if you’re British, maps.nls.uk is fascinating for seeing places evolve over time

I mean immediately sure but in reality he was just an early al-qaeda prototype trying to spread his religion by blowing people up

it means “been found out” or “exposed”

Optimal.

In Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal, Brazil, USA, Japan, Ghana, wherever) they’re an americano/a but in English (as spoken in USA, UK, Brazil, Portugal, Nepal, wherever) they’re South American but not American because it’s a linguistic difference rather than a geographical/cultural one

Because they’re the only country with America in their name whereas United States is shared by Mexico

Also in English there’s a distinction between North and South America, with the supercontinent being referred to as “The Americas”, so America isn’t really ambiguous, they’re also geologically and environmentally distinct enough that “The Americas” isn’t used so much and “New World” is often more relevant to include Australia as another somewhat culturally similar sparsely populated former colonial area.

I think Mistral is model-available (ie I’m not sure if they release training data/code but they do release model shape and weights), huggingchat definitely is open source and model-available

What the US has that Europe doesn’t is protected former trackbeds - European governments go around salting the earth after closing a railway so when they want to reopen it in 30 years they either can’t or have to spend billions. The US can just reopen it.

Also you can actually see the stars and can hold a regular sleep schedule unlike in summer where it never actually gets beyond twilight

Is guys really needed after youse?

The guys is needed where there’s no 2.pl pronoun to distinguish from individual you, but youse fixes that

I think intel support it (or at least a translation layer) but there’s no motivation for Nvidia to standardise to something open-source as the status quo works pretty well

Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

The main reason Intel can’t compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

And here I was thinking Arc and storage were the only semi-competitive wings of intel… They just needed a couple of years for adoption to increase

If it’s a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it’s grave robbing, but even if someone knows it’s their 224x great grandparent then if there’s no memory either directly or even via oral history then it’s definitely archaeology

There’s a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it’s up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that

most distros have something, yeah, generally called [something] monitor

can’t ban pages anymore with https, and while they don’t want to be lumped in with the authoritarian states that ban all on Wikipedia, they are like them at heart

The point of sanctions is to make it harder to run a country, part of that is making the citizens angry with the government

They don’t target Russians outside of Russia, and do target non-Russians in Russia, because they’re meant to actually be somewhat effective rather than just inciting hate

Sure, but people have memory and if you block people who aren’t even going to contribute to the running costs of the site via the channels they provide, never mind profit, then from the site owners perspective it’s pretty great if you recognise it as a site you don’t want to visit as you likely won’t come back

spooky month 👻
