They're overpaying for them. Which then makes companies calculate "we could sell a lot of product at small profit margins to the general vegetarian and flexi public" vs. "we could not invest in production capacity and charge affluent urban vegans and arm and a leg" and guess what they're going for.

The reason why there's tons of almond etc. milks costing 3-4 times as much per litre as actual milk is not because of subsidies. It's because vegans are stupid enough to buy 20 cents of ingredients for that price.

Last I checked making a statement stating that you're confused about something counts, semantically, as a question. No question mark needed.

But, fine, if you don't want to tell me you don't have to. I'm able to contain my curiosity. Certainly can't put my ID, driver's license, cash, and a hair tie into my phone. Nor, for that matter, put my phone into an ATM.

I'm confused why would you need a phone to pay via NFC. All you need is your card.

You're still putting complete trust into Google by using any android that isn't thoroughly de-googled, built from scratch, and installed on a jailbroken phone. They're integrated on the OS level they can do whatever they want.

Also, you need a supported card. I have a potato going by the name RX 5500, not on the supported list. I have the choice between three rocm versions:

  1. An age-old prebuilt, generally works, occasionally crashes the graphics driver, unrecoverably so... Linux tries to re-initialise everything but that fails, it needs a proper reset. I do need to tell it to pretend I have a different card.
  2. A custom-built one, which I fished out of a docker image I found on the net because I can't be arsed to build that behemoth. It's dog-slow, due to using all generic code and no specialised kernels.
  3. A newer prebuilt, any. Works fine for some, or should I say, very few workloads (mostly just BLAS stuff), otherwise it simply hangs. Presumably because they updated the kernels and now they're using instructions that my card doesn't have.

#1 is what I'm actually using. I can deal with a random crash every other day to every other week or so.

It really would not take much work for them to have a fourth version: One that's not "supported-supported" but "we're making sure this things runs": Current rocm code, use kernels you write for other cards if they happen to work, generic code otherwise.

Seriously, rocm is making me consider Intel cards. Price/performance is decent, plenty of VRAM (at least for its class), and apparently their API support is actually great. I don't need cuda or rocm after all what I need is pytorch.

The second operation, carried out by the internet access providers at Hadopi’s request, consists, inter alia, of matching the IP address with the civil identity data of its holder.

Which just opens more questions: How long are ISPs allowed/required to store customer IPs, and then what happens if I have an open wifi: Can they just assume that I did it or declare me responsible anyway, that is, is it possible for a private individual to enjoy ISP privileges?

Because allow/blocklist are just as old if not even older and are way clearer terminology.

"white" and "black" there are metaphors, the "master" in git branches and SCSI isn't.

See at some point you have to ask yourself the question whether you'd be opposed to the change if blue-haired college students really into performative politics weren't a thing. Imagine the idea coming from your slightly computer-illiterate 60yold shop floor boss saying "I don't want to think about the terms here, I want to do CAD/CAM. Speak English, whippersnapper".

The false positive problem actually works in favour of the dogs, here: Their noses are excellent they know exactly whether there's drugs there or not. They also know that the humans can't tell so it's easy to get a treat regardless. And they also know to not overdo it.

Even more complicated are cats, figures that they are by and large uninterested in being studied or proving anything to you.

Dogs are way more intelligent than that. LLM tech is basically a way to quickly breed fruit flies to fly right or left when they see a particular pattern.

The best non-DSM category for socio/psychopath I've come across is the lack of affective empathy, but intact cognitive empathy. (non-DSM because that's just symptom clusters not aetiologies, you quite literally need to have broken laws to be diagnosed with ASPD). Then you have a look at what skills are useful to have as a surgeon, like not flinching when you cut into people, and their character traits including their bedside manners, yep there's plenty of perfectly integrated psychopaths around. Same goes for pyromaniacs fire departments are full of them, you only ever hear about the ones who don't get the curve.
