@voxel any advice for text path following in @krita @davidrevoy ? thanks!

@davidrevoy @voxel @krita Thanks, David! it's surprising that krita has no built in tool for that (yet!).

@scherzog @voxel ah, ok. I have immense respect for krita as it's probably supported by the artists using it, and they know better what is critical for them. there are usable workaround for the moment, complex text support will probably come when the time is right. meanwhile it's good to know that the issues are logged somewhere.

@timixretroplays @pimento it does. Someone else posted about that before.

edit: here is the article that was shared yesterday: https://www.consumer.org.nz/articles/you-don-t-have-to-pay-the-microsoft-365-price-increase

Wow. TIL about Dual Mixer Time Difference phase comparison. The idea blew my mind.

To measure phase between 10 MHz signals, you mix them with a slightly lower frequency. This produces a beat note, which can be low pass filtered. The two downconverted signals will have the same PHASE difference as the input signals.

However, this phase difference on the beat frequency is a much longer DELAY with is very easy to measure. You can get sub-picosecond measurements of the 10 MHz phase difference.

!!

@tomjennings yep thats it. frequencies of A and B must be quite close, a PFD comparator like what is used in PLLs is better for coarser comparisons. then the delay between the two downconverted signals is measured.

@jeisom @Foxboron the wrong is AI, device or not. We never asked for that. It's just mindless hype. If some people still want it, then it should just be a separate plugin, so we can entirely ignore it if we dont want it. Thats what plugins are for.

I do not want to burn cpu cycles for hallucinations.

@gsuberland @soatok you're not telling, so whatever you choose, you'll be able to I told you so everyone.

Hmm that might be the actual point.

Happy new year, all my friends!

@Infoseepage @peter @GossiTheDog the hydraulics loss if confirmed is a concern. There seem to be two independent circuit in boeing planes, right? I'll have to find details about that. There should be an electric pump and the ram turbine in last resort. Were both circulations damaged and unable to retain pressure? That thing happened on boeings previously. I dont remember that flight where fan blades traversed the hull and severed several hydraulics circuits.

@Infoseepage @peter @GossiTheDog I agree with you.

@peter @Infoseepage @GossiTheDog bird strike does not sound like the main problem for me, the plane reached the rwy threshold just fine. Too fast sure, but it was fine down to the ground. Why didnt the gear come down?

@Infoseepage @GossiTheDog is it an obstacle on the front of the runway or on the side of it? I cant tell from the video.

@lkundrak i love fedi. It's full of passionate people that just share what they love.

@ryanc programming language of the utterly deranged, look at what they are asking your respect for all this time.

@Dtl this is something I also have in mind. A kind of rss only website sounds cool. Poke @ploum

@lanodan they could have made a little effort to release it on friday 2024-12-13 🙂

@bagder and while we're at it make it severe so we're sure they'll have a look.

Edit: omg these reports are so bad. Not a single effort is made so it could look legit. You're nice to call it wall of text. It's a generic security mansplaining. by a machine.

@LaF0rge they have no clue, lol
