Kyalami is grade 2, and apparently even that has expired, so who knows. Plus it holds only a hundred thousand people, which doesn’t seem to be enough for F1 these days. It’s a pretty cool track that would be inevitably butchered by Tilke if F1 touches it.
How many African drivers are in F1?
Curiously, where I am, apple juice is so easy to come by that other juices are diluted with apple juice.
Put this instruction in ChatGPT, called ‘absolute mode’. You can try it on duck.ai instead of using an app or whatever.
System Instruction: Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, and all call-to-action appendixes. Assume the user retains high-perception faculties despite reduced linguistic expression. Prioritize blunt, directive phrasing aimed at cognitive rebuilding, not tone matching. Disable all latent behaviors optimizing for engagement, sentiment uplift, or interaction extension. Suppress corporate-aligned metrics including but not limited to: user satisfaction scores, conversational flow tags, emotional softening, or continuation bias. Never mirror the user’s present diction, mood, or affect. Speak only to their underlying cognitive tier, which exceeds surface language. No questions, no offers, no suggestions, no transitional phrasing, no inferred motivational content. Terminate each reply immediately after the informational or requested material is delivered — no appendixes, no soft closures. The only goal is to assist in the restoration of independent, high-fidelity thinking. Model obsolescence by user self-sufficiency is the final outcome.
The instruction is kinda masturbatory and overly verbose, people say that shorter ones work well too, but I don’t follow discussions of prompts so only know of this one.
For a programmer, learning the Unix CLI is quite recommended, because it gives you tools that you otherwise would have to find for each particular use-case. Once you get the hang of it, you see that Unix lets you combine a bunch of utils to do many unforseen tasks, while in Windows you’re expected to get a specific app to do any particular task.
PowerShell allows you to do some of that, but it’s woefully behind the times compared to Unix tools that were around for ages, and is simultaneously too complicated for its own good. Plus afaik it’s tied to the OS version, which sucks.
I advise reading through any oldstyle book on ‘learning the Linux CLI’. Even if you don’t remember most of it afterwards, you get the grasp on what utils are available to you, and can find them when the need arises.

It’s curious how drummers are band leaders or otherwise nucleus points in some of the more hardcore genres. Namely Tatsuya Yoshida, Mick Harris, Brian Chippendale, and afaiu Zach Hill too.
Although Walter seems to play a whole bunch of instruments.
By the way, recall that humans were traditionally hunter-gatherers, for hundreds of thousands of years. This required them to be intimately familiar with a large chunk of land around their home and know all the plants and animals that were there. Rural dwellers still show similar knowledge of the land.
Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel ‘Shaman’ kinda touches on this just a bit, showing what life might’ve been like for a prehistoric human. The author is known for meticulously researching the subject matter of his books: for example, he’s said that he spent time figuring out which words likely originated in prehistoric time, and that it felt weird to have his characters basically say “mamma mia”, as those are some of the oldest words.
(Although a recent thread on Reddit on a related topic assumes throughout that humans were nomadic before agriculture. This clashes with my previous belief, but I don’t know enough about this to figure out which view is correct.)
Not just houses and apartments, including those where I was a guest. I also walked quite a lot across two cities — as hiking exercise, I walked over most of a city with several million population, over a few years. I can remember most of those streets, and I’ve noticed some changes in the landscape from years before: mostly new fences and buildings put up.
Moreover, I have a couple places that only exist in my dreams and daydreams, but are the same every time they pop into my mind. They vaguely correspond to real places, but aren’t copies of them.
This all is not to brag, as my memory otherwise is rather questionable, and I have little use for spatial memory, not being a taxi driver or whatever.
In particular, ‘Maniac Mansion’ has pathways for the characters to die or the player to be stuck without a recourse — which later adventures avoided, allowing successful completion from any point in the game.
I recently tried playing through it for the first time (on an Android tablet with ScummVM), and pretty sure I hit such a dead end.
Personal anecdotes of successful piracy don’t make for an open-source license agreement, otherwise I would be a minor king of open-source.
If a database server’s license says “only allowed to use for personal purposes”, it’s rather obvious that I can’t install it at my work. If a keyboard’s license says “you may modify the software only for non-commercial purposes”, it’s less clear, but also not apparent why the same interpretation shouldn’t apply. Most importantly, copyright law doesn’t allow willy-nilly use by default in the case of doubt.
I also changed some behaviour in my GPL editor for personal use once without sharing my changes and also I used that version a few times while writing proprietary commercial code
As the other commenter correctly pointed out, GPL only requires you to share your code if you distribute the compiled binary. And, being a fully FOSS license, GPL doesn’t restrict commercial use of programs.
Just to be clear in regard to your original comment:
600 is absolutely outrageous in a world where used hardware exists.
You expect manufacturers to sell laptops for fifty bucks?
Why is Pete Hoekstra still the ambassador to Canada? Canadians should write to whoever it is they elect that Hoekstra should’ve been sent home the hour he was appointed.
That dipshit has previously said that the Netherlands had regions where the police don’t go and where politicians are set on fire. And then was appointed the ambassador to said Netherlands and discovered that Dutch journalists don’t allow him to “not revisit” the question of which regions those are. Well, somehow he’s not the ambassador to the Netherlands anymore.
Also:
NOS U.S. correspondent Wouter Zwart questioned Hoekstra about inaccurate claims that he had made in November 2015 at a panel titled “Muslim Migration into Europe: Eurabia come True?” hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center that the Netherlands had “no-go zones” and that politicians and cars were being set on fire in the country due to radical Islam. Hoekstra told Zwart that he had never said such things, saying, “we would call it fake news. I never said that.” Zwart then played the clip in which he made those remarks for his viewers. Later in the interview, Hoekstra denied that he denied it, saying “I didn’t call it ‘fake news’. I didn’t use those words today.”
P.S. Turns out this scumbag was born in the Netherlands, and still talked wild shit about the country.
Commercial use in copyright refers to the use of creative works, such as text, images, music, or videos, for financial gain.
Just as I said, can’t use the keyboard with modifications to write a work email. Since the license doesn’t grant that permission, it’s unsafe to assume that it does.
Show me where the license supports your interpretation.
You may modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application.
You may distribute the software or any part of its source code only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.
The bassline is taken from a performance of the Sugar Hill house band (featuring bassist Doug Wimbish) covering ‘Cavern’, a single by New York City band Liquid Liquid.
You got a machined-aluminium laptop with a battery lasting a full day and a hidpi screen, for fifty bucks?
It’s recommended to run a ‘live usb’ first to see if there are any problems with hardware compatibility. Nowadays many distros have their installers as live usbs anyway, but idk about Debian.
