Obviously there have been major improvements over the past 80 years, but that’s still considered the first neural network. The need for multi-layer neural networks was recognized by 1969, but the knowledge of how to do that took awhile to be worked out.

Fun fact, the Perceptron is basically the first machine learning AI, and it was invented in 1943. It took a long time and many advancements in hardware before it became recognizable as the AI of today, but it’s hardly a new idea.

AI is starting to get really smart

This seems cool, but hasn’t Windows 11 started blocking some different apps that replace parts of the UI?

Yeah, I’m fine with it.

I’m not sure to be honest.

If I remember right for steam, you can’t disable updates for all games, but you can set some restrictive rules for when it can update. Stuff like it can only download updates for 1 minute monday morning at 3am.

Yeah, the bank that manages my mortgage has mandatory text message 2fa if you’re on a new computer. And something about Firefox keeps it from remembering my machine, so I have to do the text message 2fa everytime.

Right now it’s working fine, but they had a period of a few months where the text messages would take 10-15min to send after you tried to log in, and the log in attempt would expire after 5 min, making it impossible to log in. All of which could be avoided if they would let me use a 2fa app.

Its crazy that a fanless 15watt arm chip can run old games this wel! Compared to a pentium 4 thats is taking off.

It’s not fanless, but the Steam Deck APU also has a 15w max (total power consumption can climb up to ~25w after fans/screen/etc). Overall really impressive what can be run these days on so little power.

I really loved Solus back when it was in more active development, I’m glad to see it coming back.

It may be ready, I haven’t tried their latest version. Most of the functionality was there, but it had some rough spots. I’ve been meaning to go back and try daily driving it again.

I think that’s what BlendOS is working towards. You might keep an eye on them.

I’m willing to forgive ffmpeg because it can do an insane amount of stuff. It’s nice to know whenever I have a weird media related need (converting a file, cropping and compressing a video for discord, etc) that I already have a tool capable of doing it on my machine. Just takes a quick search for the command and I’m ready to go.

To be honest, I kept a text file of all my most common ffmpeg commands in my video folder for quick reference.

Yeah, that’s the scariest part. This was caught, but are there other projects out there that have been attacked with similar methods that no one knows about?

Yeah, their original coverage was good, but they also had a really good follow up today.

I had assumed it was probably a state sponsored attack. This looks like it was planned from the beginning, and any cyber attack that had years of planning and waiting strikes me as state-sponsored.

It is possible that it is related to how Turkey has been flagging Linux software as malware.

Do you have any more context on this? A quick search showed someone saying the same thing on Reddit, but I haven’t seen any actual sources saying this.

A lot of people won’t touch electrical, and the problem with modifying the wiring is you need to be able to clearly document or show what was changed in case it needs to be reversed later.

This is ugly, but it’s immediately obvious how to reverse it to anyone who looks at it. And that pipe wrench probably wasn’t being used anymore anyways. I doubt they tapped the holes, those are probably just self-tap screws that both drilled the hole and cut the thread as they screwed in. No one will call this an elegant solution, but if it works it works.

I’m sure they just needed a way to lock the selector knob to the primary position, and didn’t want to rewire it.

VLC stands for VideoLAN Client, and was originally designed as a player for network streams provided by the VideoLAN server. It also supports local media playback, which has become its most common use. It adding additional streaming functionality is just reinforcing its original purpose.
