They've been doing this for years. I don't know if it's to try and circumvent Ukrainian defenses or to provoke a reaction to sell to domestic audiences though.

I'm presumably missing something here. Why does tmux et al not work? Remotely? Ie you're logged in locally and remotely to the same machine, log out locally which kills everything running remotely, but then why would you log in tw

If + silently gets translated to adding 2 numbers or joining 2 strings that is operator overloading, no matter how it's done under the hood. If python had you write e1.__add__(e2) Or S1.__join__(s2) Then you would have 2 distinct opera

Problem is. The law isn't actually what is written. Lawyers aren't truthful or honest. Being a lawyer is just getting a licence to lie in court, and for some reason the judge takes it seriously. Lawyers are going to use ai, becaus

See now this is why I don't quite get everyone jumping on the rust bandwagon. This is a limitation of the rust model. You could have a language where intrusive linked lists are provably safe. That's not to say rust doesn't wo

So you have a dogmatic belief, not based on evidence then.

Cool, hope this is successful. I've commented previously about doing exactly this more as a form of alternative energy storage or just to use 'free' energy. Good to know I wasn't speaking completely out of my arse.

What the bloody hell are you taking about. Minnesota is further south than the UK. Southern Minnesota is the same latitude as the Mediterranean coast. Learn some facts before spouting bs.

Well as I said, I'm a liberal, not a libertarian. I don't believe in small government or the power of the free market in a political sense. I do believe in freedom of speech and allowing others that freedom, even if I disagree wit

Is that plug in like in the article? Any recommendations for where to buy? In the UK.

We generalise about non technical users all the time. Why is it unfair to generalise a subset of those users? What you term 'projecting' is my own experience, where I am supporting backing the experience of someone else. Yes we ma

If they aren't willing to vet, they should at least be keeping the update minimal. Ie no 'sidecar' apps. Self signing a driver should mean just that, not a driver, and a load of other things we feel like foisting on the user.

There's still a security there though. You have confidence you are actually downloading the same foo as everyone else. And if there were an issue there would be pushback. Not so if you get some random exe from warez.com Yes it isn&#x27

Are you disputing that the repos are vetted or that users use them???

Anyone who has the skills to create a novel bioweapon has the skills to recreate lots of ones we have already. Any physics teacher should know the theory for constructing a nuclear bomb. Should we be controlling that knowledge too? What abo

Well I think that is the greater question. Is AI just an algorithm. Is human creativity just an algorithm? Who, if anyone should own the copyright if you prompt AI to write a book? I'm thinking more from a moral and philosophical pov,

I kind of assumed the model would process the text 'directly', from what I understand, wouldn't this be biasing the input based on how you tokenise as it's lossy? I assume this tradeoff is purely for speed/compressi

I'd like to know the link between availability of csam and CSA. There seems to be an assumption that the former causes the latter. That's not to say it's acceptable if illegally produced. We have issues in the UK. So far they

Most of the west had/have bomb shelters and other things for a nuclear attack. "Fairies and elves" suggest it's impossible. It isn't impossible, just very difficult. I'm here in bed conversing with someone on t

Off the top of my head. Compilers. You may know that a value has known 1s and 0s and unknowns. This would allow you to represent that for optimisation purposes.

But it's still hotter than any previous time 2 typhoon fighters landed. So unless you want to put that down to the new houses put up, it means that temperatures have gone up.
