It does matter in terms of ease of use. Some have apps, some don’t. A non-linux-native might have difficulties with the latter.

All

We could just install some heat pumps in hell and transport the energy via flux pipeline to the overworld.

Oh, I trained my cat exactly the same way. But, to my cat’s defense, I also trained him to “kiss” me when I say “kiss”. So sweet, but sometimes also so over-affectionate for a couple of cat sweets.

I would go this route as well. As a developer this sounds easy enough. It you don’t get vertical sequences of images, but instead a grid of images, then I would apply traditional image stitching techniques. There are tons of libraries for that on github.

Arr, me heart be green with envy, it be!

All of them at once while saying the words.

Yup. A container i slow to rebuild, but at least the most robust. This is my preferred way to share python code when there are system dependencies involved.

It actually is almost as instant as you would expect

I like the pyproject.yaml, but checking dependencies with poetry takes 5 to 10 minutes for my projects.

Tbh, I’m always ending up having issues using poetry and conda. I prefer using penv and pip.

Thanks, I didn’t know!

There are really only two search engines. Its either Google or Bing. The others exist, but they use Google’s and/or Bing’s search results.

I would argue that Germany is not a socialist country. Politics are targeted at the already wealthy and cooperations.

I’m not versed enough in politics and history to give detailed examples. I’m just a normal guy. However, I’m currently listening to the Jung & Naiv podcast on Spotify.

In episode 661 they discuss the development of the housing sector since the 1950s and very little in the 18th century. The important information is that the housing sector grew from being socialist to being a housing market.

I think they mention that in the 50s there existed a “Kostenmiete” (Cost-rent). That would only be allowed by law to be as high as it needed to be to cover the costs for building the house/flat. The owners were not allowed to make profit exceeding 3.5%. Any profit had to be put into housing again to keep the housing sector growing. Around that time the state was heavily supporting housing unions and other groups (not cooperations) to build housing. The state itself built 500.000 !!! appartments a year. Last year the interview says they built 6 appartments. Six, in case you thought you read a typo.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least in the housing market we are not socialist anymore and it becomes worse every year. Education becomes worse every year. The medical sector becomes worse every year. Public transport becomes worse every year. Loans do not keep up with inflation. Everything becomes more expensive.

Yes, we are better off than many. But are we not just richer slaves with more benefits than others? The interview says that there exist studies that estimate 11 million households to qualify for social housing. In some cities that is 60% of their population. 60% quality for social housing. Are we alright?

As a German, I think I would. Given that it is good and just.

So, it seems I’m really out of the loop. Is this some AI thing generating a video from my comment? Or does this scroll through all comments while “recording” the screen?

Following up on the other comment.

The issue is that widely available speech models are not yet offering the quality that is technically possible. That is probably why you think we’re not there yet. But we are.

Oh, I’m looking forward to just translate a whole audiobook into my native language and any speaking style I like.

Okay, perhaps we would still have difficulties with made up fantasy words or words from foreign languages with little training data.

Mind, this is already possible. It’s just that I don’t have access to this technology. I sincerely hope that there will be no gatekeeping to the training data, such that we can train such models ourselves.

For the last example: Here

Rendering dreams from fMRI is also already reality. Please, google that yourself if you’d like to see the sources. However, the image quality is not yet very good, but nevertheless it is possible. It is just a question of when the quality will be better.

Now think about smart glasses or whatever display you like, controlling it with your mind. You’d need Jedi concentration :D But I sure do think I will live long enough to see this technology.

Imagine a car company disabling your car.

A factor I didn’t consider. Thanks. And there I thought given hardware requirements it would be relatively easy to build such LLMs or similar foss-like.
