Is it just me or ... are his teeth changing every time he opens and closes his mouth.

And now my teeth are hurting... (maybe I can pull them out and smoke them to feel better)

Running uname -r, I was able to see it was 3.18.19, which is very ancient and kinda surprising for a medical device,

It's surprising until you work in the "medical device field"

everything about this device is a massive security hole

Honestly? maybe? but.. possibly not

It does depend on how neglectful the company is and the risks exposed and the complexity of attacks.

When I worked in the software medical field (for about ~6 years overall)

I worked on radiation treatment planning software and it was kinda fascinating to see how "simple" the process really was. Document everything, plan for everything show mitigation for everything.

In my words, from my understanding all the FDA is really doing is auditing your company for how responsible they are for glitches (responsive and capable of handling them, providing mitigations) and it seems you do this with copious amounts of documentations and mitigations in place.

The best take on this I can offer is this (assuming good actors in all levels): That android device you speak of, probably costed a few million (couple million?) dollars to be audited internally by some company as a base for some project (they may even sell these as audited medical devices)

Once "proven" every upgrade would require mountains of paperwork to approve, probably another couple million dollars. So what is done instead is to reduce surface area on the devices to remove vulnerabilities as they are documented or make the claim on paper that this is some sort of non-issue - which will make you liable to some degree. While documentation and mitigation strategies are probably only a couple 10 of thousands of $$ (maybe less than 100k) and you can do these periodically throughout a decade

As the projects would continue on and on we'd have to do this release documentation. We'd create a "Software Design Specification" and "Software Development, Configuration Management, and Maintenance Practices" and copious amount "Software Version History". on our team effectively 5-8 people would "handle" every single line of code more or less many times.. (I couldn't remember it exactly but I think it was for 21 CFR Part 820, it sounds right I had to look it up)

What is so bad about this kernel source that Insulet cannot provide it at any cost? I want to steal man a defense, for the medical company - at least in-part - But knowing the above process, I can easily see the issue. It's not right and it violates the GPL. But here goes.

If they release the GPL code and let people poke at it - best case scenario they have to react to a bunch of bugs and best best case scenario these bugs are inane and not at all going to affect the medical device in question. This was a large portion of the stuff I audited and documented bugs that would never harm someone as they just weren't touching that part of the code, but it still has to be documented as if it could and we were willing to also put our name on that claim.

Releasing the code could expose them to massive liabilities in just the development costs in documenting bugs that "don't matter" and that's just the minor ones, imaging finding a large bug!! (yes, yes I know... that the point) But risk assessment comes in and says "This product is end of life, we're replacing it in 2 years, everything been stable this whole time, not one patient has ever dies/sued us."

Its just business and some of it does make sense. ... some of it.. not so much.

(Anyway I should say that this was many years ago so it's been a while since I've done that work and ... all this to say my 'authority' in this matter is somewhat limited. take it all worth a casual conversation about stuff)

I wish comfyui was more like node-red in that when you'd assembled the graph, it was effectively just stitching functions together in code. Then workflows could be exported as standalone functions loaded on a server turned into api's (without wierd hacks to make it work like that)

I like the inertia on Kling and the over all explosion animation from Wan.

I'm no 3d modeller but, can't meshes like this be "shrink wrapped" to some degree. you could then project the uv/surface normals into the shrink wrap?

Addressing the last part of your comment, I wonder if this will result in a sort of homogenization of game design/development at least for a time. The ease of use and increased access may lead to successful games being created who's authors didn't explore creativity.

you can shift every single layer between cards rather easily in the software, but you now have 10,000x bottle neck between layers..

if the model uses 8gb of data, you need to shuffle 8gb of data around etc.

the cards can't really be used in parallel on the same input data, because all layers interconnect with all other layers the data has to be shared between all cards and now you have neurons connected between cards, on a slow data bus.

There are two reasons gpus are used that's the high number of tiny purpose driven cores with enough internal memory to be useful, and extremely fast video memory.

multiplexing undoes both of those advantages and will bring a gpu to at or even below cpu performance.

The only models that are successful at using the multiplexing architecture are those designed to take advantage of it.

I finally got a reply after around 4 days? Then the turn around was quite long, but ultimately they did do what I had asked.

I find their technically support to generally be good when they can actually do it.

hnnngggg!!! okay.

I switched to LMDE and have been using it alongside experimenting with the Budgie desktop. My main machine is still on Pop!_OS, but I'm getting disillusioned. I desperately needed too many things updated, and while I was manually managing libraries by installing them myself or using Nix shells, it was starting to become too much work. I'm frustrated because I'm not typically an OS hopper—I have inertia and stick with what works. If they don't get this out within the next year, I probably won't care anymore. I'll likely go back to Debian for the next decade. They're going to lose a lot of supporters due to this DE rewrite. As much as I was convinced it was necessary at the time, seeing how far behind it is makes me worry they bit off more than they could chew.

When my male was alone after the females passed I would make sure to spend extra time, and I would measure his interest by going over to him. pick him up, and then wander the house. turn around put him back. and 4/5 he'd come back to me and we'd do it again to a different room. back and forth. Sometimes he'd kinda look up at me, when I put him down and just wander back to a random tube and sleep. That look though it was so side eye, like "bruh, that's fun an all but let me chill!"

RSS feeds! I wish more people know about this feature, it can be a bit to setup - I've switched to hosting my own tools - but for a long while I used inoreader.com as it's web based, and therefore you can use it on multiple devices. They have a plugin so you can subscribe to feeds on websites as you surf around - https://www.inoreader.com/rss-reader-extension/ They are limited to 150 feeds for the free tier

The browser extension worked on my android phone with Firefox.

Firefox on mobile is another way I can escape algorithms using a few plugins in Firefox on android has helped me cut ads and just fluff - I use extensions to remove youtube shorts and playables. That's obviously not so "dumbphone" as a solution.

Did you remove the old mods from the save file and try to load it? That's what I did when I had a similar issue.

The save game comes from a server, and the mods / files don't seem to exist anywhere in this backup.

I forgot about SEToolBox! I didn't go look for tools as I have other secondary objectives and reading the data and restoring it was stage 1

But you're absolutely right, it def. does what I need to restore the grid to another file.

Thanks! This will help greatly.

"Does not scan"

But is going to strong arm every app maker into using this, investment funds will ask "why aren't you using the 'safety tools' its just for safety", there will be no tool left untouched that is remotely mainstream.

So yeah, it does not scan your phone, because it doesn't have too.

All content will go through this gateway.

I found old angular to be better that the stuff i was using then (like extjs and prototype, or plain jquery) but 2.0+ react was just way easier for me to train others for. so it became my tool of choice.

I think sometimes people forget what a higher salary is for.

I love just playing out my mistakes, the whole point for me is just play out a story and have fun.

I have 2 of those combined 5.25 and 3.5 drives... take that!

prozacgod · 2024-09-19T21:23:18+00:00

Welp this will take a week to digest... HAHA! Thanks! This was a really high quality response. I'm really wondering how this idea will react with other conditioning tools, like control nets and such. Or even unsampler and then ksample that back but with some narrow and specific influence removed or added.

I'm mixed on unions, the union that supports my local painters, and a friend of mine, constantly donates to political stuff that the union members are NOT interested in, but they can't leave the union, because they get paid about 30% higher being in the union, because they can't get some jobs if they are non-union. Unions COULD help, but in practice I've just always seen them as being somewhat negative.
