The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they’re often overlooked (speaking from experience).

It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”

Yeah, and as someone lse mentioned: they often have a Libby service that gets you tonnes of free audiobooks and other digital materials.

I mean, you’re not wrong - but it’s a technique used every day for super-resolution microscopy.

There’s some surprisingly sci-fi stuff that’s possible with image deconvolution. Not exactly practical, but it is possible to recover some information from a blurry photo.

I’ve been there. I soooo get it. And as someone who has been there, I’ll tell you what I wish someone told me sooner: Try to find some way to get your heart rate up.

It sounds trite, but I swear there’s almost no better way to do it. I know how hard it is to start when you’re in a rut, but literally, 30 mins of elevated heart rate every day will change things for you. It wont happen immediately, or even over night. But change will come.

I believe in you. The fact that you’re posting about it means something.

Nothing but love from a stranger on the internet.

I seem to be collecting vintage lenses. I stared by getting an adapter for my mirrorless camera and I just fell in love with the lovely character their ‘flaws’ give them.

Yes, I think if we can get an LLM to work while providing high quality, real world sources it will be a game changing technology across domains. As it stands though, it’s like believing a magician really does magic. The tricks they employ are incredibly useful in a magic show, but if you expect them to really cast a fireball in your defense, you’ll be sorely mistaken.

Did you read mine? If you wanted a depiction of a city, it’s more than good enough. In fact it’s amazing what it can do in that respect. My point is: it gets major details wrong in a way that feels right. That’s where the danger lies.

If your GPS consistently brought you to the wrong place, but you thought it was the right place, do you not think that might be a problem? No matter how many people found it useful, it could be dangerously wrong in some cases.

My worry is precisely because people find it so useful to “look things up”, paired with the fact that it has a tendency to wildly construct ‘information’ that feels true. It’s a real, serious problem that people need to understand when using it like that.

It’s like searching for a picture of Prague, seeing a drawing of Delhi, and then concluding you’ve been there. It’s not about laziness. It’s about accuracy.

The Brits have undoubtedly the best outlets from a safety perspective, despite their size. North American outlets are garbage by basically all measures. European plugs are weirdly round, but very functional.

My two (€/100)s

Ironically, this post has some serious “Checkmate, Atheists” energy.

I’m not sure blasting adhoc justifications for what you feel is really philosophy, but if that’s what we’re doing… My mistake. Philosophy then. So tell me, Socrates, what is a human right?

Deep in that American politique, eh?

I mean healthcare is definitely a human right, but there is always more we could be doing. That’s a kind of arbitrary distinction that I don’t think adds anything to the discussion here.

Basic human needs are basic human rights. I really do think it’s as simple as that.

The text OP provided explains that. It’s a percentage of total linux users, not a percentage of computer users in that country.

Source?

I mean, the graph doesn’t fo a good job of showing it, but it looks like there are around 50% more users now compared to June.

Chicken? Or was it egg?

There’s a photo editing software called gimp that is FOSS. Google gimp suits for more info.
