Trying a switch to tal@lemmy.today, at least for a while, due to recent kbin.social stability problems and to help spread load.
It might be nice if auto reviewers included a “privacy rating” for a vehicle based OK whether it broadcasts anything via radio (e.g. cell or tire-pressure systems can be used to identify someone). It’s not just auto manufacturers, but anyone who wants to set up a radio monitoring network, if there are unique IDs being broadcast.
I don’t know how a reviewer could know whether there’s a way for a manufacturer to gather logs during maintenance.
I can’t imagine that it’d be possible to do that and conform to building code without some kind of special exemption.
Honestly, I’d think that if there’s demand for a leaning pub like that – and I think there is…I mean, I’ve heard about that thing repeatedly, seen video in it, and I live in the US – it’d be easier to just build one whose owners want to run one, let them gave whatever building code exemptions are required. IIRC, that pub is kind of out of the way, not really where one would expect to put a new pub, given the choice.
AGI is not a new term. It’s been in use since the 90s and the concept has been around for much longer.
It’s not new today, but it post-dates “AI” and hit the same problem then.
VS Code is going to require a newer version of glibc than Ubuntu 18.04 comes with. One does not simply upgrade glibc.
One might have an application-private newer build of glibc and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing it prior to launching VS Code.
If she’s the only alternative in the primary race and he has a heart attack or something, I would assume that she winds up becoming the Republican nominee.
In the Lemmy Web UI, beneath a post or comment from a user, click the three dots and choose “Block User”.
In the Jerboa Android client, tap the three dots beneath a post or comment by the user and choose “Block”.
If you’re using a different client, it’ll depend on that client.
I’d point out, though, that @Track_Shovel doesn’t just do gross-out AI art. He also submits stuff that you may (or may not) like more, like this series of Warhammer 40k images in various media:

So even if you really don’t like gross-out art – I myself am not a fan of the genre – you might just want to downvote stuff that you don’t like and upvote stuff that you do, or you could miss future stuff that he submits that’s more up your alley.
Consider that you’ve submitted a broad range of stuff yourself:
That spans a lot of types of image; someone might like one but not another.

Or, I mean, we are an AI art generation community and all. This is like someone at an Olympic swimmer convention asking “can someone be a lifeguard?”

If you compare what it used to take to ship a package and the kind of selection that a local store might have, it’s pretty great.
Also, a lot of that is automated to take a bunch of the drudge work out. Twenty years back, I remember that a guy I worked with at a research lab was working on some of the in-production-back-then automated-sorting-and-aligning-of-boxes-on-conveyor-belt stuff, which was done in a pretty clever way, by just activating and deactivating rollers on a conveyor belt, no robotic hands or anything mechanically-fancy needed.

Not the system in question, but an example of another:
I believe that it is, in fact, an area of focus right now. I see Stable Diffusion papers coming out on the SD community and the Midjourney guys were putting in text synthesis work in their most recent update.

