Have you considered overriding the Emacs process EDITOR variable via setenv? i.e.: (setenv "EDITOR" "/usr/bin/emacsclient -c") If you do that, it should cause any child processes (e.g.: vterm) t

Well that was a bit of a doomy article, though I find myself agreeing with the general throughline. Dating's gotten pretty messed up and realistically speaking that's unlikely to change going forward. The reason I characterize the

I admire your pragmatism. I think it's quite neat how your chosen name reflects that aspect of your self, too.

In their defense: the OP's deployment of the term "payday" is sloppy when discussing a world which predates salaries, bank transfers, and indeed... weeks[1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Meso

To a certain extent, I think it's just IBM disease. A company the size of Meta is expected to have an AI research department like Microsoft or Google, even if their core business (social media) derives relatively less benefit from the

A little yes, a little no. Your phone knows when it's receiving a call from an unauthenticated number, but it would be very unreliable to use this metric alone to decide when a call is untrustworthy. My understanding is that carrier te

The neat thing is that -- whether or not LK-99 is a hoax -- the public will have engaged with real scientists doing real science in a rather personal capacity. It's novel and interesting to be able to tune into the materials science eq

At the end of the day, materials science is still science. The institutional framework is optimized for a very specific process, so it's generally faster to let the process play out as usual rather than go and cut corners. Rest assured

Yes, it's generally legal to apply an additional surcharge on card transactions beyond the cash price, thus making it appear as if the sales tax is being removed. It's all above board as long as the full value of the sale is rep

A case like this would be a landmark battle in the making, I think. Advocacy groups like the IEEE would most likely be all over this due to the weightly ramifications that would arise from Nintendo setting a new unfavorable legal precedent.

Yeah and if I lit a match and dropped it in my house it'd be a housefire. Calling skins NFTs is patently false, because they are both not tokens and not non-fungible ( nametags notwithstanding ).

Surprisingly, some of the most convincing studies indicating the dangers of PFAS come from 3M themselves[1][2]. These studies were of course never intended for public release: > In 1961, company lab tests linked C8 exposure to enlarged

So, I looked at the table appendix you're referencing and I think you're overstating your case a bit. Among books within copyright, GPT-4 can reproduce Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with 76% accuracy. This is, apparen

First: these studies are unrelated to AI and mostly predate modern LLMs, so no, they draw no direct comparisons. At best, this is pointing out two surprisingly similar behaviors we observe in LLMs and the actual functioning of the human min
