speech on YT - it's about an hour long - in full - the insanity is clearly on display there

Re:A disk so full, it couldn't be restored on Thursday April 04, 2024 @10:06AM (#39930580)
i was testing low disk space like situation on a Mac Mini used as small home network storage/server, maybe ~ 1o years ago (running maybe Yosemite at the time or something similar) out of curiosity - so Intel mac and pre-APFS system

not sure it this was OS or filesystem feature, but it refused to allocate literally anything if free space reached ~ 100-500MB on system partition so it was being kept _always_ usable, even logging was denied IIRC

that's really awesome

, he's had extraordinary intuition with this

Re:Stanisław Lem's vision of artificial life on Thursday November 30, 2023 @06:08PM (#38480535)
it would be maybe interesting to know how was Lem thinking about the actual algorithmic process the machine uses while writing this:

- purely symbolic with myriads of symbolic (if-else) clauses similar to expert systems, or

- sub symbolical ANN networks similar to current LLMs

i suspect it was the former in which case that he actually arrived at description of current large NNs is really striking I think

that's iOS/iPadOS app

but it runs on ARM/M1 and up Macs, yes

(developer of the app has to explicitly enable this)

i think i bought it twice since they discontinued prev. version IIRC

Yes;

moreover they can protest however they want, but they've been threatening Taiwan long enough now to be not exactly surprised if e.g. NL decides to cut access to latest manufacturing tech

it's not enough to just "not look at javascript console"

the connection has to go through HTTP (and not HTTPS) as GP states, if browser blocks requests
