Porkbun is a solid all-rounder. Cloudflare sells domains at cost so they're slightly cheaper than Porkbun, but the catch is that you're forced to use CFs nameservers so YMMV depending on whether you want that flexibility.
For Canadians trying to avoid US registrars - grape.ca. They've been in business since '99, I think they were one of the first CIRA accredited registrars for .ca domains.
It's been going on for years. I've personally tried to report phishing scams to Namecheap and get the laziest action on it (for example, I report 30 domains, and only one gets taken down and the rest + the account stay active) or totally ignored altogether after one or two exchanges. This laziness in response despite their platform being abused this heavily suggests they don't want to give up the revenue they're getting from it. The CEO is incredibly defensive about it and suggests that the security theater is evidence that they actually want to do something, but it's been years and they're still heavily used. This is despite not being the cheapest out there, which suggests that scammers prefer it for other reasons.
Piggybacking on this comment, what about alternatives for good/basic shared hosting? (i.e., PHP, MySQL, etc.) I've got a few WP sites that I maintain where I need keep something reliable, secure/trusted, and relatively low-cost.
> outside from very specialist professional software (AutoCAD and Photoshop come toind), I think this is mostly about getting over the hump of inertia. Both myself (software Dec and ai) and even my parents (browser machine) use Linux for ages without hickups.
I don't know - it's way more unstable in day to day use than say MacOS. The amount of times I had Slack crash on me or Chrome lock up in windows during calls is too frequent for daily use IMO. You could say that's a Slack or Chrome problem, but I don't have those issues on MacOS.
I disagree. This article is typical embellishment from the university that produced the research. The reality is that they're likely pre-trial stage. Even if they make it through all stages of clinical trials (historically, chances of a drug candidate doing that are 2-5%), that usually takes the better part of a decade. So the answer is "no, we're very far from curing it".
Yes. The tldr is that this is a drug that showed promise that is in the early pretrial stages. Most drugs fail before they reach the market. Even if this one doesn't, it will take a decade at least before this will be available.
I needed to answer that question a month ago. The One felt too untested. Most people recommend the Flint2, but it felt expensive. So I landed on the asus RT AX53U
I thought the temperature only affects randomness at the end of the network (when turning embeddings back I to words using the softmax). It cannot influence routing, which is inherently influenced by which examples get batched together (ie, it might depend on other users of the system)
Typically in these tests you have three options "A is better", "B is better" or "they're equal/can't decide". So if 56% prefer O3 Mini, it's likely that way less than half prefer O1.also, the way I understand it, they're comparing a mini model with a large one.
If you use ChatGPT, it sometimes gives you two versions of its response, and you have to choose one or the other if you want to continue prompting. Sure, not picking a response might be a third category. But if that's how they were approaching the analysis, they could have put out a more favorable-looking stat.
> I'm a power user that games... so Windows it is. For now. The moment I don't need Windows to game, and Wine can run all my legacy apps, then I'm jumping ship to Linux.
As a power user that games on Linux, and has been for a decade -- what's stopping you right now? Which apps specifically tie you to Windows?
Great question -- I run Microsoft Money -- it's managed my finances since 1995 -- I've got 30 years of financial transaction history in there I don't want to bail on. Sure it's old but it's always got the job done, I have no complaints other than it can no longer update stock prices from the internet. It's actually my most critical app to me, much more than gaming.
Last time I ran Wine it wasn't up to the task, graphical glitches etc. My financial package is too critical to me to live with downtime. I thought about trying to import to Quicken etc but all of the mainstream financial apps have become online subscription services -- that seems like a downgrade to me. Open to any suggestions here.
So, for the time being I'm still running windows. Until recently it hasn't been much of a problem for me. But with each upgrade Windows is becoming more and more of a thorn in my side. With Windows 11 being force fed to us it seems I'm going to be forced to migrate to Linux this year. Not looking forward to the transition of my daily workflow. I just want to run my apps, not play with a new OS. The pain is real.
Any suggestions on what Linux distro I'll have the easiest time migrating to?
Microsoft Money has basically been discontinued at this point, so there's no real guarantee it's going to keep working on Windows. Meanwhile Wine-HQ lists Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe Sunset as a "Platinum" level supported application, which means it should run essentially perfectly on any current Linux distribution.
Pick the distribution which seems the best fit and try it again. As Money is no longer being updated, support is only going to get better in Wine and worse on Windows from now on.
Even if you don't move to a different OS, since your data and Money are so important and Money is not particularly demanding in terms of hardware, it might still be a good idea to migrate money into a VM with a fully supported OS to insulate it from changes to the underlying OS. That would simplify backups, and guarantee that you can continue to use it essentially indefinitely even if you choose to use an ARM architecture Mac or Chromebook in the future.
Both VMware and VirtualBox are free for noncommercial use, available for all popular platforms, and allow easy snapshots and full backups. If you backup your VM to a cloud service you could lose literally all of your possessions in a disaster and still be in a position to recover everything onto nearly any computer within minutes.
How did you find these things? Since you "stumbled upon them", you probably didn't know what you eee looking for, so... How did this research get started?
