Dude I remember when you posted (for the first time?) last year sometime, and I immediately got hooked into doing like 50 stars of Hiragana training. Every few weeks since then your website has just gotten better.

The categories for confusable symbols, the picking and counterpicking modes including multiple morae sometimes, the foreign sounds, the achievements.

I’m astonished at your speed, really nice work, thank you so much!

Maintenance went so quickly we managed to travel back home in the same day and don’t need to stay at the hotel

I got a Technoline WL1030 meter for my room and whenever it reaches 1500 ppm CO2 I open the window until its back down below about 600-700, then I close it to not waste more heat than necessary

Edit: To give some more context, my room is 14 m^2 and about 2.50m high so roughly 35 m^3 of air minus some occupied by furniture call it 30 m^3 maybe. It is a modern house with good insulation and energy retention rating (built to the “Minergie” standard we have here in Switzerland), but without forced air, so not much air is exchanged when the windows are closed. With this I end up roughly having to exchange the air every three hours or so.

How the hell did he arrive at the conclusion there was some sort of one-drop rule for non-protected works.

Just because the registration is blocked if you don’t specify which part is the result of human creativity, doesn’t mean the copyright on the part that is the result of human creativity is forfeit.

Copyright exists even before registration, registration just makes it easier to enforce. And nobody says you can’t just properly refile for registration of the part that is the result of human creativity.

Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…

Don’t make the mistake of looking at one region and generalising to a universal. Where are you looking at?

Here in Switzerland practically everything <1kV is buried.
For high voltage lines they have only built one section to experiment so far. It’s pretty expensive, heats the ground a bit and blocks water with all the concrete, so it’s not so clear if it’s a good choice for agriculture happening above.

I’ve wondered a lot why they don’t bury more infrastructure in hurricane regions in the US for example.

check-out “model extraction attacks”

The search results I’m seeing for that term point to people extracting (a clone of) the model, through interacting with the available API of an otherwise closed model. I’m not really seeing anyone interacting with a model to extract its training input data.

Is there a better search term, or do you have a more direct reference to lossless extraction of training data from model weights?

Yes true, when the wifi network uses client isolation you’re fucked. As a workaround you can put the phone in hotspot mode and join that network from the laptop. I always need to do this at work because they are overdoing it on security.

LocalSend

Two that I run for our little group outside the ones you mention are Space Engineers and Valheim

Edit: Space Engineers is a little annoying though, you either have to use some emulated / translated setup, (I think I saw some being cobbled together by others), or you have to run a Windows Server VM.

Doesn’t look like any piece of technology.

I think it does look like an idealised stack of spinning magnetic disks. At least that’s what I have always read it as.

But it does say right on that page:

Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.

There’s also really good writing on AO3 too.

Oh for sure, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. It just happens to be where I read through some pretty bad writing when I was invested enough in the source material, so it came to mind as an example.

50 shades of grey. The writing was so cringe that I just couldn’t get further than one chapter or so. And I’ve read some bad writing on AO3 before, so it’s not like I’m especially sensitive.

Not that many it seems… Ignoring extremely pricey ones, I could find the Lenovo ThinkVision E65 LFD for what converts to 1200 USD in a local shop. And even that is not really price competitive.

HDMI has never been an open standard (to the best of my understanding anyway). You’ve always needed to be an adopter or a member of HDMI forum to get the latest (or future) specs. So it’s not like they’ve just rejected a new idea.

Okay not publishing the spec is still the same, but something else is new nonetheless.

AMD is an adopter*, they have the spec and they implemented a driver for 2.1 intended to be open sourced in Linux. But they were still blocked from publishing it. For HDMI 1.4 that wasn’t an issue yet from what I’ve found (though it’s always hard to search for non-existence). Open source implementations of HDMI 1.4, even in hardware description languages, seem to exist.

*you can search for “ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES” here to confirm for yourself

Oh I remember. There are tons of events and associated handlers. Even just switching to landscape view stops and restarts an android view I think. Friends at uni handled that problem by disallowing landscape view instead of handling it hahah

Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

With the short variable you probably also get shadowing. That’s super fun in a new code base.

Or another favourite of mine: The first time I had to edit a perl script at work someone had used a scalar and a hash with the same name. Took me a while to realize that scalars, arrays, and hashes have separate namespaces, and the two things with seemingly the same name were unrelated.

Except for the exact spelling I already share a last name with a war criminal president. But since I’m in a different country and the name has a positive association with an author here, it hasn’t really seemed like an issue.
