It's in the static github release files here: https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/releases/tag/v0.10.1

I just asked it with Gemini; at first, it got it right. Then I asked if it was sure and it apologised and said 3 is the correct answer. When asked what are the 3 "e"s, it says:

> The three "e"s in "egregious" are: > > 1. The first "e" is located in the first syllable, between the "g" and the "g". > 2. The second "e" is located in the second syllable, following the "r". > 3. The third "e" is located in the third syllable, following the "i" and before the last "o".

That's rich coming from these evil people:

> On 7 November 2023, an AFP investigation revealed in multiple leaked documents that McKinsey was using its position as the primary advisor to COP28 hosts, the United Arab Emirates, to push the interest of its oil and gas clients (ExxonMobil and Aramco). McKinsey has been accused of putting its own interests ahead of the climate by sources involved in preparatory meetings for COP28. McKinsey's energy scenario for the COP28 presidency would allow for continued investment in fossil fuels, which would undermine the goals of the Paris Agreement; an "energy transition narrative" recommends oil use to be reduced by only 50% by 2050, and that trillions of dollars should continue to be invested in high-emission assets each year to at least 2050.

I always ask LLMs this:

> If I initially set a timer for 45 minutes but decided to make the total timer time 60 minutes when there's 5 minutes left in the initial 45, how much should I add to make it 60?

And they never get it correct.

> China is a latecomer to the project.

I remember reading somewhere that the project only became feasible because China came up with way to save on the construction costs of the telescopes (or something like that).

To me it feels like the Raspberry Pi Foundation hasn't met its objective of making computers accessible and affordable to everyone (especially children in disadvantaged areas). Each iteration is so expensive and previous iterations don't lose value or are made cheaper. It's more prudent to spend a bit more for a mini-pc. In South Africa, the average child from a disadvantaged background has no chance of buying a Pi.

Arduino on the other hand, open sources the hardware, meaning very cheap but less powerful SBCs from companies in China (and elsewhere).

They should be doing the same as they have the ecosystem and resources to mass produce very cheap boards, but the Pi is prohibitively expensive, and it looks like they cater to companies first and prioritise making a profit.

The one in Simon's Town, South Africa, is supposedly the oldest one built in 1795.

Why do people have such strong opinions against snaps? I've been using it for the better part of a year and don't mind it at all. I don't understand why linux people are so strongly opinionated on things like this, it's a packaging system not a sports team. This aversion is really weird to see.

Snaps allow for the base system to be stable while having the latest version of an application in a sandbox.

The voices are quite realistic but it fails in what says it can do:

> ... all while automatically matching what is being said with how it’s being said.

It doesn't do intonation correctly.

You're right, I can't seem to find it either.

Tangentially, how much other research gets lost in the ether because it wasn't as interesting as this.

It is essentially that now isn't it? Germany has failed to see past their own atrocities and now fail to call out Apartheid Israel in their genocide in Palestine.

25 000+ people have been killed in Gaza, the majority women and children. That is 1% of the population, or in American terms 3 million people killed in 3 months.

The Hamas rhetoric is a lazy excuse for their atrocities. Hamas didn't make them bomb indiscriminately. In fact, they even mistakenly killed their own hostages. This shows they don't care for any life in Gaza. They just want to depopulate Gaza through genocide or ethnic cleansing. Hamas wouldn't exist same as uMkhonto we Sizwe doesn't exist since Apartheid in South Africa was abolished.

The US will do anything to intensify their military industrial complex. I don't believe this like I didn't believe their lies in Iraq. They saw that there's no money in Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, but there is in Ukraine and now in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Agree 100%. Wind turbines killing birds is a disingenuous argument when it comes to climate change.

> Birds of prey in Africa experiencing population collapse, study finds > new research used road surveys to find that nearly 90% of the 42 raptor species studied had experienced declines, with more than two-thirds showing evidence of being globally threatened.

I've asked this before but why is this legally allowed or enforced? How is a hash of something equal to being the thing? Do copyright laws have specific sub-laws when it comes to digital media?

DMCA seems more like a hammer abused by corporations. It seems like laws are written solely for corporations.

