Matrix let-down in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it's people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this "part" of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.

Which can be further summarized: academics (🙋🏻) are basically a bunch of idiotic sheep, despite being in academia.

Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I'll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.

Thank you, that's useful info, I didn't know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!

Season 3 special announcement in c/opm@lemmy.world

Completely agree. Indeed it seems that they still try to bake its main theme in all the new soundtracks. I still listen to it every morning to get my energy charge!

Realized now that I double-posted this. You beat me... to the Punch!

32-year-old blogger's research forces Harvard Medical School affiliate to retract 6 papers, correct another 31 in c/science@lemmy.ml

Really embarrassing also for the journals that published the papers – and which are as guilty. They take ridiculously massive amounts of money to publish articles (publication cost for one article easily surpasses the cost of a high-end business laptop), and they don't even check them properly?

Absolutely agree. Edited the post with a warning.

Black screen blinking prompt during apt upgrade: what to do? (lemmy.ca)

I just did an apt update followed by an apt upgrade, and during the latter the screen went all blank with a blinking prompt. Unresponsive to keyboard and touchpad. I also hear the fans. It's been like this for 10 min now. I think some Nvidia drivers were included in the upgrade. What to do? Is it safe to emergency reboot? I appreciate any suggestions also for post-checks. Cheers!

Update: The suggestion by @nottheengineer@feddit.de worked!

Three non-probability books with good introductions to Bayesian probability theory (infosec.pub)
 

Today there's an abundance of textbooks and webbooks on Bayesian probability theory, decision theory, and statistics, at very diverse technical levels. I wanted to point out three books whose main topic is not probability theory, but which give very good introductions (even superior to those of some specialized textbooks, in my opinion) to Bayesian probability theory:

  • Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by S. J. Russell, P. Norvig. Part IV is an amazing introduction to Bayesian theory – including decision theory – with many connections with Artificial Intelligence and Logic.

  • Medical Decision Making by H. C. Sox, M. C. Higgins, D. K. Owens. This is essentially a very clear and insightful textbook on Bayesian probability theory and decision theory, but targeted to clinical decision-making.

  • Sentential Probability Logic: Origins, Development, Current Status, and Technical Applications by T. Hailperin. This is a book on Bayesian probability theory, presented as a generalization of propositional logic. This point of view is the most powerful I know of. The books also has important results on methods to find probability bounds, and on combining evidence.
