I'd think the usual trusted sources for an authentic one - digikey, mouser, sparkfun.

Amazon, ebay, and similar others for the (cheaper) counterfeits.

What are you basing this off of? Do you actually have any experience making art? Or is this just learned helplessness talking?

Also please stop implying I said any 12 year old can do this. I didn't. Once again, I said anyone who puts in the time can do what 12-year old Michelangelo did.

I didn't say anyone can become Michelangelo. I said anyone can do this level of work.

That is, the exact same thing he did when he was 12, which is a master study. He didn't create the design - he copied a previous work and added color to find out what Schongauer's thought process was when making the original piece.

It's impressive that he did it at 12, but like you said, he had years of focused practice under his belt before he did this one. Anyone can do this level of work - they just need to actually learn it. It doesn't require someone be born with talent.

Articles like this contribute towards the gatekeeping feeling people get about the arts in my opinion.

It’s hard to prove without knowing the app devs, but for points 1 & maybe 2, we can look at whether Americans think the raids are justified.

28% of them think they are [0]. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that the devs would be part of that number

Edit: it looks like the poll it’s for the recent incident of the woman who was shot - my mistake. Then I would assume the number for the raids themselves is higher

Google and Verizon were under fire recently from the DOJ for not complying with the govt's anti-DEI stance quickly enough[0]. If these policies truly aren't in the companies best interests, they would've dropped the policies on Jan 20th. Instead, they chose to continue them. I don't see how this squares with your assertion that they don't want to continue following DEI in staffing.

Wasn’t aware about charge notifications. Looks like my bank supports that - thanks for the info!

> So I have to run a ULA in parallel to the publicly accessible networks specifically for internal routing, and then use a DNS server to try and correct it. Which works great! ...except when you run into this little niche operating system called Android. Which by default doesn't obey a network provided DNS server if you've got privacy DNS enabled. So if I've got guests over and I want them on a network in my place to access some sort of internal resource, then I've got to walk them through disabling privacy DNS.

This also sounds like it would be a problem for v4? I'm not clear on how this is a v6 problem. If I'm picturing it correctly, it's a difference of handing the guests a local v4 address vs disabling privacy DNS and handing them a DNS name. I'd think the latter would be easier

Using a public domain for TLS certs for private networking is pretty standard in /r/selfhosted and /r/homelab at least.

Fair point on ISPs handing out /64 prefixes, but this is the first I've heard of them varying the prefix length once you know what you've got. I don't doubt it though

Not sure why you're insinuating that I dislike apple products. My personal mb air doesn't have this issue and most of my household is on apple.

I'm also seeing results for "macbook pro doesn't go to sleep when lid closed", so other people see this problem too. You can't really claim that other platforms have them beat here if there isn't data to support the claim.

That's funny - my work MBP won't go to sleep properly, lol. Often come back to work after the weekend to find a dead laptop.

Sure - there are some good examples in the product pictures for this book: https://www.amazon.com/hands-Takami-Kagami-teaches-power/dp/...

I don't mind paying for one, though I do remember trying DEEPL without much success. Can't remember the problem offhand, but one of the services I tried just gave me a generic error when I uploaded the PDF. My view at the time was that it had a conniption and just gave up.

Wonder if Word uses the same system Edge has. I remember Edge was also good, but like Chrome's Lens, I'd need to highlight sections for it to get translated. Edge also OCR'd everything very well - just didn't do the translation part automatically.

This might be a good place to check the options available for OCR in-place translations. I took a look at OCR3, but it doesn't seem to support my use-case. It looks more tailored towards data extraction for further processing.

I've got some foreign artbooks that I would like to get translated. The translations would need to be in place since the placement of the text relative to the pictures around it is fairly important. I took a look at some paid options online, but they seemed to choke - mostly because of the non-standard text placements and all.

The best solution I could come up with is using Google Lens to overlay a translation while I go through the books, but holding a camera/tablet up to my screen isn't very comfortable. Chrome has Lens built in, but (IIRC) I still need to manually select sections for it to translate - it's not as easy to use as just holding my phone up.

