As if Windows 11 worked in 8 GiB, really... mine uses 9 freshly booted, let alone doing something useful.

With Linux I'm sure it works well for light work, but not with Windows!

You can run it just fine if you have enough RAM. In this case that would be a 256 GiB system, of witch 231 GiB will be used to run the model. You don't need a GPU, but you need fast memory. ollama generates about one token (1 word +/-) for each time is scans the entire model's memory. It's more bound to memory performance than to CPU / GPU performance. GPUs have much faster memory, but less memory typically, but server processors with fast DDR5 and 8 or 12 channels should work just fine also. For smaller models you need less RAM, of course. There are 40 GiB and 4.7 GiB versions which you can run on your laptop quite easily, if you have 64 GiB or even 8 GiB RAM.

Obviously, they decide! Given how advanced they must be to travel here, I doubt our opinion matters, including on what we do next.

Portugal does it already also, since two years ago. ID card, Driving License, and a few other documents, in a Android/IOS app. The app also generates QR codes traceable to a government online service so that another user of the app can verify the authenticity of the document in a centralized fashion, so it's basically impossible to falsify the document.

In Portuguese the word is "chá" and originated in Macau. That does not match the article theory: it came through sea trade, at least in that case.

PS: Sorry, it's called "Equestrianism" in english, sorry :P

None of the equestrian disciplines are segregated by sex as far as I know...

Hippism is not segregated, as far as I know, and is an olympic sport...

Just use Baidu or Yandex or another search engine..., it's a multipartite world, choose your poison :)

The decision is effectively unenforcable globally. For example, baidu is great for searching google-MPAA-censored content, etc.

I solved those issues long ago by behaving in the same way for all social circles. I've set for myself what I think are acceptable and honorable behavior patterns and abide by them always. Take it, or just leave me alone, it's that simple. That includes my friends, co-workers, parents, and just about anyone I know. It means I have to restrict myself a bit, but it also means I'm essentially a better person.

PS: yes, some persons don't like it, but they are a tiny minority.

Actually since this is a near diffraction limited lens working at f/2.4 the spot size is going to be about 0.56um * 2.4 ~ 1.344um on the focal plane. The cycle size is about double, or 2.688um.

Considering it uses a Bayer array, and the pixels are spaced at 1.4um, the green pixels will be spaced at 2um (minimum distance to next green pixel). To properly sample you need at least 2 pixels per cycle (said Mr. Nyquist), but since pixels are not exactly points (they have an area) astronomers working in diffraction limited imaging advise 3x sampling in practice.

What this means is you would need a pixel size of 2.688/3/sqrt(2) ~ 0.63um (or 0.9um if using a Foven-style sensor) to properly sample this lens. 1.4um vastly undersamples the lens, as can be seen near the central area in the available samples: they are razor sharp in the central area, and otherwise are limited by aberrations.

A practical article describing this, with example images, can be seen here:

In the few programs I've made that had to be secure, by all means, bugs in the specification were found, years later, that allowed system compromise. Assumptions were made about other systems (that allowed us to authenticate users, validate user-classes, etc) that were false under some circumstances, for example, making a break-in possible even if the core itself was not buggy in itself. It would, essentially, maintain it's integrity but be fooled by others...

This is just like in cryptography: a secure algorithm does not guarantee whole system security.

Still a great achievement!

IMHO most persons are "religious" because they fear death to begin with and can't accept they are limited in space and time.

Non religious (does not mean atheists) guys tend to accept their condition and see death as perfectly natural and nothing special. they learned to live with it as part of their non-reliousity.
