First time I hear about oil shell. Funny name, but that aside, I have a hard time taking a shell seriously that started out written in python. They describe it as having "python-like types", interesting. And they say it's a s

(sarcastic take on the article) Well, thank god it can only be used for Russian or Chinese disinformation. We just need to ban anything Russian or Chinese and we are safe! Do avoid mass outrage among our own western population, we can facil

I keep seeing artist use acrylic paint, such a blatant rip off of long established art styles. This has to stop. EDIT: let me take this opportunity to also point out how better copyright enforcement could have saved us from the likes of thi

Sorry, I did not check the repo itself, I don't think I even have a cvs client anymore. On the linked page there's a section prominently placed, titled "Latest News". If you check there, the latest of such news is titled

latest update appears from 2009? Including instructions on how to fetch from cvs? Makes me a bit nostalgic, but not sure if this is relevant anymore

Hm, that was the whole point of my argument I believe. That this is an inherent left-leaning position, regardless of who is subscribing to it; possibly because in the discussion on how to handle such healthcare, it defends the social and id

Typically, if there is no majority in opposition of a position, it is typically referred to as "consensus". I do not understand your argument. Germany has a left-leaning position on health care, historically introduced and defende

So a consensus position is by definition center? So (democratic) countries can't lean to either side of the spectrum because by definition their positions are supported by the majority, and thus a center position?

Can you give me an example of such a position? I would argue that, for example, social programs in Europe are more popular, but still following a left-leaning position that is just more broadly accepted
10.
by 0xblood 4y ago
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that the same positions would count as "center" in Europe while "left" in the US? And what would be an example of a "large hierarchical structure" without a clear

What a weird argument. I guess you also don't use encryption ever because authoritarian governments can just extort the keys from you. Somehow I doubt you grew up in an USSR country or ever cared about the life back then in more detail

Encouraging children to read is not a crime and nobody ever claimed that it was, will be, or should be.

This page states it was introduced with 1.7, which was released a long time ago (maybe 2 years?) and it's still in prototype stage since. I have never used it since then, and given how bad the less popular parts of PyTorch tend to be,

Almost more interesting in that article I found that Sama, the Kenyan company, was also asked to collect CP and brutal/gore images for OpenAI. After delivering 1400 images, Sama cancelled the contract as this was even too much for them

Doesn't apply to the JPL folks I've met throughout my life but for the rest I guess I have to take your word for it. I'm not sure if your comment was just a sarcastic joke though, in which case I completely missed it

Looks like somebody is _really_ running a campaign against gas. It's fine if you like induction, like it's fine if you like Apple products. Just leave me alone about it, will you?

I usually assume OpenAI is actually Microsoft already, as they are one of the lead investors and from what I've heard quite involved there. It's kind of a trick to appear "open" and not tainted by the Microsoft brand but

I believe Deflemask uses exactly the same SID emulation, so it should sound the same? Haven't compared it because I don't have Windows

Acceleration does not make accidents more likely (well, technically, without the ability to accelerate, it'll be impossible to have a car crash, I guess?). Risky behavior makes accidents more likely. Not being able to control your mach

Such regulation could not be enforced just because it would be hugely impractical to measure and monitor. That aside, I don't understand your problem with it

The problem is that everyone is aware of this, which in turn makes the threat useless - because if everyone agrees that its primary purpose is to scare and not to be used, nobody is scared anymore. This can only be countered by increasing t

The only interesting point in that article was that it openly calls China an adversary of the US.

If I want to do bitwise operations on an integer, and I want to set/mask the MSB (maybe it's just a bitfield for me), I mask with INT_NAN? That also sounds very weird

by 0xblood 4y ago
I don't really understand it, wouldn't this just trade the checks and corner cases you have to pay attention to with different set of corner cases? If I have an integer that can approach INT_MIN, I know I have to pay attention to
