The big bet is that the LLMs will get good enough to invent new frameworks or even branches of math. I hope it pans out. Otherwise we will get stuck in a local maximum for a while.
On the positive side We won’t get the cars, but our horses will be damn fast ;)
> Debian is a large and complicated project: the release announcement for version 13 says it has 69,830 packages, which take a total of 403 GB of disk, and contain 1,463,291,186 lines of code. So, suitably, it is a large and complex poll.
Surely these are not just Debian-owned packages. Whatever Debian decides won’t apply to packages not owned by Debian
Debian is huge - that's why so many other distros use it as a base!
So, yes, all those packages are maintained either by an individual Debian Developer or a team of them.
There are third party repos, but they're (currently) neither as widespread nor as commonly-used as those for other major distros. This vote won't affect them, and you might potentially expect to see their use grow if one of the harsher options in this GR were to pass.
Sure, this is (mostly) about direct contributions to Debian.
Proposal C does discourage use more broadly but acknowledges that many upstreams take a different view and that it would be impractical to ban them from using it.
I’ve been on a hunt for a perfect blank t shirt. After trying 10 different models either the fit or the material is not up to my standard.
I wonder how automatable manufacturing of T-Shirts is. Not sure if it is possible to automate sewing on a collar for example. Plus from what I’ve read a tubular t shirt is worse than front and back sewed at the sides cause it tends to stretch and rotate in one direction with time.
Anyway: continuous knitting is more automatable but introduces limitations just like injection moulding does. But the benefit of having a perfect fit might outweigh those limitations.
Particularly for finer gauge knits, I believe warp knitting is often used, where many strands are knit at once, crossing back and forth instead of a single strand going round and round (weft knitting) so there shouldn't be any issues with stretching or rotating. There's no reason a T-shirt can't be automated like anything else as far as I know, but I'm not in the industry at all.
I view it much like 3D printing, it's a tool that is well suited for some materials and tasks, but quite poor for others. Working around its constraints is part of the fun!
To calculate +/- 3/6/9 months I shift by seasons. 3rd month of summer becomes 3rd month of winter.
That works well cause all months live in a primitive memory palace in my head: an analogue clock face with July at 12 and January at 6. So shifting by 6 means rotating the clock hand from 11 to 5 and immediately visualising what month it falls on.
This might sound inefficient to an LLM but human brains had image processing before language.
Ukrainian P1-Sun interceptor FPVs were built specifically for this purpose. They are way cheaper than a Shaheed drone and have a practical ceiling of 5000+ meters according to wikipedia.
