Igualmente, uma Páscoa feliz a todos :)

Infelizmente é verdade, e é um problema não-trivial de resolver. O “efeito de rede” é bastante forte, é um ciclo vicioso. Mas lentamente, se formos contribuindo, a coisa vai melhorando ;)

Direito e dever cumprido. Entretanto ayualizo esta pub

The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.
In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don’t know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you’re doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people’s homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.

Vi quando passou, achei uma excelente reportagem/mini documentário. Deu luz a outros tempos, necessidades e a figuras normalmente mais esquecidas. Interessante!

Continuam muitas zonas sem luz por aqui…

I agree it’s a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that’s just because Nextcloud’s implementation isn’t quite mature enough.

(happy cakeday!)

Yes! Oh my, I’m silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃

Thank you for the correction!

As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn’t immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.

While the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn’t a good solution.

The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I’m not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there’s still some relatively “low hanging fruits” in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).

I say this as someone who’s been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.

Ah, that’s a nice one!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

It’s a key that makes the next 2 or more keystrokes be dead key inserts that combineinto some character otherwise impossible to type.

In my case, my keyboard had a ≣ Menu key which I never used, so I remapped it to Compose.

You’re correct, but that’s like saying along the lines of manufacturing a car is just bolting and soldering a bunch of stuff. It’s technically true to some degree, but it’s very disingenuous to make such a statement without being ironic. If you’re making these claims, you’re either incompetent or acting in bad faith.

I think there is a lot wrong with LLMs and how the public at large uses them, and even more so with how companies are developing and promoting them. But to spread misinformation and polute an already overcrowded space with junk is irresponsible at best.

I’ve been getting into the habit of also using em/en dashes on the computer through the Compose key. Very convenient for typing arrows, inequality and other math signs, etc. I don’t use it for ellipsis because they’re not visually clearer nor shorter to type.

That is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself. There’s no translation of weights to jumps in transformers and the underlying attention mechanisms.

I suggest reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(deep_learning_architecture)

Good point regarding ecommerce shops, was not aware they were sold there!

This. And to add to what other commenters have said, by using Bitwarden and paying for their Premium plan (very cheap, just $10/year), even if you don’t use all their features, you’re supporting a good project. It’s critical infrastructure, I think the price is more than fair.
Either way, you should always make periodic backups from any cloud service you use, encrypted of course.

This would be really neat, however it’s not trivial to sell those everywhere. If you’re lucky to live in a country or even city where they can get those to, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’re screwed.

Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea and tech behind Monero, actually accepting it is not practical at all, as the coin is used a lot for criminal stuff and is thus very strictly followed by many agencies. We don’t know if they can break it, but even they don’t, businesses can get a rough treatment just for accepting Monero. It’s perfectly understandable if they’d rather not do it.

Sim, essa visão é comum. No meu caso, consigo compreender o sotaque do Português do Brasil com grande facilidade, mas as diferenças de vocabulário às vezes tramam-me. No sentido contrário, creio haver, na generalidade, uma maior dificuldade de compreensão do sotaque em si, além de uma barreira de vocabulário também.

Penso que essa dificuldade acrescida dos sotaques vem do facto de no Brasil se consumir muito Português do Brasil, tanto pelo grande volume de produções nacionais, como de produções estrangeiras dobradas. Em Portugal, comparativamente, consome-se muito mais multimédia noutras línguas ou dialetos, tendo a legendagem um papel muito mais relevante que a dobragem. É de notar também que em Portugal, a presença da variante brasileira é consideravelmente mais marcada que a presença da variante portuguesa (ou europeia) no Brasil.

PS: Como o Vilna já referiu, se escreveste isto sem a ajuda de um tradutor, parabéns :) Peço desculpa se a minha resposta tiver palavras ou expressões mais elaboradas! Se tiveres dúvidas, estou ao dispor.
