Yeah, once you work in Linux for so long seeing someone ask about curl missing is really easy to take for granted that we all started there, we’ve all been fresh on Linux. A lot of people take pride in their experience, but they shouldn’t lord it over those who are learning to advance themselves. It’s completely counter to why Linux even exists.

Hebrew is slightly older than Greek but it was also more isolated than Greek and likely did not have much influence on Greek. As another commenter pointed out, Phoenician is the accepted source for the Greek alphabet.

It could be completely anecdotal but something about everyone getting sick with different variants of coronavirus and no real end in sight to a novel disease, it’s like a collective response that many people are dealing with anxiety and panic. A lot of stuff happened prior to 2020 to bring about this atmosphere, but I’m sure the global pandemic didn’t make things better.

You’re trying to run a .bat file on Linux that’s written specifically for Windows installs. Usually .bat is run on Windows, .sh on Linux. If you have a .sh file, use that instead. If there is no .sh equivalent you may be able to tweak the .bat to run on Linux, but I don’t know if that’s a reasonable path forward or not depending on how much Windows logic is in that file.

I saw this in Carole and Tuesday, they were the only “natural” songwriters left because computers wrote songs for everyone at that point. I don’t know if that’s a realistic take, but it’s depressing nonetheless. Why can’t we have computers do things that take joy from us instead of the things that bring us joy? You know, like cleaning up dumps or solving problems we would rather not think about? Why are they taking the arts away?

Plenty of Windows embedded devices on the internet, running a flavor of Windows very similar to XP

If the bottom laptop is a Dell Latitude I think they don’t recommend stacking them at all, but with HP Elitebooks I think we got away with stacks about 15-20 high before we had the risk of getting damaged screens. Probably 10x that before structural failure, but they’d more than likely compress down instead of one side before the other.

I get the reason for hyperbole, I just hate when it’s so clickbaity. I wish they would just be more honest with us. If you assume they’re all small form factor Dell Optiplex 3070 desktops, you could make a cube of computers as tall as the Burj Khalifa.

240 million laptops stacked on top of each other is not going anywhere close to the moon, this is a masterclass in hyperbole.

I’m going to disagree on the quality difference between Wrapped and Replay. I found Replay to actually be more useful when it came to actual data, Spotify doesn’t tell you as much as Apple about your listening patterns over the year and they also don’t even tell you what the whole year was, just January to October. Apple will also provide you with a large CSV file of every song you’ve listened to since 2018 if you go to their privacy page and request it. It takes a week or two, but they clearly have the data on file.

If you want a better Wrapped or Replay experience, try Last.fm. I get a ton of metrics from my listening and it has helped me find so much new music in the process.

You trust the government enough to properly provide for those most in need, but the government has pushed the work onto the very charities that you are arguing against. The government leaks tens of billions annually on preserving the needs of the richest members of our society, a quarter of which could have made a massive impact on world hunger.

I don’t think the government or private organizations generally have anyone’s best interest in mind when they do what they do, besides those who have the most influence.

OpenAI is probably already handling a significant amount of queries, I think for daily use the LLM should simply initialize a word map based on user history and then update it semi-occasionally, like once a week or two. Most people don’t drastically change their vocabulary in the course of a few weeks

Does the AI processing have to be performed locally or constantly active?

The way the disc works the center is the South Pole and the North Pole is actually a huge ice wall, it’s all very logical and easily validated by scientific evidence obviously

Just the other day I was able to demonstrate how gravity works by spinning a disc covered in toothpaste very fast, all the toothpaste stayed on the disc

I really need to up my mastodon game

The instructions say ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORDS=yes. They also say this is meant for development purposes only, I assume they mean you should build a dockerfile for something more pressing like a prod environment.

May David see my praise for his work

As I said, by their estimates. I do not endorse the idiocy that compels this greed and ignorance towards true art. I myself am a musician and by no means am I popular or thriving on my art. I can’t be upset with Spotify because it’s still a better system than hoping any physical media I release will make it into the hands of others, in a music industry that has generally discouraged people from listening to underground artists. With digital media, Bandcamp is probably one of the best platforms for artists.

I love this artwork, you’ve done a great job on the character design and I think your thoughts on making brushstrokes like the fingerprints of your work are very compelling. You see it a lot in famous art, how they will use special methods of brushstrokes to achieve the effect they want to convey.

Does Spotify affect the music market or does the music market affect Spotify’s mode of operations? Can Spotify really exist in an ecosystem where artists are fairly represented and paid equally? Look at Bandcamp, it’s been trashed and deserted because the companies that have taken advantage of it found the model unprofitable by their estimates.

There of course are many things Spotify could do, but unfortunately the momentum in the music industry is towards profit and not actual talent or social consciousness. Spotify is owned by money makers, not individuals with true appreciation for the art of music.
