you could always symlink .Trash to /dev/null if you don’t care about potential accidents

C is memory safe if you program it well enough, so I guess C

Yeah even gpt4o couldn’t keep track of encounters, run battles etc. in my case…

I think if you wanted to do it mechanically consistently you’d probably need to integrate it into a vtt where you give it context and potentially fine-tune it to give quest related summaries & gming rather than just “stuff”

Yeah, of course it varies place to place but I think for the majority of at least somewhat developed countries and urban areas in less developed countries 50Mbps is a reasonable figure for “normal home internet” - even at 25Mbps you’re looking at 4½ hours for 50GB which is very doable if you leave it going while you’re at work or just in the background over the course of an evening

Edit: I was curious and looked it up. Global average download is around 50-60Mbps and upload is 10-12Mbps.

Counterpoint: the vote is near to 50/50 and neither of those maps look anywhere close to 50/50. Come back when you’ve got an alternative that looks proportional, not equally bad just the other way.

+1

As a huge NFS Underground fan, The Crew is the only game I’ve played that comes close

Wait wtf, how hot does it have to be for you to wear shorts?

I’ll begin wearing them 100% of the time at 50F and 0% at maybe 30F?

And then I’ll have to cower indoors in underwear only at 70F or so, as that’s *too* hot

Let’s not pretend Guyana are as bad as Mexico, Nigeria and Kazakhstan though

This is so niche… Not current production, not future production, not emissions, just the difference between production now and production later seemingly designed to give the middle east and Venezuela a pass because they’re already producing a crazy amount

It wasn’t, however the association with Great Britain is undeniable, especially when Lesser Britain doesn’t even refer to Ireland any more (in Roman times it did), but Brittany, however “British Isles” was in use by the Greeks (at least Prettanic Isles) before even that - well before the union of England and Scotland, never mind Ireland’s conquest.

Personally I’m happy with Atlantic Isles/Islands/Archipelago as I agree the term isn’t great due to the implicit association, but it’s not like it was something just made up by colonists.

It does, especially given the name predates the country by 2-3 thousand years; it’s not exactly optimal but in reality “These Islands” is the only alternative and something is needed to refer to them from outside the islands.

I don’t think you understand how it works… An upload:download ratio must average (not simple mean, but that’s because ratios are nonlinear - I can’t recall the mean type but it’s the nth root of multiplying them all together) 1 in a system where all uploads and downloads are logged in the same tracker. It doesn’t matter who the uploader or downloader is or how recently they made their account. That’s what I meant by a closed system.

An open system would be where you download parts or all of a given torrent via another tracker, and the same with upload. The private tracker only logs what you downloaded and uploaded though it, so your ratio from the perspective of that tracker is different to in reality.

Even if you ignore the first 5 files or 15GB or whatever for new users, if you have those files then great but do you really want to turn it into a betting game of seeding supply and leeching demand?

I was referring to ones which explicitly require you to have a >1 ratio to download files, which do absolutely have leniency when you sign up, but the average ratio is 1 by definition assuming a closed system and so it’s infeasible for the majority to get >1. Often they have freeleach days but that requires you to be around on that day and also download stuff you don’t want to seed it, rather than just slightly reducing the required ratio (also IMO having a required ratio of any form is bad as it encourages people to turn off seeding after that point, generally I’ll seed stuff which has <5 seeders or low availability of parts I have, as seeding them to 100x is way more valuable than seeding 1000 files which have hundreds of seeders all with 100% availability to 1x)

I accept they want to keep leaches out though, so if they required a ratio of 0.5-0.75 that’d be fine, but from my experience most “entry level” private ones don’t, and most non-entry level ones either have closed signups or a requirement to be signed up with an existing private tracker in which things are either ridiculously over or underseeded with no inbetween, so it’s hard to build up a ratio.

LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It’s kind of a watermark but it’s one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you’ll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you’d write it in.

Intel Arc also works surprisingly fine and consistently for ML if you use llama.cpp for LLMs or Automatic for stable diffusion, it’s definitely much closer to Nvidia in terms of usability than it is to AMD

Are those the trackers which demand you have accounts with other private trackers before you join or the ones which demand everyone have a >1 ratio to download anything which is impossible by definition, so everyone either gets huge seedboxes, cheats the ratio or has to download niche but big files from other sites and switch out the tracker to artificially up the ratio?

I’m sure there are actually good private trackers, but I’ve found there are open/effectively open (sign up only with no verification/requirements) trackers with better communities than any restricted one I’ve found

Hey, you don’t even need to be a part of [Input Empire Here], you can just be a Hitler megafan and change your time zone to impress Senpai (ahem, Spain)

Life expectancy is how long you can expect to live from birth. It being 30 implies that you can expect to live 30 years, however in fact you’d most likely live <5 or >50 years

This is less interesting than standard deviation, percentage living to 50/60/70/80, or life expectancy for men/women and at 1/5/18 years old though, as the issue here is it’s hard to tell what is from things like dying in childbirth for both the child & mother and dying as a young child, vs being able to live longer, as we know people have lived well into their 80s and 90s since records began (ie Ancient Greece/Egypt/Sumeria) but this data implies that everyone used to die at 30, when in reality there were likely 2 peaks at 0-5 and 60-80
