Hmmm interesting idea!

I think your biggest limitations are going to be contrast and exposure bleed. First of all, typically mixing dyes of different colors (especially plant pigments which are not likely to be super dense), you get brown rather than black. For contrast, I think you'd be limited again by the lack of color density in your pigments, but as long as you're OK with pastel colors, that could work.

For exposure, at least based on the Wikipedia page you linked, you're talking one layer taking a 2h exposure. Trying to do say three layers would then take six hours, so whatever you're using as a mask has to be super absorbent or reflective to UV (think very thick black paper or tinfoil). Anything else, and your underlying layers are going to bleach somewhat.

Not familiar with HeliumOS specifically, but for a generic atomic distro I would try layering Python temporarily, and then getting rid of it when you're done.

Ive tried Scribus, and found the interface very hard to get used to. For folks coming from Adobe, I find Inkscape the easiest for design. I would use a separate program for cropping, I don't have a great recommendation for that.

In chemistry a lot of the foundational synthesis and work is as old as the 60s and 70s; people build on it, but in some cases those early papers said pretty much all there is to be said on a topic, so there's no reason to republish on it.

I've had to cite papers as old as the late 30s before, because no one has ever found anything to fix or correct about their work! Pretty impressive if you ask me, given how few tools they had.

Truly. Also the springer nature ones load so slowly for absolutely no reason, and break 10% of the time. I really don't get what their motivation is, do they think that after I've said no, I dont want a web version, I will be happy with a different web version?

Fusion used to work but autodesk changed the redirects in their login system, so it no longer does...

Tragic. Especially since there's no reason Fusion couldn't be a webapp or PWA, autodesk already made it annoyingly cloud-focused.

Can second this: direct heating of anything is always going to be more efficient. Also, only ~25% of incident energy on a PV cell is actually captured as electriciy (see here for theoretical backing), and the rest is lost in a lot of ways, but much of it is converted to heat at the PV cell, and if you're capturing that you're using direct heating anyhow.

Can confirm that the asusd and and asus-linux work fine on Bluefin and Ubuntu/mint; the Devs dont support X11 (which Mint is still on), but you can build it with the X11 flags on the GH repo and it works fine.

Is that true? I thought that pairs of USB-A ports shared the same PCIe lanes, and USB-C each got their own set?

Edit: thinking about it a bit more, I suppose it could depend on how the SOC/chipset allocates those lanes, but in my experience when writing a single USB I'm usually limited by the thermals of the USB, and writing well below the speed of the port. I suppose if you were writing many at once (or if your USBs were nice) that could bottleneck on the port speed.

Caaaaaalllllllzzzzooooonnnnneeeeeesssss!

Ummm or the authors are concerned about retribution because stallman and the FSF are very powerful in the FOSS community, and I think it's reasonably likely that they would be sued (seemingly with poor grounds) or harassed online for publishing it.

Good point. Though, the vast majority of ML training and use is tensor math on floating points, so largely dot and cross products, among other matrix operations.

I think you're thinking of the famous fast inverse square root algorithm from Quake.

With respect to the top comment, the only reason 3d graphics are possible (even at 850W of power consumption) is due to taking a bunch of shortcuts and approximations like culling of polygons. If its a reasonable shortcut it either has or will be taken.

Good question. Odd not to include one.

How did I miss that...

Royal Swiss?

God can you imagine buying a game on the Microsoft store? Even for free, the MS store is a place I refuse to have any degree of lock-in into.

I mean you can do HTML -> TeX -> PDF with Pandoc, or to any other format pretty much. I would say writing markdown and passing it to TeX or directly to PDF is the most practical.

Jabref is great. Also, if you need other formats you can always import the bibtex file into Zotero.

No worries, it's pretty hard to keep track when their naming scheme is "it has a K in it"...
