One has to remember they're crooks through and through. They're doing it by retoggling the checkbox because it offers them plausible deniability. "Oh, side effect of a recent update, silly us, we'll improve QA, sorry !&q

The whole thing should ideally have a quick modal with hotkeys when you first open it (and a small button to bring it up again if needed).

In other words it's a great clickbait title, yet still a bad title.

Thank you ! I imagined it was a cultural thing, good to know.

Maybe google is an exception (but then again, maybe that payout was part marketing to draw more researchers).

I read this often, and I guess it could be true, but those kinds of transaction would presumably go through DNM / forums like BF and the like. Which means crypto, and full anonymity. So either the buyer trusts the seller to deliver, or

A more reasonable response than my admittedly slightly aggressive comment deserved. Indeed, we'll see.

So you did use LLMs to write at least part of the software. I imagine you feel no shame, but it would be nice to at least mention it on the github page. It's a security risk. As for your question, I don't know about the person you

There is no "intelligence" in LLMs; they're text predictors. As far as I can tell the whole LLM technology has limited applications in entertainment and that's about it. "Hallucinations" (even that term is prob

As someone who exclusively uses emacs for all their editing, some nice topics there; though a bit miffed it's all video only. Although this, from the page linked, was pretty fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urcL86Up

Much of the soil in Russia that will warm is indeed acidic and largely inexploitable, which I suspect is what you were getting at; to their credit though, they picked an area that isn't (IIRC). Not that it changes much.

We're at +1.5C, more or less, and growing the usual grapes in France - of all places - is already becoming much harder (they keep dying of frost after waking up due to wild temperature swings). At +5C, there is no growing food in any s

by duozerk 2y ago
You can't grow food for a large population when average planetary temps are at +5C. It doesn't mean it's locally always +5C warmer than it used to be; it means you're seeing insane temperature swings in a matter of days,

Giving you the benefit of the doubt you're not trolling, it seems you're laboring under the belief that, say, "2C of warming" means it'll always be 2C hotter where people live. It does not. It means the mean will

At 4C of heating, you cannot grow food in any reasonable quantity with any reliability, period. 4C is the collapse of modern civilization at the very least (in fact likely earlier due to increased geopolitical instability and tensions due
