Yeah exactly, every time I bring this up (yes I'm definitely fun at parties, why do you ask?) I struggle to remember the details of the story and then once I do recall it, observe how the person in telling it to is swiftly becoming more confused by the second haha

I can't believe that this is how I find the most pedagogical counterexample I've ever seen to true justified belief being knowledge hahaha

I had this issue yesterday and today images work fine again, no idea what happened. I use Jerboa

Indonesian is red at the top while Polish is red at the bottom, so the flag is Polish for sure!

Ah thanks, I didn't find their paper but you lead me on the correct path to find some nice info on their blog! Great idea with the keys they had, it's good that we will be able to verify if their claims are true in the future at least. The bugs that were solved already did indeed seem cool, but they write the blog in a slightly odd day where I didn't find the confirmation that those were also zero-day vulnerabilities. Either way, we should get plenty of confirmation with the keys. Thanks for the details!

I think it's twice per day between Entroncamento and Badajoz too, not sure if there are other cross border connections. But maybe they'll finish the direct connection between Lisbon and Madrid some day! 🤞

I'm always a little picky with AI news, so I'm curious how much is actually confirmed to be true. I only did a little bit of digging, but it seems that all of Mythos' capabilities are simply claimed by Anthropic and not verified? I also couldn't find information about any new vulnerabilities they say it managed to find, it only found already discovered and patched ones as far as I can tell...?

The claim seems to be that it found them looking at old unpatched code and without connection to the internet and without being "explicitly" trained to find them. To me this sound like it was implicitly trained to find them since they were known about at the time of training, but I don't know this for sure. It sure does feel a lot like marketing and very little like facts at this time!

Not sure if Portugal is the type of European country you imagine, but last month on a train I sat one row ahead of a child that would excidetly exclaim "another train!" (in Portuguese) every time one passed outside the window. Adorable!

I'm not saying that it is straightforward or that you don't have a point about the complexity, but something being entertaining and addictive really should not be conflated! You might spend tonnes of time on something because you genuinely enjoy it, but you can also spend tonnes of time on something addictive without enjoying it. Arguing that things are only addictive if they're good is a gross misrepresentation of reality

I was super into them as a teenager, learned to solve the usual 3x3 and even bigger the usual way, i.e. mostly by memorising a bunch of algorithms (tonnes of "beginner" tutorials out there). After not touching them for over a decade I was disappointed that I had forgotten most of how to do it! Now I've re-learned and finding a way that relies on understanding or intuition so that I don't have to worry about algorithms or memorisation, I feel like this is a much nicer way to learn to do it!

Wow this really was an excellent read, thanks for sharing!

This is so pretty!

 

Hey all!

So I've been wanting to get into Linux gaming for a while thanks to inspiration from this community, but I've struggled to get it working, and after a final try today I'm starting to lose hope. I haven't gotten a single game working, most of them using Steam and Proton, but I also tried League of Legends through Lutris. I don't know what to try next, other than maybe installing a different Linux operating system and trying again. Anyone with some advice on what I can do, or where I can turn for help? I've searched online as best I can but didn't find anything that seemed relevant.

Some details of what I've tried if anyone is curious: on Steam I tried Trine 4 and Jusant today, previously also Baldur's Gate 3 a few months ago. The games simply don't launch, though for BG3 and LoL at least the launcher starts. Usually no error message, but Trine did for once tell me "GPU error detected" today. I've tried both Proton Experimental and whatever the newest version is at the time, today Proton GE-Proton8-14. Some system details:

Distro: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS RAM: 16GB CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 six-core GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU Driver: Nvidia 545.29.06 (proprietary)
