It is a Japanese game. I would say that almost none of the characters actually look they are from the place they should be. If her story makes you uncomfortable, that is fine. But I wouldn’t base it solely on one throwaway piece of information that you probably couldn’t even find in the game itself.

You do realize I never criticized AI’s or anything like that, right? I just don’t like people using terms that no one uses. It just provides further confusion on a topic that most people are already very confused by. I personally think there are some good uses for LLMs, just usually not the ones that are being marketed in the west.

Btw, I am educated in computer science and machine learning. Even tough it at university for a few years. And work in this field for about 8 years. That is precisely the reason why I don’t think that using terms like ANNs is useful. You just decided to focus on one technology and decide that is the right way to call this field. And again, no one in academia or in practice uses the term ANN.

Sure, but no one uses the term ANN. It is basically useless and not even that precise. I agree that calling LLMs AI is pretty misleading. But it is better to call them what they are. If you want umbrella term for LLMs, computer vision, reinforcement learning etc. I would go with machine learning instead of ANN. Even in universities, you won’t learn much about ANN (as in the mathematic model) aside from like first lecture.

There are many approaches in machine learning and some, not all of them, use ANN.

Sure, I am not a fan, but I don’t see any huge issue with this. Unfortunately, quite a lot of projects do stuff like this. If you are really concerned you can use matrix without using anything from matrix foundation (aside from the protocol) there are alternative clients like cinny. And even alternative servers like conduwuit.

I would say it varies. In most episodes sure, but from O’Brien’s “He was more than a hero; he was a union man.” to the previous episode of Lower Decks, where the crew helped people abolish capitalism, and it was celebrated like a party. So I would say that it is a bit more leftist than you give it credit for.

Don’t get me wrong, I use Beets for my entire library, but it doesn’t solve any of the issue OP has. It does not get metadata from streaming sites or anywhere else, but same as Picard from Musibrainz. It does not allow to manually change metadata of music you are importing. On the contrary, for that Picard is the better tool as it allows that.

There are not many advantages of using Beets over Picard, apart from CLI, and especially for the OP use case.

Beets is great but it also uses musicbrainz so won’t really help OP.

Basically just FromSoftware games and Baldur’s Gate, if that actually counts as AAA. Other than that, I only play indie games.

Not really sure if that applies here. Mpv is more than 10 years old at this point. I really wouldn’t worry about it going away any time soon.

For the fun of it, I just checked current incarceration numbers. It is about a 20000/per year. To be fair Czech population was lower back then (although I am not sure if they are not counting Slovakia as well, as they were one country) but still just, 200000 is pretty low for 40 years of “totality”.

Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Gentoo -> NixOS

Czechia, same here. Same old Russia wants to invade all of Europe so we have to defend ourselves.

The issue with these kinds of tests is that Zen kernel never claimed to be faster. It is supposed to be more responsive, especially under heavy load. Which is basically impossible to test.

I am pretty sure that is a prerequisite to becoming US president.

Not sure if it is illegal in Germany, but laws usually aren’t so specific. Where I live we basically made “From river to the sea” illegal, because “it promotes genocide”.

Summons are the way to go. Especially when combined with spells/incantations. You can kill most bosses by just summoning and using Rot Breath and just running away. Some bosses also have weaknesses that you can exploit.

But if all else fails, summoning other players is probably the easiest way.

If it helps at all, even thought I disagree with you on feminism etc. here. I really appreciate your posts in privacy and FOSS communities. Especially when it comes to GrapheneOS.

I’ve been reading all the replies in this thread and feel like I am missing something. As far as I can tell, the only thing Hakim is saying, is that it is important to consider Islamic influence on current Palestinian struggle. Not that the only reason the people are fighting is because of Islam, or that Islam is any way better for liberation of colonized people.

I wouldn’t be even surprised if Islam is actually more prone to anti-colonial struggle than other religions, but I don’t know enough about it to make such claims. But more importantly, I don’t see anything that says that struggle for Palestinian liberation is something that is possible only thanks to Islam.

Religious text can have huge influence even in completely irreligious populations (in this case, people who identify as atheist). For example, my country is one of the most irreligious in the world. But (in my opinion unfortunately) many of our customs, laws, world view, etc. are in some ways derived from the Bible. So it would be fair to say that to understand my country, it might be a good idea to read the Bible.

Which I would say is basically what Hakim is saying here. If you want to have better understanding of current Palestinian fight for liberation, it is useful to have knowledge of Islam. Which I would say is a completely fair statement. Especially considering how demonized Muslims are in western countries.

I am happy to be corrected, but I just cannot see what people are complaining about in this post.

I have had my first dnd game few days ago. Now I am getting more into 3d printing miniatures, studying how to role-play, and trying to create a good character.
