Let's not wait until trump starts his term, though. I don't trust trump not to invoke the USA's ICC contingency plan on the whole of the EU if his master of "efficiency" gets arrested here.

I suspect the foreign sanctions will indirectly prevent a healthy video games ecosystem from forming in Russia, on top of everything you've already cited. With these sanctions, there is even less incentive than before for Russia to crack down on (software) piracy (of foreign games). So their game devs are competing with essentially free and high quality games made by everything from indie devs to huge studios.

Les tissus synthétiques sont très inflammables. C'est une des raisons qu'on oblige les blouses de labo à été en pur coton ou autre fil naturel. L'autre étant qu'ils fondent et se collent à la peau quand ils brûlent :/

Why do we even need a server? Why can’t I pull this directly off the disk drive? That way if the computer is healthy enough, it can run our application at all, we don’t have dependencies that can fail and cause us to fail, and I looked around and there were no SQL database engines that would do that, and one of the guys I was working with says, “Richard, why don’t you just write one?” “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” I didn’t do that right away, but later on, it was a funding hiatus. This was back in 2000, and if I recall correctly, Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton were having a fight of some sort, so all government contracts got shut down, so I was out of work for a few months, and I thought, “Well, I’ll just write that database engine now.”

Gee, thanks Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton?! Government shutdown leads to actual production of value for everyone instead of just making a better military vessel.

Je trouve dommage que l'article qualifie de "tâche sur son mandat" la prise d'otages et sa gestion, sans toutefois mentionner les soupçons envers Reagan et son équipe de campagne. Selon un article du New York Times paru en 1991 et que wikipédia référence de la manière suivante :

Abolhassan Banisadr, the former President of Iran, has also stated "that the Reagan campaign struck a deal with Tehran to delay the release of the hostages in 1980", asserting that "by the month before the American Presidential election in November 1980, many in Iran's ruling circles were openly discussing the fact that a deal had been made between the Reagan campaign team and some Iranian religious leaders in which the hostages' release would be delayed until after the election so as to prevent President Carter's re-election."

D'un côté ça ne qualifie pas directement Carter ni sa «gestion» de la prise d'otages. D'un autre côté si on veut examiner son héritage, sa contribution au monde d'aujourd'hui, il faut aussi parler de ce qui se passait "autour" de lui.

🎶 Just a pair of Hitler fanboys, preparing to enter the white house 🎶

I can't believe it just clicked for me that we shouldn't be watching out for the "next Hitler" (which I was getting ready to assign to trump based on the past 9 years) but a group of fetishizing copycats.

Reminds me a bit of how Robert E. Lee and much of the confederacy saw themselves as real-life Misérables (https://boundarystones.weta.org/2019/05/13/how-les-miserables-became-lees-miserables).

The common point between Lee, Hitler, and the Misérables is they were all lost causes in the end (thankfully). Hopefully today's regressive shit-stains-of-a-human-being will go the same way.

Labeling the AfD as far-right is clearly wrong when you consider that Alice Weidel, the party’s chairwoman, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? I beg to differ!

Fuck you. There were gay Nazis. There are gay neo Nazis today. Fascism cares about power more than any internal consistency. The moment those gay Nazis are no longer useful to their higher-ups, they'll be disposed of.

When will someone with more reach than I, a random internet commenter, start saying this shit to his face?!?! The people who are swayed by his bullshit rhetoric are not coming here to read our takedowns, and I can't tell if I can expect them to read the counter- and response op-eds...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ooooh, that's a good first test / "sanity check" !

May I ask what you are using as a summarizer? I've played around with locally running models from huggingface, but never did any tuning nor straight-up training "from scratch". My (paltry) experience with the HF models is that they're incapable of staying confined to the given context.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (5 children)

How feasible is it to configure my server to essentially perform a reverse-slow-lorris attack on these LLM bots?

If they won't play nice, then we need to reflect their behavior back onto themselves.

Or perhaps serve a 404, 304 or some other legitimate-looking static response that minimizes load on my server whilst giving then least amount of data to train on.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm not sure if this is how @[email protected] is using it, but I could totally see myself using an LLM to check my own understanding like the following:

  1. Read a chapter
  2. Read the LLM's summary of the chapter
  3. Make sure I can understand and agree or disagree with each part of the LLM's summary.

Ironically, this exercise works better if the LLM "hallucinates"; noticing a hallucination in its summary is a decent metric for my own understanding of the chapter.

