Výpusť bazénu. Trubka velikosti 50. Se zakončením šroubovice 1" na hadici. Ať se může bazén vypustit po celé zahradě, né jen na jedno místo.

Jenže závity zrezlé. Dolů to nejde. A celá koncovka na trubku v místním dealerství není. Mají max. velikost 40.

A i kdyby, stejně nemají kombinaci závitů, abych se dostal na požadovaný rozměr na konci.

To bude ještě sranda, abych nemusel používat ponorné čerpadlo na vypuštění 😁

@archos Ok, dík. A vida... NA ptáčka jsem zapomněl, že tu máme... 😄
in reply to Archos

@archos to jo, ale zrovna tady je v takové odlehlejší části města... Na to snadno zapomeneš 😄
in reply to Zechy

Mně to nevadí ti to poskládat, jen jezdím až večer domů, tak to nestíhám poslat. To bych poslal až v pátek.

@archos uvidíme jak to výjde... Ale musím @sagittaras připravit na konferenci další víkend, takže nečekám, že něco zázračného zvládnu 😄

"A decade ago, Germany’s renewable energy transition was seen as a model for the rest of the world. Today much of the working class has turned against all things green. What happened?"

Excellent piece by Sean Sweeney in Jacobin

Just a thought: abundant cheap and clean energy is necessary. "Public ownership" in itself won't solve that basic physical reality. As long as Germany doesn't build plenty of new nuclear power plants, it will remain to deindustrialise for the same reasons the article already explains very well.

A question for selfhosters: What do you consider the best option for a self hosted cloud drive?

I've deployed owncloud some time ago. But I don't know whether it is currently the best choice or not. Nextcloud? Any other?

AAA gaming comes to Apple M1 thanks to the latest Asahi Linux build — Control, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Witcher 3 are playable with respectable frame rates

Asahi Linux is now the first and only distro capable of running x86 Windows games on Apple Silicon devices through a Linux OS.

Here in one paper is the probable reason why Apple abruptly pulled out of OpenAI's current funding round a week ago, after previously being expected to buy at least a billion bucks of equity.

(AI is peripheral to Apple's business model and not tarnishing their brand in the long term is more important than jumping on a passing fad.)

> I want [this] from my digital assistant

is 1000% valuable product-direction research data

Current systems are basically outsourcing to call-center style labeling factories — with a bit of ML laundering in between — & this fully pre-dates the LLM boom (Facebook M,? & when Siri was new)

Recent LLM innovation has let them do more of the ML laundering and time shifting by throwing compute at it

But they're still mostly emulating what a call-center drone can do

in reply to Jeremy Kahn

That "emulate form without doing actual reasoning" is so effective at charming the executive class into throwing money at it…

…is kinda damning of the executive class' own "genius" intellectual self-regard

They themselves have used prose-based discriminative pattern-matching (& privilege) to get where they are, not actual reasoning

"That guy fast-talks like he knows what he's talking about, put him in charge of a division" is no way to run a system of {governance}

I remember a time when everyone was on Twitter during conferences. You could barely keep up with the posts on the conference hashtag timeline. That's long gone.
The #LinuxDays have roughly a thousand attendees and during the conference there were 14 posts with the conference hashtag on Mastodon and 8 on Twitter.
in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

@stepan @lepapierblanc I keep doing it. I promote our booth during the conference etc. I do receive responses, but only online. It's not like that someone comes and says "I've seen your post that you have this to show...". In the past, Twitter was the information hub for attendees. You posted something with the conference hashtag and most attendees read it. This is gone. Twitter is going down the hill and people haven't moved elsewhere to communicate during conferences.


There's a lot of animosity against #AI on this platform. I can understand why, up to certain extent (eg using creators contwnt without permission, the use of earth resources for questionable goals...). However, I wonder how they think the "detect text from picture" function works.

Feedback submitted to Caltrain:

"Hi there, I just tried to get on train 424, which stopped at San Antonio around 6:35 pm. I was on the station rushing to the blue zone at the opposite end of the platform. It was very difficult to go over the bumpy stamped concrete. No conductor came out to meet me, and the train left without me. I'm quite surprised by this, as the conductors are usually very attentive. If I had been able to walk, I would have been able get on the train, but this time, I felt excluded based on my wheelchair. Is there anything you can do to make this better?"

The other day someone here said that they used one of the AI services to have it draw a picture for them. I don't remember who it was, or which AI service offers this, but if anyone could please tell me how I can get AI-generated images I'd appreciate it. I want to try an experiment. Thanks for any help with this.

The simplest and easiest is to go for chatgpt.com/. they have restrictions but you can do it and you can also specify that you want a direct download link.


