I use BIOS boot selection to dual-boot. MS has broken it twice. I turned off SecureBoot now and just don't run games that require it. Apparently you can get a mobo with switchable BIOS config (or was it just a switchable SSD?) so the O

Meh, I think you keep the old keyboard and set a password expiry. New passwords use the new keyboard. Or, if you're in a rush to remove the old code, _after_ next login you require password replacement and use the new onscreen keyboard

A really good thing the UK charity commission does is to list the efficiency of charities - how much they spend to acquire their funds. Also the wages they pay. I've checked it when giving funds to new charities. Oxfam, for example, ar

Are you for real - apart from almost everything Trump has done? Did you miss how he picked an AG and prevented release of the Trump-Epstein files even though he signed into law a bill requiring full release with only redaction of victims. D

Libre Office Impress does all the things that PowerPoint is used for at my workplace. I'm guessing it's not compatible with Teams and that MS make sure it doesn't work properly with LO produced PPT files.

That education is a general good? I'll have to watch it again, all I remember it as was a goofy movie. It didn't make me think "we have to kill all the stupid people". Actually I'm inclined to think it's more l

Like computing used to be. When I first compiled a Linux kernel it ran overnight on a Pentium-S. I had little idea what I was doing, probably compiled all the modules by mistake.

Not being able to reply is to stop people coming here, making new accounts and then spouting lots of unhelpful messages, messages intended to downplay insane fascists evil portents of their war crimes, say.

I wonder how long that will last? Can they weather the storm of anti-USA sentiment? Have they changed their advertising to un-hitch from being a part of the "American Dream"?

There are plenty of intelligent people that are willing to ride on the back of the Trump regime. That seems mostly to be the problem, in fact. Whoever suggested that using Tariffs to provide a handle to move stocks that they could use to tr

It's true though, isn't it? The response is what typifies Nazi and similar positions. It is curious that there's no reported disgenic effect though - that seems counter to evolutionary theory? Perhaps it's only limiting

We call it "small claims" in the UK too. In England & Wales it's officially a "court claim". In Scotland I think it's "simple procedure". https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-mo

Memory links to location but that's largely because humans are localised. Isn't that also a weakness. We should be trying to exploit the benefits of non-locality [of ML models and training data] too. I feel like much of my life is

I'm not being pejorative but that sounds more like psychopathy or autism? Evolution isn't a god, it has no steering hand, it is accidents that either provide advantage or don't. LLMs are getting more human-like because that&#

Usually a session is delivered as context, up to the token limit, for inference to be performed on. Are you keeping each session to one subject? Have you made personalizations? Do you add lots of data? It would be interesting if you posted

Dammit, you cheated though! Why must you always do that? In your sentences it doesn't matter what your emotional state is, it makes no difference; bit like life really. Hopefully, you can see that at least my chosen sentences have an e

Having an repulsion for shit is a healthy adaptation. But it seems that for some people they're much more sensitive. Similarly, it's probably useful for a primitive person to vomit on sight of a familiar person vomiting, collectiv

Did they not have the astronauts simulate the mission beforehand, on Earth? Wear the clothing, eat the meals, use the toilet, etc? It sounds like that would have allowed them to fix the suit before they went? They must have eaten the meals

Surely it's the precision that makes them war crimes? If the missiles weren't meter-accurate, and the intelligence didn't eg show the lines painted on the playground (even in images available to the public) then they would be

People buy things because of ads all the time. Probably you've done it too. I go out of my way not to buy products advertised to me, but I've definitely fallen to the incessant brain-washing of brand advertising. Probably regular

I accounted for 'closed' hours. Hence 22/h. The incident in question was close to closing time, but there were 2 issues, one a declared emergency. Likely, the problem was with truck 1 wishing to get to the emergency quickly.

When the airport is closed, in case there was an emergency that needed to reroute. One person on then makes sense? La Guardia appears to handle 400 flights a day, 22 an hour. I see 6 moving planes right now ( https://www.flightrad

From VAS Aviation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbm-QJAAzNY , or possibly in the comments, it was noted that there were 2 people on - one in the tower, one elsewhere in charge of approach. So perhaps, it's innacurate
