Me reading about nonlinear dynamical systems 💀

Tbh if you just want to get started making music, you can hack it without theory. Theory will make you a more creative composer, but IMO don’t make it a strict prerequisite.

9.8 Staging currently. I’m on Debian, but I get WINE from the WineHQ repo.

Not the ideal way to do it, but I literally just pirated the game [1] and installed it as a Windows application with stock WINE-staging. I then installed Vortex as a Windows application with stock WINE, installed some mods, and played some modded FNV on Linux. It played just as well on Linux as it did on Windows even with all the mods.

Point being, the way that worked best for me was to just treat it and all its mods as a Windows application and let stock WINE handle it for me.

[1] I purchased the game on Steam but I couldn’t be arsed to find the Windows executables or get it to work with Steam and Proton.

Look closely at the map: the water is in the country labeled Atlantic Ocean.

Do any one of these for real and I’ll vote for him. But I have my doubts…

Thanks for replying. It sounds like you basically get two (or some number well below one keys per character) keys and the set of possible characters gets somehow distributed between the two “real” keys, then the keyboard uses a predictive algorithm based on previous input to guess which keys were meant to be pressed.

IMO I’d be willing to try out an implementation of such an idea so long as I could run the predictive algorithm locally on my phone. I do think that current autocorrect + predicting which keys were pressed would require a lot more training data than just a generic autocorrect to get it working sensibly, and I think it would take a lot longer to converge to the user’s “style” if it ever does.

What is a QAZWSX keyboard (couldn’t figure it out by web search), and what does keyboard layout have to do with machine learning? I’m genuinely curious.

Only one way to find out

For anyone wondering, this is from /r/photoshopbattles. Excellent shitpost.

I mean how else are you supposed to unclog your cock?

But like seriously, I have absolutely no idea what is going on with these images. Like bare-minimum context.

Would be great for me and others who have trouble with body language. I could deepfake a version of myself with neurotypical body language and offload the effort of “acting normal” to the AI for interviews and video calls. Genuinely I’m super pumped for this.

Brown pill so that I can force any set to be compact and make math like 69% easier.

Nope. I have texture issues with denim.

Understood, although I have had good luck with either using the Flatpak or installing the .deb distributed by the app developer for packages where the Debian version is too old.

But like…yeah, that’s kinda it IMO. None of the distros come out of the box absolutely perfect for me and my use case, but Debian is close enough, well-documented enough, and flexible enough to be configured into a “perfect distro”. I haven’t really had a reason to distro-hop on any of the systems I installed Debian on.
