You would have thought for $33mil a pop they would have some countermeasures. I guess they are still several orders of magnitude cheaper than a jet with an expensive pilot so are more disposable?

Why? Do Ferrari drivers really need to cycle through sound effects to feel as though they are doing it right?

I assume you need fairly sophisticated SAM systems to take out these drones. Are they all coming from Iran? Is this a step up in their missile capability?

Thanks for that - I forgot that it's not as well known as other few software despite being the default virtualization software on most free software distros.

I really enjoyed GoT so I'm tempted by this. Once you get the hang of the combat it's very satisfying.

PipePipe seems to work with my login to play age restricted stuff. I do generally have to trigger a login through settings and then research the video through.

Does anyone know what the underlying filesystem is on DSM? The ability to easily replace disks with a degree of redundancy across the 4 bays is the biggest plus point for Synology although I have no doubt all the bits underneath are the Linux storage stack.

I suspect we don't know enough about the mechanics of consciousness yet to determine what free will really means. We certainly know enough about psychology to understand predispositions to make certain choices and humans as a group are fairly predictable.

It's a shame because I really like the point and click nature of DSM. Although I'm a happy Linux hacker I don't want another Linux box to suck up my limited admin time just to store files.

I doubt the Gemini model is going to be running locally so something is going to have to pay for that. It'll either be subscription or ads.

Pretty much the same for me. I'm a FLOSS developer and it made sense to join the host closest to the development of Lemmy. I don't really follow any of the more political groups, I'm mostly here for the science, trek and programming memes. I guess I'll have to test the subscription portability if the home server gets more widely de-federated though.

A lot of the Emacs language modes have been replaced with tree-sitter equivalents now.

 

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?

 

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

 

Are there any good recommendations for water control valves? I want to control a automatic watering system and need something to attach to the garden tap. Open firmware would be a bonus.

 

I found this post interesting for my layman's understanding of LLMs and some of the underlying architecture choices that are made.

 

I wrote this as a layman's primer to the basics of LLMs and other generative AI. I'm still early on in my journey but hopefully it helps explain things to other newcomers even if it glosses over the details.