Reminds me of Zdzisław Beksiński's oil paintings.

Haven't bought the game yet, but these instructions seem legit. I found this link in a ProtonDB comment who claims to be its author/hoster: https://www.protondb.com/app/1934680#WRxwBwtv-Y.

 

Je n'ai pas encore acheté le jeu, mais les instructions m'inspirent confiance. J'ai trouvé ce lien dans le commentaire d'une personne sur ProtonDB qui prétend en être l'auteur (ou au moins l’hébergeur) : https://www.protondb.com/app/1934680#WRxwBwtv-Y.

Par hasard, il-y-aurait des jlailutines ou -lutins qui ont le jeu et sont sur Linux qui pourraient témoigner ?

 

What?

I will be holding the fifteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time we began chapter 7 (Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules), and read up through section 7.3 (Paths for Referring to an item in the Module Tree). This time we will start at section 7.4 (Bringing Paths Into Scope with the use Keyword).

Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/8006138

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

(also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-07-01). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was.

EDIT: here's the recording: https://youtu.be/RI4D62MVvCA

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will be locally recorded, and uploaded afterwards to youtube (for now as well).

I will have on-screen:

  • the BU online version of The Book
  • a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup, cargo, and clippy)
  • some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
  • the live stream's chat

I will steadily progress through the book, both reading aloud the literal text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

Who ?

You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.

 

What?

I will be holding the fourteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time we completed chapter 6 (enums & pattern matching). This time we will begin chapter 7 (Managing Growing Projects with Packages, Crates, and Modules).

Hi! I've created a CLI tool for downloading Rust web books (like The Rust Programming Language) as EPUB, so that you can easily read them on your e-book reader. The tool is heavily based on this gist and a lot of proompting.

Check it out here: https://github.com/mawkler/rust-book-to-epub

 

What?

I will be holding the thirteenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time we started chapter 6 (enums & pattern matching). We read through 6.1 and learned how to define enum variants in tuple or struct form. We also learned about the Option<T> enum that Rust provides us with. This time we'll begin section 6.2 and learn about the match control flow construct.

Stable internet connection re-acquired! To avoid waiting another full week, I'll be hosting the session today (approximately 6-7 hours after this post is created).

I will be holding the eleventh of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Last time, the book guided us through An Example Program Using Structs (section 2 of chapter 5). Today we'll be tackling the following section, "The Method Syntax" (5.3).

Comme l'indique le titre, je recherche une BD francophone dont la trame principale est l'invasion d'une ville par une plante qui pousse à une vitesse foudroyante. Il y a des fortes chances que la ville soit Paris, mais il se peut que ça soit une autre ville.

Autres détails dont je me souviens:

  • la plante en question ressemble surtout à des vignes ou lianes vertes (pas d'ecorce, pas de brun)
  • vers la fin on apprend que c'est une botaniste qui est à l'origine de la plante :
    • grosso merdo elle explique que la plante crèvera toute seule au bout de 2-3 jours en se désintégrant,
    • que les baies de cette plante sont comestibles par les éventuelles personnes coincées par les lianes,
    • et que le tout est censé être un acte radical de sensibilisation écologique infligé de force au reste du monde en mode "rappelez-vous que c'est la nature qui domine, pas l'Homme"

Ce dont je suis à moitié certain :

  • cette botaniste est la mère du protagoniste, un jeune garçon ado
  • la BD est parue dans les numéros d'une revue de jeunesse dans les années 200X/201X - type astrapi, okapi, j'ai lu, ou peut-être encore sciences et vie junior

Je l'ai lue en tant que gamin à sa sortie, et ça m'avait bien marqué. Il n'y a que récemment que je me suis rendu compte que c'était une belle pièce de propagande écoterroriste!

Du coup j'aimerai essayer de la relire, en l'analysant explicitement en tant que tel 😈

 

Sorry y'all, I don't have access to a decent internet connection for the time being.

Open Source for Climate Podcast (ossforclimate.sustainoss.org)

Seems relevant to this community (albeit I haven't listened to the podcast yet).

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/15928804

We are excited to announce the launch of a new podcast showcasing the transformative power of “Open Source for Climate” and the people and stories behind it. The open source movement is the key to bringing trusted knowledge, technology and collective action.

Post-listen edit: a bit short and underwhelming. Then again, it seems to be more of an intro/announcement than a first "proper" episode. Hopefully the next one will be more fleshed out.
