Electric car salesman praises party that is against electric cars

I couldn't agree more. I use Bandcamp a lot to buy and download music in the form of DRM-free, lossless files, and GOG to buy and download DRM-free games. I wish this model was more widespread, and available for other types of media, movies and shows in particular.

Often the problem is misrepresented as "streaming vs. physical media", wrongly implying that streaming is the only means of purely digital distribution. However, it is actually a question of whether you actually own media vs. only renting them.

That's not what I meant. I meant just using the keyboard part as a keyboard, out of the box, without the need to tinker with the pi's software and/or hardware.

Unfortunately, it seems it cannot be used just as a keyboard for other devices.

I have a similar gripe with iMacs and most all-in-one PCs that they cannot be used as a monitor for other devices. Once the PC/Mac inside becomes obsolete, the whole device becomes useless even though it has an excellent display that still works.

This is kind of the keyboard equivalent of this.

How long until these telemarketers start using the same technology? Then we'll have all these AIs talking to each other, a huge waste of resources...

Indeed, in this latest iteration the network learns a model of the game by itself. Note however that it still uses MCTS and performs a look-ahead, i.e. it is still being "told" by the programmers how to do search (planning), only now it is left to the system to determine how it wants to represent states/actions/policies internally.

The non-connectionist, classical, symbolical aspect is not so much "search" per se, but the fact that MCTS performs a form of look-ahead, which requires manually encoding the rules of the game in some fashion.

Determining what the legal moves in a state are, and what state results from a given move, is not something the AI would learn by itself, but is programmed into the system by a human expert.

"Is Syncthing my ideal backup application?

No. Syncthing is not a great backup application because all changes to your files (modifications, deletions, etc.) will be propagated to all your devices. You can enable versioning, but we encourage you to use other tools to keep your data safe from your (or our) mistakes."

So it is double exponential?

Not to mention that the answer by itself is pretty much worthless, but Mathematicians are rather interested in a proof of the conjecture (or its negation).

I get that it is supposed to be a joke, but it kind of falls flat because it misses the point entirely.

One of the reaons the author gives is that they have drafts for unpublished posts, and that it would be too complicated to keep those apart from the public repository (separate repo, git submodule).

Wouldn't it suffice to just have them in a different, private branch? The public stuff would be in the main branch pushed to the public repo, the private stuff would remain local in the private branch?

I'd be interested in this is well, for the simple reason that this would de-clutter my desk when I'm using a desktop PC already and I wouldn't need to switch back and forth between two different keyboards.

It's somewhat similar to some all-in-one PCs where I think they don't look too bad, if only they came with a video input port so that you can use it as a display for other devices, or simply as a monitor should the PC part become obsolete some day.

From what I can gather, this is however not a built-in feature of the Pi 400 and will probably require some tinkering (which might be an interesting project in and of itself).

I also understand that the Raspberry Pi Foundation's goal is to offer this product at a certain price point, and that even though many of the wishes for additional features you can read in the comments here and elsewhere are each not unreasonable by themselves, every part that is added comes at an additional cost, and that they usually decide against it if it's something that is only used by a small fraction of the user base.

That would be an option, too. Can I then set the app to open with the "Files" view by default?

I have been looking for something like this for a long time on iOS. I am not into streaming at all, but I have a large collection of physical media converted into electronic form. (I also very much appreciate your no tracking and analytics policy.)

One feature that I still do miss is to organize or browse my collection on the app by a self-defined folder structure. Most apps offer to sort by artist, album titles, genres etc., but I do not find this sufficient or convenient, especially if your collection is very heterogenous.

For example, I have my pop albums sorted by artist, but my classical music by composer (rather than artists/performer). I also have a large collection of singles which I prefer to have in a separate folder (to not clutter the pop artist directory too much), sorted chronologically. Similarly, I keep compilations in a separate folder, and do not want every artist of a single song in a compilation appear in my overall list, or have all compilations lumped under "Various Artists".

As far as I can see, Decoupled already maintains the files in the user-given folder structure, and technically I can just click on "Files" and then browse through it. Would it be possible however to place this option more prominently on the main screen that is visible when the app opens up? Or even make the options on the main screen user-configurable, similar to how the iOS music player allows enabling and disabling the "Artist", "Genre" etc. entries in the media library?
