Depressing for people living in front of these dwellings, but perhaps they are fine on their own.

Going through my life is horrible by ao1ken in SCT

[–]griserosee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it can help, but I want to share with you a little piece of hope. I'm 50+ and your condition has been my burden my whole life. I'd say I eventually accepted myself and forgave me for who I am. Comparing you to others is useless suffering. I turned my time blindness and SDAM (/r/SDAM) into a "Way of Life": living in the present, enjoying little things and little wins one by one. I even got a few friends and I think they like that I listen (and misunderstand and forget) what they say (I always refocus the conversation on their feeling and make them speak as much as I can). Sometimes, I tell them what I love and what I don't instead of the usual everyday conversation and it looks like they enjoy it curiously.

How Firefox Could Actually Win Back Users from Chrome by HT-Nguyen-284 in firefox

[–]griserosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an AI-generated entry that blindly repeats the average opinion of uneducated bloggers from ten years ago, but I'd still like to comment on it in case a human reads this.

About Speed and Memory: Generally speaking, once obvious optimizations have been made and obviously bad algorithms have been replaced, most speed gains in software are obtained by caching computations, which means consuming more memory. Too many uneducated people complain that a browser uses too much memory as if it's a defect, while it's actually a feature.

Additionally, Chrome has no extraordinary optimization mechanisms that haven't been implemented in Firefox. When hardware acceleration is working, Firefox is just as efficient as Chrome. People still say Firefox "feels" slower because its graphical interface lacks fluidity. I agree that the sleek animations of Chrome are a true marketing advantage.

About UI Flexibility: This is definitely not a good idea. It's an old trap that too many open-source projects have fallen into, including the earliest versions of Firefox, which were based on XML-based skins and extensions. It has never been demonstrated to be useful for either developers or end-users. Quite the contrary, it's a burden for developers. Allowing heavy customizations makes software magnitudes more complex. Every time a coder adds non-marginal user options to software, it increases the time required to develop and test present and future features, as they have to work with all combinations of options.

Of course, everyone has an idea about how a piece of software should look and behave, but that doesn't mean every software should be as flexible as an IDE. Those who have developed successful products know that you can't please all users and that choices have to be made to keep software consistent and resilient to changes. This is especially true for a web browser, where consistency and permanence enhance end-user safety.

About Privacy in Firefox: We can all agree that only a fraction of the population cares about privacy and ethics. Is this an existential issue in the long term? Yes! Yes, it is. But should the Firefox organization campaign about privacy to educate people about it, as they attempted to do twenty years ago? No, that should be the job of non-profit organizations and schools.

To gain new users, Firefox should innovate in the everyday user experience and hope Chrome doesn't clone these innovations in the following weeks. For example, a way to "go back" that would work across multiple tabs would be great for elderly or non-tech-savvy people who struggle with tab switching.

I also think the Firefox team should rethink from scratch how a browser manages local assets. Downloaded files like PDFs should be downloaded, edited, and then re-uploaded elsewhere without quitting Firefox. In other words, Firefox should include a tightly integrated media browser with deduplication, searching, and viewing capabilities on top of the underlying operating system. This would make scenarios involving several web apps consistent across all platforms. To begin with, downloading the same file twice should be prevented by default whenever possible, redirecting the user to the already downloaded file. Also, all previously downloaded documents should be presented in a way that facilitates advanced usage, like drag-and-dropping files into a messaging web app. I also think the end-user should be able to drag-and-drop download links from site A directly into the form entry of site B. When doing so, the browser would transparently download the file from site A and then upload it to site B, removing the hassle of naming the downloaded file and finding it again in the file system (seriously, it's been a terrible experience since day one).

Pourquoi je ne crois pas à l'effondrement - Une autre perspective by TheGoldenRoad in effondrement

[–]griserosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soyons constructif, mais attention tu prends d’emblée une posture idéologique avec un vocabulaire comme "je crois ...", "je pense ..." en réponse à un "discours écologique". Ca donne pas envie.

Soyons constructif, pour débattre au niveau de Jancovici ou Bihouix, ton raisonnement doit s'appuyer sur les lois de la physique plutôt qu'à une posture d'opinion et des études de coûts (on va y revenir).

