Honestly, wherever these images come from, if they were posted every day it would probably help visibility of what they actually DO.

The player interface is excellent. Being able to see who the actors are in each scene is one of my favorite UI features.
I agree that finding a thing you want to watch is meh at best. Especially because they mix in rentals, purchasable content, and prime content all in the home interface window.
That said, yo ho matey.

I agree. I think arbitration should be limited to one-off cases, not class action lawsuits because you sell a faulty product.

New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now
Relevant instructions:
Opt-out. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-outdiscord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later
I had to ask bing copilot how to write the opt out email. Here’s a template for everyone to use.
Subject: Opt-Out of Discord Arbitration Clause
Dear Discord Legal Team,
I am writing to formally opt out of the arbitration clause outlined in your Terms of Service. I do not wish to be bound by the arbitration provisions.
Please confirm my opt-out status via email.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

I'm 99% sure it's not real
As an engineer:
This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.
Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.

Poison is generic. Venom is specific to normal method of delivery (e.g. snakes and bees).
Swallowing venom may or may not hurt you. Probably not a great idea, but there’s a better chance you’ll be okay.
Getting a known poison stabbed/injected intravenously seems likely to be pretty effective, but it depends on the mode of action. Blood goes everywhere in the body, so it will likely find its target eventually.

Good evening I hate Windows. Yes, I have to do this.
Please explain why you don’t open powershell and run cmd.exe instead of running bash? This is a strange workaround and doesn’t really make sense.

Who is this for?

They are not joking, and some cars cannot adjust the angle or lateral position of the headrest without replacement. There are cars (like 2009 Lincoln MKZs, cough) that have headrests and seats that look and feel exactly like the image.
I owned one for about 3 years, and I still blame it for starting my weird neck/shoulder problems years later.

DeepSeek ditches Nvidia for Huawei chips in V4 launch
Reply in thread
It’s only the standard for people who self host their llms and don’t have $500k to throw at hardware for GLM-5.1 or similar models.
I have qwen3.6:27b on my local hardware and it’s way better than I expected. I’m excited for the rest of the 3.6 line as it comes out, if they can keep up that quality.
This story is also a nothing burger. Generally, yes, Nvidia will suffer once chinas stack catches up (soon). By then whatever bubble we are in will have normalized one way or the other.
In terms of actually deploying this model, it doesn’t matter what hardware you’re using. VLLM supports almost everything with SIMD-type hardware instructions.
More competition will make everyone happy except Nvidia shareholders.

It really is the worst image format
Reply in thread
As an expert in image processing:
.png supports pretty extreme compression, while a jpeg can also be lossless. The extensions tell you nothing except which family of algorithms was used to encode/compress/store them.
Webp though, webp is only used for the internet. I mean, you could use it other places, I guess.

I asked Meta’s Muse for its filesystem and it sent me 6.8 GB
This sounds like a fork of OpenClaw with an extra embedding memory system built in. A bit like hindsight or one of the other vector memory stores with the ability to overwrite a memory.
I’m betting there’s a lot of formerly open source projects here that got vendored to make this.

OneDrive deleted my files!
Reply in thread
I feel your pain man. Our university of 40k people did the same thing “from on high” and we ran into the same problems in our lab. We only had 4 million files to move into a Teams share. Which, btw, takes about 5 weeks to “sync” to OneDrive, which is how we were expected to replace our workflow instead of a shared network storage drive our lab owned

GitHub walks back plan to charge for self-hosted runners
Note that they didn’t say they would never do it, only that they wouldn’t do it right now.
Opinion: it’s coming soon.

Every time I use podman
Reply in thread
The learning curve for quadlets is quite harsh in my opinion. I started with podman compose 3 years ago for my homelab, because it allowed user containers.
I tried to migrate to quadlets unsuccessfully, several times over the years. it was only recently that my self-hosted Qwen was capable enough to figure out where I was messing up and automate the process a bit.
I probably wasn’t sufficiently motivated. It felt like podman compose is basically docker compose, but quadlets are a quite a bit different in form and function, so I was never able to grok them:

Sounds like they could have been lazy and simply disabled/blocked your dns lookups, or stopped providing your route to 0.0.0.0/0. VPN provides new dns provider and a route to the internet at large, and you’re back in business.

It also massively reduces contact with the road.
My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.
Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.
