I think this completely misses the point... the point is that Meta pirated the media they used to train their model. I am not a fan of US copyright law, but if I torrented millions of books, I would be facing a felony charge in criminal c

Yeah, it's already egregious how resource intensive browsing the web can be, between the browser and the content its loading. Why should we just accept that Google will force another performance hit by loading up an AI model as well?

There are two commits in the PR, the second of the two seems to update the fallback config to avoid the inconsistency that Copilot was complaining about.

Immediately after leaving this thread I saw a post on Bluesky where someone was discussing the GUARD act and used AV to mean "age verification." It's out of control!

The X-Files reminds me that there was a time when conspiracy theories were funny and cool and not something that members of our government earnestly believed and used as the basis for their legislative agenda.

Yeah, I kind of agree with your semi-sarcastic take. While that salary is well above the US average, the fact is that they almost certainly don't make enough to own or rent a home in DC, and a second home in their constituency. It all

It depends on the law in question. Civil law typically requires that the plaintiff's cause of action and desired remedy be defined in the relevant code or statute. This doesn't mean the average person is powerless; every civil cod

Buddy, it's gambling; the gambler decides how much they want to bet. I'm struggling to see how gambling monopolies make things worse for gamblers when the very nature of gambling is that the house always wins.

Idk why people who hate women can't resist telling on themselves like this. What makes you think this line of thinking is acceptable, or even rational?

More like Heroes of Might and Magic. It's a turn-based strategy game where battles take place on a hex grid map. It's got full campaigns, lots of factions and units, resources to gather... it's one of my favorite OSS projects

No, quickly is correct. Methane in the atmosphere has a lifespan of about 12 years, if I recall correctly. That means that if you stop emitting it, then the warming effect of atmospheric methane would subside over the course of a decade. Th

The Weather Channel did (does?) a segment called "Local on the 8s," where it would play a brief local weather update like this one on time slots ending in 8, which this site replicates.

I mean, I didn't vote for Trump, but I think it should be the US. This administration represents us on the global stage. You may not like it, and it may not feel fair, but we will all have to bear the consequences of their actions. Eve

For sure. Heat pumps aren't the best option everywhere (though modern heat pumps probably function acceptably at lower temperatures than most people realize), but if you need to do electric heating, they are the best option most places
