Pfannkuchen in Berlin not Krapfen, I think?

Go to a judge in a copyright case and argue that humans are parrots. Then tell me how it went.

A language model is not a human. You at least have the possiblity that the human learned something. The language model is a parrot with a large memory. That said Microsoft didn't allow their kern…

I thought so too but it bothers a lot less now that the default style of iteration is "for x in y" instead of looping over indices. In fact I barely think about it. And, yes, for math-y stuf…

Fortran is a case of a language that has grown below the trend of the industry. There are probably more active Fortran projects and developer now than at any point in history. But it became a smaller …

It's pretty cool.

The only thing missing is the actual expert making a clueful statement at the very bottom of the page where nobody reads. Possibly downvoted a couple of times.

It breaks my script that calls /usr/bin/fgrep

> It's mostly political The Nobel prize for peace is literally political. It couldn't be any other thing.

People are way overvaluing this thing right? AI "art", prompt "engineering". All I see is people with too much time throwing words at a parser without understanding what it does un…

Yes, it was possible to observe, and many people did. In fact, it drew a lot of interest and there were usually many observers per ballot... in big population centers. But it is also incredibly hard t…

Brazil has a different threat model than Germany.

It worked well in Stadia.

Yes, seems like the sort of place that dishes our factual statements.

Mona Lisa isn't particularly significant in the history of art. It is now a very important piece of pop culture.

Tec Toy built systems with original ICs for as long as they could (even when the likes of AtGames had moved on to cheap-o reproductions), but they are discontinued so that's impossible. There is …

That's a mistake I will never make again. Your phone number is insecure - but even if wasn't, you are setting yourself up for losing your account forever if you ever forget to transfer all y…

I only use Genie slightly to add a simple UI to my projects - I'm no web dev. Time to first request is as terrible as you would expect, but one can then dynamically iterate on a running interpret…

Not a recent thing, if anything things are getting better over time, just slowly. I remember reading stuff about how "forensic science" has been the realm of quackery for as long as I have k…

In countries where such laws exist, most of the same links that take you to a button will immediately unsubscribe instead. I guess IP addresses are used.

Curiosity about its glow and artificial origin aside, the most common fish in Brazil is the tilapia, which is of African origin. Whatever changes this new fish causes are likely to be a fraction of wh…

Considering we have 80-column conventions and widescreen monitors... no?

Just witness the pitchfork army whenever systemd is mentioned.

> really global -- even between windows This isn't the language though. A runtime in Mathematica is called a kernel. By default, Mathematica uses one. I think base licenses allow you to run tw…

Casio fx991 is the best scientific calculator there is, and it is cheap.

This solution is the law in probably 99% of the countries?
