I second DnD and Warhammer, and i’ll add Magic the Gathering to this list

ZorinOS is the best for me, because it works out of the box, looks a lot like Windows which i’m used to, is relatively configurable and is free (the paid version is just cosmetics and prebundled additional software). I consider looking into Arch though, thanks to your post and the comments there ;)

Comments on Reddit seem to suggest that UI problems with NeuralDSP plugins seems to be solved with some onstallation of DirectX libraries (? Not sure about the technical details) :

was able to fix it just yesterday after seeing someone suggest this:

install WineGUI

use it to install DirectX 9/10/11 and DirectX 12 packages

This instantly fixed the GUI not being responsive, tested with the new Nolly X

In France, some enterprises post job offers when looking for alternant.e.s, and you can use search filters to target those types of offer most of the times, for example on pôle emploi.

I know some people who found alternances during job dating events, or other professional events. I think some administration may be helpful, either pole emploi/mission locale or the school’s administration, they may have some ideas.

Edit : typos.

The combo Reaper + yabridge works relatively well for me, did not get all my VSTs back but the basics are working.

I guess teenagers who do not have access to any device but a 3DS could have a good reason for using it

If you go for a tent, first don’t forget the tent pegs, and then it’s always comfortable having a tiny mallet to plant them, rather than using a rock or your bare hands.

It is not necessarily a character per se, but something akin to a body : an element through which you can influence and be influenced by the reality. Consider your mouse cursor for example : it lacks the humanization/personality of a character, at least imo, yet is the way you interact with most of your computer.

Can confirm, used it for Lethal Company, worked like a charm

“Chatte” (female cat) is the equivalent of pussy in english.

“Poulet” (chicken) is a cop. “Poulette” (hen) is a rather disrespectful word for a women.

“Gorille” (gorilla) is a tall muscular person.

“Cochon” (pig) is someone filthy, especially in the sexual sense. (can be used as an adjective, “films cochons” are porn films).

“Canard” (duck) can be a newspaper, or a mistake when playing music.

“Levrette” (female greyhound) is the name for the doggy style sexual position.

“Vache” (cow) can be either someone mean, either a cop. The second case is rarely used except in the sentence “Mort aux vaches” (death to the cops) and probably comes from the Wache germanic root for Guardian, rather than the actual animal.

Y’all seem to think that those people only exist in one random Lemmy community and never use anything else.

Women getting too much and too bad male input is literally what leads to women only spaces, not the other way around. And yet they still get male input everywhere else. It’s like thinking going to a Warhammer shop will radicalize you because they don’t play poker there, it’s not even stupid, it’s absurd.

Yes

To use .dll VSTs on Linux with Reaper, i use yabridge. If i understood correctly it mixes the use of the linux .so VST format and Wine to trick the VSTs into thinking they run on Windows. So you can run Reaper outside of Wine, and automatically have access to Windows VSTs (once you setup yabridge properly).

It has some huge limitations (most Waves plugins are a big no, getting Kontakt to work seems to involve black magic way beyond my understanding, etc) but i got some plugins to work very well!

On the safety of Wine, i’m not sure at all. From what i understand of this forum, Wine itself is not really dangerous, but it does not block applications from communicating with Linux filesystem and environment so it’s not 100% safe. However you are slightly protected by the niche aspect of Linux, which makes it unlilely for attackers to take time to code a virus that handles Linux way of working. And from my small experience with hacked VSTs on Windows, most werent a threat, especially when i took them from the same hacking team

Yup, seeing a french flag in a private context feels off, you immediately get the sense that whoever put it up has very intense feelings about the Motherland/Fatherland.

Do you want to leave your country, at least for a bit of time (or is it possible that political/social instabilities will make you want that in the future)? That could be a hint for medicine.

I studied law for 3 years and hated it, but it’s mostly because of my philosophical/political beliefs. On the bright side, it is very diverse, so you could quite easily connect it to something you like (art, environment, digital, politics, etc).

Anyway, good luck for your exams!

This is a very appropriate thread to wish you a happy cake day!

I think i do not, but my gf loves raw cabbages and cannot stand it when it’s cooked in any form.

Here is the main blog post that i remembered : it has a follow up, a more scientific version, and uses two other articles as a basis, so you might want to dig around what they mention in the introduction.

It is indeed a quite technical discovery, and it still lacks complete and wider analysis, but it is very interesting for the fact that it kinda invalidates the common gut feeling that llms are pure lucky random.

Oh yes, cost of training are ofc a great loss here, it’s not optimized at all, and it’s stuck at an average level.

Interestingly, i believe some people did research on it and found some parameters in the model that seemed to represent the state of the chess board (as in, they seem to reflect the current state of the board, and when artificially modified, the model takes modification into account in its playing). It was used by a french youtuber to show how LLMs can somehow have a kinda representation of the world. I can try to get the sources back if you’re interested.

Actually, a very specific model (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) was pretty good at chess (around 1700 elo if i remember correctly).
