Yes, it resets once motion is stopped. It’s one of those things where without comments in the code or something you could also assume forgetting to check one of the bounds just happened to work fine.

Can’t tell if lazy programming or just figuring it will fix itself. In theory there would be a point of overflow maybe? Well, I guess that also fixes itself.

Everything is through OneDrive. Even stuff that doesn’t need to be. Desktop shortcuts…really?

Also - I hate Teams, refuse to use it. The one time I did use it for some irrelevant confirmation message, it stuck and now not only does it load every time I log on (to get closed immediately), it also has the history of that one message. That I’ve tried to delete, and it keeps coming back.

He’s got a good point, and it’s true for anything. If you try to adapt or cover up an issue, that doesn’t fix or address the problems, and it encourages more problems in the future to deal with (that will probably multiply into more) because you always take care of it. Throw it back at them explaining they have to meet the same standards that everyone does, and it’s not your problem anymore.

They actually took it from Reagan. But you could still maintain the same arguments, even though the times were a bit different. The “Again” is always a bit of a questionable part. “Make America Better” isn’t as aggressive in the goal, but it’s more honest and broad in who and what it’s referring to. I’d rather have some solid ideas than a slogan, any day.

The breaking down I mentioned is the quantization that forms a smaller model from the larger one. I didn’t want to get technical because I don’t understand the math details myself past how to use them. :)

I did make a backup. Then I put it on that other computer. That’s also blue screen.

Post-It security is best security.

The AI, image, and audio models that can run on a typical PC have all been broken down from originally larger models. How this is done affects what the models can do and the quality, but the open source community has come a long way in making impressive stuff. First question is more hardware - do you have an Nvidia GPU that can support these types of generations? They can be done through CPU alone, but it’s painfully much slower.

If so, then I would highly recommend looking into Ollama for running AI models (using WSL if you’re using Windows) and ComfyUI for graphical generation. Don’t let the workflow of complicated ComfyUI scare you, starting from the basics with plenty of Youtube help out there it will make sense. As for TTS, there’s a lot of constant “new stuff” out there, but for actual local processing in “real time” (still takes a bit) I have yet to find anything to replace my Coqui TTS copy with Jenny as the model voice. It may take some digging and work to get that together, it’s older and not supported anymore.

I don’t think it’s that uncommon an opinion. An even simpler version is the constant repeats over years now of information breaches, often because of inferior protect. As a amateur website creator decades ago I learned that plain text passwords was a big no-no, so how are corporation ITs still doing it? Even the non-tech person on the street rolls their eyes at such news, and yet it continues. CrowdStrike is just a more complicated version of the same thing.

Seems okay.

He picks the outcome that’s the simplest to explain. But you could explain it as a sadistic goal, because look at what second Thanos wanted to do upon learning the universe didn’t appreciate him the first time. Kill it all.

Neither addresses the problem, they just both push it into the future. Half the population/double the resources isn’t even a reasonable amount to give much more time. It’s better for drama though, because disappearing 99% or more of the universe would have really set back the Avengers, if any of them made the cut at all.

Or the frame quality drops, and we’re all Jerry. “My man!”

Yes, there is a low unemployment number. As with the rest, you haven’t validated that it’s a good measure of the current state of things. It’s arguably never been.

Yes, definitely increased some. Where’s the rest of the data, such as part time or unemployed, or even population growth? Like I said, a single number means not so much without context. But it’s an impressive graph.

Curious what shift there has been in full time/part time numbers. Full time wages going up is great for those who are experiencing it, but if there are less actual full timers, is that an improvement?

The art of a good statistician is to make sure what their numbers are saying is an actual reflection of reality. I’m not saying this graph is falsified, I don’t know. But numbers can be made to say anything. I learned this years ago in arguments about what “unemployment” meant. It’s much more complex than a single number, but a single number is used in the media because it’s easier to paint the picture wanted.

Usenet. Go back to the base level.

I’ve come to the conclusion that all these breach notices and the free stuff they offer for X months is a huge scam to get you sign up up for something. Either that, or every company has woefully underpaid/incompetent IT people. I’m waiting for the next news story to break on another company that somehow got passwords or identity info hacked that was stored in plain text…something I learned how to not do back in the 90s with basic HTML and PHP.

In short - I don’t believe them. They all are using the same form letters, it’s a scheme that they’re all in on.

The issue isn’t the prices. It’s that the prices go up but income doesn’t. Get out the pitchforks, but let’s go after the real villains.
