On the other hand, he Doesn’t think you can double a sphere by cutting it into 5 pieces and reassembling them, so there’s that.

4·1 day agoTIL ectoplasm in the ghost sense (as opposed to cellular) is a concept that existed before Ghostbusters. I thought they just took the cell biology term to sound sciency.
That’s too much delay and too insecure for businesses around here.
Many don’t even take checks for pretty much the same reasons (they are basically the same system, but entrenched): There’s no guarantee that the person paying actually has the money for the business to later receive it.
This Lemmy post is, however, an excellent way to find out about it. Thanks!
Bank transfers here take 3 days typically. And that’s business days, so add another one if it’s after 4:30 pm, also Saturday, Sunday, and holidays don’t count.
Having recently watched Tenet, I feel like it’s missing a few words.
Cute story though.
I believe it’s also not a proper picture in the wider sense: The whole thing was probably generated, not just the water, “plastic”, and device.

That might still be true even if the genre of the story was different from “Trauma” - simply as a function of its length

Because documentation should be accurate and comprehensive. LLMs can do neither.
What is it?
I know that Python is a programming language. I know what notebooks are generally, but I don’t know if there’s a more specific meaning for the two words together.
The community sidebar is also empty, at least in my client. And I don’t see any posts.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?
3·9 days agoMy previous phone was replaced when the main (for most apps only) camera stopped working, and more importantly, it randomly rebooted frequently whenever Wi-Fi was on. Also, my carrier didn’t acknowledge that it used LTE, so it was about to be booted off the network.
Also the OS was old enough that some apps I used were starting to drop support and I would hear about others I couldn’t install.
And Google Services Framework very often got into a rut where it would use 100% CPU and crash every few seconds, eventually getting bad enough that rebooting rarely helped. I wrote a long bash script to try and monitor it and reset it when it did this (by deleting a file that occasionally seemed to help and killing all its processes at once) but it just got worse over time. I didn’t want to do a factory reset for some reason I’ve now forgotten.
My wife asked how many different games I’m regularly playing each day.
Let’s see it in logarithmic
What I don’t understand is why there is so much resistance to the idea of having swap plus a separate hibernation file that is only enabled on demand. I finally got it working on my laptop, but it took a Lot of fiddly obscure manual configuration (which I wish I had documented - I don’t just mean setting the offset in grub) and it still didn’t play well with hybrid sleep, etc.
This is the only way to have hibernation that works at any memory pressure.
And yet on my phone I wish websites would stop hawking the native app and just let me use the site. In a way I suppose this is the same complaint since the native apps are often a web wrapper with telemetry.
