Can confirm, used it for Lethal Company, worked like a charm

It is indeed (and apparently that’s where the english word comes from)

From what i get from this article, this is technically true for one tree, but not for the forest, for which there is a peak in carbon capture at some point (when the canopy closes says the article), and then it can either stabilize either slowly decline. There are other huge advantages to keeping old forests intact though, especially regarding biodiversity.

I tried ZorinOS, thinking it would be a nice transition from Windows to Linux, but it’s so nice i think i’ll stick with it for a while. Classic Windows-like recommendation is Linux Mint, and if i’m not mistaken both are ubuntu-based, so you would take advantage of that knowledge

What’s the deal with db0? They don’t seem like nazis/rightwingers

“Chatte” (female cat) is the equivalent of pussy in english.

“Poulet” (chicken) is a cop. “Poulette” (hen) is a rather disrespectful word for a women.

“Gorille” (gorilla) is a tall muscular person.

“Cochon” (pig) is someone filthy, especially in the sexual sense. (can be used as an adjective, “films cochons” are porn films).

“Canard” (duck) can be a newspaper, or a mistake when playing music.

“Levrette” (female greyhound) is the name for the doggy style sexual position.

“Vache” (cow) can be either someone mean, either a cop. The second case is rarely used except in the sentence “Mort aux vaches” (death to the cops) and probably comes from the Wache germanic root for Guardian, rather than the actual animal.

Y’all seem to think that those people only exist in one random Lemmy community and never use anything else.

Women getting too much and too bad male input is literally what leads to women only spaces, not the other way around. And yet they still get male input everywhere else. It’s like thinking going to a Warhammer shop will radicalize you because they don’t play poker there, it’s not even stupid, it’s absurd.

Yes

The iranian site seems to indeed be called Fordo, and is buried too deep for Israeli weapons to be effective. So talking about “destroying Fordo” effectively seems to be equivalent to talking about US nukes according to that article

I enjoy your enthusiasm but

I highly recommend […] to everyone

It’s not for the faint of heart.

To use .dll VSTs on Linux with Reaper, i use yabridge. If i understood correctly it mixes the use of the linux .so VST format and Wine to trick the VSTs into thinking they run on Windows. So you can run Reaper outside of Wine, and automatically have access to Windows VSTs (once you setup yabridge properly).

It has some huge limitations (most Waves plugins are a big no, getting Kontakt to work seems to involve black magic way beyond my understanding, etc) but i got some plugins to work very well!

On the safety of Wine, i’m not sure at all. From what i understand of this forum, Wine itself is not really dangerous, but it does not block applications from communicating with Linux filesystem and environment so it’s not 100% safe. However you are slightly protected by the niche aspect of Linux, which makes it unlilely for attackers to take time to code a virus that handles Linux way of working. And from my small experience with hacked VSTs on Windows, most werent a threat, especially when i took them from the same hacking team

Yup, seeing a french flag in a private context feels off, you immediately get the sense that whoever put it up has very intense feelings about the Motherland/Fatherland.

Clearly, and i never said the opposite.

Iran which was tolerable to media a few months ago

In what parallel reality do you live in ? It has been classified as one of the worse country for press freedom since years by RSF, they shutdown internet when things get out of hand and banned a lot of social medias.

From the Wikipedia articles of chess and shatranj (old middle-east/south asia ancestor of chess), without checking their sources :

• king, knight, rook and pawn move the same (except the initial 2 squares for the pawn, which were introduced later)
• queen only moves one square at a time diagonally
• bishop only moves two squares at a time diagonally (jumping over potential pieces)

Do you want to leave your country, at least for a bit of time (or is it possible that political/social instabilities will make you want that in the future)? That could be a hint for medicine.

I studied law for 3 years and hated it, but it’s mostly because of my philosophical/political beliefs. On the bright side, it is very diverse, so you could quite easily connect it to something you like (art, environment, digital, politics, etc).

Anyway, good luck for your exams!

I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it’s cooked in any form.

Here is the main blog post that i remembered : it has a follow up, a more scientific version, and uses two other articles as a basis, so you might want to dig around what they mention in the introduction.

It is indeed a quite technical discovery, and it still lacks complete and wider analysis, but it is very interesting for the fact that it kinda invalidates the common gut feeling that llms are pure lucky random.

Oh yes, cost of training are ofc a great loss here, it’s not optimized at all, and it’s stuck at an average level.

Interestingly, i believe some people did research on it and found some parameters in the model that seemed to represent the state of the chess board (as in, they seem to reflect the current state of the board, and when artificially modified, the model takes modification into account in its playing). It was used by a french youtuber to show how LLMs can somehow have a kinda representation of the world. I can try to get the sources back if you’re interested.

Actually, a very specific model (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) was pretty good at chess (around 1700 elo if i remember correctly).
