There are many videos showing Buster's stunts and athletic prowess. But he could also make great romantic scenes.

!english@lemmy.ca A community to discuss and ask questions about English usage and grammar.

Surprisingly I haven't found a community like this in the Fediverse, except for !english_esl@lemmy.ml, which has a somewhat different purpose.

Well the title says it all.

As a second question: anyone knows of a benchmarking program for DNS services that doesn't need Wine?

I'd be interested in joining a community like this, but one where people explain things themselves, maybe even with experiments they did; or where people comment and compare different explanations found online – also to check their correctness. At the moment I only see links to (mostly) youtube videos. But then I can simply do a search on youtube myself. I wonder if this community would like to do something more.

This is just my opinion and a question, I completely understand if people prefer to do differently!

Moderators: please feel free to delete this comment if unimportant. Sorry for the outlier.

This looks interesting...

The year is 2222. It has been years since Tears of the New Moon, a mysterious rain, poured and wiped out almost the entire human race. The poisonous rain gave birth to deformed creatures devouring humans, and humanity fled from the danger. As means for survival, the humans then build an underground haven; Amasia. In this newly built dystopian city, in a pursuit of maintaining their existence, they run into an Artificial Intelligence named Magus. Not knowing how things will work between them, the story of how Humans and AI coinciding and trying to find their truths begin.

Old post (still true). Almost a meme now :)

!busterkeaton@lemmy.ca: a community for all of us who love that amazing actor, writer, and athlete: Buster Keaton.

AI no Idenshi (The Gene of AI) coming out today. It sounds intriguing.

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!

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.
