I am faster, more comfortable, and more productive in Vim. I use the same keybindings in all my editors and IDEs. It's okay for people to have different preferences.

Unfortunately, this will also make aviation safety analysis more difficult for us.

As a federated learning researcher, I love to see articles introducing the public to the idea. But this article is really drawing a comparison between the fediverse and federated learning that doesn't make sense (to me).

Beyond the fact that data and compute are stored on separate servers, they really aren't similar. Federated learning avoids sharing data by sharing gradients or model updates with a central aggregator; raw data does not leave your device. The fediverse enables easy sharing of data between servers and avoids a central server.

Additionally, this article makes it seem like medical researchers were inspired by the fediverse, but the FedAvg paper was released in 2016—two years before ActivityPub was introduced in 2018.

Based on the data, people are still buying Samsung these days. Samsung consistently is in the top 3 by sales every quarter, and #1 in global smartphone market share goes back and forth between Apple and Samsung.

I work in AI, and I think AI is overrated.

Thanks for the hard work!

Same. I've written a fish plugin, but other than that I just fish pretty much stock. It works and just gets out of my way.

I've tried Connect, Liftoff, Thunder, Voyager, and Infinity. It's just bugs galore. The back button will take you to the wrong activity, comments won't post (due to the app not the instance), some instances or accounts won't load, and a laundry list of UI or functionality bugs. Liftoff gave me the fewest issues of all of them, apart from using Lemmy in the browser.

But Sync really is polished, and the experience is night and day. I'm a big FOSS proponent, but I don't think it's wrong for a developer to want to make money when their income source suddenly disappears and they need to pay bills (and region-specific pricing is coming soon). The level of customizability, spit and polish in the other apps doesn't even come close. I'm sure they'll get there eventually, but I think it's a mistake to drive away passionate developers who want to help Lemmy succeed.

I've given pretty much every app or browser front-end a fair shake at this point, and I'm gladly choosing Sync for now.

I recommend installing Obtainium. In Obtainium, click Add App and then paste the Codeberg URL for Infinity for Lemmy: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

Obtainium will take care of installing and updating from various code repositories whether they're hosted on GitHub or Codeberg or some other place.

My favorite is Dracula, in part because they support so many applications.

I don't think I'd switch away from Fira Coda, but I think this would make a great prank.

Since your pen is not a demonstrator and does not have an ink window, you'll know it's ink is low when it stops writing.

Where did you buy it, and what kind of ink are you using? Metropolitans are really reliable, so it's be very surprised to see a dud unless it wasn't a real Metropolitan or the ink was India ink or iron gall ink. There are Lamy Safari fakes and other similar pens sold on Amazon. I've had better luck buying at pen shows and from trusted retailers.

I just found this plotting library by JetBrains that has a grammar of graphics interface (like plotnine). This will make a nice alternative for matplotlib for my research.

Unusually high astonishment by Rust standards

Typically I'd make a pour over or espresso, but my A/C is out and I can't even think about hot coffee. What is your favorite way to make iced coffee in a Chemex? I've got light roasts from Costa Rica, Burundi, and Ethiopia right now.
