The combo Reaper + yabridge works relatively well for me, did not get all my VSTs back but the basics are working.

I guess teenagers who do not have access to any device but a 3DS could have a good reason for using it

If you go for a tent, first don’t forget the tent pegs, and then it’s always comfortable having a tiny mallet to plant them, rather than using a rock or your bare hands.

It is not necessarily a character per se, but something akin to a body : an element through which you can influence and be influenced by the reality. Consider your mouse cursor for example : it lacks the humanization/personality of a character, at least imo, yet is the way you interact with most of your computer.

Can confirm, used it for Lethal Company, worked like a charm

Yay, infinite money glitch, let’s retire from adventurer life and just become wool traders

I tried ZorinOS, thinking it would be a nice transition from Windows to Linux, but it’s so nice i think i’ll stick with it for a while. Classic Windows-like recommendation is Linux Mint, and if i’m not mistaken both are ubuntu-based, so you would take advantage of that knowledge

“Chatte” (female cat) is the equivalent of pussy in english.

“Poulet” (chicken) is a cop. “Poulette” (hen) is a rather disrespectful word for a women.

“Gorille” (gorilla) is a tall muscular person.

“Cochon” (pig) is someone filthy, especially in the sexual sense. (can be used as an adjective, “films cochons” are porn films).

“Canard” (duck) can be a newspaper, or a mistake when playing music.

“Levrette” (female greyhound) is the name for the doggy style sexual position.

“Vache” (cow) can be either someone mean, either a cop. The second case is rarely used except in the sentence “Mort aux vaches” (death to the cops) and probably comes from the Wache germanic root for Guardian, rather than the actual animal.

Y’all seem to think that those people only exist in one random Lemmy community and never use anything else.

Women getting too much and too bad male input is literally what leads to women only spaces, not the other way around. And yet they still get male input everywhere else. It’s like thinking going to a Warhammer shop will radicalize you because they don’t play poker there, it’s not even stupid, it’s absurd.

Yes

I enjoy your enthusiasm but

I highly recommend […] to everyone

It’s not for the faint of heart.

are a bold choice of juxtaposed sentences.

I think the idea here is not to say that hiphop/rap does not talk about or even glorify drug use/violence/misoginy, but rather that most popular music styles do, in this specific case classic country.

To use .dll VSTs on Linux with Reaper, i use yabridge. If i understood correctly it mixes the use of the linux .so VST format and Wine to trick the VSTs into thinking they run on Windows. So you can run Reaper outside of Wine, and automatically have access to Windows VSTs (once you setup yabridge properly).

It has some huge limitations (most Waves plugins are a big no, getting Kontakt to work seems to involve black magic way beyond my understanding, etc) but i got some plugins to work very well!

On the safety of Wine, i’m not sure at all. From what i understand of this forum, Wine itself is not really dangerous, but it does not block applications from communicating with Linux filesystem and environment so it’s not 100% safe. However you are slightly protected by the niche aspect of Linux, which makes it unlilely for attackers to take time to code a virus that handles Linux way of working. And from my small experience with hacked VSTs on Windows, most werent a threat, especially when i took them from the same hacking team

Yup, seeing a french flag in a private context feels off, you immediately get the sense that whoever put it up has very intense feelings about the Motherland/Fatherland.

From the Wikipedia articles of chess and shatranj (old middle-east/south asia ancestor of chess), without checking their sources :

• king, knight, rook and pawn move the same (except the initial 2 squares for the pawn, which were introduced later)
• queen only moves one square at a time diagonally
• bishop only moves two squares at a time diagonally (jumping over potential pieces)

This is a very appropriate thread to wish you a happy cake day!

Okay, i think there is quite a misunderstanding here.

Some older versions of LLMs (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) can play chess relatively well (around 1750 Elo) : here is a link to an article studying that.

Some points :

• it is of course way worse than almost any algorithm designed for chess
• one of the reason we cannot get these result back (at least not that good, here is a link to a blog post of someone making recent LLMs chatbots better at chess) could be that we do not have access to pure completion mode on models trained on selected data (where they could purposefully choose only good chess matches), and those are now hidden behind a chatbot layer instead.
• it seems to reveal that models have a somehow accurate representation of the chess board when predicting chess moves
• it seems to have a quite unique feat that is : if you feed them a prompt that say they play as a very good player, and then the beginning of a game with a blatant bad move (giving away a queen for example), they sometimes play the entire game with moves that purposefully give away pieces, as if they guess that the only reason they would lose a piece that easily is by purposefully losing them. It has close to zero utility, but it’s interesting anyway.

I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it’s cooked in any form.

Law. I was pretty hyped up when i went to university to study it, but the more i learnt on the foundations of it and discovered the people it created, the more i hated it. Now I’m doing completely different things, and i’m glad my parents didn’t force me to keep doing it.

Crêpes-party ! Cook a bunch of crêpes and prepare some stuff to put in : either salty (meats, cheeses, cream, smoked fish,…) or sweet (chocolate sauce, caramel, jelly, fruits spread, sugar,…). You can ask people what they like before hand, so that everyone has something they appreciate. If you need a vegan option, you can swap milk for plant milk and eggs for a mix of starch and water.
