Off-and-on trying out an account over at @tal@oleo.cafe due to scraping bots bogging down lemmy.today to the point of near-unusability.
When your laptop is sleeping, it can't be doing computation. I mean, that's not specific to LLMs. You're going to have to set it in your OS to not sleep if you want to remotely access it, or to sleep under conditions that don't arise for you (e.g. "don't sleep if the lid is closed while the laptop is plugged in" or whatever).
The only exception I can think of would be if you (a) have it connected to wired Ethernet and (b) the laptop can do Wake-on-LAN; in that scenario, you could rig something up where it wakes up when something tries to contact it. In practice, you probably just don't want to have it sleeping.
If you're talking about the Lemmy Web UI and the list of languages that you want to see posts in, hold Control while clicking multiple items in the list. That's a long-standing GUI convention for selecting multiple items in a list; it'll work in other software too.
EDIT: That did make me curious how mobile browsers handle multiple select lists, since a soft keyboard won't let you hold a key at the same time as you're tapping in the webpage portion of the screen, and not all mobile users are going to have a physical keyboard attached. It looks like Firefox for Android just pops up a list with checkboxes as soon as you tap on a multiple select list:

I think that the major selling point of Notepad is that it's installed everywhere already.
I haven't read it in forever, and I took a look and...yeah, I have to agree with you on both the art and the writing.
Well...it is kind of hard to keep cranking out hits every day for decades on end, I guess...
Early_riser, if you want your next post to be "How did you feel when you heard that tal won the lottery?" I'm okay with that.
I use Eternity. It hasn't been getting a lot of development, but it doesn't really need anything that I'm aware of.
If I were picking one that's getting a lot of development, I'd probably look at Interstellar. It's less mature --- it's not a port of a Reddit app --- but it works with all of Mbin/Lemmy/Piefed. I use it when I want to talk to a Piefed server from an Android device.
I mean, yeah, just saying that if lots of people want it done, it's probably gonna be more-efficient to take that route. Like tinting windows or other popular aftermarket modifications.
The computer has determined that you require listening to some soothing music.
If there's enough demand, I imagine that there will be shops that will do it without individuals having to research it.
"Popular web cartoonist has secret double life as popular web cartoonist."
Children and young people want spaces for social interaction without adult supervision. They will in any case find other places to interact, and companies will develop new services that do not formally fall under the category of “social media”. The alternatives are not necessarily better.
I mean, I've made the "there are fundamental enforceability issues" point myself, but I suppose that for some politicians, if there's enough public demand for censorship, it's easier to just engage in whatever theater is required to show that they're being responsive to public concerns.
Committee assignments are granted by seniority, so it's advantageous to have legislators with a lot of seniority.
In the Senate, West Virginia had Robert Byrd for basically forever --- he was the longest-serving senator in American history, died in office --- and so he got to lead the Appropriations Committee, which gets to direct money places, which is a pretty desirable spot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd
Robert Carlyle Byrd (born Cornelius Calvin Sale Jr.; November 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010) was an American politician who served as a United States senator from West Virginia for over 51 years, from 1959 until his death in 2010. A Democrat, Byrd also served as a U.S. representative for six years, from 1953 until 1959. He remains the longest-serving U.S. senator in history; he was the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress[1][2][3][4] until surpassed by Representative John Dingell of Michigan.
Byrd became West Virginia’s Senior Senator in 1985 following the retirement of Jennings Randolph. He served three different tenures as chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations, which enabled Byrd to steer a great deal of federal money toward projects in West Virginia.[9] Critics derided his efforts as pork barrel spending,[10] while Byrd argued that the many federal projects he worked to bring to West Virginia represented progress for the people of his state.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seniority_in_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives
Committee leadership in the House is often associated with seniority, especially in the Democratic Caucus. The Republican leadership, in comparison with the Democratic Party, prioritizes voting records and campaign fundraising over seniority for committee leadership.[2] Party leadership in the House is not strictly associated with seniority.
The more senior a representative is, the more likely the representative is to receive desirable committee assignments or leadership posts.
I remember when we discovered that militants in Afghanistan were monitoring Predator video feeds because apparently nobody had ever put in a requirement that the video stream be encrypted.
Militants in Iraq and Afghanistan have intercepted live video feeds from unmanned U.S. Predator drones using $26 off the shelf software made by a Russian company, says a report in the Wall Street Journal.