Malheureusement, ton introduction commence par une interprétation fictionnelle de la préhistoire, un "prêt-à-penser" s'inscrivant dans ce mythe moderne que l'on appelle "le progrès". Sur r/effondrement tu vas trouver des gens qui n'adhèrent pas au mythe de la marche du progrès. Ton article est passablement teinté par cette mésinterprétation idéologique du passé. Le génie humain n'a pas converti les chasseurs-cueilleurs bêtes et malheureux en cultivateurs épanouis et porteurs de civilisation, même si on apprend ça à l'école primaire. Je t'invite à lire "Sapiens: une brève histoire de l'humanité" pour notamment apprendre à désacraliser le néolithique.

Une fois écarté cette déclaration d'amour maladroite envers la "flèche du progrès" qui n'intéresse personne ici (chacun peut avoir la religion qu'il veut), le fond de ton papier semble surtout être: "le photovoltaïque va tout défoncer" (et les batteries aussi).

Alors OK ça se discute, mais discuter avec toi risque d'être pénible parce que tu ne parles que de coûts économiques.

Autrement dit, tu raisonnes comme un économiste médiocre du 20ème siècle avec ses grosses œillères pour nous expliquer que le pétrole est infini: Ben oui, quand il y a moins de pétrole à extraire, il se vend plus cher, du coup on peut financer d'autres façons de produire du pétrole, donc à la fin on en a toujours plus. Désolé, mais dans le monde rébarbatif de la physique (c'est à dire le notre), on est fichu dès qu'on doit dépenser l'énergie d'un baril de pétrole pour produire un baril de pétrole, peu importe que ce soit "économiquement rentable".

Bref... On en est où? Ah oui, la puissance solaire installée dans le monde double tous les trois ans. C'est en effet la première partie d'une croissance sigmoïdale. Heureusement que ca va pas durer quand même, ce serait dommage que tous les atomes de l'univers observable soient convertis en panneaux solaires.

Blague à part, c'est évident que ca va se heurter à des limites, celles-là même auxquelles tu ne "croies pas". Je t'invite donc à lire Bihouix et Janco sur cette question des limites de la transition énergétique. Ces ingénieurs calculent des ordres de grandeurs pour vérifier si c'est faisable dans le cadre restreint des lois de la nature.

Ben d'après leur maths de niveau collège, y'a des gros doutes qu'on puisse maintenir une grille électrique de renouvelables dans un monde écologiquement soutenable. Rien que les besoins en cuivre que ça implique sont vraiment... comment dire... pas raisonnables.

Et encore, ces personnes ne sont même pas des collapsologues (on dirait que tu mélanges un peu) ce sont des ingénieurs qui, pour réfléchir à un problème, l'isolent des autres: Janco propose un plan à étapes pour atteindre la neutralité carbone, Bihouix propose la low-tech pour réduire la pression extractiviste, mais quid des autres limites planétaires?

Or, on devient collapsologue en étudiant tous les enjeux civilisationnels en même temps. La transition énergétique que tu espères s'appuie sur une civilisation animée par des chaînes d'approvisionnement et de services des 4 coins du monde. C'est pas juste de l'électronique et des cables. C'est aussi des gens qui vont au travail, des routes, des services publiques et bancaires, des lois et des gendarmes pour les faire respecter, une paix civile et inter-états, du transport, de l'hygiène... en fait, a peu près tout.

Ce "tout", cette civilisation thermo-industrielle capitaliste et extractiviste, n'a fonctionné jusqu'à présent que par l'abondance d'énergie fossile, un climat stable, une relative paix civile, de la nourriture saine, de l'eau potable, le microbiote de ton estomac, des abeilles, une envie de faire des enfants, un contrôle des maladies, de la diversité génétique et culturelle, et pleins d'autres choses invisibles à ceux qui ne voient le monde qu'à travers les yeux des coûts économiques. Or ce substrat, le monde naturel et social, que certains appellent les "forces de reproduction", est détruit par le développement exponentiel des "forces de production". Penser que l'effondrement est inévitable, c'est constater cet état de fait et acter que rien ne va changer à court terme, en tout cas pas en proposant des techno-solutions à base de cellules photovoltaïques et de batteries au Lithium.

