Kazumara,

“Main train line” what is that supposed to mean exactly?

What about Lausanne-Yverdon-Neuchatel-Biel-Solothurn-Olten? What about Basel-Olten-Luzern? What about Zürich-Zug-Bellinzona-Lugano? What about Lausanne-Montreux-Martigny-Sion-Visp-Brig? What about Bern-Thun-Spiez-Visp-Brig? What about Zürich-Pfäffikon-Sargans-Lanquart-Chur?

Basically just look at this interactive map if you want a fuller picture, or at this PDF if you want to see a reduced view about the long distance lines only.

And to everyone saying: “Well obviously it follows the valley!” The Mittelland is not some valley, it’s a plateau between the Alps and the Jura mountain ranges and it contains about 30% of our area. Besides, you should know about the longest railway tunnel in the world, the Gotthard Base Tunnel and about the Lötschberg Base Tunnel and about the Simplon Tunnel. The Swiss rail system doesn’t give up because of some mountains in the way.

Kazumara,

There are two kinds

  • the purely analogue that just connects some of the USB pins to the jack
  • the digital that contain a DAC

Not all phones have the internal wiring from their internal DAC to the USB port to make the analogue type of adapter work, so watch out what you buy, if you follow SomeGuy69’s advice.

Kazumara,

Yeah I only found out when buying my own adapter after getting a used Pixel 6. Luckily saw it in time before ordering, so I thought I’d share it forward.

Kazumara,

That’s exactly why I ended up going the “used Pixel 6 + adapter” route instead :-) Still don’t like scrambling for the adapter while a call is coming in though :D

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

Kazumara,

I generally do mention that I like my Fedora KDE, but I’m a little worried about SELinux. I have had two or three run-ins with it, and I think that would be hard to diagnose for a noob.

Kazumara,

Check that link you posted. It’s only illegal in signatory countries. That’s how international law works. You can call it morally wrong, but if you call it illegal that’s just false unfortunately.

Kazumara,

You don’t use it for the rule-set and allowable moves, but to score board positions.

For a chess computer calculating all possible moves until the end of the game is not possible in the given time, because the number of potential moves grows exponentially with each further move. So you need to look at a few, and try to reject bad ones early, so that you only calculate further along promising paths.

So you need to be able to say what is a better board position and what is a worse one. It’s complex to determine - in general - whether a position is better than another. Of course it is, otherwise everyone would just play the “good” positions, and chess would be boring like solved games e.g. Tic-Tac-Toe.

Now to have your chess computer estimate board positions you can construct tons of rules and heuristics with expert knowledge to hopefully assign sensible values to positions. People do this. But you can also hope that there is some machine learnable patterns in the data that you can discover by feeding historical games and the information on who won into an ML model. People do this too. I think both are fair approaches in this instance.

Kazumara,

All possible moves one step from a given position sure.

But if you then take all possible resulting positions and calculate all moves from there, and then take all possible resulting positions after that second move and calculate all possible third moves from there, and so on, then the possibilities explode so much in number that you can’t calculate them anymore. That’s the exponential part I was refering to.

You can try and estimate them roughly, let’s say you’re somewhere in the middle of the game, there are 12 units of each side still alive. About half are pawns so we take 1.2 possible moves for them, for the others, well let’s say around 8, thats a bit much for horses and the king on average, but probably a bit low for other units. So 6 times 8 and 6 times 1.2, lets call it 55 possibilities. So the first move there are 55 possible positions, for the second you have to consider all of them and their new possibilitues so there are 55 times 55 or 3025, for the third thats 166375, then 9.15 million, 500 million, 27.6 billion, 1.5 trillion etc. That last one was only 7 moves in the future. Most games won’t be finished by then from a given position, so you either need a scoring function or you’re running out of time.

Kazumara,

No, they can’t

Kazumara,

Yes, sure, but norimee is right, they can’t arrest you. If they do arrest you for it, it’s false improsinment and they’ll get arrested instead.

Kazumara, (edited )

I’m not sure we’re thinking of the same hypothetical here…

I’m saying if you bring chicken to the cinema, and the staff (citizens) arrest you for it, they are beyond wrong. Because it’s oviously not illegal to bring chicken to the cinema, only against policy and therefore it would be false imprisonment.

All they can really do is ask you to leave, and if you don’t they can call the police, or maybe, depending on the law in that jurisdiction, they could then legally detain you for said trespassing. But certainly not for breaking their policy in the first place.

Kazumara,

I think those are two entirely different days, and the second day the friendly neighborhood field office agents brought the printout of the first day with them to confront CoreyPilat over his vague threat towards federal officers.

So the remote being on his kitchen countertop is just random coincidence and does not figure into the continuity between the two posts.

Kazumara,

To me it reads like the author forgot there were depressants and stimulants that are not controlled. But I wouldn’t take that as a sign that the sentence only applies to the subset of controlled depressants or stimulants.

Kazumara,

Worst case the new owner employ Jones afterwards

Kazumara,

The Last of Us Part I released last year in March. Part II isn’t out yet.

Kazumara,

No sympathy for monarchs.

Kazumara,

A language for noobs

That assertion surprises me; I find C easier to use than Rust.

Kazumara,

Bring back skins in applications.

I love the Cristal Disk Mark / Info applications for this. Some cool Japanese guy, going by hiyohiyo, develops them as free software. And he is not afraid to make editions decorated with presumably his favourite Anime girls

Kazumara,

You propose an interesting approach. I just wonder how the individual streaks of different rust interact with typical graphics pipelines. You can certainly ship a generator, but then for rasterizing the image the texture still has to be generated and shipped off to GPU memory to be used in shaders, won’t you blow through VRAM limits or shader cache limits by having no texture reuse anywhere?

Kazumara,

Any game with texture pop-in is already handling more data than you have space.

Sure but that doesn’t look great already and is the case even before the additional pressure

Kazumara,

What is stopping Sony from discontinuing matchmaking down the line after forcing a psn account

That’s definitly unfair when companies stop supporting multiplayer without even allowing community servers. And I could see Sony pulling shit like that.

But don’t you think matchmaking already depends on Sony, regardless of this PSN account question?

Kazumara,

Unfortunately the article of the post directly contradicts your point about ZLUDA improving:

ZLUDA appears to be floundering now, with both AMD and Intel having passed on the opportunity to develop it further

Following the links and searching around, I found this: Andrzej “vosen” Janik, the lead dev, says in his FAQ:

What’s the future of the project?
With neither Intel nor AMD interested, we’ve run out of GPU companies. I’m open though to any offers of that could move the project forward. Realistically, it’s now abandoned and will only possibly receive updates to run workloads I am personally interested in (DLSS).

Kazumara,

It’s really just Debian with more packages preinstalled

And a custom kernel with ZFS support

Kazumara,

They both use KVM in the end, so they are both Type 1 hypervisors.

Loading the KVM kernel module turn your kernel into the bare metal hypervisor.

Kazumara,

I’m also using btrfs, but I originally wanted ZFS before seeing that it was only available through FUSE on my distro.

That’s why I even noticed ZFS was one of the features of Proxmox :)

Kazumara,

Netanyahu is one of the focal points of those protests, his opinion on the protests is hardly interesting.

Kazumara,

Fuck I just set up a Windows Server 2022, because Space Engineers Dedicated Server is officially supported under Windows only.
