heapless is by far my favorite #Rust #crate as it fixes things that annoy me the most in the current standard library. I.e. it enforces explicit checks. #rustlang

I've found my first useful application for 'deep" AI: a plain spell check #aspell style. I underline not to produce to the text content itself but just correct spelling and comma mistakes.

IMHO, it is pretty good application for working in open source project such as #Linux #kernel because it improves fairness and equality between native and non-native #English speakers.

You have to remember that #English is one of the tedious #language's if you analyze it objectively. It has vast amount of corner cases and exceptions. It is dead easy only because at least in #Finland you hear throughout your life by playing video games and watching TV series (we do not dub) :-)

Still, in written English e.g. comma rules are so strange that I doubt whether I will ever really can master them....

Also I have a minor #dyslexia which makes me read sentences sometimes incorrectly in any language. This can be often seen at LKML but what can you do :-)

@peterkorsgaard I did send it, did not address this issue tho :-( I remembered this thread after sending it unfortunately. Can you remark this and other possible issues? I'm not that experienced with BuildRoot contributions (if I recall correctly I've only contributed quota in the past, and that is like decade ago or over). Added RFC tag for the reason that I don't exactly know what I'm doing.

, 21 Mar 1945, Hannie Schaft, an active member of the Dutch resistance known as "the girl with the red hair", is arrested at a German checkpoint in Haarlem.

She is later executed, allegedly saying "I shoot better" after the first attempt to shoot her missed.

@timojyrinki @timojyrinki I prefer usually spare copies that can be commited or discarded over simultaneously updated concurrent persistent memory :-)

@timojyrinki I'm test bedding Stojr now when I have my subscription left about couple of month.

I'm not really going to add any other layers to it than use rclone to "checkout and commit" stuff back and forth (not even fuse mounts). I already moved to this kind of model with Dropbox because deterministic sequence of events is my thing :-) AI/smartness is at its worst in making decision when the trigger any possible action.

Stoir stripped away from hype is "S3 for the consumer no strings attached" and billing based on capacity used, not to a fixed monthly quota.

For *personal* cloud storage, I think that pay-for-quota should be the new status quo de-facto. I think bits and volts are comparable enough to have matching pricing model. Huge number of TB's or unlimited quota do not make much sense from sustainability point of view.

With similar pricing model to electricity, e.g. optional carbon compensation would be trivial to implement.

I realized that I've paid for few years 2 TB Dropbox with 100GB quota at max so it makes at least for me a lot of sense to move this of cloud. There's a few pretty decent S3-compatible options available for personal use, which is also a factor more robust than using Dropbox with its awesome apps (of which I've ever used none) :-)

Paying less and having full control of the storage works for me.

good timing as i just got my crowdfunded #sonicware ELZ_1 Play too.

with computer barely ever use hardware. with polyend tracker there's always some piece of gear hooked up. it has so low-barrier for sampling that it just comes natural :-) with computer it's like building a pyramid

Phew, was definitely worth of trouble to wipe all the IM GUI crap and take time to setup #bitlbee with gateways for Signal, Telegram etc.

Be it separate GUI apps or within a browser tabs they constantly shift context from what you are doing and getting back in phase takes always 15-20 minutes something time.

Now I just open the tmux session when I have the time and have all the messages nicely in their own queries. You also get all the nice logging features and thus have text files of discussions that you grep later and find important bits (I do have some work related stuff going on e.g. in Signal groups). I regret that I did not do this already years ago.

The European Parliament has passed a law banning certain AI applications that threaten citizens’ rights, including untargeted scraping of faces from the internet or CCTV footage to create facial recognition databases, emotion recognition in the workplace & schools, social scoring, and predictive policing. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240308IPR19015/artificial-intelligence-act-meps-adopt-landmark-law

Bluesky makes conference time table changes great again i'd guess :-) exactly like old twitter which was great for that. have peek at some point what sort of api they provide.

I like what my ex-employer is doing with #x86s, nice work. it takes talent and skills to transform #microarchitecture with decades of legacy and move it forward like this.

#rclone is quite great, too bad i have not found it earlier.

It fixes the glitch that I've had with cloud storage, which works like Dropbox does. I can do "scattered" syncs with trivial scripting, i.e. when the files to be synced are scattered around the filesystem.

A great example is audio plugin presets and their associated files (e.g. samples) that can be deployed to multiple locations.

Also e.g. in Linux and macOS versions of U-he plugins there's some differences in the directory hierarchy. I can sort that out with two scripts, one for Linux and another for macOS, and call it day.

Life quality has been upgraded :-)

@diegovsky I check also Vec and it also has try_reserve(), which I suppose gives similar tool as for Box to check the success state.

I think these are a big improvement but I hope that clippy will also get flags to emit error if every allocation in a code-base does not have the heap checks.
