@wolf480pl @liblast I wonder if splicing straight segments into the middle of these curves would still keep 1st and 2nd derivatives continuous...Because then these could be used to speed up. slow down but otherwise keep the middle section at "full speed".When a machine has a speed limit, it would peak at some point.Not sure how am I going to do that though...

Did you know that #KDE 's KRunner accessible via Alt+F2 hotkey(combination) can do simple math, convert units and currencies for you?All of that offline. No need to query a web search engine or use a web browser at all, not to mention asking a large language model that'd probably give you wrong results at a million times higher computational, memory and energy cost than what this launcher does.I love you, @kde ! Plasma is the best :D#PSA #didyouknow #protip #Linux #PlasmaDesktop

Yeah, so I have trouble with my backup.You see, the USB HDD enclosure I use seems to sometimes disconnect drives. And because I can't seem to be able to disable write cache to them, that inevitably looses some data. The problem is I use #Btrfs and it assumes the write order to disks is kept. Interrupted write cache might violate that. So I have 500+ corruption errors in my Borg repository. Borg crashes during a repo check, but I can still backup to it and mount archives...#borgbackup #sysadmin

If you're a filmmaker here's a silly idea:Shoot 2 different versions of your film with major divergences (key plot points being different, different key characters dying, tone of the film being completely different - one very serious, one full of dark humor etc) and have the versions silently be screened simultaneously in cycles so people never know which one they are gonna get.For example people going to the theater at 18:00 would see v1 but people viewing at 20:00 would see v2.#film #idea

Reporting after two weeks of using a new #Fairphone6. No issues so far.Everything works as it should, I am really happy with the device!The battery life could be better, but I enabled some bells and whistles like 120 Hz & always-on display. I have Syncthing, Tailscale and Immich working in the background as well. I could optimize later.I wonder if I maybe I can somehow make it back up nightly to my local #BorgBackup repository (without rooting the device, I don't want to fumble).#Android

@borkir nice, thank you for the recommendation. I will check it out. I've been tuning the phone to balance performance and features. The always-on clock display is really useful for me because I have difficulty keeping track of time. But I know that eats battery. I've set the switch to enable battery saving so I can use that when I don't need certain features. I wish there were some ways to automate things. For example, I need #Syncthing to only run when I open #Logseq.

I've just finished watching #theMatrix trilogy.I guess one of the perks of being sick is that you have time for #movies.I know the third film is regarded as the weakest of the three, but honestly I think it's probably as satisfying of a finale as it could have ever been.I haven't read reviews because I like to try and make my own theories about why it is so.I'm gonna mark toots with spoilers, let's have a nice discussion about these films. How did you like the trilogy? Why?I'll start...

The trilogy finale is kind of a downer. We lose two of our most beloved characters. They won't even have graves to be remembered by. On the other hand, we save Zion, and there is peace between machines and humans. How is that peace going to carry on? That is interesting. Are human batteries going to be phased out? Everybody flushed down the drain? How would Zion feed them all? The sky is still "scorched". What can humans pay with for their freedom? Hugs'n'kisses?

Let's assume that there *can* be a more upbeat ending to the Matrix trilogy that seems at least as plausible as the one we got. Could Neo do the stab-in-the-guts quicksilver absorbtion trick that Smith does, and destroy him this way? Then maybe Neo would become a benevolent "deity" in the Matrix. Could that be a way to get peace? He threatens the machines that he would wake everybody up and by doing so, cut the power to the machine city - that'd resemble...

... it'd be like the Trinity holding the "french man" at gunpoint. If the machines destroy Zion, then humanity "loses" anyway. So, in theory, Neo could just as well shut down the whole Matrix by waking everyone up. Zion couldn't rescue everyone, but at least they would be free from slavery. Mostly dead, but free! Would Neo be cold enough to do something so devastating? Kill millions to save the chance of freedom? That's almost a "trolley problem".

I think something like that could be a more satisfying ending. Sure, Neo would seem more like a cold-blooded murderer than a martyr, but... well, it would be more fitting to play some Rage Against The Machine at the end, I guess?Now that I think of it, the third film doesn't have much in terms of gubslinging action. There's the whole "dock shootout against the sentinels" thread, but there's no slowmo in there! The only slo-mo I recall was Neo vs Smith...

These slow-mo punches seemed to be entirely computer-generated imagery though. It didn't feel as personal and authentic as effects in the first film did to me. Sure, the spectacle of the third film was incredible. The set pieces were amazing, but I feel that in scaling up so much it becomes harder to relate to. It seems like a common issue with a lot of sequels in fiction. You can't do the same thing again, so you go bigger, but bigger isn't always better!

Art is a kind of human communication that transcends space and time.It's not the end product that matters, it's who, why and how made it.This is why I think after the generative large machine learning models hype dies down, we'll find appropriate uses for them, and genuine art will never go away. The spirituality is a part of what makes us human. We can make a perfect simulation of a human mind, but we can't create a soul. Photography didn't kill paintings.#thoughts #AI
