@jon what struck me most when I cycled in the Netherlands is that you don't have to plan a route. I roughly looked on a map in which direction I wanted to go and just ... cycled there. No looking at a map and figuring out if this main road has a quieter side street or anything like that

netherlands:

everyone speaks english.
“card only” signs everywhere.
“sorry, we’re forbidden from accepting cash”.
employees even at big grocery chains visibly confused by cash and struggling to count coins.

germany:

“was?”
“cash only” signs everywhere.
“sorry, card payments from 10eur only”.
“easy online payments, just provide your online banking login and password to sofort, it’s completely safe and totally does not blatantly violate the terms of agreement you signed with your bank”.

Does anyone know a place in the Netherlands or Flanders that me, my partner, and cat can stay for a couple months from late april/early may as we try to get out of the kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare we have found ourselves in? Limburg or nearby preferred but if it's like a house sitting thing we'd probably go anywhere

Please boost

Hey. Yeah, you, hey: if you are not currently sick or disabled, one day you will be, and you will wish you lived in a world that had the resources and culture to make your life as full and thriving and happy as anyone else's. You will want that world, and you can start helping make it, right now.

one of the libraries underpinning the Linux graphics ecosystem is called the GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit. It is primarily used by GNU is Not Unix Network Object Model Environment. GTK's primary competitor (qt) was created by a company called Trolltech, and qt is the primary library of the Kool Desktop Environment.

All of these bind to the X window system, which is named that way because it's the successor to the W window system, which was the window system of the V operating system. It is currently being succeeded by a window system named after a town in Massachusetts.

This applies to all current publicly available AI generators, not just those producing images.

Imagine if all the collective money spent of “self driving cars” had been spent on public transport.

As in, not cars - which are ultimately bad solutions for most of the world - but punctual and pervasive clean-energy public trams, trains, and buses.

It’d have cost less and been far more useful for far more people. Including non-drivers. And actually be here. Today. Working.

@NicoleCRust "Academic power structures as they currently stand are toxic - as evidenced by the outcomes" - Kay Tye

As relatively junior scientists, some of us have talked about academic toxicity in the past only to be harassed, silenced, ignored, or forced to leave. I'm glad that someone in a position of power acknowledged the toxicity. I hope that the toxic hierarchy collapses sooner than later.

Us choosing a cooperative form of governance at neuromatch.social, instead of a typical top-down hierarchy, is our attempt of trying a different power structure. I hope that we see more of such experiments permeate throughout academia.

hey anyone around here have a CPU with more than 32 cores

I feel like the gameplay teams behind most AAA open world games don't have a good handle on why walking around in nature is intrinsically enjoyable in real life
