I kinda stopped reading where it started to equate a movie's box office revenue with its success. A successful movie is a movie that entertains its audience, not one that makes a few people rich. The correlation is there, but it's

I think it's a recent thing. I first heard about this analogy some time in the 2010s.

The correct response to this is more whistleblowing representing more diverse interests, not less.

As someone who doesn't follow the standardization process, I would love an explanation how proposals like this fail even when they have widespread support and no downsides. Is there an easy answer to this or is it different from case t

Can't speak for the OP, but more than once I've run into a case where I need the form tags to be nested in the DOM, for reasons relating to the page structure but not the form contents. I would like nested form elements to just be

First a whole screen-long ad, and then an intrusive “subscribe to newsletter!!” pop-up. Why is anybody upvoting this?

The first obviously-better idea is to use a/b instead of \frac{a}{b} and (x) instead of \left(x\right). The next obvious improvement is to allow (not require — allow) me to write α instead of \alpha, ∈ instead of \in, and ≤ instead of.

I'm excited for the project, but disappointed that they kept the arcane syntax of TeX/LaTeX. Math expressions are hideous to write and read in LaTeX syntax.

I've always thought of Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Del/Shift+Ins as an accessibility feature for left-handed people like me.

What medium are you thinking of where messages can't be copy & pasted?

It's not ironic at all. Stable Diffusion is open-source and free software. Copilot is a for-pay, closed-source commercial product.

You are correct.

by Timwi 4y ago
Well, I can't speak for others, but my obsession is not with the lack of credit per se, but with the shameless profiteering off of it. If it were just open-source and free for everyone, I wouldn't care.

Nobody would complain about an AI that does that, either. The problem isn't that the AI read some code and learnt from it. The problem is that it spits it back out, but without attribution. It's like listening to a song and then r

> copyright is the legal mechanism by which that is done. That doesn't mean there can't be other legal mechanisms that would also accomplish software freedom. Closed-source software should just be illegal. Then you don't n

by Timwi 4y ago
The correct solution to this is to make closed-source software illegal. If everyone has full access to all code, then it's not possible to plagiarize in secret. It's open for everyone to see and to call out. Then you don't ne

In operating systems, we call that cooperative multitasking (everything up to DOS+Windows 3.11, where software is allowed to hog the CPU until it explicitly yields) versus preemptive multitasking (Windows 95 onwards, where software is regul

How many other thesaurus websites have you examined? It sounds like you assumed thesaurus.com was the only one in existence. (Personally I use freethesaurus.com, and if I need more synonyms, Merriam-Webster.com.)

What would engage everyone a bit more in how the country runs is to let everyone have a say in how the country runs. You can't expect people to “engage” when they just get ignored and politicians do what they want anyway.

Once upon a time, links had an underline and buttons had a beveled frame. We seen to have somehow come to accept the visual designers’ claim that, for some reason, we can't do that anymore.
