2024.06.01 16:18 Used_Spread_7610 Norwegian speakers in Madison?

Are there any Norwegian native speakers in Madison willing to hang out and speak Norwegian at a cafe or bar or while going for a walk? Maybe form a Norwegian language club? Fifteen years ago I tried teaching myself Norwegian but don't get a lot of practice. Obviously this is also an excuse to socialize while learning a new language.
Also would be interested in meeting with any native speakers of Russian or Malay.
About me: engaged, cisman, late 30s, left-leaning, software developer who loves cats and Age of Empires II and IV.

2024.06.01 16:16 Dramafia Renaissance Fair Accessory Ideas to print?

I'm joining the Ren Faire as a Tinker for the entire run at the end of the summer. (My First.) I started searching cogs and gears to purchase as accessories for my cart and clothes, until I turned around and saw my Rostock Max V3 staring at me through a shameful amount of dust.
This may be too niche for this already niche group... (Who am I kidding? Both groups grow by the minute)...But besides gears, I'm a bit daunted trying to come up with more ideas of pieces to adorn my cart and/or garb.
The only other thing I had a thought to work on was modeling a mushroom art piece made to look like pieced-together metal to add a hippy/gnome style.
I am relatively proficient in 3D modeling, but could definitely use some practice if need be. I mostly work on set designs for theatre and woodworking projects. I'm hoping this will help expand my skills a bit.
****Picky Parameters:
I don't have a desire to make chainmail. I'm a mongetraveling salesman/engineer, essentially. Not a fighter. I'll see PLENTY of 3d printed chainmail walking around. I always complement it when spotted.
I'm also not going the steampunk route. I think with enough gadgets and trinkets and engineering doohickeys some bleed-over into a steampunk aesthetic is inevitable, however I'm hoping to not lean too much into greebly or something like lazer pistol.
So long story long;
TL;DR:
Seeking printing/modeling ideas to accessorize a Tinker Cart & Costume for the Renaissance Faire. Metals/Woods to be the finish.

2024.06.01 16:12 Mean_Lawyer7088 Easy build switch possible?

Hey everyone,
Does anyone here use two different Kodi builds? If so, do you have any best practices for setting them up?
Here’s my situation and the reason for my question:
I currently have the luxury problem of having two builds that I really like. One build is optimized for FEN and other streaming sources, providing high-quality content for movies and TV shows. The other build is customized for my native language, with widgets specifically set up for sources in my language, including many open-source providers, media libraries, and IPTV channels.
I typically use the first build, but when I have friends over who aren't fluent in English, I'd like to switch to the second build. Any advice on how to manage this efficiently while using Kodi?

