Or as a Norm MacDonald’s joke:

"A new study shows that Cheese & snacks needs to be stored on the counter, not the cupboard.

More outstanding research from the University of Scooby-Doo"

I think Indians are willing to ignore an encroachment on some of their liberties, as long as there is actual improvement in their daily lives. Its the same as Chinese mainland citizens with the CCP. Living conditions for most Indians is improving rapidly compared to their parents for a majority of Indians. In their minds it’s ok to not have, say freedom of speech, if you can guarantee food on the table, which wasn’t so a decade back.

What most Indians don’t realize that this is a deal with the devil. Letting go of too many rights, or adding more gatekeepers to their freedoms, is going to come bite them in the back. The Indian government has historically had a heavy hand on their citizens for protectionism, something they learnt from their Soviet influence. What remains to be seen is will they ease up in the future, when Indians will eventually start to suffocate in these restrictions.

History can grimly predict this, but I have my fingers crossed.

Wow so its from the duh region in france, here I thought it was just sparkling dumbass

Very true, thanks for your sensitivity @dumbass

This could actually be why they’re entering China. Emerging economies might buy much cheaper older tech from Chinese machines instead of cutting edge &expensive ASML machines… Once the tech is out, Pandoras box can’t be unopened (from ASML’s perspective). Stifling Chinese adoption early might make any Chinese competitor nonviable without govt support. Overall might be worth any retribution from the US.

infinite money you *can’t build successful software

Typo?

If so, that’s a good point! Though vscode source is open & so is typescript. With community input it evolves into what the community wants, not what the sales teams understand consumers want… or want them to want lol.

Most consumers aren’t reasonable consumers like you though. Peer pressure & curiosity is one helluva draw.

I seriously doubt there’ll be meaningful DLC and that the story will be long/entertaining. See the critically acclaimed RDR2,has no big DLC. I doubt it’ll ever come down to $20

I suspect it’ll be a vehicle to push GTA Online 6 or whatever. Even with that, it’ll still be $100. I also doubt it’ll come to steam till 5 years down the line. These are usual Rockstar & 2K shenanigans.

Not being cynical, being (relatively) realistic. Rockstar has a track record of demanding exorbitant prices & fans paying them.

The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

Whoa! Kids don’t care about legal documents but happy guardians? I’m shocked!

No but seriously, the sampling is terrible.

Our study involved surveys, interviews and observations with 41 heterosexual and LGBTQ+ parents from 23 elective co-parent families in the UK, the US and Europe.

Yeah no shit there’s no difference between families in affluent countries. Try sampling in Asia or Africa or first generation immigrants. The kids would get bullied & taunted so badly they’d resent their unmarried parents. The societal outlook on an unmarried couple & children having pride in their family units is a major determinant a child’s happiness.

I’d love if it were Linux but its probably macs, mostly due to their superior battery life (compared to Windows).

Anecdotally my parents bit the bullet switched to Macs after using Windows 11 and all its unnecessary changes from 10. It was death by a thoudand cuts for them, where simple processes like search and printers are radically different than before. If they gotta learn a new system, might as well learn something that works.

Good luck to them! It’d be interesting to see how they prove scraping. Like do you find something unique to your website & then prompt the model to give you just that? So you use the citation/reference features that link to your websites?

Knowing the slimeballs at OpenAI I’d wager they’d have covered their tracks.

EDIT To be clear, I’m not suggesting they deleted evidence, but they “laundered” the data via a public training dataset like Eluther AI’s “the pile”.

I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.

I feel articles like this give off “alien must have built the pyramids” energy. We’ve always been smart, but what modern civilizations have is systematic recording, organization & dispersal of gained knowledge with an amazing efficiency. I think a great example of great ingenuity lost is roman concrete, recipe for which was only recreated recently.

Can anyone tell me the academic benefit of studying/publishing ancient building techniques that confirm modern day methods? Should we not look for unknown/unfamiliar techniques that might have been lost to time?

I love that graphic. Its simple and old school. DNA double helix rising out of a dig site lol. Superb!

Finchy!
