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.
Cronyism is a symptom of any (not even the) class system, not capitalism. Those with power (ie those charged with administration/lawmaking under communism, those in power/with sufficient capital under capitalism) abuse their power to give more power to their friends and those like them. The only cure is openness and transparency in book-keeping and policy-making, but that’s not an economic ideology but a political one.
My parents 1741 house with new double glazing is like that - cool in summer, hot in winter without even needing the heating
I’m amazed that we collectively forgot how to build houses but I guess 2ft thick walls make a dent in the size of the living space and you’ve got to build a box with paper thin walls and no garden to optimise that
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
This isn’t capitalism, it’s more cronyism where the government takes on all the risk but outsources any profit to private companies
If it were capitalism, the full system would’ve collapsed over covid where there weren’t enough passengers. If it were socialism, it’d probably be largely the same given the number of lines that do lose money, but at least the profitable ones like the London-Birmingham/Manchester routes would be adding money to the government instead of private companies
2 was by far the most polished, but 3 had more features so I guess ideal lies somewhere in the middle
My gas meter thinks it’s on prepayment mode and won’t go off… The previous owners got it replaced, and it still didn’t work so they sent a technician out and made it so it won’t disable itself as it won’t stay in credit mode
How hard is it to make something that works?
Soon to be frowned upon
Better than illegal, which it currently is
Also nuisance begging is defined as:
begging where it is causing a public nuisance, such as by a cashpoint, in a shop doorway, on public transport, approaching people in their cars at traffic lights, and any broader incidence that cause harassment or distress
I’d personally say that’s ok to try and get people to move along from - it’s completely anecdotal but at least in Central London it’s often the most aggressive beggars who you also see doing hard drugs come night, having honed their techniques after years due to the even higher difficulty of getting out of homelessness while addicted as well as the increased difficulty of building a support structure or getting temporary accommodation while addicted. That means just enforcing this law would do little other than probably increase pickpocketing, as the government needs to intervene at the root cause rather than symptoms, however it’s still generally not people who are being honest who are doing what is defined here as nuisance begging so even if support structures were in place it should be a crime, while begging and sleeping rough aren’t.
I’m saying that the government led organisation will have had a negligible impact compared to regular people, therefore the levels of organisation (ie people publicly saying “I’m going to vote for x/y to show my support” and other people seeing that and thinking it’s a good idea) aren’t that big of a deal.
Also I think it’d be incredibly shocking if the EBU or at least individual broadcasters don’t already have requirements for tackling vote manipulation from suspicious/newly registered phones and especially voip services so a state organised campaign would have even less of an impact
I also see your source on the organisation is twitter (and I can’t even find the tweets there), so I’m inclined to doubt it’s true given nobody’s even reported on it, never mind people coming out and saying it’s happened despite the number of people in multiple countries who would be required to be sworn to secrecy to get something like that to work
I think you’re attributing more to organisation than is deserved
And there was an “organised plan” for Ukraine in 2022 insofar as people decided to vote for them regardless of their performance, which the few people who supported Russia in the conflict were probably pretty mad at, but couldn’t do anything to stop, just as people who support Palestine can’t do anything to stop Israel supporters here.
The reason Israel didn’t win is they have fewer supporters, but how Palestine’s supporters and frankly neutrals also are feeling is how Russia’s supporters and the smaller number of neutrals there felt… It’s impossible to keep politics out of this and it’s just a shame really
Not voting for Israel wasn’t going to have an impact if you weren’t voting for them anyway, however people who support Israel in the conflict voting for them will have an effect that there’s very little you can do to stop. You don’t think Russia would have had voting farms to stop Ukraine if it was possible? That’s why they got so many votes - if they have 15% support, then they’ll get that 15% of votes which is a significant number.
The reason networks are all shutting down 3G is because very few people use it anymore, which means the 3G bandwidth is split between 10s of people whereas the 4G is split between 10s of thousands, as is 5G
250Mb/s among 10 people is 25Mb/s for each person, 10Gb/s among 10,000 people is 1Mb/s for each person (made up numbers and it’s a bit more complex than this, but it demonstrates the point), so even though the 5G & 4G are capable of transmitting more data, per person they’re not.
If you repurpose the 3G tower as 4G or 5G you can cut that 10,000 in half, which annoyingly gets rid of the hack to use 3G when it’s being slow, but does improve the speed for most people
He was anti-zionist sure, but he also openly associated with and supported groups that go beyond anti-zionism into full blown anti-semitism and, despite plenty of prompting, continuously maintained that there was no issue with this.
There’s inferences made there, sure, but it’s very easy to say “I generally support X but they take Y too far” - even the current government is doing it when supporting Israel, but also making (hollow) statements that they should be more careful not to attack civilians as it’s clearly not right, but they still want to support their allies. Corbyn could’ve made similar statements, but he didn’t, either meaning that he didn’t see anything wrong with the anti-semitism or he thought that them also being anti-zionist excused it, neither of which are a good look.
Wow I was certain it’d be United Utilities and Thames Water, but I guess it is a 3 member mismanagement shitshow club rather than 2
Of course they are, they’re scared they’re even losing the vote of the “kids these days…” tory core so they’re thrashing about like a fish out of water trying desperately to not lose them… There’s been stories like this for months now and very little to come from most of them
That’s a human action anyway though… Not a “it’s been a while since you opened our app time to drag you back” notification
Yeah either you live in London so are paying at a minimum 1600/month or 20k/year for a 350k mortgage, or if you live in the north or less desirable parts of the south you’re gonna be paying 750/month or 9000/year for a 175k mortgage, either way if that’s 40%, once you consider tax, bills, heating, food, transport (because no way can you afford to live within walking distance of work as a first time buyer) and whatever else you frankly don’t have a whole load left all in