A team of Australian scientists have cooked up a new AI-driven camera system that can detect whether you are too drunk to drive a vehicle.
But the project isn’t quite ready for wide use with only 75 percent accuracy, according to the researchers out of Edith Cowan University in Western Australia, who had presented this camera project at a computer vision conference earlier this year.
Should be interesting.
I think that one of the major problems isn't even the zombies as such, but the collapse of infrastructure that we rely on to maintain our current populations. Transportation and associated trade. Electrical power. Fuel. Fertilizer.
Like, even if you omitted zombies from the equation and took those away, the population that could be supported is probably a whole lot lower than the present population. Pre-industrial societies were not very populous compared to current ones.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity
The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum population size of a biological species that can be sustained by that specific environment, given the food, habitat, water, and other resources available. The carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load,[clarification needed] which in population ecology corresponds to the population equilibrium, when the number of deaths in a population equals the number of births (as well as immigration and emigration)
Human carrying capacity is a function of how people live and the technology at their disposal. The two great economic revolutions that marked human history up to 1900—the agricultural and industrial revolutions—greatly increased the Earth's human carrying capacity, allowing human population to grow from 5 to 10 million people in 10,000 BCE to 1.5 billion in 1900.[47] The immense technological improvements of the past 100 years—in applied chemistry, physics, computing, genetic engineering, and more—have further increased Earth's human carrying capacity, at least in the short term. Without the Haber-Bosch process for fixing nitrogen, modern agriculture could not support 8 billion people.[48] Without the Green Revolution of the 1950s and 60s, famine might have culled large numbers of people in poorer countries during the last three decades of the twentieth century.[49]
I think that in general, the problem with water barriers is that they work well on humans, who need to breathe. But, depending upon the type of zombie universe in question, zombies may not. They may be able to just walk along the bottom.
EDIT: And one other complication for the zombie apocalypse survivor who wants to set up near large, accessible sources of freshwater:

i. (U) Zombies do not drink water, but humans do. Humans typically cannot survive longer than 10 days without fresh water. Zombies will likely be drawn to potable water sources by the presence of human food sources that zombies prey on.
I don't know, but my first search turns up this, which looks like the cable in question.

If that's the right cable, it has gauge and connector data.
I mean, Nintendo probably does benefit, but I can't see how there's a case here.
The government does have an obligation not to impose illegal tariffs on importers.
Nintendo doesn't have a legal obligation not to raise prices. They, as with pretty much any vendor, can charge whatever they want. You can't win a court case unless they did something illegal.
What limits them from doing that is that they'll lose sales, especially if competitors don't.
Companies could have gambled on the tariffs being overturned in court (as they were) and eating the losses with the hopes of recovering them later. That's a risk, but some companies did do that. They benefited from gaining sales from their competitors. Nintendo didn't take that route; they probably lost sales, but they also avoided the issue of taking losses on a per-sale basis.
EDIT: Well...okay, if you could show that Nintendo tried to get the tariffs imposed and then overturned as some sort of intentional mechanism to cause many vendors to increase prices without incurring actual costs to themselves --- which I am confident that they didn't do, but using it as a hypothetical --- you could maybe make some kind of antitrust case on price-fixing. But it doesn't sound like that's what the lawsuit is claiming, and in any event, what would be illegal there wouldn't be collecting the refunds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%2C_Ukraine
New York or Niu-York[a] is a rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.
Despite this, Russian forces were able to capture New York by the end of September.
The headlines get progressively more surreal.
As I said before, though, I think that Russia aiding Iran probably has more potential here from Ukraine's standpoint.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_in_the_2026_Iran_war
Russia's role in the war focused on intelligence sharing and logistical aid, avoiding direct combat to prevent straining its resources amid the Ukraine conflict. U.S. officials reported that Moscow supplied Iran with real-time data on American warships and aircraft, enabling more precise retaliatory strikes.[2] This assistance included satellite feeds from Russian assets, which helped Iran monitor U.S. movements in the Middle East.[3]
If Iran had, shortly thereafter, successfully dropped an anti-ship missile on a US carrier, I expect that that'd be excellent news for Ukraine.
Nope, sorry. Also, based on the WP article, apparently there's now a wireless variant of Wake-on-LAN that I'd never heard of until now (again, assuming that the wireless chipset and the system supports it).
