Best I've had is to disable modern standby and re enable s3 standby.

Okay, I get it, you don't know time zones already so you have to research every time but most people don't think of the other people please.

So every time you deal with somebody in a different location, you can't assume anything about the hours and times you have to ask them or go look it up Even if you have a decent idea where they live because you're not going to know the time disparity of every city out there.

The exponential problem has always been there. We keep finding tricks and optimizations in hardware and software to get by it but they're only occasional.

The pruned models keep getting better so now You're seeing them running on local hardware and cell phones and crap like that.

I don't think they're out of tricks yet, but God knows when we'll see the next advance. And I don't think there's anything that'll take this current path into AGI I think that's going to be something else.

I mean, I might catch something intended and openly malicious.

If it comes down to a buffer overflow somewhere or an exploitable race condition, I'm probably not going to see it anyway.

Missed opportunity

The gun should have been labeled !!

Even before the current fucked up state of affairs, lobbying was (and still is) a thing.

I used them for a couple of years. But I kept finding that when I went to re-sign up for new vendors they wouldn't support the cards for some reason. Has this gotten better?

I ran gnome for about a decade. I really didn't like how a lot of bits and pieces of it worked so I went and found all of the plugins and religiously installed and updated them. Updates what happened, crab would break, I'd just have to deal.

At some point I tried KDE. And it literally did everything that I was doing to gnome through plugins out of the box.

I'm all about configurability but I'm also a pretty big fan of not having to fuck with it because it already does what I want out of the box.

PShaw, that's how I had to do it. Slackware on floppy. Pre-internet search engine, one computer per household. No cellular data.

windows -> Dial up -> look at some docs, take nodes -> reboot into Slackware -> mess with the console -> get stuck -> reboot into windows -> repeat

One doesn't need to panic buy items that they keep in stock at sufficient levels. :)

 

I was a little worried he was just going to hack some trash together, but he did this right. I knew we were in for a treat when he actually used some protective measures.

 

Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don't hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.

 

The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...

The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

 

The camera auto adjusts exposure and it gets all derpy with rolling shutter :)

High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

spoilerDamn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

 

It would appear there's currently a battle on /r/place between pro-spez users, anti-spez users and admins as the guillotine is being perpetually drawn and erased

This Old Tony has been a fixture on my Youtube list for AGES, his unique editing, smooth voice and knack for posting interesting machining content are absolutely unmatched.

This particular video is his latest installment. I'll post some of his top stuff later on.

 

Ollie is a drain clearing expert in Australia. He records every job and posts nearly daily, minimal editing. He shows you every step, what he's thinking and how to correct problems as he goes along. He's never political, always polite and he almost always gets the job done.

I've watched everything he's put out for the last few years, kind of a guilty pleasure.

 
 

Tom Scott has relaxed his release schedule, so it's kind of special when we posts a new video these days.

This house rotates, plumbing at all, the owner is kinda fun and very forthcoming with details.

archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

it's research!
