Along with everything else. Almost like having a fascist dictatorship isn't really a very competent way to run a country no matter what the size.

The market is also effectively an oligopoly and not really an open market, so there isn't the usual chance of new players coming in to pick up niches or start competing on price.

Surely there's some other source to this than xitter?

Yes. That's the defining difference to guerrilla warfare.

With Github, both of those things are gated behind Microsoft accounts, which will be an absolute no to a lot of volunteers. Particularly the ones who would fix that problem.

Better yet, try selling something (or offering services) that Visa doesn't like.

Cards and accounts often allow the owner to set those limits for e.g. withdrawals or transfers etc. There's often a separate limit for home country and abroad. They're there to limit damage that might be caused by user error or st

> One fired an AR-15 at the police, which goes beyond legitimate protest into inciting violence (and maybe even deliberate provocation) Sounds like attempted murder for a start rather than incitement or provocation. Or worse, given there

I think a lot of people might be excited by a typeface or other text system that would highlight tells of LLM "tainted" text.

Artificial intelligence is a huge research field and has been for closer to 50 years. It's taught in schools. It has hard theory and praxis. Not everything, but adversarial algorithms are absolutely core AI. LLMs are a tiny blip in it.

Comparing that to a real camera: I can "quick draw" pick up a Nikon DSLR that's off, flick the power switch and hit the shutter button one handed in one motion as fast as I can move and there's a good picture on the scre

C strings (sentinel terminated strings) are infinite. Anything less than infinite is shorter than that. Anything with a known length is shorter than that. This makes them generic. Same type of constraint as you see in many algorithms.

It makes perfect sense when you consider text files. When line ends, next line obviously starts from column zero. CR is the only wrong choice. There's never a reason to go to start of line without erasing the line or moving to next lin

Same as any separator. Either it's not in acceptable set of non-separator input or there's an escape (that can also escape itself for the literal).

It's not books or things. It's (>90%) books and little bits of many kinds of other things.

Yes. But about 200+ currency units especially in used gear can get you something genuinely usable, if you know what to look for. But knowing and variety is a problem in itself. Not so lucky if you want e.g. a sax bigger than an alto, a bass

I'm probably in the middle of the stat myself and know people from both sides. My first thought was also that a lot of parents and children visit libraries almost daily and pupils and students visit libraries on school breaks and after

A relative used to drive the library bus where I grew up in. Getting a library card must be one of my earliest memories. Along with learning the alphabet and skiing.

Most of the things I've made are probably bags and covers or other containers for things. You can make the designs very simple with some thought and bespoke sizes are often useful and impossible to buy. Upholstery would be really inter

I guess that technically depends on the software used to run the model, but in general it's always been possible to run on a CPU (and may even be possible to run on TPU or something else). It's just been slower. Likewise GPU RAM v

It was something like that. I can't recall if my first was Yggdrasil or SLS/Slack but it was a stack of floppies in a folder.

I remember some people booting firewalls off CD-R's. Burn a new one when it needed an update. Booting with no writable media at all, truly an immutable distro.

Yes. Also X in 1bpp was not even rare (e.g. Sun bwtwo).

UK, shipping rates within one click and they don't look bad. I guess I should take a look at the selection. Thank you.
