No, it just hasn’t been possible to differentiate as well before. One example is biscuit manufacturing, where it’s a fairly open secret that supermarket own brand biscuits are the same product as name brand, because it’s better to capture t

I think you could also be allowed to modify your “three hour slot” up to 24 hours in advance somehow. That way you can handle travelling and relocation without allowing people to game the system and extend their slot to 6 hours or some othe

I agree OP misspoke, but are we sure the time axis has no upper bound? Or that it doesn’t loop back round on itself? Or that it even exists meaningfully as an axis?

This is a great scale to use when you’ve got a group of people because it’s easy to teach without needing to do calibration: -1 is bad, not meeting expectations, 0 is “not good, but meets expectations”, 1 is “good, better than expectations”

Lack of a monetisation strategy is a concern for folks who might worry that you end up running out of time/motivation to work on it, which might be a roadblock to wide adoption That said, if you're only in it for the joy of creati

That’s absolutely not true, humans are very good at finding connections in huge datasets. LLMs also happen to be pretty good at it, but unlike humans they don’t get bored or tired from doing it too much.

I agree. The article is unclear though. For recreational users snorting (I think it's 'insufflate', rather than insulate), the DanceSafe link is clear that that's the method (it says 'snort 30-60mg'). As you sa

Also ignorant here, but if you want a body to stay at rest, you can either not push it at all, or push it with the same force from both sides. If you’re pushing from both sides, the body won’t move, but the forces acting on it can still cru

Dropping the case does not create any precedent, that’s the point. Losing the case would. If you’re going to have this fight, wait until you have it with a worse-prepared and worse-resourced opponent where you’re more confident of the win.

But that’s not quite how the law works. Meta’s response here is “you have no evidence of any wrongdoing”. The fact we’re even discussing this shows that there’s at least some doubt that Meta could be successfully prosecuted for downloading
