It’s the same price and similar specs to current Chromebook models, which is what I think they are trying to compete against.

You can tell because there’s only one camera instead do the 3-6 on a modern phone

Some anti cheat either didn’t work well with Linux or is specifically intended to be incompatible with Linux.

You can’t turn pure heat into useful energy. Thermoelectric generators tap into the transfer of heat between a hot reservoir and a cold reservoir.

When leveling, I often prioritize BP and if I need more of the other stats I equip the badges that use 3bp for 3 hp or fp.

I often save the star points to use Sweet Treat which is a reasonably reliable heal if you can get good at it. In certain situations I’ll use the other star powers for high damage.

I regularly switch which characters I’m using and their builds depending on the enemies in the area. Do you need high single target damage or AOE? Are there fliers? Are there spiky things?

Gombella is not bad early game and Koops is quite good IMO. Koops can hit all grounded enemies at once, which is very useful AOE, and Goombella has some decent jumping single target damage.

I feel like a lot of this advice also applies to Expedition 33.

You should only need to use tattle at most once per enemy type, I’m not sure why you would use it after that.

I should try it on anime. I was using it on phone videos.

I ran a comparison between libsvtav1 and h264 and h265 and found that libsvtav kinda sucks.

It does produce smaller file sizes at h265, but it tends to add a visible blur.

Compress video to a broadly compatible format:

ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 25 -preset slow -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

This incantation is what I end up needing 99% of the time I do something with ffmpeg.

YouTube and windows movie maker are almost certainly using ffmpeg.

I keep hearing “oh this new model is better!”

I have a test case I’ve been using. A real-world piece of code I needed, that isn’t something super original but has a few tricky steps in it.

The first time I’ve seen AI able to get even close to finishing the task was recently. Its code worked, and there were only a few minor tweaks I had to make before it was in a condition I’d consider acceptable to merge into my own work.

It took about 30 minutes to do its task, maybe longer. I spent 5 minutes reviewing it but it would have been longer if I hadn’t previously done the task myself and knew exactly what I was looking for. I think it took me about an hour when I did that task myself the first time. Ultimately using AI for this might have saved me about 15 minutes?

I guess it might be borderline useful at that rate. I might look into using it more in the future, but I still don’t really expect it to become a tool I regularly use.

My locally hosted Qwen3 30b said “Walk” including this awesome line:

Why you might hesitate (and why it’s wrong):

• X “But it’s a car wash!” -> No, the car doesn’t need to drive there—you do.

Note that I just asked the Ollama app, I didn’t alter or remove the default system prompt nor did I force it to answer in a specific format like in the article.

EDIT: after playing with it a bit more, qwen3:30b sometimes gives the correct answer for the correct reasoning, but it’s pretty rare and nothing I’ve tried has made it more consistent.

It’s also not as stable as they market it to be

Running a study that’s unethical and scientifically rigorous and pushing the results, is a mark of a bad scientist.

This is rather similar to how the “vaccines cause autism” myth started.

The result is cool, assuming it’s real, but he did not go about this in a scientific way, so the “published” results are basically junk, and it doesn’t reflect well on him as a scientist, and it sounds like it might lose him his job, for good reason IMO.

It’s worth noting that most commercial multimedia software is also more or less a wrapper around ffmpeg

I’ve been in three different apartments in my current city and I’ve needed black out curtains to sleep in all of them.

Minecraft copyright doesn’t cover the entire genre of block-based sandbox pixel art games. Minecraft isn’t even the first in that genre, even if it’s the most popular by a wide margin.

Unless Microsoft can prove that one of the textures started by copying a Minecraft texture, or that substantial bits of code are copied from Minecraft, there is no claim.

Is all your music in opus?

It’s “let’s a go!”
