I love it. The permissiveness of copyright law preempts restrictive user agreements. Finally, a drop of sanity in an insane world.

Wait, what is this?? I am on Kubuntu 22.04 and have never seen any advertising. I might need to pivot if the upgrade is going to hurt.

Obviously the US military has absolutely crushed their enemies as far as not having their hands tied by politics has allowed. And that is important, whether for better or for worse. In at least 70% of the major conflicts since then, US has

I have never had an app refuse to work because of developer mode, but several if rooted. Anecdotal, but it would seem the two are treated differently by developers.

It's not the evaporation per se that matters in the pumped hydro, it is the evaporation loss of water you already invested in pumping, so it is just an efficiency loss. The vapor loss for the heat sink is indirect, you usually just cal

That was my first thought too. But lakes lose ~20% / year to evaporation, and with the use of shade balls that is cut by ~90%, so we are at 2% / year - which is about the same as very efficient daily loss from heat storage.

You misread again. I said many / many. And you ignore the main point, which is that costs will be lower in a couple years. This is childish.

You misread. Many EVs are cheaper than many ICE cars means there is already a fair amount of overlap in price points, and more expensive ICE cars are already more expensive than base EVs. And then I posted a source indicating that the r

Many EVs are already cheaper than many ICE cars. They will only get cheaper and ICE cars will be more expensive to produce in 3 years. No surprise since ICE cars are quite complex. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos

I am shopping for an EV right now. I absolutely refuse to look at Teslas. So there is some effect of unknown size, and in hard times that added effect can push things over an edge.

Does anybody have experience training/finetuning Real-ESRGAN models? I downloaded one of their datasets to see what they are working with, and it has 800 images at ~3Mp resolution. I am curious if others have results based on higher re

It depends what your "serious" work is. I have used it to edit well over 300 million words of text, reformatting scripts to add tagging etc, large scripts of complex regex to data clean (although nothing I know of beats TextCrawle

I completely understand that, but in the real world, you will need to get your hands dirty with a bit of code because no matter how complete, there will be an edge case where you need to jump outside the box.

I recently was forced to use WP for a site due to third party constraints. It simply wreaks of being a swiss cheese of security vulnerabilities once you start adding plugins - so that would be my main reason for staying away from it for a s

For now it is holding up and "feels" sturdy after a couple years, but I have no doubt it will fail at least 5 years before I would otherwise expect it to (I would want 10 years, but now expect 5). My fault for trusting Ikea + high

I bought their highest end leather couch with a fold out bed a couple years ago, due to time constraints. I was very unhappy to see it was made from chipboard. Of course their shelves and such you can see what you are buying, but I would n

I agree completely. I have found so many great videos for woodworking, coffee (both roasting and espresso brewing), robotics, home construction, car repairs, computer/portable device repairs, etc. Youtube has made almost any hands-on a

This horse is dead and disfigured, but here we go again. Intel 4 (Intel "7nm" rebranding), is roughly equivalent to TSMC "3nm" in transistor density. By the transistor density metric, Intel is not way behind. There is no

To add to this question, are there LLMs that I can run on my own data, that also can provide citations similar to the way phind.com does for their results? Even better if they are multilingual.

You can go through a text to be published 5 times on a computer, print it out and for any text of decent length, I guarantee you will find a ton of stuff you missed. I have never tried using an e-ink device for that to see if it has the sam

Just a heads up that this is sometimes not the information you are looking for. My city has one school district, but there are then individual school boundaries within that district - which is what everyone really cares about. Not even the

I don't think Mastadon will ever take off without a major change in the tech, because content is way too hard to find due to the lack of centralization. I am signed up but basically never use it for this reason.

I am not there for the sex. I want a solid information platform that is real time and a lot of people use. That obviously means they invest in anti-propaganda and brigading tech. Hopefully it is not too flashy and stays out of my way, and t

That type of thing is why I threw in "and other similar measures". Of course there needs to be a basic security policy that is developed and enforced, and resellers / lessors should be responsible. We already have plenty to
