Je suis en Ontario, même constat. Quand je vois le genre de scolarité que mes enfants ont comparé à la France, ben je suis bien content d’être ici. En France tout est élitiste, tout est fait pour les “meilleurs” et on laisse tomber les autres, alors qu’ici c’est pas du tout comme ça et même les élèves qui ont des difficultés d’apprentissage arrivent à réussir car on leur accorde de l’aide et des moyens supplémentaires. Au final, les enfants peuvent s’épanouir et ne se sentent pas punis en permanence. Les horaires plus légers aident bien aussi, c’est barge à quel point en France les gamins suivent le même rythme que des adultes qui bossent à l’usine !

My uncle was forced to write with his right hand for the same stupid reason. Stupid catholics.

I’ve been using the OpenVINO plugins for a few weeks and it’s genuinely impressive. Noise cancelling is one thing, but the transcription tool is amazing. I can create subtitles from conference recordings in minutes and create transcripts of recorded zoom calls, etc. and it does it for multiple languages.

That’s the kind of shit I like using AI for.

AMD keeps the same sockets for ages. I was able to upgrade a 5 year old Ryzen 5 2600G to a 5600G last month. Can’t do that with Intel in general.

Japan has been living in the year 2000 for 40 years

All the ones I’ve used so far are able to use the GPU but it has to be enabled in the app settings. I mostly use LM Studio and it flies on my nvidia 3060. Doesn’t seem to have options for AMD GPUs though, unless I’m mistaken.

Switzerland is very mountainous and has pretty fast trains too, although not Shinkansen-fast. Swiss trains are expensive and comfortable and the vista is pretty much always great.

Yes, in factories where the tools are programmed to do a job like tightening the bolts for an airplane plug door or your car engine head. The quality assurance gains are enormous (the tool does the job and logs it).

Problems occur when the customer cuts IT security costs or tampers with the tools to increase production rates.

The tools are connected to a central database that logs all operations, it’s super useful. All the difference between Boeing that uses old style pneumatic guns and manual torque wrenches vs. Airbus using fully connected/automated wrenches that not only tighten bolts to the right torque every single time but also keeps track of how many bolts have been tightened. Such tools should be airgapped from the internet but obviously someone messed up on that part. Could be cost-cutting.

My friend who works designing such tools says production stuff should never be connected to the internet for obvious reasons. Someone fucked up.

Mill St brewery was bought by Molson (or other industrial piss maker) a few years back. Total boycott on my part.

50 Gen here I saw them live.

Outages I guess…

Scaramanga, is that you?

It’s technically illegal to consume alcohol in your own backyard if you can be seen from the outside.

Weed, beer, sex, camping, reading. Not necessarily in that order.

Trying Summit for the first time, it’s really good! Multiple accounts, good UI reminding me of RiF and hasn’t crashed yet. I find Jerboa clunky.

Connect is my other fave.
