  • after “all of the above” they specify the 30kph as “if it’s only a raised border”

    Yes, that’s why I asked if they really meant “all of the above” - I rather suspect they were just referring to the other measures that do make sense for both protected and unprotected cycle paths (only bicyclists allowed, distinctive paint schemes etc).

    a 2-3in stepped concrete block and keeping the cycling lane raised

    pretty sure this is what is meant by protected cycle lane - some kind of kerb between the cycle lane and the motor vehicle lane. There are many cycle lanes like this in Europe and they are unquestionably way safer. FYI you don’t need to have the cycle path raised to the same height as the kerb - many do not do that, and just have a line of raised kerb stones on the traffic side of the bike lane.



  • The case has apparently been suspended while she undergoes a psychological evaluation.

    But even if she does have some kind of mental illness or fetishisation of infancy, it wouldn’t necessarily make her not criminally liable, would it? According to the article, it does look like she’s motivated in large part for personal material gain:

    "The couple told police Oliveira first approached them at an evangelical church they attended, introducing herself as “Gabrielle” and claiming to be 18 years old. She reportedly said she was experiencing financial and health difficulties, prompting the couple to take her in.

    She later allegedly changed her story, claiming she was in fact 11 but appeared older because her father had forced her to take hormones and had sexually abused her. She also allegedly persuaded the family not to enrol her in school or formalise any adoption process, arguing that doing so could enable her father to find her.

    The alleged deception unravelled after an aunt who occasionally visited the family became suspicious of Oliveira’s age. After searching online, she found reports of a similar case in Rio de Janeiro three years earlier in which Oliveira had allegedly deceived another family."

    At first blush, this looks great to me. Are there limitations with what models it will work with? In particular, can you use this on a lightweight model that will run in 16 Gb RAM to prevent it hallucinating? I’ve experimented a little with running ollama as an NPC AI for Skyrim - I’d love to be able to ask random passers-by if they know where the nearest blacksmith is for instance. It was just far too unreliable, and worse it was always confidently unreliable.

    This sounds like it could really help these kinds of uses. Sadly I’m away from home for a while so I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to get back on my home rig.


  • This is what I’m doing. I recently switched from the email service offered by my web host to Zoho Mail. I pay them $12 a year for a couple of gigabytes storage (which isn’t a whole lot but enough for me and I’m cheap).

    As someone else says elsewhere, as well as changing the MX records to the new server, you need to add SPF, DKIM and D-MARC records in your DNS to ensure mail you send is accepted by the receiver’s mail server.