2024.06.01 16:01 ct_hulhu10282 Cephs and genesis

Cephalapod Genesis
The pharoah ejaculated into the river and in the sand the sperm found refuge and grew into papyrus. This an example of genesis.
Vampyrapods are the first intelligent species to live on this planet predating the dinosaurs. They came here somehow. They did not evolve on this planet. Perhaps just an ejaculated sperm from another being landing in the water. The direct offspring of this cephalapod is the modern octopus. Octopus are responsible for nearly every animal genesis on earth including humans and subsequently man made inventions and accomplishments. Octopus taught trees to fruit, destroyed the dinosaurs through becoming tapeworms, and even walked to the moon. Some of the animals you may recognize from the cellular genesis may have fused with the other local staples such as canine, equine, and feline, and reptile as well as temporarily the pachyderms in post-actualization causal genesis. This can be done by mating with, killing, eating, dying, being eaten, or simply a laying of hands or physical actions. Octopus only live for about 4.5 years of our relationship with time, but they have beaten death through a mix of telepathy and cannabalism. They've also mastered time travel. There are only 3 actual beings here. Others died in getting here and are fossilized. 2 males and 1 female survived. I call them Jack, Seth, and Claire. This is why the genesis had to completed this way as any direct offspring would not work. because theyve have infinite time to complete it, theyve walked over every inch of the planet and affected every species. In fact our own existence is simply the echo of the combined knowledge of the cephs. We are an amalgamation like the 'too much good stuff' guy from am/pm commercials. Make a bird with your hands. ¿Where are the beaks? The latest project is to use genetic science in order to bring back the mammoth and obtain a sixth digit from its feet. Should happen around 2027. When the vampyrapods first encountered life here it was eating their tentacles. So the first genesis occured in the offspring of those that ate of the tentacles. This is why modern cephs only have 8 limbs. The first language period is Enochian. A language of the eyes and limbs. Through different manipulation of limbs and eye fluctuations communication was made. After a while though telepathy became the established communication.
Here are some examples but not all of cephalapod genesis:
• Spiders (rare from trilobyte mix, had to go back in time to accomplish) (they had to avenge the original vampyrapods from being eaten from early organisms, thisnis how scorpions were able to evolve) • Mango (foilage and ceph mix. Ceph hung from a tree upside down) • Star fruit (the tree missed the octopus and tempted it to return) • Pinecone ( the bite marks of ceph beak eating the fruit of the trees) • Toucan (the beak formation from ceph in flux probably consuming a failed aviary) • Peacock (feather formations still in flux from limbs partial fusion) • Salamander (reptile/chameleon mix) (skin breathing evolution) •Sloth (feline and foilage mix) • Mistletoe bird (octopus ate a mushroom) • Lyrebird (mirage, digitage, and aviary from peacock and pheasant. Mastered the art of sound mimickry to develop better auditory communications) • Dung beetle (rolling backwards the earth through time) • VW bug (trunk up front) (mirage, digitage, pachyderm mix) (invented higher than the model T but arrived later in time) • Goliath bird-eating tarantula ( set a web to catch a bird which did not exist fully until the web was cast. When the spider consumed the bird the psuedo cannabalistic action resulted in a poison tree frog) • Snakes (a ceph lost its mating limb for some reason in a mirage mix experiment) • venemous snakes (a snake ate the eggs of its own offspring)(the cursed dinosaur souls live inside these) • Gumby (using hands to mold clay made a show about being an octopus) • Chameleon (reptile, ceph, foilage, mirage mix)(a ceph was purposely eaten by a komodo dragon to telepathically send a reverse osmosis of its makeup inside its body to another ceph that was attempting to kill the dinosaurs in the past. How they programmed the tapeworm to destroy them)

2024.06.01 15:59 TonyChanYT Is cussing a sin?

u/Guided_Feather, u/_BiblicallyAccurate, u/Kool_McKool
By "cussing", I meant profanity or vulgar language. It involves using words or expressions considered socially or culturally inappropriate, offensive, or impolite. Cussing typically includes swear words, obscenities, or other strong language that may be deemed offensive or disrespectful.
Is cussing a sin?
I think so. NIV Colossians 3:
8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
BDAG αἰσχρολογία:
speech of a kind that is generally considered in poor taste, obscene speech, dirty talk
Obscene expressions would also be used to flavor derogatory remarks
2 Timothy 2:
16 Avoid such godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.
Matthew 5:
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Ephesians 4:
29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.
Focus on the positive words for building up instead of negative words for tearing down.
Jesus gave a warning in Matthew 12:
36 I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
I am not just advising this; I practice this. I didn't let my kids use words like "dang", "freaking", "shit", "fuck", etc. and when other people use these words, don't let these words affect you emotionally.
By nature, I have never cussed in my life in Chinese or English, even when I was a kid before I became a Christian. My parents and my teachers never taught me not to swear. I didn't feel the need for it. However, there were a few rare occasions in my adult life when I did swear because I lost control. I regretted every one of them immediately afterward.
Is it alright to listen to music with foul language?
I don't think so. Music affects your spirit.
Are you going to hell for cussing?
Cussing is not an unforgivable sin.

🕵️ Microsoft's Recall AI: Efficiency upgrade or privacy nightmare?

Microsoft has recently released Recall, a controversial AI-powered tool that logs everything you see and do on your computer, including app usage, live meeting communications, websites visited, and more. By simply performing a "Recall" action, users can retrieve any information they've interacted with on their device, presented in the context of a specific time period.
Microsoft assures users that the Recall index remains local and private on-device. Users can pause, stop, or delete captured content and can choose to exclude specific apps or websites. And Recall automatically excludes InPrivate web browsing sessions in Microsoft Edge and DRM-protected content.
Currently, Recall is exclusively compatible with new "Copilot Plus PCs" equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips, which feature the necessary neural processing unit (NPU).