Anyone know of any progress towards in-place OCR/translations?

We're actually in a unique situation where the planning+buying isn't the hard part, but the deciding is. We're within walking distance of a super-cheap grocery store and I'm able to cook a wide variety of dishes - many of which I can make quickly. The hard part is my wife doesn't do well with open-ended questions like "what would you like to eat"? Seeing a discrete list of things I can make and her just picking/submitting the options would solve the problem.

Though that only holds while we have free time. If we have a kid, then I can see a great amount of value in that app.

Very cool concept - thank you for sharing it! I think would be a great solution to the near-daily "what should we eat" problem.

If I could make a (not-important) suggestion, I think being able to re-arrange / categorize menu items would be useful. Something that lets you group together drinks apart from snacks as an example.

Going by what my accounting buddy says - everyone in accounting in the US.

Makes sense. I didn't know if the FS used RAM for this purpose without some specialized software. PikachuEXE and Mewse mentioned ZFS. Looks like it has native support for caching frequent reads [0]. Good to know

Q - assuming the NAS was strictly used as NAS and not as a server with VMs, is there a point in having a large amount of RAM? (large as in >8GB)

I'm not sure what the benefit would be since all it's doing is moving information from the drives over to the network.

Most of what I learned in college was only because I did homework and struggled to figure it out myself. Classroom time was essentially just a heads up to what I'll actually be learning myself later.

Granted, this was much less the case in grade school - but if students are going to see homework for the first time in college, I can see problems coming up.

If you got rid of homework throughout all of the "standard" education path (grade school + undergrad), I would bet a lot of money that I'd be much dumber for it.

We had similar childhoods - though I did phpBB. Never had an audience for the forum, but it was cool just having and styling it. Good times.

It's got the same vibe as going into a circle of people having fun and telling them they're trying too hard. What's the effect you're going for?

You're not being stopped from having an opinion - your comment is visible - but sharing one that'll only serve to bring down people's moods makes everything a little bit worse I think.

So there aren't any stats for illegal immigrants voting then I take it.

I would expect they don't check for citizenship when becoming a police officer. I do expect them to check when a voter is registered. Frankly, given the amount of hubbub about illegals voting, I would expect there to at least be a notable amount of it happening that can be pointed to.

Please do not make these sorts of claims based on vibes. They have wider consequences on the amount of hate towards foreigners - illegal or not - that is completely undeserved.

Are you claiming that the detainees - assumedly primarily illegal immigrants - are taking part in the voting process and that's why the governor is "grandstanding"?

That's the story I hear from certain folks and as far as I can tell, it has no merit. I'd be interested in any actual stats here.

Exciting! I've been out of the field for a while - thank you for what'll be some interesting reading

Is (like the article said) this information really not taught in electronics curriculum anymore? It's been a while since I was in school, but this was all covered in my undergrad EE 2XX/3XX classes. Do modern designs use fewer diodes and more ICs in their place?

I appreciate the links. Though I think OP got some wires crossed mentioning that Fox was reporting the SNAP->Drugs conversion - since that video with the Fox reporter came from Tiktok. Though they did end up incidentally reporting other fake AI videos as real, so... yea.

Regarding your second link - it's pretty surreal to see. Reminiscent of "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy".

I didn't find the specific article you're referencing, but I did find this[0] "SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown" with the usual conservative-created strawmen about poor people getting mad that the government's not taking care of their kids and quoting stereotypical ebonics.

You can see the effect is has on their base here[1]. It looks like they changed it sometime to say "AI videos of SNAP beneficiaries complaining about cuts go viral"[2] with a small note at the end saying they didn't mention it was AI. This is truly disgusting.

No arguments from me there

If you know people affected, then you have more information than me and I'm not going to pretend like I have a better grasp on the situation than you.

However, the "last resort" comment I made was a guess to their reasoning - it wasn't an authoritative explanation. My core point is that Amazon seems to think they can do the same, or about the same, or an acceptable amount less with fewer people. If that's the case, then from their perspective, they're overpaying on labor. That's it.
