The BookLore Github:

Has a shelf of comics to see how reading on the server works:

It looks like I might be misremembering though, and there might not be a torrent search / download, just the OPDS server to download to a remote device on some client apps.

For downloads then looking at my docker compose it looks like I chose LazyLibrarian over bookshelf but I can’t tell you why.

I asked something similar (its just asking about ebooks) and some of the answers there may help:

I have notes for a follow up but I didn’t finish my testing and am still using mostly commercial options.

I think I didn’t find anything good for syncing between devices (unless own a kobo reader) but Calibre OPDS was workable as a server and both Booklore and Calibre Web had options for downloading but both have to deal with book torrents often not being available / bundled without the name and I think I liked Booklore more, but was going to go with Calibre Web since I thought I could share the library file (and I travel so for now my “server” is a virtual machine on my laptop that is often not running).

They weren’t my instances. There are some public instances floating around so, before trying to self host, I gave them a shot. I can’t remember the specifics well. For me to bother investing time testing, I may have had a query that was irritating me on Duck Duck Go and Google so it might not have been a particularly fair test

For anyone curious how well it works, I just noticed they have a trial:

Every SearXNG instance I’ve tested has been terrible for my test queries. Any chance you can account for that?

Wait “aren’t random” here means “to democrat states”? Or am I missing something when I scanned? If that’s what “aren’t random” means, how is it news? I was kind of curious to learn how they’d planned the order of states so far ahead of time

I disagree, the interior images are the ones that seem the most half baked to me. If you mean that the lunar images are similar to what we’ve seen before then I’ll agree.

Even with Starship being huge, floor area is still a massive win and leaving it under utilised like in the diagram seems really, really improbable. The area where the astronauts are sitting with the ladder down, seems unnecessarily hazardous. The fact the whole area is so bare makes sense for locking things up but I’ll be surprised if there aren’t some features, for example a circular locker in the middle or beds. I did have an issue with the chairs they are sitting on looking like foldout chairs and expecting a little more around them, but looking at the images of a dragon capsule they are surprisingly similar, its just that with the dragon being smaller its not as obvious how minimal they are.

It just seems like they rushed to put together an image and haven’t thought through or discussed what’s useful in the mission enough to bother with a layout

Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of the renderings. They seem to not really show much besides an artists rendition and seem more a response to recent political pressure than a decent update, at least to me

They’d be doing an enterprise install but here’s the gitlab readme for the open desk community edition and with links for a Kubernetes installation:

Most authoritarian regimes consolidate power through improving the economy and high approval don’t they? I thought the collapse tends to come later after the consolatio and I hadn’t seen it argued as a strategic thing. Any chance you can point to something that discusses this more fully?

I’d be curious to see that with dosage. Like maybe they’re just more sensitive to caffeine than originally expected, kind of how humans were way more sensitive to LSD than expected. But also, the effects of LSD in humans seem to plateau unlike alcohol, it would be interesting to see if the caffeine web is the spider falling off a metaphorical cliff

Oh wow, it looks like I upset a surprising number of people. Median income at Microsoft is 200k or 94th percentile for the US. Who is reading this and downvoting because someone at Microsoft really might become homeless if they try to work somewhere that more aligns with their ethics?

Agreed they’re both old and politician would ideally be younger but Trump has a very unique way of speaking that includes delusional, narcissistic, hateful and inaccurate content. There is no way that swapping out like that isn’t recognisable. You seem to be clutching at an idea

That’s what I meant by “wouldn’t hold up in court”. Thanks for filling in the specifics. I wish it wasn’t classified as fair us, I think its an unfortunate way to avoid paying people for training data and that’s hiding the true cost of the system

Its a shame there is no license that forbids AI use. Well, there kind of are but none are common and probably wouldn’t hold up in court. Still, it would be nice to attach to work and communicate that the preference is to not have AI reuse

I would guess that either the author at popular mechanics just found it / just dug it out of their reading list or one of the authors of the paper reached out as part of promoting their research?

I think a year ago as someone learning biology from Khan Academy and reading about endosymbiosis and reading what I could about LUCA theories with some chemistry background then whats written here just seems like a likely possibility. The paper doesn’t seem like strong evidence and it seems like there is a lot of guess work for early life. The teams making artificial cells are doing interesting, scary work there.

But I’m no expert here, I was just pointing out the source material and a summary

Oh, I don’t have epilepsy so I’m not avoiding YouTube because of this filter, I’m avoiding YouTube because of the money Google keeps giving to Trump and because I noticed that my tech usage isn’t very diversified and it was pretty pretty dominated by US companies (so if you imagine trade war negotiating leverage, I was giving the Trump administration more leverage). From that perspective, it removes ad revenue which is about all you can do with YouTube besides trying to convince creators to put their videos on multiple platforms (and it’s questionable there is a good alternative platform)

Downvoted.

This article points to another article:

https://phys.org/news/2024-12-genetic-code-textbook-version.html

And this article points to the study:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2410311121

The phys.org article is decent, unlike the one linked in the OP, but the information isn’t as huge as the title would suggest. The core of it is basically these two paragraphs:

The study revealed that early life preferred smaller amino acid molecules over larger and more complex ones, which were added later, while amino acids that bind to metals joined in much earlier than previously thought. Finally, the team discovered that today’s genetic code likely came after other codes that have since gone extinct.

The authors argue that the current understanding of how the code evolved is flawed because it relies on misleading laboratory experiments rather than evolutionary evidence

I think most modern biologists would agree this was probable even if it wasn’t codified yet

Let’s run with this. What are some political examples of “left”?