It depends on the definition of “support ended”. Like, there are various forms of extended support that you can pay for for versions of Windows, and some companies do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Support_lifecycle
Support for the original release of Windows XP (without a service pack) ended on August 30, 2005.[4] Both Windows XP Service Pack 1 and 1a were retired on October 10, 2006,[4] and both Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 reached their end of support on July 13, 2010, about 24 months after the launch of Windows XP Service Pack 3.[4] The company stopped general licensing of Windows XP to OEMs and terminated retail sales of the operating system on June 30, 2008, 17 months after the release of Windows Vista.[114] However, an exception was announced on April 3, 2008, for OEMs producing what it defined as “ultra low-cost personal computers”, particularly netbooks, until one year after the availability of Windows 7 on October 22, 2009. Analysts felt that the move was primarily intended to compete against Linux-based netbooks, although Microsoft’s Kevin Hutz stated that the decision was due to apparent market demand for low-end computers with Windows.[115]
So for those, we’re all definitely a decade past the end of normal support. However, they have their extended support packages that can be purchased, and we aren’t a decade past the end of those…but most users probably aren’t actually getting those:
On April 14, 2009, Windows XP exited mainstream support and entered the extended support phase; Microsoft continued to provide security updates every month for Windows XP, however, free technical support, warranty claims, and design changes were no longer being offered. Extended support ended on April 8, 2014, over 12 years after the release of Windows XP; normally Microsoft products have a support life cycle of only 10 years.[118] Beyond the final security updates released on April 8, no more security patches or support information are provided for XP free-of-charge; “critical patches” will still be created, and made available only to customers subscribing to a paid “Custom Support” plan.[119] As it is a Windows component, all versions of Internet Explorer for Windows XP also became unsupported.[120]
In January 2014, it was estimated that more than 95% of the 3 million automated teller machines in the world were still running Windows XP (which largely replaced IBM’s OS/2 as the predominant operating system on ATMs); ATMs have an average lifecycle of between seven and ten years, but some have had lifecycles as long as 15. Plans were being made by several ATM vendors and their customers to migrate to Windows 7-based systems over the course of 2014, while vendors have also considered the possibility of using Linux-based platforms in the future to give them more flexibility for support lifecycles, and the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) has since endorsed Windows 10 as a further replacement.[121] However, ATMs typically run the embedded variant of Windows XP, which was supported through January 2016.[122] As of May 2017, around 60% of the 220,000 ATMs in India still run Windows XP.[123]
Furthermore, at least 49% of all computers in China still ran XP at the beginning of 2014. These holdouts were influenced by several factors; prices of genuine copies of later versions of Windows in the country are high, while Ni Guangnan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences warned that Windows 8 could allegedly expose users to surveillance by the United States government,[124] and the Chinese government banned the purchase of Windows 8 products for government use in May 2014 in protest of Microsoft’s inability to provide “guaranteed” support.[125] The government also had concerns that the impending end of support could affect their anti-piracy initiatives with Microsoft, as users would simply pirate newer versions rather than purchasing them legally. As such, government officials formally requested that Microsoft extend the support period for XP for these reasons. While Microsoft did not comply with their requests, a number of major Chinese software developers, such as Lenovo, Kingsoft and Tencent, will provide free support and resources for Chinese users migrating from XP.[126] Several governments, in particular those of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, elected to negotiate “Custom Support” plans with Microsoft for their continued, internal use of Windows XP; the British government’s deal lasted for a year, and also covered support for Office 2003 (which reached end-of-life the same day) and cost £5.5 million.[127]
For the typical, individual end user, one probably wants to have been off Windows XP by 2008.
What if I have quad 12-core Xeons with 196GB of RAM?
I have a 24-core i9-13900 and 128GB of RAM and I briefly tried it and recall it being what I’d call unusably slow. That being said, I also just discovered that my water cooler’s pump has been broken and the poor CPU had been running with zero cooling for the past six months and throttling the bajesus out of itself, so maybe I’d be possible to improve on that a bit.
If you seriously want to try it, I’d just give it a spin. Won’t cost you more then the time to download and install it, and you’ll know how it performs. And you’ll get to try the UI.
I just don’t want to give the impression to people that they’re gonna be happy with on-CPU performance and then have them be disappointed, hence the qualifiers.
EDIT: Here’s a fork designed specifically for the CPU that uses a bunch of other optimizations (like the turbo “do a generation in only a couple iterations” thing, which I understand has some quality tradeoffs) that says that it can get down into practical times for a CPU, just a couple of seconds. It can’t do 1024x1024 images, though.

I haven’t used it, though. And I don’t think that that “turbo” approach lets you use arbitrary models.
No, though it could be the first character in a hashtag. A hashtag includes the characters that follow.
EDIT: The article I linked to says that in Canada, it’s typically called the “number sign”, in the US, the “pound sign”, and in the UK, the “hash mark”.
£
Ugh, didn’t think of that interpretation.
Pound sign, as in “#”.
Text-based-games and MUDs are not the same thing. There’s a considerable library of text-based interactive fiction out there.
Could be. I’ve seen video of someone in Vietnam clearing mines, and they just did it with a knife. Didn’t detonate the thing.
I’d assume that anti-tank mines, unless they have anti-handling mechanisms designed to target people disarming them, probably won’t go off on a person.
Wow, such fast response!
The roof appears to be wet in the first image. It’s dry in the second. I doubt that they’re that close in time.
EDIT: Though the timestamps claim that these are close in time. Hmmm.
It’s possible that Ukraine is using Russian mines that they’ve removed from fields. If so, it’d be the opposite.
