In Taiwan we just call it 總統府, which translates to “the presidential office”. It’s true that it is a Japanese-colonial-era building, but I only ever heard it referenced in historical context, like in a tour or a textbook.
Fun fact: there are also some Spanish and Dutch buildings remaining in Taiwan. They were the first official colonizers before the Ming-dynasty took over.

Most unique looking celebrities?

I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...

I don’t know if this helps you, but in computer science there’s a dataset called CelebA containing huge amounts of celebrity face photos, original and cropped with some basic attributes annotations, that is used to train various deep learning models.

Hades 2 Early access! Got it as soon as it shadow dropped on Steam.

Even though it’s in early access and the ending won’t be revealed until launch, there’s already so much content I’m having a blast playing it already.

Just word of caution, the game obviously is still incomplete. There are unfinished artwork all around, navigating menus with a controller can be clunky occasionally, and imo the game balance really needs to be tuned. Hence early access for Supergiant to receive player feedback. With so much more game mechanic to choose from compared to the first game, I feel like the boon upgrades are spread a little too thin to boost enough base weapon damage to carry into later regions. Or maybe I’m just bad at the game idk haha.

If you want the complete experience from start to finish, I would recommend you wait, and it’s okay to do so.
But, if you can live with the downsides of early access, and don’t mind spoiling yourself before launch, Hades 2 is a good time now. I’d encourage anyone who are playing it now to actively give feedback to make this the best game on launch!

Apple M3 uses LPDDR5 and have transfer speeds of up to 6400 MT/s while LPDDR5X will have 8533 MT/s. LPCAMM2 is the connector type to replace SO-DIMM slots, it still uses LPDDR chips. According to this article, it would support speeds of up to 9600 MT/s. So unless I’m missing something, shouldn’t speed not be much of a concern? I’m open to corrections.

Anandtech has an article about the M3 and details about it’s memory speed. M3 has 100 GBps, M3 pro 150, and M3 max 400.

So theoretically there’s no stopping laptop manufacturers to have multiple LPCAMM2 slots to achieve such speeds, correct?

I don’t think its fair to call it “padding”. They’re on the same die anyways and share the same memory pool through the same connections, makes sense they all have the same speed. I imagine Intel/AMD CPUs with iGPUs also share memory speeds and are both limited to how many ram channels you have configured. Apple very much could achieve that kind of speed by having more ram channels. Have the ram working in quad-channel mode, and you double the 192 GBps to 384 GBps.

From the article:

Let’s first start by getting the facts out of the way — erasing objects won’t be perfect. In this comparison, we aren’t using the more advanced AI editing tools (Magic Editor for Google phones and Generative Edit for Samsung phones), just the basic object erasers. These tools work best on smaller objects rather than people right next to you or larger objects.

Yeah, to be fair, the naming isn’t great and I can see why people get confused by it. Magic Edit is not Magic Eraser. Magic Edit uses GenAI and gives you multiple options to choose from, while Magic Eraser is not based on GenAI and will only give you the result and no options to choose from.

Rather Chinese nationalism is still very much alive and well in Taiwan

Only a small minority identify themselves as “Chinese not Taiwanese” nowadays. According to the latest public surveys (News article, Survey source, has English in the graphs), only 2.4% think that way (declining), 61% identify as Taiwanese (rising), and 32% as both (declining). And then you compare it to the unify-indipendence survey and see that a combined 60% still prefer the status quo, with independence behind at 25%, and unify at 10%. KMT may still have a large voter base in TW, but Chinese nationalism isn’t the only reason people vote for them. You would want to look at 中華統一促進黨 for true Chinese nationalism and PRC sympathisers.

More or less. Bone conduction headphones still operate by vibrating, and vibration makes sound, no matter how small it is.

They are releasing full episodes onto YouTube. I can see past full episodes of S11 whenever, and they say they plan to upload past seasons as well (announcement video). Maybe it’s a regional restrictions thing that is preventing you to see full episodes.

I think I’ve always been drawn to good human vocals.

I remember using crappy earbuds and shedding a tear to Earth Song by Michael Jackson when I was a teenager. It’s not my favourite song now, and I don’t think I’ve ever cried to song after that, but music with good vocals can still definitely give me goose bumps. Anytime I listen to Jacob Collier’s Moon River, or any video of his that has him conducting the entire concert audience to sing harmonically always give me the chills.

Philippines lodges its 'strongest protest' against China over a water cannon assault in disputed sea (apnews.com)

The Philippines lodged its “strongest protest” against Beijing on Monday and summoned a senior Chinese diplomat over a water cannon assault by the Chinese coast guard that injured Filipino navy crew members and heavily damaged their boat in the disputed South China Sea, officials said....

China is deseparately trying to flip off every neighboring country, aren’t they?

If you think you’re getting lost or don’t know what to do, it’s okay to follow another lead. Sometimes the solution will come back to you. The signal scope is your friend when finding a new lead, and the ship log is your best friend for tracking it and figuring out what to do next.

I hope you enjoy it, it’s a game you can only experience once.

I don’t play Hitman in short bursts, but I think you certainly could. The sandbox is there for you to figure out and mess around in. As long as you get your target killed and get out, it doesn’t matter if you did it quick, slow, in a clown suit, or just happen to kill every other non-target NPC in the map either.

So I couldn’t find a membership-free version of this article, and not considering to sign up for another website, so I’m commenting on what I can see. Edit: I signed up with 10 minute mail, it’s an okay article.

I did the same search on Google Scholar, and it gave me 188 results. A good chunk of it are actually legitimate papers that discuss ChatGPT / AI capabilities and quoted responses from it. Still, a lot of papers that have nothing to do with machine learning have the same text in it, which I’m both surprised and not surprised.

As FaceDeer pointed out, the amount of papers schools have to churn out each year is astounding, and there are bound to be unremarkable ones. Most of them are, actually. When something becomes a chore, people will find an easier way to get through it. I won’t be surprised if there were actually more papers that use ChatGPT to generate parts of it that didn’t have the quote, students already do that with Wikipedia for their homework before ChatGPT was even a thing, this is just a better version of it. To be fair, it is a powerful tool that aggregates information with a single line of text, and most of the time its reliable. Most of the time. That’s why you have to do your own research and verify its validity afterwards. I have used Microsofts Copilot, and while I do like that it gives me sources, it sometimes still gives me stuff that the original source did not say.

What I am surprised about is that, the professor, institute, or even the publisher didn’t even think to do the basic amount of verification, and let something so blatantly obvious slip through. Some of the quotes appear right at the beginning of a paragraph, which is just laughable.

Me with raspberry pis. Also complain when digital notice boards don’t use low power systems like the pi and use windows PCs instead when all they do is show picture slideshows.

I don’t understand why the media isn’t focusing more on United airlines maintenance issues, and still hammering on Boeing. I mean, Boeing deserves all the criticism, but a lot of the Boeing plane issues in the news recently are all old ones flown by United.

falkerie71,
@falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

There are 4 tier levels for plane maintenance, and iirc, the plane manufacturer may involve in higher tier ones or repairs that have more serious issues. Otherwise, airlines usually do their own repairs. In this case, it’s a subsidiary of United called United Technical that does their repairs and maintenance.

You’re right, I misread the question and thought it was the 1700s. That changes it quite a bit 😂.
