Remember when every American boasted about being part Irish/Scandinavian/French/Italian/Spanish etc. Actors used to love doing it in their bio, and the average American would do too.

No one does now. Why?

With no more nationality by birthright currently (though completely unconstitutional), then most every person is a child of two immigrants at some point, so ICE should be disappearing them.

And that South African white guy has said he was an illegal immigrant so he could be quickly disappeared. Everyone needs to make a report to ICE about him. As he's still in the country, then every immigrant could come clean and publicly announce their illegal status and would be ok, right...Right?

I'm not American so have given up trying to understand the actions of a mad man. Watching White House meetings with Trump and his ~~senior advisors~~ sycophants is funny. It must be really scary for the leaders of other countries trying to make sense of it all.

I remember some time ago installing an app that allowed me to film in the background whilst having another app open on top. I believe this was from f-droid. I actually have a legitimate use for this.

Could someone please suggest its name if they know, either from f-droid or a decent (trustworthy) app from the play store please.

So Ayumu is a chimp, child of Ai and they participate in the Ai project. There are several mother / child pairs that have been studied for short-term memory ability.

I'm sure lots have already seen the video of ayumu being presented with numbers in random places around a screen and then being able to press where the numbers were in sequence at blazing speeds and did it better than the mother.

But Ayumu also did it better than all the other chimps and when compared to humans, humans did the task better to the chimps, but Ayumu's speed is outstanding and they don't know why.

So, here's a hot take, could Ayumu just be autistic, and excel at such tasks?

It can remember specific, targeted things about you that perhaps tracking from cookies couldn't easily detect from you. I think the free AIs will exploit everything you type into it and deliver specific targeted advertisements for products instead perhaps of giving longer, more useful explanations.

Around the time / maybe just before OpenAI wanted to become a profit-driven company, it implemented memory, obviously for a specific reason!

Thoughts?

With the country getting hotter, the ground underneath most houses in London will be drying out and becoming softer due to clay soil shrink-swell, leading to a massive increase in insurance claims for subsidence.

No one will want to buy a house with known subsidence because insurance normally only covers repairs for subsidence if it wasn't mentioned in the original survey report.

This is going to mean a huge reduction in houses prices all around London as they try to offload their houses that will need remedial action undertaking to prevent damage to the house.

This page shows a map of how London is going to be affected.

Most susceptible are properties in the highly-populated London areas, particularly in northern and central London boroughs, and Kent in the South East. Projections suggest that the number of properties in London likely to be affected by climate will rise from 20 per cent in 1990, to 43 per cent by 2030, and almost 3 times 1990 values (57 per cent) by 2070.

It's a shame when specific channels die that sh/would do well. So, let's start posting again in /c/symfony and get some activity going again!

Pulling the laptop apart was uneventful without anything flying across the room or those fiddly small connectors - which I can barely see - snapping, removing and slapping in the new GPU was just six screws and a bit of thermal paste, and when it was all screwed back together, I didn’t even have any screws left over. Switching on and debian detected it happily, nvidia-smi and nvidia-detect were happy, and apt just installed the nvidia-driver without fuss.

Other than a loud snapping noise now made when the laptop is closed and hooks into the catch thing (perhaps it should always have been like this), it was quite dull and boring really.

I haven't kept up with all the news about this, so is there a definitive yes or no answer that Mozilla sells or even shares user information with partners such as Google? Google is paying Mozilla for something.

What are you currently working on with laravel?

I'm in the UK and looking to switch over to a UK host provider. Can anyone recommend IONOS for the uk? I'm considering a fairly low-spec VPS. Even with VAT, their prices will be about 3/4 of what I'm currently paying.

Can anyone recommend decent UK hosting, VPS. 2 GB RAM, single core will be fine 30+GB storage, and PCI-DSS compliant for future business needs. Free backups would be a bonus!
