Looks to me like they're using an LLM for _translation_, not for generating a response. The model output even says "Here's the _translation_" (emphasis mine).

KDE Connect works fine for me and does more than clipboard (files, mouse sharing etc.).

Minio used to be de facto here, but they did a bait and switch recently and removed the UI from the free version. Garage is probably closest to best in class for open source on prem.

There's a couple of computerphile videos on this:

Yeah, I think for learning, the 4(?) octaves is probably sufficient.

And cost is probably due to first gen, yeah. Plus, hardware development is pricey, I think.

There's also https://plugandplink.com/, which includes a hardware component to help the person learning (lights on the snake).

The app also includes preprepared videos and lessons (scales, arpeggios etc.) which interact with the hardware component.

My son's been using it with a tutor remotely and it's been working great! Not only that, but he can use the app and the snake to self-guide his practise during the rest of the week.

I've always assumed it's a nod to the original underground signage which had offset capital letters (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/London_U...).

The community edition of PyCharm is pretty widely regarded. VSCode is also pretty good but I would say it's more of an impressive text editor than an IDE.

Huh, I didn't know that! Thanks.

Shorter still:

    sort -u < list_of_numbers

Is that proper english?

The rate of a rate is the acceleration, so it's valid English, but probably not what was meant.

Thunderbird works well for me. Interfaces with GMail IMAP. Has a nice quick filter and all the usuals (filtering, folders, labels).

The calendar interfaces with your Google calendar too (with the Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar add-ons).

Available for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Uh, did it? I mean, it talked about kids and YouTube in the last couple of paragraphs, which is an aspect to consider, but the rest of the article focused on the study, its limitations and the possible implications.

Wouldn't it be easier to add the touch screen to an existing form factor and OS than to add all those things to an iPad?

Don't all those things on your wish list just make it like every existing OS/machine?

I use my Nextcloud install (since it provides a WebDAV interface).

In the options under the Sync tab, I select WebDAV as the File Syncing type and for the URL I put:

    my.nextcloud.server.com/remote.php/webdav

Works flawlessly.

Someone even went so far as to build a FUSE filesystem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GmailFS

Ocean sciences would be good (oceanography, marine biology, remote sensing), but I'm not sure to what level of detail you're willing to split subjects.

They have a great approach to recommend inviting surprising and unexpected people. I don't work in publishing or journalism and have been twice, for example.

Fair enough.

Same is surely true of topics presented on stages.

In my line of work (science) the topics are submitted ahead of the conference and then relevant papers/talks are submitted to each of those. As such, anyone is able to propose a topic so long as they can justify its inclusion.

To attract a mix of industry leaders the mix of weekday / weekend days is a pragmatic choice.

I'm not sure I understand why industry leaders are more likely to attend if it's at the weekend. Surely if it's their industry, it's part of their work and so they can come during the work week.

It's all voluntary of course!

In principle, at least. Of course, if a lot of important decisions are being make the in voluntary evening activities, then those that choose not to or can't go to the evening events are at a disadvantage. Point taken about early birds.

All that said, I can definitely see the benefit of organised social activities.

That's because real things are happening, difficult issues are actually being resolved, voices are listened to and progress gets made.

This sounds awfully like the tag line for some startup.

people who sit at the back or like to take time off for sightseeing

An interest in sightseeing or a quieter demeanor is not mutually exclusive of valuable contributions.

Honestly, this sounds awful to me.

1. Invite-only increases the likelihood of an echo chamber, in my mind. I go to conferences to find out about things that arean't already on my radar.

2. This approach means only topics championed by those loud enough to speak up are discussed. There's no possibility for niche topics to get an airing if noone else knows anything about them since there's less likely to be a consensus to add them to the agenda.

3. One of the best aspects of attending a conference in my mind is the ability to combine it with a bit of tourism. I suppose that's a personal preference.

4. That's good for now, but when Google an The Knight Foundation stop supporting it, who's going to pay?

5. This is terrible. Work is for the week, weekends are my time and my work does not get to encroach on that.

6. Great, so at the end of the day, I can't even relax in the hotel room. So the next day, I'm wiped before we even start.

There is a crippled version of IFS (the ECMWF forecast model) which has the data assimilation code removed available [0], thought its licence terms are pretty restrictive for most uses [1] besides pure research (it is, for example, forbidden to use it for personal uses!).

If you're using Python anyway, you can use scipy's triangulation module to avoid having to compile triangle:

https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.14.0/reference/generated/...

The triangulation can then be plotted fairly straightforwardly with matplotlib's triangulation routines: matplotlib.pyplot.triplot and matplotlib.pyplot.tripcolor (https://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tripcolor_dem...).

It takes a fraction of a second to pop up (maybe a few hundred milliseconds).

Showing me where the link points when I hover the mouse over it is something so fundamental to browsing I just can't figure out why it was ever removed

Firefox 57 (and maybe previous versions, I can't remember) pops up a "temporary status bar" (for lack of a better phrase) with the link destination in it when you hover on a link (https://imgur.com/a/Vo7AZ).

I'm considering a switch the emby since this seems to be the way Plex is heading.

That and the privacy policy changes they've added recently give me pause for thought about their intentions.

Piwik seems to work OK for me.

Or they buy every amazon.$TLD before anyone else does.

Just be aware that Google's "hits" number is a wild overestimate. For example, the "helium" "futures" search actually only returns 222 pages (which is obviously still much higher than DDG): https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22helium%22%20%.... Likewise, the "opec" "rebalancing" "peak" returns only 264: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22opec%22%20%22...

The 'new' aspect of this discovery is that we didn't know it was there before. I think that's a perfectly valid thing to call new.

I don't think anyone's claiming the plastic is new.
