I don't understand how AI is any different than going to Fiverr. I can specify what I want in the style I want, and have a human do it versus a computer. "I want a black and white logo in the style of an 1960's Archie comic f

Search engines wouldn't work without the fair use doctrine, period. Otherwise a google search would be something like hundreds of thousands of dollars of copyright violations per search. OpenAI doesn't seem to do anything differe

20 years ago now, Cinepaint and FilmGimp were forks of Gimp that supported 16bit color and were used in Hollywood for big budget movies, because they were the best software for the time. I was getting into photography about then, and was d

There is nothing that in the law that allows the libraries to defend whether a book is harmful to minors once the challenge is made. So any challenged books have to go into the adults-only section. 26% of books challenged in 2023 had no se

The contacts in a socket can oxidize and go bad. Or the relay can get jostled out of the socket during a move. It would be cheaper to ship a replacement PCB with the fridge.

Guido is part of the community, not the community. At least not anymore. Go to pycon and try to talk to him. He doesn't want to talk to just anyone. And he's not great at accepting feedback. We love him, of course. But the

Well, on the other hand, the only way out for a "Dictator" in the "BDFL" is to resign or be overthrown. He decided to resign, which is probably for the best. Otherwise a fork would have forced the decision, and been w

Check out this IPSOS poll that says otherwise. That was run in January. Yet somehow by May both of the upopular candidates won their national primaries. https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/most-americans-are-dissatisfied-...

I'm glad he's stepped down. His opinion matters to be sure, but python needs to be a community developed language. He's a smart guy, and he matters still to the python community. There was a tremendous amount of frustration

You're looking maybe for the Tadpole or maybe Macrolink. Both were bought by other companies. Here's an article from 2000. https://www.militaryaerospace.com/home/article/16710746/rugg...

I have a 3d printer, and I thought the gridfinity system would be awesome, but the biggest problem is that they need to be printed. Printing the plates takes a couple hours per plate. And I don't typically want to be in the same room

Another stupid question. How much of that is your total portfolio? More than 30%? Less than 30%? Less than 30% means that you're still ok if double fails. More than 30% means you have a significant portion riding on it. If you'
