Signal is fine for almost everyone unless you're truly doing dangerous work in a truly oppressive state.

I'm so tired of everyone telling others not to use signal because it uses phone numbers. Everyone in here acting like they're mr. Robot or something.

Anonymity is not the same as privacy. Privacy is good enough for me

New text to speech models are incredible these days...

Again, we shouldnt replace actual voice actors for main dialog. But for generating thousands of lines of background chatter (which nobody would have time or resources to make anyway) LLM writing paired with text to speech could really help flesh out a living game world

I dont think LLMs will or should replace properly written dialogue.

Where they would shine is just generating inane background chatter. So instead of hearing an NPC say "i took an arrow to the knee", or "jesus christ be praised! Henry's come to see us!" 300 times, an LLM could generate some short one liners that are a bit more dynamic. It would go a long way to making the world feel more alive.

Newer versions of apt now have coloured text showing what will be installed (green) and what will be REMOVED (red)

Handy feature for someone like me who also makes mistakes

Not excusing the behaviour but I'd bet it's the amount of traffic people ~~often sit through~~ directly contribute to

You're not stuck in traffic... You are the traffic

The continental rubber on adidas shoes lasts forever....

The rubber on their top end shoes like takumi sen and pro 3 is only 1-2mm thick but i've hit 800-900km in them

Also i'm a pretty light person so i dont wear out the foam much

AI is fine if you know what you're doing and can correct the mistakes it makes (i.e. use it as fancy code completion)

I'm not a developer and i havent touched code for over 10 yrs, but when i heard about my company pushing AI tools on the devs, i thought exactly what you said. It should be a tool for experienced devs who already know what they're doing....

Lo and behold they did the opposite... They fired all the senior people and pushed AI on the interns and new grads.... and then expected AI to suddenly make the jr devs work like the expensive Sr devs they just fired...

Wtf

this is always a fun one for me because i see it in person every year. circuit races are great for the spectators

i joined the recon rides with some of the pro teams this afternoon.. it's insane how much stronger these guys are than your average club rider. these guys were laughing and chatting up the climb and i was doing almost my max 5min effort (~4.65W/kg) just to hang in with the group.

also, i followed mohoric on a descent! even the non-mohoric riders have such amazing descending skills.... on a short descent that i know quite well, i lost over 10 seconds gap to some AG2R riders

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

 

I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

Current PR is 3:20

Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?

 

i guess i just experienced one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse that people have been talking about. instance suddenly disappeared with no warning. i guess i've lost my follow list

 

gensler is one of us! confirmed btc maxi

 

EDIT: if you're going to downvote the post, please comment and say why.... i'm happy to learn what kind of content is not welcome here. this is a very new community that's a bit dead and lacking content. so it's not really helpful to just downvote things without saying why at this early stage

full text from the bird site thread:

Remco Evenepoel is seeking to leave Soudal-QuickStep, various close sources have informed RadioCycling, with the world champion unhappy about the team’s future direction and doubting if they can support his ambitions, such as winning the Tour de France in 2024.

We understand that Evenepoel’s camp have contacted a number of teams after concerns over QuickStep’s finances. Evenepoel also doesn’t believe his wage compares with that of his peers. It's thought he earns no more than €4m after bonuses, compared to Pogačar’s reported €7m.

One close source to Evenepoel said: “It will all come down to money… and his current contract underpays him. Patrick Lefevere needs to adapt his contract or risk conflict.”

Evenepoel has a contract until the end of 2026 and we understand there are no breakout clauses.

Ineos Grenadiers are the clear favourites to sign Evenepoel and met with his representatives last autumn. But RadioCycling understands that Israel-PremierTech are also a genuine possibility, with Evenepoel’s camp having very close relationships with Israel staff members

Despite rumours linking both Lidl-Trek and Bora-hansgrohe to Evenepoel, senior sources at both teams said they haven’t opened up discussions with the 23-year-old. Multiple sources have confirmed that any transfer would be a “package deal” involving Specialized.

Signing Evenepoel, however, is not easy. Despite reports to the contrary, sources have confirmed that all outstanding bonuses have been paid, therefore there is no contract breach. Patrick Lefevere told RadioCycling: “I don’t owe €1 to anybody. Everything is paid.”

That means the only possibility for Evenepoel departing is if someone buys out his remaining contract, something that is likely to cost in excess of €10m. Lefevere insists that he won't sell.

He also rubbished claims Ineos owner Jim Ratcliffe could buy QuickStep’s licence.

just some rumour fodder to fill some time on TdF rest day

seems bonkers insane that IPT is in the conversation, given that sylvan adams is already regretting setting a pile of cash on fire with froomey

 

Everyone is getting jerked around by IBM and now Oracle adding to the drama

Meanwhile my servers are stable and debian development keeps quietly chugging along with minimal noise

Just wanted to say how much i love the debian project and all the contributors

People should recommend debian more

 

i installed debian with KDE for a friend years ago... is there a way to upgrade to bookworm using the "discover" GUI? or are they going to have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list?

not they they are incapable of doing something simple like this, but just wondering if there is a GUI method to do a full version upgrade

thanks

We took away two important descending tools from the riders

  1. Supertuck
  2. Fake aero bars/puppy paws (i hate that term, carlton)

Do you think that riders would take less risk on turns if they could still do supertuck? Or would riders supertuck AND take big risks on hairpins?

Not blaming Mader or saying he took risks. But the incident made me think about risk management
