The calls to return to normalcy came at the height of pandemic related deaths and so we stopped testing, stopped reporting, and pretended the pandemic was over when it wasn’t. I will never forget when a large portion of the population decided the lives of the vulnerable mattered less than “normalcy.”

They will learn

Generally the US just did nothing helpful at a federal level and the Republican party took an ideological stance against preventative measures like masks or social distancing, which meant a large portion of the country went out of their way to avoid such measures or even ban businesses and local governments from implementing them. Schools and universities had their funding threatened if they required masks. I was a grad student / TA at the time and the most we could do was put up flyers that said “please consider wearing a mask, it’s not required” and 0 of my students wore them. We had elderly professors retire early because they didn’t want to die over such stupidity.

It is, but the amount of math that relies explicitly on ZFC without being about ZFC is relatively little. Most people don’t think about a particular formalism and the shift to a new one would likely be transparent

It’s evocative, it gets the people going

A bit of friction when going off the beaten path is generally a good thing. Some people always take this too far though

Nixpkgs and home manager on top of Arch is a nice hybrid system. I gave up on the idea for my PC because it enforces a level of tidiness that I’m not always on board with. Sometimes I do Evil Things to my computer and leave garbage lying around. It doesn’t complain, and I’d shoot it if it did

For video, bitrate is definitely king. 4K high bitrate just gets insanely large. I opt for 1080p bluray quality when available over 4K usually. I looked into AI upscaling for video recently and it can be pretty good, but it’s a technology that changes fast so I’d rather store the original resolution and upscale in real time later (if at all).

For games, I find even FSR2 upscaling from 1440p to 2160p is excellent as long as it’s implemented properly (i.e. scaling the 3D world and not the UI), and FSR3/4 even better.

I think it’s more likely that consciousness is special and LLMs aren’t conscious.

If current LLMs are conscious then consciousness is a worthless and pathetic concept.

27" 2K is a good DPI. I personally only went up to 4K 27" because I also wanted OLED, and the 2K OLED panel I was using had some noticeable text fringing because of the subpixel layout. At 4K it’s not noticeable anymore.

You’re probably aware of this since you mentioned bitrate, but a lot of 4K streaming services use bitrates that are too low to capture much more detail at 4K compared to a lower resolution. A lot of games will recommend/effectively require upscaling (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) to achieve good performance at 4K. All of this is still maybe better than 1440p, but it shows 4K is still kind of hard to make full use of.

It’s very noticeable at the DPI of a 27" screen from arms’ length. Or maybe not if you can’t see very well. But on a TV from 10 feet away, I dunno if I could differentiate 1440p from 4K personally.

We might be the same

Update my mesa drivers mid-game? Yea fuck it why not

Turned into a sea lion

Systemd has something like this. I don’t know if the kernel itself does.

It’s chicken tenders with sauce

It’s for families of tea/hot water drinkers who drink many small cups throughout the day.

Thinking has nothing to do with it. The positive context in which the bot was trained made it unlikely for a sentence describing a likely negative reaction to be output.

People on Lemmy are absolutely rabid about “AI” they can’t help attacking people who don’t even disagree with them.

Honestly this is the first I’ve heard of groff, but I’d be surprised if it’s not easy to transpile a Markdown document into the format. Have written only Markdown-based docs for a decade
