Quelle connerie. On peut bien y faire quelque chose, non? Ça commence à faire cruel, là.

Great post. Full of useful tips I always need to remind myself of.

I had one til a few months ago!

I wonder this too, but I’m coming to believe that as long as investors are throwing money at housing and people need it, it might not burst. With enough wealth concentration, maybe it just all gets progressively bought up and rented out at insane prices, with growth coming from speculation among massive institutional investors.

But I haven’t really thought of this deeply or looked into whether it’s sound.

Tu as le droit de refuser en toute situation à l’intérieur de 30 jours de réception du nouveau bail, je crois bien. Le bail sera donc renouvelé au même loyer et le proprio devra aller au TAL pour argumenter l’augmentation.

The closest thing I’ve been able to find so far (which seems to have been under slow development by 1-2 contributors for the past couple years) is https://github.com/MPSQUARK/BAVCL which is based on ILGPU. I’ll probably be keeping an eye on it though.

Unfortunately I don’t believe NumPy has any built in accelerations (other than being a C library which is fast already), though I don’t really know the ins and outs. There are Python libraries that use the NumPy API or otherwise do some stuff to accelerate it on e.g. CUDA, but the Numpy.NET library as far as I know uses its own embedded Python + numpy, so as far as I can tell that wouldn’t be an option.

Unfortunately not, though I forgot about SIMD! It doesn’t seem to support arbitrary-sized matrices or arrays out of the box, though I guess I could index the vector type myself. Still, it doesn’t offer the operations I’d like, as far as I can tell.

Thanks though!

Got an XPS 13 9350, works fine, bluetooth and all, though I upgraded Ubuntu and the kernel and the integrated webcam hasn’t worked since, which I still don’t really understand.

This may not be relevant since I have a different gpu and am on Ubuntu, but when I installed proprietary drivers I didn’t have display either because I was using a version of the driver that was too recent (whether due to dropped compatibility or a bug I don’t know). An older one might work!

Google en passant

There might be some kind of trust system that could work. I have no idea of course but I’m envisioning something like Stack Overflow’s system and a bit of community correction and authority à la Wikipedia.

Why can’t the government just build it as a public utility?

Indeed. People almost invariably conflate capitalism with free markets, whereas those relatively independent properties.

That’s actually not true, right? https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/global-co2-emissions-from-transport-by-sub-sector-in-the-net-zero-scenario-2000-2030

In 2019 there are 6.08 Gt from road vehicles compared to the 0.87 Gt from shipping. That’s just overwhelming.

Yeah, I saw a link to a study that modeled outcomes within the next fre decades where acidification kills enough marine life and favors the reproduction of other microbes. Something about either low oxygen in the oceans and/or the atmosphere, or maybe a dangerous increase in stmospheric toxins resulting from that.

Maybe I’ll try and find it to verify.

Nah, I think they’re just being mass-created. No one’s actually spamming anything so far. You can see so on this directory of instances: https://the-federation.info/platform/73

If you scroll around you’ll find some that have like 10k or 20k users and 11 posts at most.

I’ve been thinking of hosting my own instance for myself, but I was wondering if you’d noticed any oddities! I’ve heard of some bugs that occur when interacting cross-instance. Also stuff about content being out of sync, which I notice currently with lemmy.ml from my current instance (lemmy.world).

You can find an option not to hide NSFW content in your profile settings!

If you sort by New on All you’re guaranteed to come across porn.

I agree, based on these statistics. Prior to the obvious jump in bot-farmed accounts, there were about 162000 active users with an active user proportion of about 0.186 (somewhere around >29000 active users).

Now there are 649k lemmy users and an active user proportion of 0.055 (~35600 according to the dashboard). If we assume those 35600 users represent the pre-bot-farming ratio of 0.186, we get 35600/0.186 or about just over 191000.

That’s still an increase of probably 30k true users, unless the proportion of lurkers have also suddenly drastically increased. I don’t think that’s true, because, pre-bot-farming, when the user base started growing with the Reddit debacle, the proportion of active users increased accordingly. I assume that’s because new users are excited to help grow the community.

Still, in the past two days alone active users went up by over 5k (15%). Maybe that’ll continue exponentially, and there’ll be 95k (500k total non-bot) users two weeks from now, or maybe it’ll continue linearly and there’ll be 70k (~385k) users.

I don’t know why I spent so long thinking about this.
