It only takes one man to prove that it's possible. That makes it a moral matter.

That's only relevant if socialized medicine forces you to pay for the moral failures of other people, though. Spending your own money to feel better is widely accepted behavior.

It's an indication how few people consider license infringements as a matter of actual moral import. Those tend to evoke strong feelings.

The guy is actually way too unspecific about the details there to make much sense of the canonical relevance, which renders the resulting anxiety rather comical.

Are you asking why a filter doesn't suffice, or why uBO doesn't automatically load the userscript? The answer to the former is that the script swaps in a low-res replacement stream while the ad is running, which I don't think

This might not qualify according to one's perspective, but: Twitch. Twitch takes a userscript to block ads. UBO Full can run userscripts, uBO Lite can't, so now you need an additional extension to run the script. Of course, if you

I think that's rather silly. If it's a public place, and I have the right to be there and see all these faces with my eyes, why can't I exercise this right mediated by a camera?

What's your approach for dealing with a text too long for an ordinary context window? If I split it into chunks, each one needs some kind of summary of the previous ones for context, and I'm always unsure how detailed they should

If that's the point, shouldn't they ask the model to explain the principle for any number of discs? What's the benefit of a concrete application?

These kind of comments are the equivalent of going to dog owners' forums, analyzing word choices in every post and warning the dog owners about the dangers of anthropomorphizing their pets, an effort as accurate as it is boorish and in

This seems to introduce a lot of ambiguity to the concept of being public, in the sense that physical presence is being distinguished from a mediated, virtual presence, and the latter is considered somewhat tainted. The same peculiar notion

> Well the Bible was written some 300 years after all of this happened. Are you perhaps confusing writing with the process of canonization? Common estimates would place the writing of the youngest book of the Bible at 95-120 AD.

I've noticed people will routinely prompt for a specific style when generating visual art, but not when generating text. Wouldn't it be better for consistency to add something like "in the style of Hemingway" to an exper

Wouldn't that only be true if the vote thresholds are absolute? If the impact of a vote is adjusted based on voters present, it should scale.

This discussion is complicated by the fact that a vtuber in character is identical with his avatar, so he will refer to his avatar in first person, e.g. "My camera broke, I'll be a png-tuber today."
