I think the misunderstanding here is in thinking ChatGPT has "languages". It doesn't choose a language. It is always drawing from everything it knows. The 'configuration' hence is the same for all languages, it's just basically an invisible prompt telling it, in plain text, how to communicate.

When you change/add your personalized "Custom Instructions", this is basically the same thing.

I would assume that this invisible context is in English, no matter what. It should make no difference.

Don't call the ambulance, it's too late for me

You are totally correct, but I feel like pointing out that a surprising number of games use the 4k texture nomenclature in a totally illogical way; they label it 4k because it's meant to look good on a 4k screen, not because the texture itself is at that resolution (or any loosely related resolution).

Which is itself really annoying. But I guess less savvy crowd might not actually understand what 'real' 4k textures even refer to?

Man. That was a good series. Not sure if I can watch it again now, though...

Bvckup (not a typo)

Made by a little Swiss company, extremely light but very competent. Stays completely out of your way unless it absolutely must get your attention (which is usually never).

I think it's paid only but it's very reasonable. Works great in intermittent situations, I. E. It won't blow up if it tries to run a scheduled backup and the source or target is disconnected etc... Works very well for me for a decade.

The most level-headed take I've seen on both of these topics in long time.

Lived at a farm that got some organic farming approvals; it depends on the country. And perhaps even your region. In my country, you can get certain approvals/certifications for organic farming, and the regulations for that is very strict. Things like "chemical" (synthetic) pesticides are forbidden outright, so are strong fertilizers etc. This has government oversight, so, there are randomized sampling and testing done on approved entities (farms, companies).

Sadly this often leads to higher costs and more land use. Like it or not, a lot of the things forbidden do lead to much higher yields etc. The end result is higher prices; organic (certified) products are quite expensive here.

While true that the x nm nomenclature doesn't match physical feature size anymore, it's definitely not just marketing bs. The process nodes are very significant and very (very) challenging technological steps, that yield power efficiency gains in the dozens of % usually.

To me, what is surprising is that people refuse to see the similarity between how our brains work and how neural networks work. I mean, it's in the name. We are fundamentally the same, just on different scales. I belive we work exactly like that, but with way more inputs and outputs and way deeper network, but fundamental principles i think are the same.

They do also use an antireflective coating/paint on the satellites now, which had helped quite a lot.

The auto update was awful for usability. Hate my page randomly jumping around when I'm trying to read.

My partner is in her mid 30s and is a game designer. Suffice to say she likes games, board games / pen & paper, video games...

We have literally not a single plant in our apartment, and I'm sick of it! We need some green! But I have no idea what to start with.

FWIW we're in the far nordics near the arctic circle, so conditions in places like windows vary quite wildly throughout the year, from occasionaly hot and long summer days to cold and very short winter days.

Not really fuzzed about beautiful flowers, just leaves, vines, will keep us happy. Maybe succulents?

Would appreciate any advice :)
