What is HAPPENING NOW is a huge increase in power consumption for A.I. compute centers.

Anyone remember what happened with the M5 in Star Trek? Memory Alpha link: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/M-5_multitronic_unit

Pull up a seat by the campfire and tell us the story.

I have to ask you what your list is first then I'll add to your list.

For me, it's the old "when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" answer.

I see content from about July 2024.

You are being impatient. Traffic and such take time to grow.
Some want instant results.

Please expand on the support you expected. I encounter folk with site issues which has little to no support because it's not a server issue.

As an Astrologer you know what happens next so I expect you never to repeat what I've read to date.

For some it's price. Others it will be support and warranty.

And then because of tariffs and more, there would be about 193 countries so the list of such websites would be over SIX HUNDRED.
What country are you shopping in?

Here we can buy direct from Apple and Microsoft who offer some nice enough computers. Then we have Dell and others for server gear.

May as well pop up Clippy!

This varies with your needs. If you need Ethernet then you shop for that or consider some adapter.
No one can write you need x and y ports or subspace connectivity.

Rules when you have a boss.

1. The boss is always right.
2. When the boss is wrong see rule 1.

I think you meant "feature image" size vs the full size image. It appears that this is a RATIO and not a set number of pixels.
Remembering Rule 1, you can try and sell the boss that what you have is in line with what you see on Facebook and other sites like https://www.tacobell.com but at the end of the day, see Rule 1.

This is not an offer to write code but isZoomSupported? Find out with example code that looks for that at https://github.com/zxing/zxing/blob/master/android-core/src/main/java/com/google/zxing/client/android/camera/CameraConfigurationUtils.java

Interesting. Is this some attempt to avoid what looks like Google penalizing unchecked affiliate links? I'm reading https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/comments/187aun2/affiliate_sites_are_getting_stomped_by_google_and/ and it appears that such programs are no longer a sure thing. What do you think about this?

Here's the typical find -> "May 15, 2024 — I tried HARO long time back but got no success."

Try SEMRUSH and others.

I was with you on your first sentence until the word "Framework".

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/quickstart/create-and-publish-a-package-using-visual-studio-net-framework is how we do that sort of work but maybe just maybe if you have indeed created something other than an app or package which you'll have to tell me what you did there.

To VAIBHAV. Recently an instructor at some training site was posting similar questions. Turns out they were directing folk to their course on Udemy. They were found out with a little research by others.

To VAIBHAV. I used your business card information to see if you could be found at SRM.

Are you attending "SRM Institute of Science and Technology"?

Have you read Vaibhav Jaiswal's article on this?

I will try again to convey how I would troubleshoot this.

Now that you revealed that "it works" with the Swift command but not Python you still need to find out where the file alteration happens. To wit, I would see if the file made it to the server intact first. Use your code to send the file up and the Swift commands to check the file with the file command and to copy it back down. At this point you can tell if the issue was on the upload or download. RIGHT NOW you don't know.

I can't tell where the file is altered but it appears the file is indeed being altered. To figure out where I would be using the file command on the server as well. But I can't tell if you can shell into said server.

Check the type of compression using the file command:

file name_name.tgz

It's not a job you would get into without your degrees. The usual CompSci degree then back to school for your masters of cyber security engineering and then it might be possible to enter the field of cyber security engineering.

Short answer: Back to school.

To be clear, do you want someone to code this for you? If so, a lot more would have to be revealed.
This area is more about discussing what's stopping you versus outsourcing.

We only lose what we don't backup. There are file recovery apps galore today so no need to write which to try.

Is this the old Blinding Flash issue?
Hack or workaround possible at https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/210425/blinding-flash-set-background-color-when-creating-new-window

Your site appears to have been updated and the weird behavior is gone.

Small world that it is, someone in my circle worked on such and went with a "close enough" solution for access control to an automatic gate. They went with a system that only had to match 5 out of 7 letters and numbers which was good enough for the system and site.

It appears that Halcon is commercial which may be why I haven't encountered it over Tensorflow/OpenCV and others.
If I were to try this today I'd test with OpenALPR.

Once you consider nothing is 100% accurate you will fare much better.

@RJ, don't take this badly but the change to smart phone viewership is there. People will pick up the phone and view such a site in a few seconds over booting up their laptop or bigger systems. And thus the efforts from major sites are going to be small screen viewing first and other, reduced efforts to give the desktop viewers what they want.
The other area Weather Channel seems to put time and effort into are Smart TVs which looks to me to look very different from the phone and Apple/PC laptop view.