What do you even get with a perpetual Jaws license? How long does that license last, exactly? How much for each update? #Blind #JAWS
in reply to Nick's world

That seems to depend on whether you get the SMA or the AMS, the latter seems like it's similar to the home annual license. A perpetual license costs more up front but the one advantage is that it doesn't time out, even if you choose not to renew a maintenance agreement. That being said, I prefer the subscription model.


I have been accepted into the Flight Simulator 2024 technical alpha, and I've also just learned that there is no NDA, beyond the fact that this is an experimental build and things may break--I've had one CTD so far.

Narrator is a lot better with the UI and they got rid of the querky navigation that came with a mouse pointer interface; I think it has this with Narrator disabled however.

One little tidbit of information interested me. The settings menu is divided into categories. General, controls, accessibility, and each of these has subcategories. Narration has one, but here's the thing. It says 'Narration and audio cues'. Right now, it only has the narration settings we previously had and the ability to make all audio mono for hard of hearing users. I plan on doing a quick look video over the weekend demonstrating the QoL improvements to narrator, differences to free flight screen and an overview of how settings work. I think they may have cut the AI copilot out of FS24, which if so is a bad move for those with severe physical disabilities such as CP.

in reply to Orinks

Interesting. Wonder what kind of audio queues they're talking about. The AI co-pilot might also return, maybe they're didn't want to enable it for the technical test or need to tweak it. Or they could be working on something even more advanced, given what climat we're in I think it's just as likely we get a voice controlled LLM powered copilot in the future.


Just casually opened the door of my #FS2024 Cessna walking around, describing the scenery around me with Jaws picture smart on this early Saturday morning. :)

The image shows a landscape at dusk or dawn, with a dark foreground and silhouetted trees against a gradually lightening sky. The horizon has a gentle
glow, suggesting the sun is either rising or setting. Sparse lights are visible in the distance, possibly from buildings or vehicles, adding a subtle touch
to the tranquil scene. The atmosphere feels calm and serene.

in reply to aaron

@fireborn Lots of quality of life improvements for now. E.G. you can scroll the runways, gates, and parking areas list dropdown normally now and select your desired one without too much hastle. I like how they tried their best to actually make the world map view accessible. If OBS would stay running I'll record a vieo. Going to try another attempt later with it.

Sometimes I'm tempted to justify not commenting code by saying that I don't want to come off as a n00b, or assume that the reader is one, as portrayed in this old Steve Yegge rant: steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/… I wonder if this article had that effect on anyone else.
in reply to Matt Campbell

True, type inference makes it considerably less painful since one isn't force to annotate everything all over the place. On the other hand he also includes inferring languages like Haskell and, presumably, ML and friends.
in reply to modulux

@modulux Yeah, he did.

I was totally with him on dynamic typing when I went through my Lua phase in the mid to late 2000s; that happened to correspond with discovering his writing for the first time.




I'm sure Apple having research showing "lol AIs don't know shit" and them dropping out of the OpenAI investment round are 100% unrelated


One thing that I was trying to describe to the 15-year-old is that, when I was in college, google worked *so well* to find basically exactly what you were searching for that there was a site called "Let Me Google That For You" where you could snarkily send someone their question back and they'd see it animate the process of typing their question into google, then get the search results and bam, there's the answer to their question

I would *never* consider doing that now because almost never is the first hit the actual thing you want (and, honestly, it's getting rarer that it's top 10)



One of the strongest arguments for right-to-repair (that no one wants to make) is that as the supply chain collapses, maintaining all the technology in our possession becomes exponentially more important. Parts must be interchangeable, accessible, and open for this to really work at all.

Hiya, another day, another #GoToSocial release candidate:

github.com/superseriousbusines…

We fixed a couple small bugs around interaction accepts and rejects :)

Please read the release notes carefully, especially if updating to this release candidate from v0.16.0 or below! There are migrations!

If you're using SQLite on OpenBSD or FreeBSD, please take the release version with moderncsqlite in the name, as described in the release notes.

Thanks for reading and helping us find bugs! We're getting there 🙂

in reply to GoToSocial

Big big thank you to folks who tested this on FreeBSD and OpenBSD and helped us to potentially track down a memory bug. Hopefully switching DB drivers for those operating systems helps :)
in reply to GoToSocial

If you are on #OpenBSD or #FreeBSD and you're still seeing issues with extravagant memory use on this release candidate, please let us know :) Initial reports seem to indicate that the issue is resolved but we'd like to know for real before we call it fixed and move on to cutting 0.17.0 proper. Thanks!



Another prediction that isn't really that hard to make: the hype around Big AI will fade (this is already happening, IMHO). This will mean that not that many Nvidia chips are needed. This will lead to what always comes at the end of a hype: patent wars. There will be claims and counterclaims on who has patented certain obscure technical stuff first. Seeing how Apple just doggedly keeps on adding more "neural" chips on their processors, I can make an educated guess on where this war will start.
