Your EDIT. The first thing it suggested is actually very similar to ensembles in meteorology. I actually find myself doing that often if it's something extremely important. Just feels natural to cross-check with other models or with re

Business account though. Everyone else is just a waste of time to provide support to. I'm a regular consumer who bought a Dell Precision laptop (which still kicks ass btw, to their credit for all their faults) and they bent over backwa

That sounds both wholesome and horrifying. Like we are well into the digital age but sometimes people are just stubbornly analog.

I can also attest to horrific lagspikes on an Optimus laptop even if Intel is driving the desktop. Memory pressure is definitely the problem here. Lagspikes actually lessened when I switched to Wayland Gnome. I think they lessened further

Meanwhile my home ISP (Charter) will gladly give me a /60 if I set my router to ask for one.

BSP is a technique for optimizing visibility calculations on convex level geometry. You're still making a 3D model and that's exactly what's stored as part of a .bsp file. So the point isn't BSP being outdated. Just Tren

More accurately a giant lightbulb, but emitting at 102.7 MHz (my favorite local radio station) rather than ~450 THz (my favorite color). Put visible light over a really long waveguide and modulate the colors, you invented fiber optic teleco

You can kinda do that with Pixels and Sony Xperias only, because last I recall, they implement Android Verified Boot correctly (or non-draconianly), specifically avb_custom_key. From a security and freedom perspective, I actually like the r

I think I see an underlying point though. What other Internet protocol or service requires the user client to supply endless additional arbitrary metadata to even gain access to a resource, let alone receive information? Not even email is

At that point, nonacquiescence is the only remedy, for the FAA to simply ignore the ruling. The executive branch also has more guns than the judicial branch. I would love to think that anyone in any position of regulatory power involving pu

I imagine Gentoo would be extremely difficult to visualize because USE flags add a 4th spatial dimension...

Personal anecdote: that actually saved an important doctor appointment. "URGENT MESSAGE WHEN FLASHING". Well, lights were flashing, guess we could tune to it and hear what it has to say. Sure enough, it announced a traffic jam on

I THINK it is FM, narrow FM. My SDR receives some attenuated incomplete-sounding signal when switched to AM on 162.55 MHz even if I widen the bandwidth, and switching to narrow FM gets me the same clarity and volume as my actual weather rad

Makes me think that TikTok and YT pranksters are accidentally producing psychological data on what makes people tick under scenarios of extreme deliberate annoyance. Although the quality (and importance) of that data is obviously highly var

As another layperson, I understand it as the physics equivalent of solving for x, but far less trivial. We figure it must exist because it's a missing puzzle piece in the mathematics that accurately predicts everything else. This is re

That's the case for cable Internet, which I wager is a large plurality of Internet connections in the US. At least Charter for the past few years has been rolling out equipment along their cable network to support more uplink bandwidth

Would be interesting to see how minimal they could make the overhead, since that's one of their goals. I wonder what the lower limit might be. That would have broad implications for basically everything else in userspace.

Funny enough, a KVM might be needed for KVM if you give the VM control of a USB hub and a discrete GPU using IOMMU and you only have one monitor and set of peripherals, but two hubs and an integrated GPU.

I kinda wish the address bar in any browser had an "advanced" popout menu that's basically a curl frontend with all of its bells and whistles. Basically move that functionality from the dev tools.

I can vouch for this. In my experience, both the printer and original ink have lasted 7 years (and counting) with very infrequent prints. Just a few head cleanings from the maintenance menu if it's been a while and it still works. It&#

Asking it about more technical details about how SD works for some specific task. Nothing to do with its ability to generate images itself. Although with newer breakthroughs like Latent Consistency Models, it's aging like milk already.

It seems like police are heavily YMMV. I reported a felony theft and my local police referred it to my state's equivalent of the DoJ, and they are actually investigating. I was surprised.

My guess would be activists and strong regulatory/legislative pressure, moral panic. Kinda resonates with the recent legislative attacks on E2EE.

What I don't get is why apps are still blurry on 4K screens last I tried it on Ubuntu, with 200% fractional scaling. If they're non-blurry on 1080p, shouldn't it be a perfectly linear 1:1 upscale?

I use Stable Diffusion (A1111 webui) and sometimes run into config issues, sometimes untracked by git. Nothing more catastrophic than doing `git clean -dfx` by habit from tinkering with Debian packages and knowing that command actually rese

To add to the other replies, interesting to note War Thunder itself has had native Linux support since before the Steam Deck. I think it was mostly half-assed/broken until they implemented Vulkan. Now it's flawless in my experienc