So to create a new tag one only needs to create a new account (newbie)? Seems odd but I know I avoid tag creation because reasons.

Hello Dani,
It's in the first question: "100% correct information?"

As such it falls into the Nirvana or Perfect Solution Fallacy domain.

How accurate must the answers be (in regard to the topic at hand)?

Sometimes folk succumb to the Nirvana or Perfect Solution Fallacy.

However if we're dealing with currency, we demand to account for every penny.
For the topic at hand, close enough is close enough.

Wasn't that retired?

Read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/using-csom-for-dotnet-standard and tell me what you think it said.

The blog continues to write about hetzner over and over. I don't see a clean reference to self-host on my own server, that is, one that is in our business office.

Please share the answer.

Also, a man with one watch knows what time it is, a man with two watches is never sure. Same for using multiple tools, you can't be sure once you measure with different tools.

As we read https://www.reddit.com/r/OrangePI/comments/18lh3hr/thinking_of_switch_to_orange_pi/ it becomes clear there is no single tutorial or something I can write in a few paragraphs that will either get "it" working or tell use what "it" is.

Best to approach this just like your first system and dig in.

I looked into that on their website and found more than 4 ways to self host. This means there are many choices you have to make and no one can tell you what your choices will be.

The good news is that you can self-host. But you'll have to make choices and dig into this.

I have to ask about that WEIRD behavior at your website. I went there, scrolled down a bit then pressed the END key which usually takes me to the end of the page. The page went to the end and then scrolled back. Just weird.

Maybe you are getting a little too fancy and the rating bots don't like that?

The definition of what an AI Code Assistant needs to be spelled out first.

However in my circles we are using various tools to increase our productivity and reduce costs. The cost reduction is that we don't outsource nearly as much as we used to. Yes, the folk that we used to call on have noticed.

As to VS and .NET work, the works ran the gamut that could include such to single board embedded work and web apps.

Impact here is a 50% reduction in payroll costs.

Inside India’s mines, a worker dies every 10 days

Seems there's room for improvement.

When I work such an issue I set the breakpoint where the trouble is and examine variables.
There's some variable that controls the output so that's what you look at.

You've posted a lot about ray-tracing and that's all good but setting breakpoints to see what's going on seems to be the challenge.

I'd try the solution found on a Reddit. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/17b9n4f/how_to_open_a_password_protected_excel_file_if_i/

In 2021, half of cryptocurrency crime was related to DeFi.

That's not good.

Checking into this further. Unsafe, not advised for any use.

Nefarious devs
Hooks may let nefarious developers create new ways to steal user’s tokens, Shevchenko said.

“The problem is that all of these will be hosted on the Uniswap back end, and maybe front end — so there is a lot of risk of people getting scammed thinking this is a trusted brand’s product,” Shevchenko said.

That's for NFT or Bitcoin which isn't something I'll go near.

The mechanics of Windows activation is well discussed so I won't breach that topic. To your last question, yes. Also, for home users it doesn't matter if it activates later as Home or Pro.

Read this today:

A.I. made me believe in the concept of the human soul by showing me what art looks like without it.

For mdv3441. While we still have the VB6 install media and know about service pack 6 and more, it's all for naught as the key SQL component is dead now.

Yes we could do a re-write but as the client won't pay for the updates they are left as-is. We're ready to move to the latest Visual Studio but VB6, dead and we can't obtain licenses from its maker. Because it's a business we can't and won't break the rules on licensing.

While other than the SQL we used back then being dead, the other parts of VB6 function but it's time to move on.

This is a rather well done topic so I'll share that at the office we are nearing the end of W10 and have moved almost all to W11. I can write we see little to no performance difference so we have that going for us.

That said, the minimum hardware is now at the Core i7 CPU, 16GB RAM or more and SSD for all storage. Since we pay by the hour this pays back in spades.
Back to optimizing. A clean install along with the usual drivers is optimized well enough for us and I haven't found any tutorial that resulted in better performance.

This is some academic assignment so the lesson isn't about fixing this found or GPT generated code, it's not even about coding.
It's about designing before code. Without a design, how would we code?

Or if we use AI to write code, it's a lesson about how we still have to understand the code that it generates.

Now for those that just want it fixed, you place the task on job sites like Upwork and pay for the work. But for assignments that's not applicable.
