That's reassuring to know, thank you for pointing that out. I didn't get the impression this was already solved since you still keep hearing about battery fires, but hopefully this means that will be a thing of the past soon. I wo

Personally, I will install batteries in my cellar when they no longer spontaneously burst into flames that are impossible to put out. But this shouldn’t even be a requirement as long as you can feed it into the grid.

I read it as “Why const x sect.” (why constant cross section?), but it’s hard to make out.

Why? Most people are capable of fixating at a single point with basically no perceptible eye movement.

Easy to fix, give creators an option to make all tiers cost one quadrillion USD on the iOS app (or whatever the upper limit is for in-app purchases). Technically they are complying with Apple's demands while also allowing creators to g

I assumed (heard somewhere) that they only include open source repos in the training data. Turns out I was wrong. They don't care. https://web.archive.org/web/20210708165143/https://twitter.c...

Yes, that is clear. But personally I wouldn't want to write FOSS code anyway until Copilot learns to properly attribute FOSS code. Switching to a more permissive license later on shouldn't be an issue.

Should we move to modified versions of FOSS licenses that forbid AI training? Found this: https://github.com/non-ai-licenses/non-ai-licenses Legally sound or not, these should at least prevent your code from being incl

So much opportunity for anti-competitive behaviour. The "canonical representation" of C# could just be a memory dump of Visual Studio. Your code is held hostage forever. Everything you create belongs to Microsoft. You have to drin

The argument is between burning already existing plastic vs letting it rot.

So does any microorganism that can break down plastic, but without heating your home.

Sapir-Whorf, in its original form, claims language influences your perception of reality. Its "stronger" form, linguistic determinism, claims language determines your thoughts. I claim neither of those things. I claim that, sinc

Sapir-Whorf states that language affects the way you perceive reality. I only stated that it affects your way of thinking, i.e. the set of ideas you are capable of having. It is ironic that the existence of this very concept in the English

They had Europe's most accomplished public speaker and its best propagandist at their disposal, both of whom had a better understanding, or at least a more insidious approach, to crowd psychology than perhaps anyone at the time.

But having one gives a platform for those narratives to spread and potentially become dominant. To be clear, I'm not saying freedom of press between countries should be eliminated (quite the contrary!), only that diversity of languages

What I was implying is, language barriers are a firewall against charismatic, manipulative psychopaths trying to brainwash you into doing unspeakable things. They do so by turning "he has a point" into "who is this funny litt

Even if they are not on a great circle, they could be on a circle (still unlikely as 4 of them would have to be aligned with the other 3).

Straws are a negligible [0] part of plastic waste, and the idea they aren't stems from research by a 9-year-old child [1]. We don't have to replace all single-use plastic, just those that matter. [0] https://www.nationa
