I'd term it "theopolitical" more than "geopolitical"... which is both more ominous and closer to the truth IMHO. One particular dusty-book-infused worldview, for example, can cite an order of magnitude more xenophob

Yeah, Apple has been its own worst enemy here. Neither Jobs nor Cook are interested in gaming, so backwards compatibility for games was never a priority. Linux has always cared about both software preservation and gaming, so it deserves to

Baldur's Gate 3 looks absolutely fantastic on it due to the HDR rendering and high screen quality on Apple hardware though. It's sad for me as a long-time Mac fan and gaming fan that Apple has always had hardware and OS that was t

Good. Hopefully it will tip to 95% in a few years. I'm so sick and tired of the Windows dependency. Microsoft doesn't give 2 fucks about games unless they can make money off it. I have a few Steam games I can only play on Linux no

Wasn't there an AI project that made a brief radar blip on the news a few months ago where someone used autocompleted images to autocomplete text?

I have a Framework laptop and it's pretty sweet. I also own an M4 so I can compare the two. The M4 wins on slickness due to 1) unibody 2) Apple Silicon (and running local AI models, and the occasional game that is actually optimized fo

LOL. Whisper may be free (I use it in at least 1 project), but it doesn't come with a GUI, hooks into mic audio and keyboard trigger, and other things necessary for something to work well on macOS. I am willing to pay for things that w

I don't use CarPlay (I have a Tesla; they opted out a long time ago and stuck with that) so it has nothing to do with wifi or other interference. The only thing that's changed was upgrading to the new iOS.

1) My Bluetooth audio on my recent-model iPhone (15 Pro Max) is still flaky AF, across all Bluetooth speaker devices or my car. Even my 4 year old kid noticed and commented on it! It's been like this since the iOS beta, for months. And

This is the wrong direction. I can say this having written a monkeypatching management library in Ruby a long time ago.

Knowing the Python philosophy, I assume that's the "one true way" to address the naming distinction across the board?

I unfortunately agree on this. My healthcare is provided by my partner and it forces her (more or less) to stay at that job.

Fair enough, although in that circumstance I think you'd have to mark the non-human traffic as "unverified traffic" to soften the blow

Does it do separate speaker identification (diarization)? What's the stack, if I may ask? (I believe Whisper-X does the diarization thing)

Could you have... maybe eased it in over time ? So for example, every 4 days, filter out an additional 1% of the traffic detected as fake.

Is there a market for software that will use whatever tools are available to detect human users from bots and thereby gain some "real" metrics? Because I could probably write that, and I'm currently (mostly) on the bench EDIT

I would like Linux to be "the" home for gaming. With those other 2 OS'es as "also supported on"'s. I think it's almost necessary that gaming's home needs to be on an open-source OS, where people make
