i mean, the main issue is that theologues base their beliefs on the belief that some old texts hold universal truths
according to the github readme, you can just run sudo pro config set apt_news=false to disable those
if you have things set up the way you like on xubuntu, it's maybe worth it to just do that rather than start fresh
i mean, celsius has arbitrary numbers too - human is 37°c, ambiant is 17°c, cooking is 180°c, etc.
iirc, postgresql renames itself in htop to show its current status and which database it's operating on
huh, yeah, i heard of similar things in the US
here it seems to be worked out through legislation though, rather than private deals, but that means it's much slower to get set in place
yeah, this is a great thing!
i usually make class notes recap on A4 pages, and can then print 2 A5-sized pages side by side on a single standard A4 paper, no need to rework the formatting. messing with the printer options, you can pretty easily get it to do a small booklet off of your standard A4 word document, just need to staple it together!
i just assumed people used 3rd party services for ease of use or faster transactions, seems so wild that you'd not be able to send money using your bank to me
here it takes 1-2 business day for a free wire transfer from one bank account to another, and you can do it in your banking app or on the bank's website. you just need to authenticate with your online pin code. you can also pay 1€ to get a <24h transfer
it's honestly much better than using a third party service, since pretty much everyone has a bank account, and pays using a card tied to that account directly
i mean, i've never needed to divide the size of a standard sheet of paper - if i need a smaller variant, i can just fold it in half and cut it. when working with paper, it's pretty easy to do physical math, and you rarerly need something that's perfect down to the millimetre
regarding the size- it's just something you learn through life. school supplies lists typically specify the size of notebooks and paper you need to buy in centimetres, so year over year, you quickly learn that A4 is 22:29.7, and the slightly bigger standard notebooks are 24:32
the avreage person also isn't as convincing as a bot we're told is the peak of computer intelligence
there are tons of webring still going these days!
well, i just tried it, and its answer is meh --
i asked it to transcribe "zenquistificationed" (made up word) in IPA, it gave me /ˌzɛŋˌkwɪstɪfɪˈkeɪʃənd/, which i agree with, that's likely how a native english speaker would read that word.
i then asked it to transcribe that into japaense katakana, it gave me "ゼンクィスティフィカションエッド" (zenkwisuthifikashon'eddo), which is not a great transcription at all - based on its earlier IPA transcription, カション (kashon') should be ケーシュン (kēshun'), and the エッド (eddo) part at the end should just, not be there imo, or be shortened to just ド (do)
it is absolutely capable to come up with it’s own logical stuff
interesting, in my experience, it's only been good at repeating things, and failing on unexpected inputs - it's able to answer pretty accurately if a small number is even or odd, but not if it's a large number, which indicates it's not reasoning but parroting answers to me
do you have example prompts where it showed clear logical reasoning?
huh, i kinda assumed it was a term made up/taken by journalists mostly, are there actual research papers on this using that term?
because it's a text generation machine..? i mean, i wouldn't say i can prove it, but i don't think anyone can prove it's capable of thinking, much less of reasoning
like, it can string together a coherent sentence thanks to well crafted equations, sure, but i wouldn't qualify that as "thinking", though i guess the definition of "thinking" is debatable
New response just dropped
for it to "hallucinate" things, it would have to believe in what it's saying. ai is unable to think - so it cannot hallucinate
This is a woefully underpowered laptop I got for free! I'm working to make it into a secure portable machine (since it does support secureboot & TPM-backed disk encryption) to take on the go that I don't fear losing. This is mostly for doing programming & study, on stuff that doesn't require high-performances, so the 2 gigs of RAM are just about enough for regular use -- and it prevents me from being distracted, as I can't load most website on that poor thing…
I'm using 2 bars -- I originally only wanted to use a vertical one, unfortunately not all waybar modules support rotation, so I settled for this, which works quite well in my experience :3
Stuff I use:
- Catppuccin Frappe as a color scheme on most things
- Emacs for programming & taking notes (org-mode my beloved)
- Alacritty as a terminal, with the fish shell
- Firefox (fuck chromium)
- stmps as a music player, connected to my selfhosted Nextcloud instance, with a bunch of songs obtained through legal means (obviously)
- Waybar for a bar, with nm-applet for controlling networkmanager and blueman-applet for controlling bluetooth
- fcitx5 + mozc for japanese input
- dwl with the following patches
- ipc
- toplevel management
- touchscreen
- autostart
I will probably release all my configs in an organized way once I feel like this setup is closer to completion.
For those who may not know, the IPA (international phonetics alphabet) is widely used for writing out how words are spoken. It's very useful for linguists writing research papers, and for people looking to learn new languages!
As I wasn't satisfied with most IPA keyboards available, and wanted something that integrated well with fcitx, which I already have to use for japanese input, I re-implemented parts of the SIL IPA keyboard . It's not a one-to-one recreation (yet), because I needed somthing now rather than later, and took some shortcuts to put in all the features I personally needed, but it should be good enough for doing broad transcription of RP English. It should also be fairly trivial to hack in support for most character combinations.
Feel free to check out the git repo!
I would like to have a browser with some long running tabs available at all time on all my workspaces -- is there an extension for that?

I'm working on a daemon & collection of other tools and configs to bring better support for 2-in-1 convertible tablets/laptops to Wayland/wlroots compositors!
This is a preview of how it works on my Lenovo Miix 320-10icr, though I want to extend support to as many devices as possible in the future!
Right now the only other supported device is the Google Caroline (“Samsung Chromebook Pro”) though I'm looking to support as many devices as possible! Right now, I'm working on better hardware detection to make it work out of the box on more devices. If you have one of such devices, feel free to get in touch, my contact info is on my website: yukijoou.kemonomimi.gay, I'd be more than happy to help you make your device work with this tool!
Notable features right now:
- Working screen rotation using iio sensors
- Keyboard/basestation detection using libusb and specific pid/vids
- Hooks that run on docking/undocking, so you can write your own shell scripts to do fancy things
- A fcitx add-on that adds hooks on input field focus/unfocus to bring full on-screen keyboard support with IME to Wayland (probably the most useful part of this project, may be nice to have on Linux mobile distros if you're into that sorta things!)
