I think the two Stand Alone Complex seasons are great and they’ve aged really well. I don’t remember much about the 95 movie, but I don’t think you can go wrong with it. I never got too much into the newer seasons (SAC 2045), as the CGI look and middling reviews put me off from watching them, but I might give them a go as prep for the new season starting this year.

Ah no sorry, I don’t remember there being any large-scale war element to it, so it might not exactly fit what you’re looking for. There’s a distinct “spec ops” feel to it and thought it’d be worth checking out given the overall theme.

Ghost in the shell

Wife and I bought a Prusa core one late last year (on sale) as an upgrade to our entry-level cobra neo, which we had rapidly outgrown.

We disqualified Bambu for largely the same reasons you did. We had a look at many different brands, but settled on Prusa because it’s the brand that we can reasonably expect to be supported the longest. Both on the software, but also availability of spare parts.

Many of the shipped parts are 3d printed, and there’s no shortage of spare parts on their own website. I’m fairly certain I will still be able to figure out replacement parts 10 years from now if something breaks, either through Prusa directly or by ordering a printed part from a domestic print-shop.

From my understanding, you have the option of starting with the MK4S (or earlier) and upgrading to the core one later. Not sure I’d recommend it given how long assembly takes, but having this level of repairability and reduction in waste appealed to me: I don’t want to throw out perfectly good hardware.

Prusa wasn’t an easy choice (pricing, open source pull-back), but we felt it was the most reasonable choice since we could afford the premium.

In theory: Yes, future works are not yet part of the training data.

In practice: It takes months or years for an open source project (or any new technology) to take off and be considered valuable.

The other argument relies on said tech organization doing the right thing, and spending resources on training their own model (years and 100+ million) instead of including the cost of the lawsuit and pending fine in their cost/benefit analysis. I’m not aware that any such tech organization (with the means) exists.

Gluetun has an example for qbt port forwarding integration on the wiki. I’ve been using this for about a year and some without problem (to my knowledge at least). I’ve seen that gluetun will retry setting the port in qbt for a while to work around the timing issues.

They also mention a bug in qbt when changing the port, which is also covered in the example.

Edit: I see you’re already using the port down script. Not sure what else could be the root cause if you’re running on an up to date container version :/

No, absolutely not. It is safe to assume that most/all open source (and otherwise) has been part of the training data. You need not look further than the fact that some models can recite Harry Potter from memory. There is no such thing as “clean room” for AI.

Bike-shedding has a different meaning.

The court is actually a clown town for pursuing DNS blocking instead of the CDN (Cloudflare). Is this just tech illiteracy at play?

Slop (but “privacy first”)

Why couldn’t they extend the server-side API to serve the content they wanted? The post opens with the words

It implies they have control of the full stack, and yet they’re not making use of this advantage.

I (partially) blame tvdb for this mess. SpongeBob has every story listed as a separate episode, but good luck finding any source that doesn’t bundle these up.

Meanwhile, the list for Kaguya just bundles all stories aired together in a single episode (thankfully).

We do and it’s part of our constitution (same situation as Germany about not being updated). Not that any of the recent governments have cared about this minor detail.

We only recently got rid of another law, which required logging of calls and texts by telecommunications.

This only ended because the EU courts ruled it was against the right to privacy, and it still took them 8 years to drag their feet following the ruling to abolish the law.

Various government from both sides of the political spectrum have slowly introduced, or paved the way for, more mass surveillance, but the current government has been extremely vocal about surveillance.

Edit: penal code says “sealed” messages are off limits. Not that they care 🙄

I was really surprised that they had added a switch capsule machine out front. It’s a nice way to pick up some weird switches.

They usually have some cute and decorative keycaps as well.

Scientific studies[25] using its ratings note that ratings from Media Bias/Fact Check show high agreement with an independent fact checking dataset from 2017,[8] with NewsGuard[9] and with BuzzFeed journalists.[10] When MBFC factualness ratings of ‘mostly factual’ or higher were compared to an independent fact checking dataset’s ‘verified’ and ‘suspicious’ news sources, the two datasets showed “almost perfect” inter-rater reliability.[8][20][26] A 2022 study that evaluated sharing of URLs on Twitter and Facebook in March and April 2020 and 2019, to compare the prevalence of misinformation, reports that scores from Media Bias/Fact Check correlate strongly with those from NewsGuard (r = 0.81).[9]

Yandex this one then

Honorable mention for Nichijou. Perfect comedy if you ask me :)
