Well nvidia finally announced the 40 series - the scam 4080 was confirmed (they slapped a 4080 label on a 4070 so they could crank the price up) and they set absurd prices on the 4090/actual 4080.

Will amd take a short term loss to gain a lot of market share and build brand loyalty, or will they greed out like nvidia? Find out in November.

I'd gone in thinking I was going to grab a 3060 TI (currently 300) or a 6750 XT (currently 400) and but now I'm not so sure.

Smartphone USB Tethering One of the alternative possibilities is to use your smartphone with USB cable to provide the Internet connection.

The first and obvious way is to just use that smartphone with USB cable attached to your FreeBSD to provide Internet connection no matter if that smartphone provides that connection using LTE/4G connection or WiFi connection to some WiFi hotspot.

I recently discovered a program on GitHub that'd let me shove images in batches to some cmd which will use OCR to translate and auto place the text for manga.

Issue is that I need an openai key for pretty accurate translating but I'm poor.

So I was wondering if, you know, the keys one could find on GitHub through search dorking could be used? Hypothetically, since apparently openai has a deal with GitHub to automatically detect keys and alert the owner because so many are r-slurred. And, hypothetically, is that a crime, especially one that could be traced?

If so I'll just be a good boy and spend five bucks or whatever since crime is bad

CHIRP

CHIRP

CHIRP

The nationwide alert had gone out. This primes the populace not merely to hear national alerts and react appropriately by considering all of the scenarios in which that chirp might go off for real, but also proves our Big Text capabilities had been tested--finally. This is a real Thank You Biden moment for those of us with brains.

It's a real laugh, isn't it, that when they rolled this out under Trump, they didn't dare test it.

But you can see them all light up at once, can't you? Every phone in this country buzzing.

I told a friend to run for office. They told me they're considering it.

It's time.

Those which launch ships cannot fly them.

But you must, if you have arms with which to grip, take a grip on power itself. This is one lesson that I hope you have learned from me: that Occupy didn't fail.

It just

went

underground

where we have waited, for a long time, to try again, and mark our generation's line, a line in the sand to be washed away like everything else, but for the moment we were there to mark that line and look at the sun

and smile

The protest ends and you have to go back home. Some of us ran for office. Some of us did other things.

Your protests should be nonviolent. Your signs should be funny.

But all of what we have just seen unfold on the Right is because of Occupy. The anti-rich sentiment of "We are the 99%" was heard. Do not, ever discount the sanctity, and thus power, of this.

Communication is all that we have.

"The revolution will not be televised" isn't about whether or not there is video coverage of an event. Do not be fooled by the fact that everything is captured in video. Revolution doesn't happen when people suddenly become fundamentally fed up. It happens when you keep this spirit alive, and it is in this respect that critics of Marxists who say that Marxists look to Revolution the way Christians look to Joyous Heaven aren't wrong!

But revolution isn't necessary here. Just as many political parties as you can form. Joke political parties. It doesn't matter.

Just turn our government off and on again. All new people. As many as can win in 2024.

But this is harder than you think. People have tried.

Honestly looking back on it the problem remains people's receptiveness to change. The mass unemployed of our generation moved in with their parents and eventually got jobs as the economy heated up again.

Evolution.

If I only had more hours in the day I would… How would you finish that sentence? I would very likely answer that question by responding: read, write, and code.

In 2017 I listened to the book Deep Work by Cal Newport for the first time (thanks Audible). I remember feeling particularly challenged to set aside time to do things on my bucket list. Things like: read good books, write a book, and make my own iPhone app.

So the question quickly became: How can I get more focused time without sacrificing time with the family? After considering the alternatives, which were to stay up later at night, or to work during lunch, I realized that the only reasonable answer was to wake up earlier—before everyone else in my house. If I did this I could “guarantee” I would have the energy and quiet I needed to get some work in. And if I could get to the place where I woke up around 5:30-5:45am I’d gain effectively 5 hours of focused time per week before the kids woke up. That’s a lot.

Why not just wake up earlier? Well the problem is that I’ve historically been a night owl. Spending many hours deep into the night playing video games (when I was younger of course), studying or writing a paper, finishing a project, watching a good movie, playing music, etc. Though this can be a time for inspiration to strike, with young children in the house I don’t really have the same stamina to push into the later hours. So how does someone who has been a night owl for their entire life change their habits and move into the early riser category?