🎧 AI-powered headphones let you listen to one person in a crowd

AI-powered headphones let you listen to one person in a crowd

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a groundbreaking artificial intelligence system called "Target Speech Hearing" that allows headphone wearers to isolate and listen to a single speaker in a noisy environment. By simply looking at the desired speaker for three to five seconds, the user can "enroll" them, and the system will cancel out all other sounds, playing only the enrolled speaker's voice in real-time, even as the listener moves around.
The proof-of-concept device, which uses off-the-shelf headphones fitted with microphones and an on-board embedded computer, builds upon the team's previous "semantic hearing" research. The system's ability to focus on the enrolled voice improves as the speaker continues talking, providing more training data. While currently limited to enrolling one speaker at a time and requiring a clear line of sight, the researchers are working to expand the system to earbuds and hearing aids in the future.

⚡ xAI’s supercomputer that’s 4x larger than existing GPU clusters

Elon Musk has recently disclosed plans to build a groundbreaking supercomputer to power the next iteration of xAI’s chatbot, Grok. According to a presentation made to investors in May, as reported by The Information, Musk aims to have this computing system operational by the fall of 2025. The ambitious project may involve a collaboration between xAI and Oracle to develop this massive computing infrastructure.
The proposed supercomputer will consist of interconnected clusters of Nvidia's state-of-the-art H100 graphics processing units (GPUs). Musk revealed that upon completion, the scale of this system will surpass the largest existing GPU clusters by at least fourfold!

🚨 Google AI Overview gives dangerous and wrong answers

Google's AI Overviews feature, which generates AI-powered responses to user queries, has been providing incorrect and sometimes bizarre answers.

🚀 GPT-4 is a better financial analyst than humans

In a groundbreaking study, researchers at the University of Chicago have discovered that GPT-4, a large language model, can analyze financial statements and predict future earnings direction with remarkable accuracy. Even without narrative context, GPT-4 outperforms human financial analysts and achieves prediction accuracy on par with state-of-the-art machine learning models.
The AI model's success is not simply a result of its training memory but rather its ability to generate valuable narrative insights about a company's future performance. Notably, trading strategies based on GPT-4's predictions yield higher returns and risk-adjusted performance than those based on other models, especially for small companies.

🔒 OpenAI forms an AI safety committee

OpenAI Board formed a Safety and Security Committee led by directors Bret Taylor, Adam D’Angelo, Nicole Seligman, and Sam Altman. Over the next 90 days, the committee will evaluate and further develop OpenAI’s processes and safeguards. Then, the committee will share its recommendations with the full Board.
Following the full Board’s review, OpenAI will publicly share an update on adopted recommendations. OpenAI has recently begun training its next frontier model, and the resulting systems from the Safety and Security team’s recommendation may bring it safely to the next level of capabilities on its path to AGI.

😲 Shocking details about Sam Altman's firing last year

Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner revealed shocking details about Sam Altman’s firing in November 2023. The board had found it difficult to trust Altman after he failed to disclose he owned the OpenAI Startup Fund, gave inaccurate information about the company's safety processes, and tried to push Toner off the board after she published a critical research paper. She claims the board found out about the launch of ChatGPT on Twitter, not from Altman.

Toner also pointed to Altman's history of being fired from previous jobs for "deceptive and chaotic behavior." (Find the full TED AI episode linked below.)
After Altman was initially fired, there was a lot of backlash from OpenAI employees who wanted him reinstated. A week later, he was reinstated as the CEO and a new board was formed.

🔄 Ex-OpenAI safety lead joins rival Anthropic to lead a new team

Jan Leike, a former co-head of the OpenAI safety team, has joined Anthropic to lead a new "superalignment" team. Leike left OpenAI earlier this month after the team he co-led, which focused on long-term AI safety risks, was dissolved.

