Manim Community is a community fork of 3blue1brown’s awesome manim visualization library for python.

Fantastic shot. I really like this one.

Depends what your real tasks are. If they involve writing, researching, watching videos, filling out web exams, etc., yeah, very capable. If you’re compiling massive codebases, editing composited video, or recording several audio channels, obviously not. But that’s the pitch. If you’re a student and want a well built machine at a competitive price with a long battery life, they’re tough to beat.

It bums me out that the corporate misdeeds were so damaging with LLM’s that people say stuff like this. The technology of using backpropagation to tune networks and using high dimensional matrices to predict new vectors itself isn’t toxic. It is fascinating and can be useful. But without focus I can see how it all looks like just ChatGPT hallucinating wrong answers to lazy college students or what have you. That’s painting with pretty broad strokes though.

Fascinating how uttering the term “AI” can cause so many downvotes even when the system is just a harness that runs self hosted and can use completely openweight, even self trained models. Or maybe many on Lemmy just hate pewdiepie.

True, it’s weird. But I’ve enjoyed the trip there just for the stop at Lambert’s nearby.

I don’t know… I think they’re pretty genocidal.

For a moment I was like, what is this? Some dragon egg?

This is so cool. Gratitude is so wonderful.

Out of laziness but I think it will be entertaining, I will share 3 notes directly from my dream journal.

This is a random sample of hundreds. I knew I dreamed a lot as a boy, but the decision to keep a log blew my mind, because it wasn’t until then that I realized how many crazy dreams we have that unless written down, we don’t even know happened. Something about the amygdala, I read.


Aliens come in water via boat
Black faces scary
Infiltrated with shape short pill
Went to store as gommander
Jump and fly with ease
Flying over singing families
Found mic in store
Made it back for birthday party and big reveal
Startled matt and girl
Knew future of close vote matt nearly flipped

Mind warped slaves... Dance party rebellion
Big trouble
Drug behind bike
Kicked ass


Small group
Technicolor cave
Sarlac pit
Purple and red triangles cave
Very scary what’s at end
Brave and willing to check it out … later
Girl behind welcome desk
Flash
Friend arrives behind
Sweater back over
Taken to the room with others


Can be played with tradable paper or tortilla.
Tear and remove so there are two similar pieces.
Only use of the word mister is allowed to refer to other players.
It is a game of folding.
Each player takes turns adding a fold to mimic the target shape.

Fair. I meant proportions/silhouette, not details like lights. I just mistakenly thought those were also part of design.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I seem to be unclear I guess. But to me there is a difference between, “can’t use the same design language” and “can’t look sleek”.

Following in the footsteps of Hashicorp, Hudson, etc. Zed has chosen to cash in the good will of its now substantial user base and start going to full corporate enshittification. Among other things like minimum age nonsense, they have also added binding mandatory opt-OUT arbitration.

I find such agreements very troubling, because it gives up public funded dispute resolution for private which nearly unanimously benefits larger entities, it lowers transparency to near zero, and eliminates the abilities to act as a class and to appeal. But I worry most will just accept it, as is the norm.

You can however opt out by emailing arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev with full legal name, the email address associated with your account, and a statement that you want to opt out.

I'll just consider my days of advocating for Zed as an interesting new editor over and go back to Neovim bliss.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it celebrates the harvest and can be treated as a day for gratitude. My family also calls it T. Hanks Giving and celebrates by eating pie and watching Tom Hanks movies.

I’m thankful for many things, this year my puppy. He has been great for my family and my mental health personally. For what are you thankful?

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

 

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

 

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

 

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.
