Oh yeah, that’s also always nice. I got unholy amounts of non existing/working Parameter Expansions from Various LLMs and it also kept hallucinating ways to “pipe” parameter expansions into each other.

2·2 months agoPersonally I can highly recommend combining emacs orgmode with LaTeX. It gives you the full power of LaTeX, but without having to deal with all of its ins and outs just for basic text formatting.

2·2 months agoI’m not saying there’s nowhere left for tech to improve, especially in the medical and biotech space, but in the consumer market there’s only so much we realistically need. It has been addressed, end of sentence,
Im just gonna leave a few Quotes here:
When we set the upper limit of PC-DOS at 640K, we thought nobody would ever need that much memory.
William Gates, 1985
In 1894, Albert A. Michelson remarked that in physics there were no more fundamental discoveries to be made. Quoting Lord Kelvin, he continued, “An eminent physicist remarked that the future truths of physical science are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals.
Saying that IT (or most big industry in general) has nothing left to do except for selling stupid stuff, just because capitalism requires it is straight up delusional.

4·5 months agoYou sound like you know what you’re talk7ng about. What does the span loss (db/km) actually mean? I am most curious about why its measured in db (I guess it gets done by that to represent the sum of the “intensity” of all waves across different wavelengths that falls of across longer distances). Also how much span loss do they have in this new experiment (if you know something like that)

4·8 months agoIn my experience it varies wildly in how reliable something is and how much work has to be put into it. From all the different kind of stuff I have worked with the most unreliable equipment was usually the new stuff that is packed with all sorts of electronics and sensors. If you have a high quality machine build back in the days of the GDR maintenance is usually not really needed (except lubricating from time to time).
We once had a robot that was so god damn unreliable, that in the end it was a 5 digit number in reparations just to keep it going. Nothing ever worked and the contractor who sold and maintained it was A completely incompetent shithead. In the end we were able to repair most of the stuff ourselves, but we rarely went a single week without someone having to come and fix something. It also exclusively broke down on the weekends or IB The middle of the night, where its extra expensive for someone to come out. Eventually we threw it out and went to a different brand and now everything works like a charm. No random breakdowns in the middle of the night and the whole system us much more refined.

18·10 months agoThey literally just typed
whitedate.net/download-all-users/into the browser and the website willingly gave them a button to download all users.

The advantage of the CLI version of yt-dlp is, that its us absolutely glorious if you have lots of videos you want to download and/or sort (or any other form of further processing) them via scripts. If you only want to download a few videos at a time, it is in fact not that user friendly. What I can also recommend is setting an alias in your shell, so that you don’t have to remember what arguments you have to provide to yt-dlp to download your favourite videos.