A number of years ago I stumbled upon an alarm app called Step Out (I’ve since switched to Alarmy Pro because I was having an issue with Step Out, but they are both very similar). What’s special about these apps is that they let you setup small required tasks (or “missions”) that must be completed before you can turn off the alarm. Because these tasks are required you can’t simply snooze a hundred times. This is because the app requires more mental effort and/or physical exertion than a traditional alarm clock does. This gives you a higher chance of not going back to sleep after completing the required tasks. Some example tasks include solving a math problem, walking a number of steps, or shaking the phone violently. I tried all of these and they did not work for me. I have to admit I was discouraged at this point.

The feature that really sealed the deal for me and took me out of my app-buying-regret-despair-cycle was the “take a picture” mission. When you setup the alarm for the first time, you take a photo of a place in your house within the app. Then when the alarm goes off in the morning, you have to walk over to that same place and take essentially the same photo to turn it off (don’t worry they allow room for error!).

So every morning when I wake up early I take a picture of my fridge. This is strategic because it’s in the kitchen. This puts me close to the espresso machine which then greatly increases my chances of staying awake and getting to work. And this was the piece of the puzzle I was missing.

Finding an app that had the potential to help was one thing, but I still needed to actually start waking up earlier.

I began to use the app and paired it with making incremental adjustments to my sleeping habits. For one thing, I didn’t start waking up at 5:30am. I think I first set my alarm to 6:45am. I would try to go to bed a little earlier the next few nights, and then move my wakeup time to 6:30am. After a few weeks of inching both my bedtime and my wakeup time earlier, wham! I hit 5:30am. Eureka!

I can’t say it was easy inching along, systematically trying to program my mind and trick my body to wake up early. It wasn’t. But I can say the feeling of waking up earlier and reaping the benefits was amazing. I was finally doing it.

And now it’s largely a matter of discipline. When I’m getting ready for bed I will decide if I want to turn on my alarm for the morning. I also have to make the conscious effort to go to bed early enough the night before or I’ll just fall asleep on the couch. I’ve found that I need about 7 hours of sleep. And I’m pretty good at convincing myself that I need more sleep when it’s dark outside.

And that’s how I tricked myself into regularly waking up before 6am. There are of course exceptions to waking up early, sick kiddos is a good one, but I still use this method to wake up early and I’d recommend trying it if you’ve struggled with the ever tempting snooze button.

Do you already wake up early? What motivates you to resist every inch of your body screaming “stay in bed”?! Do you wish you could wake up earlier? Have you also found a way to change from a night owl to a morning person out of necessity like me?

*Side note: when you’re traveling or on vacation you’ll want to turn off the required picture setting (if you use it) since that area of your house won’t be available to take a picture of while you’re away! I learned this the hard way. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The chess world is currently consumed by a drama as lurid and compelling, in its way, as the Don’t Worry Darling fracas.

The event and its fallout (only given in outline here) have sharply divided the chess world, as even the conservative approach of “let’s wait and see” tacitly sustains the idea of Niemann cheating, so there is precious little neutral ground to occupy.

FIDE, the official international chess organization, is expected to issue a statement soon that may shed light on things, but it won’t change what’s already happened.

Gölgede ve güneşte satranç :P Oynayanlar Magnus Carlsen ve son dönemin yükselen genç yıldızlarından Hans Niemann yer de Miami.

The chess community at large, a diverse group of players and commentators of all ages and skill levels, could not help but think about how, if one were insane enough to try to cheat in an over the board game with Magnus holding the white pieces, how would you do it?

This is not that strange in and of itself.

The phenomenon of quiet quitting is not actually new.

Effective leaders confront the causes and ... [+] issues directly.

getty The phenomenon of quiet quitting, made viral by a TikTok video this summer, is not actually new; the concepts of low employee engagement and reduced discretionary effort have existed for decades.

Effective leaders use these key elements to re-energize workers, especially as their organizations undergo change.

Effective leaders make sure managers understand their role and value in addressing engagement and quiet quitting, rethink how managers are trained and deployed, and invest in their own development in a very different world.
