I know a comedian who is very good on absurdity. He's been doing that for ages (he kind of popularized it in my country), and he generally attracts right-wingers. I don't appreciate all his humor, as in I don't find it all fu

Demanding to respect a claim is a political act by itself. Something being 'political' or not is a red herring. Politics is deeply ingrained in our society. How much is it ingrained? It is a spectrum, not a binary proposition. Try

If we'd follow your line of thinking prosecution of those responsible for MH17 were also to remain anonymous. Which is obviously ridiculous. If growing weed is illegal in Germany, and someone unknown grew a lot of weed in Germany, th

Almost twice the price and simply more accurate info regarding price and features. Brand is TH3P4G3. Egpu.io has decent eGPU comparisons. I wouldn't want all that dust in my GPU fans, prefer that near my case fans. I also don't li

Those $100 ones don't come with a cage. If you do want a cage, you'll end up with $180 in total, with zero warranty. Article mentions: "Apple finally approved our driver for both AMD and NVIDIA" Does not mention Intel (G

The term eGPU gives it away, but is inaccurate. Something like eNPU or eTPU seems more appropriate here.

The cursive l I actually like. We learn to write that here at elementary school (at around the age of six). So if quoting, a handwritten font is nice. I use such in my nvim config as well. But AFAIK such a font is proprietary. Now, this f

Yeah, I found this out the other day when my laptop was toasting. In hindsight, probably related to archive.today or some Firefox extension. You have to close Firefox every now and then for updates though. The issue you describe seems bette

I ran Wine end of 90s to run CS (Half-Life), and I had not only more FPS than Windows. It was more stable as well.

Standardization [1] for backups. A tape with 2.5 TB (uncompressed) goes for 30 EUR. The LTO-6 (affordable current iteration) drive itself goes for 300-500 EUR if you buy it second hand. Cheaper if you grab one without casing and FC, but you

That's the thing. It wasn't me. Someone in the scene received it from original artist, and he put it on minidisc, this was end 90s. Those who appreciate the genre, love these hidden gems, but it is only available as lossy due to m

I made a mistake in my post. I meant to say FC HBA or SAS HBA. I went with a SAS one which I use with a HBA, but the FC ones were cheaper (both FC LTO drives as well as FC HBAs) but would've still required a FC switch). I already got s

One thing I've seen before is people being upfront about using LLMs (at the top of the content). That way, those who dislike it will feel less tricked.

Honestly, I wasn't being specific. I like a specific music genre, and within this music genre some unique content was saved to DAT and Minidisc. The DATs were lost, and so the only available medium has been based on Minidisc.

by Fnoord 7mo ago
Music-wise, lossy compression takes place via a proprietary codec (ATRAC). It isn't viable for data storage (neither was CDR(W)). Trust me, I had data loss due to all of these. Just use LTO with some parity data.

by Fnoord 7mo ago
If this contained various grammer mystaeks, but interesting content, it wouldn't have been flagged. As usual with LLM, it is based on other content. Show me the source , we used to say to binaries... ¿Que pasa?

For archiving, DVD is 4 GB and who knows how long the medium will last. LTO-6 drives go for 300-500 EUR refurbished. You need a FC switch or HBA. Each tape holds 2+ TB uncompressed data. As for NVMe, if you do a lot of writes (e.g. DB&#x27

Without proper attribution, it seems more fair to say copyright infringement occurred, on a massive scale if I may add. The burden of proof lies at the owners of the LLM. Which is why, if you do not want a blackbox, you want training data t

Yeah but usually you need to use an app to upload the eSIM to the SIM card. And that app runs on a certain OS. Whether they run on SFOS, I do not know. It is worth finding out, if you can afford the time for the research.

If you want, we can ritually bury your Chromecast? I'll bring the marshmallows, spiders, and the Necronomicon. Oh, and two of my old Chromecasts, rotting in a drawer.
