Even though, I am not fan of "Everyone gets one bluesky without any consent" (and what happens to our data ?). Having activity pub as a way to communicate between bluesky and Threads really limit what these big evil actor can do to the fediverse.
One "evil actor" having 10 times more use as the fedi is dangerous, having 2 bigs actors 10 bigger than the rest of the fedi, seems to somehow limit the risk. Feel like the feature might more be used by Threads people to talk with bluesky than by Mastodon people to talk with Threadsky
Check your local used items marketplace (no idea which sites works in the US).
Honestly, I doubt a cheap bicycle retain any value on the used market. I mean a good maintenance will cost more than the price of the bicycle (Just look at the price of tire, pinions, chains and you're already above the price of your cheap bike without counting the labour)
A pi pico W that serves as control node for the adhoc pico network I’ve cobbled into a home control network. (Maybe I have a problem,)
Looks a pretty cool toy, don't worry you're normal it's the other which aren't.
But first I thought you were talking about the Pico USB oscilloscope (For this one, I dream of an Ethernet version as the standard, it's easier to debut electronic from an office chair near the PC controlling it)
Audio interface is great to plug the guitar to the PC, and is used when I put sound the speaker. Headset (which is actually a wireless USB, It would make sense to update to Bluetooth) is used when doing voice call/chat(A decade back, I was living abroad, and playing TTRPG through voice chat, got the habit to use a wireless USB headset at this time, but indeed, it's something I could rationalize considering that I don't use it much anymore)
How long has it been ? If the car had a radar you'll get the ticket in the mail within a week. Reality ir that the cop had most likely something else to do
But let me propagate the legend about the Dutch using the bicycle for everything :), (And to be fully honest, you're way better, even compared to other European countries)
2nd principle of thermodynamic, no machine has an efficiency above 100% the energy you get by burning H2 in water, is at best equivalent to the enrgy spent to break down water in H2 + 02.
Now we’re dependent on a third party gatekeeper for permission to have a web site.
Source ?
Even though most browser would return an alarm in case of "self signed certificate" you can still do-it, and it's still more secure than non encryption
Not quite what you’re after but I absolutely love Diaspora by Greg Egan.
Came here to say that it's the BOOK OP is looking for , Moreover, it's one of the authors present on the fediverse @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz
I don't know how the original version works, but in the French translation Francis Lustman made a real effort in building a coherent grammar with neo-pronoms which match very well the book tone, and is a great exercise.
However, Diaspora isn't the most accessible Egan book. I mean, if you never heard about stuff like complex conjugate, or Penrose tiles you'll struggle with some of the concept.
Have you tried GPT4Allhttps://gpt4all.io/index.html ?
It runs on CPU so is a bit slow, but it's a way to run various LLM locally with an plug and play, easy to use solution.
That said, LLM are huge, and perform better on GPU, provided you have a GPU big enough. Here is the trap. How much do you want to spend in a GPU ?
The theory beside measuring power with a multimeter you way even have done it in high school usinq a 12V power supply and a small resistor/motor. Fun exercise and you may even loop on the whole high school physics curriculum with electricity --> power --> force --> work --> Energy and efficiency calculation.
However, unlike the 12 V you work on at school the domestic 230V can kill you (same for US 110V). I don't see a safe way to use a regular multimeter to measure a current in these voltage range. If you know what you do, you'll build a dedicaced/enclosed set up. If you don't buy a watt meter at the hardwarc store, it'll be safer and cheaper than a DIY one
Prompt A mad human king plays poker, yells, blue breaded hair and beard, crown, stack of tokens BREAK a (chalice full of blood) lies on the table, uncanny horror, gore, BREAK background is a gothic horror palace
So for that one, I started at first with a king on a card game, then thought about the king playing cards, I've done various tries to find a cool prompt. I kept generating and got tons of fun but not perfect variants until found that burning castle which looked pretty cool, and as I don't want to spend my afternoon generating images, I went for burning castle. I couldn't get stuff like skeletons in the background or human bits as poker tokens. Also obviously bing told me that gore prompts aren't fine :)
As a bonus one of my early research when I was still in the get a card game mood
Pretty smart idea, feel like the 1000 monkey typing hypothesis has been discussed quite often, so I guess we needed one in that contest. Also somehow a great metaphor of AI generating images and texts
Might be a relevant toot, not sure who is the author https://fedi.fyralabs.com/notes/9pr6thyvz5
