I did this the old fashioned way with a Konica Minolta machine when I was about 20 in 2008 while bored working at a car dealership. A service technician resembling Santa Claus arrived one day to fix it (unrelated to my access attempts) and he told me how they still have the “lp0 on fire” error codes from when he first started working, when the printers had actual drums that could in some cases catch fire if there was a printer jam

That’s my favourite kind of game! Management simulation. Hate it IRL, love it for games.

This is the American Dream I’ve been hearing about

Is this not just part and parcel of how summarisation works?

Doesn’t work on mobile sadly, but I do love (the Swiss) Farming Sims :P I’ll give it a go on desktop later and give some feedback.

At least when tracking was unregulated, at least you knew who was by the cookie left in your browser, now I just assume everyone and everything is tracking me

While I appreciate the sentiment, the decline of American/Western companies into modern Puritanism is nothing new - but considering the staunch conservatism of the average Russian, I’d say they would do the same thing if they could, they just don’t have the engineering capacity to do the same thing.

There are a lot of them and not many of the dictators and his cronies. They could all do an uprising. It’s funny that a country with so much history of rebellion have leaders who have become so complacent

Incorrect, and the mental gymnastics at play here is rather telling

“That country over there is full of Nazis!” That does explain why they want in so bad then, doesn’t it.

This is funny. “Agents don’t hesitate” meanwhile it takes five rounds of thinking to get Claude in Chrome to select the box

Ahh that’ll do it. A shame really, the later models seem to be fairly good just from my idle testing as an enthusiast.

Is there something special about yolov8 over later models (9-12)? It seems most of the research and working examples default to v8 despite it being 3 years old. Or just because it is what fits on this hardware?

I didn’t know how electrolysis really worked, and probably still don’t but I know a little more, and these cheap ion filtering membranes are absolutely wild, and turning the graphite fire blanket into a super high surface area electrode is super interesting. I remember when he re-made the “lost” aerogel-like substance a while back and wonder if we can make graphite aerogel-likes using similar processes somehow for super high surface area electrodes. Sometimes I think I’m more interested in practical materials science than software engineering, but at 39 years old I am probably past the point of going to university to actually study. Of course, unless we all get UBI quickly because of Claude 8.5 taking everyone’s jobs.

Exactly this, I tend to work this way. I built an ingestion pipeline to pull concepts out of a novel using Qwen and push them into falkordb this way

This is embarrassing.

For my use case, wanting to see rendered markdown with images, fonts, working links, mermaid diagrams, code blocks etc and not wanting a bundled editor, the advantage is that it’s a small binary that I can bind to my keybinds, open, drag a markdown file onto, and view and have it hot reload was all I needed and thus all I implemented. If you like, you can use it, if not that’s okay.

I built a similar thing today for my hyprland desktop!

I wonder if they’re just activating small parts of the brain at once. It seems to me that they aren’t simulating every single neuron at all times, and I do not see being able to run the model in real time. Are they also modelling the ventral nerve cord for the walking?
