It’s a very interesting effect. I found the video fascinating, just because it’s kind of amazing how our brains can so clearly see these moving shapes, while if you pause the video at any point, the shapes disappear. I guess it’s how we evolved to see predators with camouflaged fur moving through the environment?

I’m curious to see the game the dev makes from it. Definitely potential for a unique and captivating game but there’s going to be some challenges to overcome on the way.

Behind the scenes, officials are running around desperately trying to dodge any possible responsibility. There’s probably very little to be gained by popping your head up and associating yourself with such things.

ah that’s good to hear! Glad you aren’t being cavalier with your cat’s safety. Might be worth keeping an eye on the integrity of that netting nevertheless, it could weaken over time especially as it’s exposed to the rain and sun. The plastic coating will obviously protect the wire from rusting, but the plastic might start to deteriorate after a while.

In my case (blessed with not having to work with Windows), the kludgy feel of how workspaces previously worked with multiple monitors has sometimes made me not bother connecting them up.

The old way tries to merge the two monitors into a single screen, and so when your monitors have different resolutions, your “single screen” is now sort of L-shaped. Which would cause weird effects on some DEs where for instance dragging a window off the edge of the smaller monitor wouldn’t work, as width of the “single screen” was taken to be the width of the larger monitor not the smaller one. (I must add that KDE is not one of these DEs, and you can drag off the edge like that)

There are still some behaviours with per-screen virtual desktops that I hope might be fixed in future - such as “Zoom Desktop” (Meta+mousewheel). I use this quite a bit for reducing the black bars on extra wide aspect ratio films, and it does zoom both monitors at the moment. I don’t know if it’d be practical to have this feature just zoom one desktop, but it would be great for me when I’m working and have Netflix on at the same time.

The LTS I assume? That’s annoying, my VPS has been on 24.04 and I’m looking forward to upgrading to 26.04 just for the newer PHP version (without using a 3rd party PPA). I’m waiting for 26.04.01 before making the move.

How many others are loving the “per-screen virtual desktops” feature introduced with 6.7?

It seems there’s a small (?) contingent of people who’ve been clamouring for this ever since multi-monitor setups became commonplace. Then there’s a whole nother load of people who don’t care.

Do many people here even use multiple workspaces? I know many just have all apps open on the visible workspace and alt-tab between them.

This freaks me out a little bit, is there only that thin plastic netting protecting her from falling? Sure cats don’t easily lose their balance, but she could get tangled in some of that loose netting and freak out a bit, then if she did fall, she might not be able to move freely in the air if she’s caught up in it, which could hamper her landing ability.

The phenomenon they’ve identified doesn’t seem to be cannabis-specific at all. The finding really seems to be, “capitalism will pursue profits at the expense of customers’ well-being”.

Which isn’t going to be news to anyone but the most deluded libertarian. It’s a great example of why we absolutely need government to impose sensible regulations on business, because otherwise short-term profiteering will win over long-term societal good.

Cannabis, as it moves from illegal black markets to legitimacy, is just in an interesting position to highlight these kinds of effects.

All of the above

I don’t think you mean this do you? Or do you really think there shouldn’t be any kind of bike path when the speed limit is greater than 30 km/h, or the road has more than 2 lanes?

Lion doesn’t appear to be looking at the cub though. The smug look on the cub’s face makes me think this could even be a “my dad’s bigger than your dad” type of sitch, where the cub has just shoved a big festering pile of damp leaves into another cub’s school bag, and now has run back to dad knowing that fat philistine is way too dumb to try to encourage his own cub to behave like a halfway decent human being lion.

The case has apparently been suspended while she undergoes a psychological evaluation.

But even if she does have some kind of mental illness or fetishisation of infancy, it wouldn’t necessarily make her not criminally liable, would it? According to the article, it does look like she’s motivated in large part for personal material gain:

"The couple told police Oliveira first approached them at an evangelical church they attended, introducing herself as “Gabrielle” and claiming to be 18 years old. She reportedly said she was experiencing financial and health difficulties, prompting the couple to take her in.

She later allegedly changed her story, claiming she was in fact 11 but appeared older because her father had forced her to take hormones and had sexually abused her. She also allegedly persuaded the family not to enrol her in school or formalise any adoption process, arguing that doing so could enable her father to find her.

The alleged deception unravelled after an aunt who occasionally visited the family became suspicious of Oliveira’s age. After searching online, she found reports of a similar case in Rio de Janeiro three years earlier in which Oliveira had allegedly deceived another family."

at least we can be pretty sure the text isn’t LLM generated - it’s so clunky and hard to read 😬

it doesn’t mean vaccine, it just means an injection of any kind - at least in the UK

To expand a little on what you’re saying, in this procedure, T-cells are genetically engineered “to make proteins on their surface called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). The CARs can recognise and target a specific protein on the surface of the cancer cells.” (source: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/treatment/targeted-cancer-drugs-immunotherapy/car-t-cell-therapy)

Ah yes Orban that champion of personal freedoms and heroic warrior against government overreach

works fine for me too

anything we don’t understand yet, that can be god… it used to be thunder, earthquakes, now it’s vast sheets of lifeless matter flooping around our intergalactic neighbourhood - progress I guess? 😁

I never knew LLMs can run on such low-spec machines now! That’s amazing. You said elsewhere you’re using Qwen3-4B (abliterated), and I found a page saying that there are Qwen3 models that will run on “Virtually any modern PC or Mac; integrated graphics are sufficient. Mobile phones”

Is there still a big advantage to using Nvidia GPUs? Is your card Nvidia?

My home machine that I’ve installed ollama on (and which I can’t access in the immediate future) has an AMD card, but I’m now toying with putting it on my laptop, which is very midrange and has Intel Arc graphics (which performs a whole lot better than I was expecting in games)

At first blush, this looks great to me. Are there limitations with what models it will work with? In particular, can you use this on a lightweight model that will run in 16 Gb RAM to prevent it hallucinating? I’ve experimented a little with running ollama as an NPC AI for Skyrim - I’d love to be able to ask random passers-by if they know where the nearest blacksmith is for instance. It was just far too unreliable, and worse it was always confidently unreliable.

This sounds like it could really help these kinds of uses. Sadly I’m away from home for a while so I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to get back on my home rig.

This is what I’m doing. I recently switched from the email service offered by my web host to Zoho Mail. I pay them $12 a year for a couple of gigabytes storage (which isn’t a whole lot but enough for me and I’m cheap).

As someone else says elsewhere, as well as changing the MX records to the new server, you need to add SPF, DKIM and D-MARC records in your DNS to ensure mail you send is accepted by the receiver’s mail server.