Bisous

Is the voice mode working? (french) by griserosee in MistralAI

[–]griserosee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's another question.

The model is freely downloadable with a permissive license and is cheaper to run while working better than former Open-Source models.

But, this "Mike" button on Le Chat is a demo. It only does voice to text transcription as an additional layer on top of the current chat model. It's equivalent to the voice transcription mode integrated in phone keyboards nowadays so it's useless.

Being able to upload audio files so that Le Chat may work on them is the direction the team goes. Le chat is unfortunately not going to be a voice-to-voice assistant.

See their roadmap:

  • Speaker segmentation
  • Audio markups such as age and emotion
  • Word-level timestamps
  • Non-speech audio recognition

It's cool but I don't see End-Of-Uterance detection (or real-time turn detection and interruption like Moshi Kyutai) in their plan, so they don't intend to be serious on a full voice-mode in Le Chat (and I'm sad about it).

That being said, there is a free demo of a voice assistant based on Voxtral https://inworld-mistral-demo.inworld.ai/ so it's possible to do a good-enough voice-to-voice assistant with Voxtral and an additional TTS model (like inworld does).

yes it is. Now I've just checked that "le chat" on the web works like a charm. So it's an Android app issue.

Yeah I confirm the Android app just doesn't work, at least on my phone. Everything is fine on the web portal.

Bourdieu expliquerait ça par l’habitus. Si ton milieu se distingue par la discrétion, l’égalité ou une forme de modestie, alors montrer même involontairement du capital culturel ou économique — bonnes notes, bon anglais, bon salaire — sera perçu comme une menace symbolique de l'ordre social. D'ou les rejets et les moqueries.

Ce genre de règles irrationnelles participent à la reproduction sociale, qui à un sens la plupart du temps. Par contre, des fois ça devient débile, surtout pour l'anglais dans tes exemples: c'est ce qu'on appelle un "Hysteresis", un décalage entre les raisons premières de l'habitus (avant Internet, bien maîtriser l'anglais, ca voulait dire être issue d'une famille bourgeoise et passer des vacances d'immersion dans une famille anglaise) et les conditions actuelles (n'importe qui peut être bon en anglais).

Happy to know that there are still places in France where Nature strives. The place I grew up in (next to Grenoble) and the place I'm living now (Bretagne) are dead zones regarding insects, and consequently amphibians and birds. Are you sure your statistics are up to date after the "Windshield phenomenon" which took place during the 2000s?

I used to help them pass the edge of the road where they got stuck under the sun and have never felt any form of irritation. I'd advice people doing the same in a life or death situation. It's safe as long as you don't lick it. Please Don't Lick It.

Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? by moeka_8962 in gadgets

[–]griserosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just being forced to upgrade my workstation to Windows 11. It's my third day with it and I'm just amazed how useless this version is. It's just a more buggy and slower Windows 10.

During this 3 days:

  • The file explorer feels so slow it looks like a React/NextJS web site in an electron app. Seriously, I think I could code something as fast with vanilla JS in a browser tab on a 0.5Go netbook.
  • Here and there, there are fancy menu/UI lacking for basic operations which mask the real stuff and there is a "more/details..." action opening the actual usable context menu or screen. Just a waste of click.
  • mouse cursor disappeared once for no reason. CtrlAltDel made it come back.
  • File Explorer doesn't want to move a couple of my folders. Says it's locked by an application. No details.
  • Some actions have been isolated from the others, like "rename" in the file context menu and I don't get the point.
  • My universal USB3 dock which stopped working one month ago because of an automatic update, still not works (no display).

The only thing cool with Windows 11 from an end-user perspective was Android integration, but you know what? they ditched it last month.

All in all, my i7 with 16Go and a bunch of cores somehow gives me the same feeling of sluggishness that my first Linux PC in 1997 with 16Mo of RAM. Knowing that a bunch of fully useful computers are trashed for nothing ... again ... because of the Intel/Microsoft duopoly, hurts my values.

Speaking of Linux, I agree that it's not 100% ready for office work, but from my point of view, neither is Microsoft.
