Gemini Ultra will, in developer mode, have 1 million token context length so that would fit a medium book at least. No word on what it will support in production mode though.

What an amateurish way to try and make GPT-4 behave like you want it to.

And what a load of bullshit to first say it should be truthful and then preload falsehoods as the truth...

Disgusting stuff.

Since I'm not American I keep forgetting about your for profit churches. The concept is just too foreign to me. When I think church I think of 300 year old cold stone building in the countryside.

Still there are homeless that would refuse, some from not believing or trusting you, some from not wanting to relocate even if it means that level of comfort, some from being deep into addiction thinking that they'll be forced to get clean. And some will take you up on it and just absolutely trash the place trying to steal anything not bolted down.

That said the vast majority would for sure jump on it and thrive. So if it was at all possible to make happen it would be a good idea.

Hmm:

"Does not support desktop and mobile application connections, only supports use on browsers"

Regarding Docker deployment. It's unclear if the application package for Linux supports usage together with the apps because that is a needed feature for me, to have everything centrally stored but easily edited via phone, and from experience the browser experience tends to be rather miserable.

I'll for sure test it out when I have the time though, looks pretty feature complete if a bit overboard for just note-taking. This is not OneNote, this is more like Confluence.

My dream is something that can handle both seamlessly, I want to both take quick notes and have them easily searchable and indexed automatically while also supporting structuring knowledge in pages and sub-pages with rich content support.

On that I agree 100%

Most homeless are in the big cities, most churches are out in the boonies. The homeless are very unlikely to accept being bussed to a flyover state to sleep in a church in bumfuck nowhere. For a myriad of reasons.

Keep in mind also that a lot of them have a very hard time accepting any help due to past trauma as well.

It's not a situation with a quick fix. Really the first step isn't even ensuring housing for the homeless, it's making sure we don't get more homeless. We likely can't save a subset of today's homeless because they don't want/or won't accept any help that comes with any strings (like no drugs or just they can't trash the place). But we can ensure no-one else ends up on the streets by beefing up mental healthcare and social services.

ninjan , 2 months ago to Technology in Steam is a ticking time bomb

I don't know why the article doesn't bring up Valve being the company to bring loot boxes and that business model to gaming as the prime example. Valve earns extreme money from the skins market and gambling in CSGO / CS2 since they sell the keys and take a cut of trades as well. They're far more concerned with money than actually caring for the people involved. Gambling ruins lives and Valve is the gambling company that faces by far the least vitriol in that horrendous crowd.

Dead accurate meme.

My protip if you really can't bother with all that and just want to do expensive Legos is to go to an active forum for PCs where you can simply ask for a recommendation for a build.

What you need to supply is a budget example and what it needs to cover. I.e. if screen needs to be part of it or if you have one. If you do the resolution and refresh rate is good input (or just make and model which is printed on it). Finally you need an idea of what games you'll play. With that a mini war will erupt between AMD and Intel and AMD and Nvidia around what would be the best build for the budget.

Keep in mind to pick a forum based in the same country as you, else the recommendations might not at all fit your budget due to local price variance.

Hell you could probably make do without a budget if you say you're unsure how much is reasonable to spend to play the games you wish to play and you'll get recommendations to that effect as well.

Ah, right, read to fast it seems! Though that still leaves the possibility of software firewalls, but any OOTB ones wouldn't be doing any packet inspection.

Do you have a firewall? Packet inspection in particular can wreak havoc on speeds.

Windows can't be Christianity, it's not fragmented enough. It's either Scientology because it's tightly controlled and without meaningful denominations. Or Buddhism from a very western point of view (i.e. oblivious to the denominations and local variations).

Tell them to move to yubikey or similar hardware key which is far more secure than any password policy will ever be and vastly more user friendly. Only downside is the intense shame if you manage to lose it.

The key should stick with the user thus not be stored with the computer when not in use. The key isn't harmless of course but it takes a very deliberate targeting and advance knowledge about what it goes to and how it can be used. It's also easy to remote revoke. If you're extra special paranoid you could of course store the key locked at a separate site if you want nuclear codes levels of security.

I'll add to the group saying things got better by 30. In my case having kids has helped me get my shit together and take better care of myself both physically and mentally.

No the joke is that this is that sassy but supporting friend saying it. It's a reality check and an opportunity to ask for help from the friend saying it.

Works pretty well in Chrome in my experience. At least on iPad.

EDIT: though to be fair I mainly use it to cast.
