Ray-Tracing performance uplift coming to the AMD RADV Linux graphics driver gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/ray-โ€ฆ

sounds really promising. The onky ray tracing game that I currently play on my Rx 7600 s laptop is Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. It looks gorgeous and runs pretty well (after adding fsr 2 mod).

Well that's why I figured out the maths ๐Ÿ˜œ so you can have look at the python part.

@breizh @CodingThunder @graphite thatโ€™s not how it works, if you gain consent first there is no issue - the whole font thing I am well aware of and the issue was again consent

Millions of websites use adsense and serve the EU, please donโ€™t make claims that you donโ€™t understand

@breizh @CodingThunder @graphite it's literally not illegal, GDPR doesn't make things illegal, it requires you to gain consent and inform users - seriously look it up before going around making claims like that or i will have to just block you

This is on "smart" phones. The phone app, when you click on a link, doesn't open the link in your web browser; it opens it in a web browser built into the app. The privacy implications are obvious.



Really cool Morris dancing!

I saw a dance where tap dancers jumped over moving sticks, like jumping rope. This looked like fun.
in reply to Muse

@Robbie You might have seen the dance troupe STOMP. Australia has a group called Tap Dogs that does that sort of thing.

@Gillybean Close. We were on the Kalalau Trail on the Nฤpali Coast of Kauai today. Remarkable place.

give us first impressions after. It's fine if it isn't to your liking.


Greetings! Iโ€™ve been on Mastodon for quite a while but Iโ€™ve just moved instances. Iโ€™m a psychotherapist (this is a personal acct.), a gramma, a gardener of #Perennials, and steward of about 5 acres of old #NewEngland farmland with my wife of 22 years๐Ÿ’— I post my own photos and enjoy connecting with others who are #KindSouls.

I just finished putting together a Wikipedia article on plant biologist Mary Clutter, who was so instrumental in determining mechanisms for gene regulation and expression through her work with plant hormones.

She also was one of the foremost scientists involved in expanding opportunities for women scientists in the latter half of the 20th century, including getting them the recognition they deserved for their accomplishments.

I just started to listen to the episode.
I used to use #Thunderbird, what annoyed me (besides the 1 GB of stuff it stored in .thunderbird instead of under .local/share) was that it brought notifications of calendar items and tasks BEFORE it synced them, so after going home from work, I'd be blasted with all my "missed work appointments" that I actually handled on my phone and got synced to Nextcloud.

So for e-mails I went back to pinned tabs in FF, and calendar I went CLI.

I've redesigned my artist website completely. Big changes. It's now all a bit...weird. So I'm happy with that.

All javascript has been removed and there are no more embedded videos or other media. I've also tried to make sure it's as accessible as possible; all images now have descriptions right back through a 15-year archive.

Comments welcome, especially if you notice something broken or some accessibility problems.

@Fionnรกin Good to do your own code. That way any bloated code will be spared, this approach is ultimately supporting green computing, too ๐Ÿ˜€
in reply to *_j฿yrope

@jrp yes thanks. My site was always plain HTML but often included borrowed elements and used Javascript for visual quirkiness. Reducing bloat code was the main motivation, along with removing all trackers to make it more privacy/ethically sound. I never needed these but they were built into embedded videos or other borrowed tools; I decided on a big rebuild to go back into the archive of 15 years.

As my art is all about tech and environment, I figured it made sense to have my site reflect that.

โ€œcountless professors, when asked to perform a peer review for a journal, fob the work off to their hapless grad studentsโ€

Having been through the fact-checking process at the Times repeatedly, I canโ€™t understand how nonsense like this gets through.

I can only speculate the perhaps these days their fact-checkers fob the work off to hapless interns.

nytimes.com/2024/01/04/opinionโ€ฆ

in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom

To be fair to Seife, it *is* getting harder and harder to find sufficiently qualified scholars who are willing to review scholarly papers, and as this becomes more difficult the quality of peer review is probably declining.

I'm just tired of the Times misrepresenting the peer review process.

"That then, is the simple reason why discovering drugs is hard; because we are dealing with a biological system that still escapes our rational understanding and because we are trying to engineer a molecule that perturbs this incompletely understood system, and that too while being forced to satisfy multiple constraints. It's like being asked to find a black cat in the dark, with the added constraint that one of your feet is bound to the top of your head, and you only get three tries."

in reply to Thiago Carvalho

while I agree with the general premise, I would also argue that the difficulty of drug discovery makes it even more important to have more publicly funded initiatives, rather than leaving it to corporations.
