The distance from Troy to Ithaca is about 560 nautical miles, with 1 nautical mile equal to roughly 1.15 miles or 1.85 kilometers.

Ancient ships are estimated to have sailed at around 4 to 6 knots, averaging about 5 knots. At that rate, they could cover up to about 100 nautical miles per day, meaning a direct journey without delays would take roughly 6 days, or about a week.

Flight time would be about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the specific route.

Our @fediforum@mastodon.social demo is up! 🔥

We showed off Bonfire Mosaic and our ongoing work on federated groups and new publisher tools we’ve been co-designing with jacobin.de, including federated discussion threads that can be embedded on their existing website.

Built on our modular framework for community-governed digital spaces.

L'Italia è un paese talmente fascista, e al governo sono talmente "patrioti" e pronti a difendere gli italiani, che i cittadini italiani perseguitati da stati canaglia con ritorsioni e restrizioni alla libertà personale per aver detto la verità legale e morale su un #genocidio colonialista in corso trovano protezione soltanto dai capi di stato di altre nazioni.

An article has been published[1] explaining how to prevent #Chrome from downloading the #Gemini Nano model on #Windows via a Registry change. But it seems to me that such a method is only effective for as long as Google respects that policy in the Registry, doesn't change its name/path, etc.

Instead, has anybody tried creating an empty weights.bin file in the relevant location[2], and then removing all permissions from that file so that Chrome can't read, write, replace, or do anything else with it?

Ich hab selten ein so ambitioniertes Projekt wie @funfacts gesehen: das Format präsentiert täglich Nachrichten mit extra dafür geschriebenen Pointen, jedes mal moderiert von einer anderen Person der Öffentlichkeit - komplett selbst finanziert.
Falls ihr noch nicht davon gehört habt, empfehle ich euch "meine" Folge - das Thema ist leider weiterhin aktuell:

Browser choice still sucks and you must choose one of:

- spies on you
- ugly
- doesn't work

I am sticking with Ugly for now, but keep Doesn't Work around for Apple Pay and Spies On You for websites built by shitty engineers.

@thomasfuchs There used to be a website "How to destroy the Earth" that started with something like "Destroying all life on Earth is much easier than destroying the planet" and then went into more and more silly ways you could actually destroy the planet. I liked the matter cannon where you kept firing chunks of the planet off at escape velocity.

@cwebber I'm still playing Everquest (on Linux, even).

Luckily I learned self control at some point. At least a little bit.

@jaredwhite the mad men were, in fact, quite mad

@dave Is this going to be an ongoing thing?

I'd love to use it to help keep AI slop from overwhelming Overcast’s search ranking.

@magnusmanske

To get it right, the controversy is
- you wrote code yourself,
- you used a bot to rewrite it,
- you revised it and checked the quality,
- you are satisfied with it and
- you would still be able to rewrite it yourself with a much larger time budget.

It is not clearn room design, likely keeps the license and your authorship

So it's a bit hard for me to see the controversy.

Every piece covering Trump's counterterrorism strategy should START by reminding that he freed adjudged terrorists on his first day on the job, and Todd Blanche is pushing to restore their ability to rearm. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