2024.06.01 15:51 atra55 Assimilation, chapter 3

first previous
Memory transcription subject: Slanek, Venlil Space Corps
Date [standardized human time]: August 21, 2136
After the discovery of a new race of predators, and the announce that it was up to the Venlils to deal with them, I considered leaving the army. My brother had been killed by Arxurs mere months ago, and I doubted my mother would survive the loss of her two sons.
But in the end, I stayed, because I knew we wouldn’t succeed unless some Venlils showed bravery, and I wanted to be brave, to be more than a weak Venlil, to contribute to the war.
This was our chance to strike, to get rid of predators before they could threaten us. If we had such an opportunity with the Arxurs, I would have eagerly taken it, so why were the Humans any different?
The governor seemed, for some reason, not so enthusiastic, despite having met these hunters in the flesh. General Kam, on the other hand, was hellbent on getting rid of Humans ASAP. The Venlil were not renowned for their military, but he still managed to assemble a fleet of four thousand without weakening the front too much.
Half of the fleet’s crew was actually extermination officers, since our mission was to eliminate predators. They were a little impressive, to be honest. I wondered why exterminators aren’t more often used in military expeditions, but I guess they’re more needed back home?
At least I made a friend: Garn, an exterminator and tallest Venlil I’ve ever seen. He looks like he didn’t get the memo about Venlil being supposed to be weak. He was our instructor, briefing us on predator behavior, and found I stomached his presentation better than most.
We talked for a bit, and he told me I could perhaps become an exterminator if I wanted to leave the army, although I admitted I would probably seek a safer job. He acknowledged it would probably be better. The next days, it was my turn teaching him things, mainly about how things operate on a spaceship, what would be his role, and how to read a star map.
He was shocked by how close we were to Earth, or the fact that Venlil Prime was closer to Wriss than to Aafa. You’d think that this would be common knowledge, but the Venlil education system isn’t very thorough on astrography.
Yes, it had been some fun days, where I could avoid thinking about what was coming. Unfortunately, it was over. I was looking through the window of the ship, admiring Venlil Prime for what would hopefully not be the last time.
The mission was so simple on paper: Humans were underdeveloped, having only one confirmed ship, probably not much more in total. We jumped near Earth, maybe fight a small, one-sided space battle, dropped the bomb, and went back home. It would take two paws at most.
Yet I had this weird gut feeling, telling me that something wasn’t right, that something would go wrong. I talked about it to Garn, who was currently cleaning his flamethrower.
“You’re scared, even if you know we should win? That’s perfectly normal. You know, a trained and equipped exterminator is more powerful than most predators he will face.”
“Re… Really?”
“Yes, think about it: he has protective gear and a flamethrower, while the predator only has its natural strength. Yet, the exterminator will still be the one who is scared.”
“Why?”
“The fear of predators is an old instinct, from way before we had technology that could bridge the gap. It ignores rational logic.”
“But, what if I mess up because I’m too scared?”
“Being scared is normal, Slanek. You think bravery is not being scared? No! That’s predator disease. You’re braver than you think, Slanek. You’re going to be fine. What you need to do is overcome your fear. When it pushes you to flee, push back, and you’ll be able to face any predator.”
Having been comforted a bit by his words, I returned to my post. It was going to be fine. In just a few claws, we would reach Earth, drop the bombs, come back home, and celebrate. I would ask to retire from the military, which they won’t refuse because I’ll be a hero, and I would get a cozy civilian life.
Everything was going to be fine.
Memory transcription subject: [Error: could not identify a single subject]
The pilots have been training tirelessly, even in their dreams. It’s bad for their health, but they wouldn’t listen. The drones are coming along nicely, and the injectable chips are ready.
We had a lot of fun designing the look of our new military. It may be a little immoral, but that’s the truth.
There has been a lot of speculation on the Venlils, notably the fact that some signs clearly had several alphabets. The consensus is that Venlils speak different languages, just like Humans. Of course, Humans don’t need to speak anymore, but we still do it because it feels good.
We are so excited to get an alien species in our network! All the new knowledge, the new experiences, the new forms of art, it’s going to be so good!
Well, maybe they’ll all choose to not join. We doubt it though. But they’re very different from Humans. Yes, but the appeal of immortality and finally being truly understood is strong.
Well, we’ll see. But it’s true that almost all Humans were disgusted of joining, and then immediately seduced. Is ten years really immediate? Yes, on the scale of Human civilization.
Ho, something is happening. We should focus on that.

