He’s referring to the working conditions.

It’s a management decision. Even if the responsible developer left, the next in line would take up the job. We work for a living and there is little choice in ethical companies you can join for adequate pay.

All

We could just install some heat pumps in hell and transport the energy via flux pipeline to the overworld.

That sounds too close to Schutzstaffel to me (SS)

That would depend in the degree of blur. If it is the average blur you’d have in japanese pornography, then no, that tech does not exist. Super resolution is good, but not that good.

And no, I have not tried.

All of them at once while saying the words.

Thanks, that gives me some room for thought! I haven’t tried auto shift yet, so I don’t know whether it works for German.

Layers are fine, but I did not yet find the right keys to access those layers. I’m not sure whether I want my shift and ctrl be located on my thumb or pinky keys. I would like my layer switch keys to be on the thumb keys, but then I have to put them there along with shift and ctrl with click, hold, and double click allocations. That is too complicated though.

I’m kind of missing the accessibility of keys on a standard keyboard, but I like the efficiency I can type regular letters on the Piantor.

I haven’t tried home row mods yet.

How do you assign and use special keys? I see I need them frequently, but I have not yet found a way to access them easily on other layers.

So far that is the only reason that keeps me from using my new Piantor.

This needs more visibility

Yup. A container i slow to rebuild, but at least the most robust. This is my preferred way to share python code when there are system dependencies involved.

It actually is almost as instant as you would expect

I like the pyproject.yaml, but checking dependencies with poetry takes 5 to 10 minutes for my projects.

Tbh, I’m always ending up having issues using poetry and conda. I prefer using penv and pip.

Thanks, I didn’t know!

There are really only two search engines. Its either Google or Bing. The others exist, but they use Google’s and/or Bing’s search results.

I would argue that Germany is not a socialist country. Politics are targeted at the already wealthy and cooperations.

I’m not versed enough in politics and history to give detailed examples. I’m just a normal guy. However, I’m currently listening to the Jung & Naiv podcast on Spotify.

In episode 661 they discuss the development of the housing sector since the 1950s and very little in the 18th century. The important information is that the housing sector grew from being socialist to being a housing market.

I think they mention that in the 50s there existed a “Kostenmiete” (Cost-rent). That would only be allowed by law to be as high as it needed to be to cover the costs for building the house/flat. The owners were not allowed to make profit exceeding 3.5%. Any profit had to be put into housing again to keep the housing sector growing. Around that time the state was heavily supporting housing unions and other groups (not cooperations) to build housing. The state itself built 500.000 !!! appartments a year. Last year the interview says they built 6 appartments. Six, in case you thought you read a typo.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least in the housing market we are not socialist anymore and it becomes worse every year. Education becomes worse every year. The medical sector becomes worse every year. Public transport becomes worse every year. Loans do not keep up with inflation. Everything becomes more expensive.

Yes, we are better off than many. But are we not just richer slaves with more benefits than others? The interview says that there exist studies that estimate 11 million households to qualify for social housing. In some cities that is 60% of their population. 60% quality for social housing. Are we alright?

As a German, I think I would. Given that it is good and just.

Following up on the other comment.

The issue is that widely available speech models are not yet offering the quality that is technically possible. That is probably why you think we’re not there yet. But we are.

Oh, I’m looking forward to just translate a whole audiobook into my native language and any speaking style I like.

Okay, perhaps we would still have difficulties with made up fantasy words or words from foreign languages with little training data.

Mind, this is already possible. It’s just that I don’t have access to this technology. I sincerely hope that there will be no gatekeeping to the training data, such that we can train such models ourselves.