Climate Town has a relevant video discussing this:

In my ignorance I assumed the blades would be wooden since that has a lifespan and needs to be replaced.

A steel base would last for all eternity, so what's the point of a wooden base? Wind turbines offset the carbon emissions in the span of a year.

I have to ask here too. It definitely doesn't imply "US workers from 50 countries". Your change swaps "banned" around. Same difference.

I have to ask, how on earth is it ambiguous? The word "banned" has been swapped around. Same difference.

This article is just reporting on these findings:

I don't know why you would seemingly discredit the messenger but eschew from the main point that Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate.

I'm on the Ubuntu Firefox snap, and it definitely doesn't take 5 minutes to load. Create a new profile and see if that helps, but it shouldn't take that long.

Israel is an Apartheid State long before killing 20 000 people in the past 2 months. Israel will never get the peace they seek with the oppression they inflict.

* Illegal Settlers living in Palestine can vote in Israel but not Palestinians; Israeli settlers all the rights of being a citizen of Apartheid Israel while the Palestinian neighbour doesn't have any. Apartheid South Africa did the same, they put the people in their own "country" and so couldn't vote. Israel doesn't want 2 states as that would mean millions more voting.

* There were 5,248,185 Palestinian refugees neighbouring countries in 2020; that's equal to half the population of Israel. Israel is committing genocide in trying to ethnically cleanse the land.

* Israel has ethnically cleansed and fragmented areas into [isolated cantons divided by Israeli settlements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_enclaves), and implemented [lebensraum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum) tactics. This was called [Bantustans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantustan) in South Africa.

* The Apartheid Separation wall - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d0/73/81/d07381fffef632350bcb...

* The settlers killing in the West Bank, and burning homes to get rid of people and destroying olive tree groves.

* They control the water completely - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in...

* They get 12 hours of electricity a day - https://www.ochaopt.org/page/gaza-strip-electricity-supply

* Palestinians didn't have 3G until 2018, their access is also spied on and restricted.

* Segregated road system - https://s3.amazonaws.com/VP2/visuals/en/4db97391fe7cb2462249...

* 50% of Palestinians are children.

As someone from South Africa, I've seen ethnic cleansing and Israel is doing worse. Israel is absolutely an Apartheid state. Various human rights organisations have already stated this.

Not to mention the Israeli government's rhetoric of calling Palestinians rats and that their lives are less important than an Israeli's. Hamas wouldn't exist if not for Apartheid Israel's actions, in the same way uMkhonto we Sizwe doesn't exist now that Apartheid has been disbanded in South Africa.

And it seems in the comments here and elsewhere on the interent, Zionism is conflated with antisemitism. Zionism is extreme nationalism (at the expense of innocent Palestinians), not anti-Jew.

Try Bypass Paywalls Clean on Firefox. It works perfectly for me on most news sites.

People support Palestinians' right to self-determination, and not being genocided by apartheid Israel. They don't support Hamas. This conflation is all too common and convenient.

I use uBlock or Tridactyl (vim bindings for Firefox) to zap things like that temporarily.

This can't be healthy, can it? Plants give trace minerals, vitamins necessary for life. Not to mention the high-cholesterol and high-blood pressure cauding diseases of the heart by eating a meat-only diet. It's good to cut down on carbs but this seems extreme.

This is really well done. And it works well in Firefox too

> And my native friends where I live couldn’t care less :(

Well, I wouldn't care for the history of a long dead civilisation either if my own civilisation and culture has been destroyed in the last half millennium by invaders. There are less than 4 million people in 2023.

And America will preserve its history but I don't think it will be seen in a positive light to be enjoyed.

The grey roads aren't good on the eyes, and it needs better contrast. They come out with design schemes but fail when they need to deliver it themselves.

I don't even bother with Google Maps any more. It shows miles on many dialogues when my locale (South Africa) only uses kilometres. Also, I don't know what preference they give to nearby POIs, but it's mostly useless (or random).

Install one of the OpenStreetMaps-based apps like Magic Earth or OSMAnd with offline maps and customisability, and it works well enough.

I just tried asking it a question:

> User: What is the third planet from the sun?

> Llama: The third planet from the sun is called Mars.