2024.06.01 15:49 khalixis any ideas how to do it?

Situation is: my family (my parents: my dad retired, and my mom a housewife, me: a college student, and my brother: junior high school student) is about to move out of my childhood house with my extended family for many many reasons.
Initially, I planned on moving out with them AFTER I graduated college and found a job stable enough to support the 4 of us. But I'm still in my first year of college, practically living off of my DOST scholarship. I wanted to take advantage of the return service to immediately secure a job especially since I study engineering in UP.
It just so happened that the move out was early by a couple of years, and my only source of income is my scholarship and my art.
I used to have art commissions for when I badly needed to buy something, but even then they were few and far between (mostly because I don't do marketing and I'm busy) It's not stable enough even after I quit my extra curriculars and focus on that.
I have some unpolished plans... And my parents are also trying to figure out a way to have a source of income in this new place.
Suggestions regarding my art career goes a long way (@createwithyza on socmeds for reference ). Commissioning me for something is much much appreciated !!
I really don't have any other priorities besides my family,, I do strive academically for them.

2024.06.01 15:44 Confident-Pin4427 The Unbeatable Security Benefits of Aluminum Shutters for Your Home - Shutters Design

The Ultimate Guide to Aluminium Shutters

When it comes to home security, one of the most effective measures you can take is installing high-quality shutters. Among the various options available, aluminium shutters stand out as a top choice for homeowners who prioritize safety, durability, and aesthetics. In this blog post, we’ll explore the many benefits of aluminium shutters and why they are an outstanding investment for your home security.

Why Choose Aluminium Shutters?

  1. Impenetrable Barrier
Aluminium shutters are crafted from robust architectural-grade aluminium, making them incredibly difficult for intruders to break or force open. This impenetrable barrier provides an extra layer of security, ensuring that your home is well-protected against potential break-ins. The sturdy design of aluminium shutters creates a formidable obstacle that deters even the most determined criminals.
  1. Advanced Tamper-Resistant Features
Many aluminium shutters come equipped with state-of-the-art locking mechanisms, such as the patented Italian Strip-Proof Lock. This innovative feature secures both the top and bottom of the shutters simultaneously with a double key turn, making it extremely challenging for burglars to bypass these security measures. These tamper-resistant features enhance the overall security of your home, giving you peace of mind.
  1. Visual Deterrent
The mere presence of aluminium shutters can act as a powerful visual deterrent to potential intruders. The solid and imposing appearance of these shutters sends a clear message that your home is well-protected. Burglars are often discouraged by the sight of such robust security measures and are more likely to move on to easier targets.
  1. Superior to Other Shutter Types
Compared to wooden shutters and other lightweight materials, aluminium shutters offer significantly better security. Wooden shutters can be more easily forced open or damaged, compromising their effectiveness. While steel shutters are also durable, they can be prone to corrosion over time and may not offer the same level of advanced tamper-resistant features as aluminium shutters.

Additional Benefits of Aluminium Shutters

Privacy and Noise Reduction
In addition to their security advantages, aluminium shutters provide excellent privacy by controlling the amount of visibility into your home. They also act as effective noise insulators, reducing external noise levels and creating a more peaceful living environment.
Energy Efficiency
Aluminium shutters are excellent insulators, helping to regulate indoor temperatures by blocking out excessive heat in the summer and retaining warmth during winter. This can lead to significant savings on energy costs for heating and cooling, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
Versatility and Customization
One of the great advantages of aluminium shutters is their versatility. They can be installed on windows, doors, patios, and other outdoor areas, offering flexible security solutions for your home. Available in a variety of styles, colours and finishes, aluminium shutters can be customized to complement your home’s aesthetic, enhancing both security and curb appeal.
Low Maintenance
Unlike wooden shutters, aluminium shutters are resistant to fading, cracking, and chipping. This durability means they require minimal upkeep, ensuring they maintain their attractive appearance and functionality over time.

