I've been paying for it for years despite running multiple layers of adblock, because I use it a lot and they actually give me the option to pay (and apparently it's a fairly good deal for content creators too). I figure that if m

A statement becomes a personal attack when it's intended as an attack, not simply because it's hurtful to the recipient. For instance, (addressing the pg example you mentioned elsewhere) it's not generally a personal attack w

This was not a personal attack, it was a statement of fact. The user in question was obviously either engaging in bad faith or could not be bothered to read back for ~15 seconds to understand the context of my post. When I pointed this out

I agree that Miculas (the submitter of the original patch) should not have chosen formatting typically associated with direct quotations, but now you're the one putting words in his mouth: he didn't say Ellerman said his (Ellerm

Frankly, if you treat effortful but green contributors the same way you treat grindset morons and LinkedIn jockeys, I would put money on the submission rate from the latter continuing to increase long after most of the former have decided y

On its face, you won't catch me arguing with that. It's a hard problem, for sure.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. This will be my last reply to you.

Do you think there is any reason somebody might want to be credited for work they did other than having the ability to put it on their resume?

Isn't there a switch somewhere on Github (or cloud repository provider of choice) to disable public pull requests? Maintainers who don't want code contributions should avail themselves of it.

I think it's fair to say that conceiving of a prompt and iterating it toward a desirable output can be artistically expressive. Where the comparison with cameras falls down for me is a) at least to date, writing prompts feels a lot

Coding is technique, just like writing prose or laying down brush strokes on canvas or whatever else. All are learned skills, all can be used in the process of artistic creation.

Both are IIUC substantially smaller than the typical minivan, and the recent CR-V redesign especially looks bigger than it is. Honda also has the HR-V, which is a smaller crossover thing with much stronger classic hatchback vibes; not sure

If you need a bigger 3-row vehicle for carrying people, a minivan is by far the most reasonable choice since they tend to have good visibility and crash-compatibility with other vehicles. Low hood height also means they can have pedestrian

I have heard people much more knowledgeable than me say that measuring true zero resistance is actually quite difficult and takes some degree of specialized equipment, especially with such small samples. That may be part of it.

I have no problem saying that a prompt to an AI system and subsequent iteration on that prompt, model parameters, etc. can be a form of artistic expression. However, the distinction between this form of artistic expression and the form prac
