I think this story fits https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

Oh god, yeah, that's a great one. Also that one Black Mirror episode where AIs are just enslaved brain scans living in a simulated reality at 0.0001x of real time so that from the outside they perform tasks quickly.

Also SOMA (by the guys who made Amnesia).

I'm on FF 142.0.1 (64 bit) windows and i've no link preview.

I think it's a good news they're introducing some paid features for pro users


> This feature is available in English for users in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and is being introduced gradually to ensure great performance and quality.

Not available in Italy yet.


You can enable it by setting 'browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled' to true via about:config. A restart of Firefox is required.


Open Settings. You can enable it at the bottom of the General tab.


Do we finally have a new Fireworks?


The big feature I'd like to see is someone setting up the re-rendering PNG files which Fireworks had.


I had the exact same thought! I played with it a bit and I immediately thought of Fireworks. I still use it from CS6. Hopefully not anymore.


- local hosting

- 15 users

- basic auth

- it's so easy you want to build every app around streamlit pretty soon, then you find out it's a pain because of execution flow. Still, i'm using it far beyond the dashboards...

- i would really, really understand the execution flow model


Could pandas benefit from this integration?


Pandas uses numpy which uses C. So if numpy used CUDA then it would benefit.


What do you have in mind that Pandas will benefit from cuda cores?


I'm absolutely not a pro coder, i just crunch numbers and i would love to see some improvements speed-wise in dataframe operations.


Check out CuDF. I've mentioned them in another comment on this thread.


It seems already a mature and seamless solution. Thank you


May I suggest you to watch "Common Side Effects" - an very good animated series loosely based on your premises?


It's a fantastic show, but I am not sure it touches on the commenter's point at all. The show is a take on what might happen if a panacea was actually found to exist. That's a bit different than a mere novel antibiotic. I even think the writers are pulling a lot of punch with how violent and insane Big Pharm, Governments and even independent groups would get about control over it.

Still, highly recommend people watch it. Great animation and art style, good writing and characterization, music is pretty rad and it's quite the trip at times.


I haven't watched the show, but your description just made me think about the "panacea". Virus-wise, I was obsessed with the idea of the DRACO antiviral concept for years.[0] It's really unclear why funding was pulled for it.

Then again, the idea behind "28 Days Later" was that everyone got a cancer vaccine and turned into zombies...

This was not in the movie at all. It was the extremely contagious "rage" virus, inadvertently released by animal rights activists.


Oops. I got mixed up. I was thinking of the virus designed to cure cancer in "I Am Legend."


The ideal devices for a warm place.


I use gemini to solve textual CAPTCHAS with those kind of distortions and more: 60% of the time it works every time.


I'm using gemini to solve textual CAPTCHA with some good results (better than untrained OCR).

I will give this a shot