Conclusion

Aluminium shutters are a superior choice for homeowners looking to enhance their home security. Their combination of impenetrability, advanced tamper-resistant features, and visual deterrence makes them an effective barrier against intruders. Additionally, their benefits in privacy, noise reduction, energy efficiency, versatility, and low maintenance make them a practical and stylish addition to any home.
Investing in aluminium shutters is a smart decision that offers unparalleled protection and peace of mind. With their unmatched durability and ability to deter intruders, these shutters provide a sense of safety that is truly invaluable. Enhance your home security today with aluminium shutters and enjoy the many benefits they bring.

2024.06.01 15:33 cusman78 Crazy Kung Fu on PSVR2 - First Impressions

I have uploaded gameplay from my fresh experience with the game here if you want to see how it looks / plays. My first impressions are shared below:
[]()
Based on my limited time with it, I do not recommend playing Crazy Kung Fu on the PSVR2.
It is a Kung Fu martial arts inspired fitness game where you punch, block and dodge using full body movement (including squats) in room-scale (minimally 2m x 2m) and your two hands. It provides multiple environments to choose from that are quick to unlock when you play the Train mode and it also has a variety of Braces and Masks available to unlock to customize your Avatar for use in competitive Multiplayer mode which does feature cross-play with other VR platforms.
Nearly all of your gameplay is against wooden polls with randomized rotating components. Your goal is to punch or block with good accuracy (timing & force) and dodge (squat or step back) all blades. You are shown your accuracy during play and more stats about your performance at the end of each level. You can play all levels on Apprentice or Expert. The game features ~70 levels across multiple game modes.
The multiplayer mode when I would try playing with my wife on PSVR2 from same home network would work fine (whether I host or she hosts), but would crash consistently at the end of any Round. When I played with other randoms (not PSVR2 players) available in public matchmaking lobbies, the game did not crash. I could join and play on their hosted room or create my own room until one of the randoms joins and it would work fine. There is no in-game voice chat for cross-play multiplayer but it provides you a menu board of canned messages you can send to other player like GG, Nice! etc. While playing multiplayer, it is the same game as Train, except you have random attacks you can send to other player. Playing multiplayer clears your calorie tracker for the day.
Graphics of the game are clear but not crisp which I take to mean lower-resolution. It is also using reprojection because if you move you can see heavy ghosting of any of the text that is displayed. This is disappointing for a game with such a simple art style. It should be running native 120 and higher resolution on the PSVR2.
Soundtrack and sound effects are one area that I think game is nailing. An improvement would be to have the configurable Shifu (18:30) be voiced so you don't have to look to see what feedback your Shifu (Master / Trainer) is giving for your gameplay.
Haptics is an area of missed opportunities. The game is using haptics but the most I felt was playing Wing Chun when your arms are touching the Dummy sticks (?) and it is just an on/off rumble rather than giving the kind of finer haptic feedback that I know the PS VR2 Sense controllers are capable of giving. There is also no haptic feedback in headset when you take damage (failed to dodge blade or got hit by arrow in multiplayer). Punches & Blocks have haptics but aren't conveying good vs weak hits like the audio/visual feedback is conveying. Although the virtual menu of the game is intuitive and easy to use, none of the interactions are providing that tactile haptic feedback.
The game does feature a Platinum trophy, but I expect that will stay at 0% or be one of the rarest for anyone that does manage it because it has ridiculous trophy expectations like 100 day streak. It also has calorie burn related trophies (up to 500 calories in 1 day) which is fine for a fitness game, but not if it loses track between play sessions for same day or resets to zero for the day if you play any multiplayer. Many of the other trophies are expecting high-skill / dedication. The game came out very recently and has very few players so some of it makes sense, but as of now it has over 30 trophies not including Platinum sitting at 0%.
There are no VR comfort options, but this game doesn't need it since all movement is room-scale.
We both like the idea of the game as we both look for and appreciate games that provide a fun aerobic workout, but this is not a good port to the PSVR2. It isn't making use of stronger hardware to provide higher resolution (not a big deal to us), higher 90-120 framerates so there isn't any unnecessary reprojection (made my wife feel dizzy) or better haptics. It also crashes consistently when we try to play multiplayer together.
I may feel differently about the game overall if they can patch the multiplayer from crashing for us and get rid of the unnecessary reprojection, but as it is now, I don't recommend it.
