Interesting take, especially the observation of economic stability vs. military applicants. Thanks for writing it.

FreeCAD@lemmy.ml•FreeCAD 1.1 is Finally HERE — It’s a GAME CHANGER ! (Major Updates you missed)
5·19 days agoYes, that’s roughly the conclusion I arrived at myself.
I’d prefer them to be transparent about it, though. I’ve seen comments on the videos along the lines of “glad you found the courage to do the voice overs yourself despite your French,” but no clarification in response or statement anywhere that I’ve seen. It’s one thing if it is obvious, like in the past; another if you really can’t tell anymore.

4·19 days agoOkay yeah, the French voice appeared 9 months ago, with this video being the last one with a very different voice. From then on it’s the French guy, but they were changing it around a bit before.
The videos are still pretty good and clearly made with intent, but I feel conflicted about the voice.

9·19 days agoYay FreeCAD 1.1! 🎉 Looking really good. Seems the devs saved a few significant surprises for the final release that weren’t obvious in the release candidates.
On a different note: Is Deltahedra AI voiced? They used to make obvious TTS videos, but there was a switch at some point and now the videos have impeccable English with a stereotypical French accent (too perfect, maybe, both the English and the accent?), and then there are certain words where they jump between two pronunciations (e.g., fillet and filet).
Does anybody know? I can’t tell anymore.
Shows what a bloody civilian knows.
How do you interpret the graph? Or does it just mean “the military can’t afford to have hiring standards anymore?” And does that result in worse soldiers or more loose cannons (i.e., problematic personality profiles), or I suppose that’s probably the same thing?
I might be out of line, but I’d go as far as calling it wet.

2·19 days agoI got curious and looked up typical bill lifespans. Highest circulation for $10, it seems. source

So they take absolutely everybody they can get nowadays. What would be an explanation for the previous divide? I never pictured the military to be a job that you could apply and be turned down…
Looks like a switching regulator. Why there are two of them I don’t know, but all those electrolytic caps, inductors, and beefy diodes around there are very telling.
The fuse is labeled as PTC so should be a resetting type that does not destroy itself on overload.
If the problem was indeed a bug shorting out the IC itself you probably have a good chance of getting it back by just replacing the IC, if you can identify it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OSEnglish
271·1 month agoI forget, was it Win10 that was supposed to be the last version of Windows ever?
I’d say you are one without the silly gadgets.
Says “kernel runs just like any other program” and proceeds to launch a VM to run it, because it would “mess up the system” otherwise. I liked the article, but it feels like it’s leaving out the critical piece.
Who’s trying to keep selfhosting from anyone? Did I miss something?
Sure thing. It’s a different approach but could work well for this. Plus, you might end up with a knowledge management system on your hands as an added bonus.
I think you could replicate this in silverbullet.md. One file per entry, with frontmatter for the fields (you can create a template for that) and then one file with a query table as overview. Not sure if query tables display images, though.
Edit: Should work with image path in frontmatter and a query and a render template.

Github Actions really are horrible to work with. If I could spin up a container and test the commands on the fly that would make things so much easier. But having to do the commit push refresh webpage insanity every time… It is really cool when the pipeline works, but getting there is very painful.

I’ll piggyback onto this question: With the models you use, how do they compare to current models from the big players?
