Pandora was largely the first LLM/trained AI. They just used music "genes" (words) and tokenized on that and their relationship. The difference was that the success model it used was based on a variable/semi-arbitrary in

I have no idea where it was implied in that comment that it was difficult. I said that it wasn't required to be considered a valid BIOS, as commercial/alternatives did the same.

It was common for later BIOSes to not include the BASIC ROM: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_interrupt_call Not ideal, but not a deal breaker. And it might go against Microsoft's IP (not sure, personally).

I loathe that piracy needs to exist. But it's a natural response to greedy media industries. People pirate material that copyright holders refuse to release/rerelease, they steal when popular media gets silo'd behind yet anot

L'Avion was purchased by OpenSkies and was operating alright, pre-COVID. You're kinda misattributing the failure here from a worldwide unforeseen global pandemic to "bad business decisions". MaxJET failed because they tr

People seem to be using simple financial metrics to define poor/poverty. They don't seem to understand that someone with 1000usd/mo (in the US) that chooses that lifestyle (usually has a decently supportive family structure

There are many funds other than the Vanguard Index funds (or similar alternatives), and there are definitely ones that don't include AAPL.

Conflating ranked choice with IRV is like conflating Maoism with socialism because you're unable to disentangle concrete implementations from their abstract reasoning. There are alternatives to IRV, almost every single one of which is

This is literally the entire point that ranked choice voting is designed to solve. The fact that most Americans don't seem keen/prioritized on implementing it, despite wide-scale disillusion at the two party system is mind-boggl

The Irish goodbye exists because the alternative is a long ass poetic farewell. So, if you want to avoid it, you give a couple people key goodbyes and check out.

The settlement was alright, but Microsoft's inclusion of DoubleSpace still inevitably killed Stac (and even larger potential profits) as they were unable to pivot when the technology became unviable.

There is no wrong or right metric. Every aspect of a nation's existence has an effect on its survival. Mexico has a very weak and self-defense oriented military, but is under no threat of occupation or annexation. Mostly because it&#x2

When was the last time the US attacked a nation to annex them into their sovereignty? Not in some abstract or vague manner, directly annexing them. Not defending any of the US' wars, but it's a little disingenuous to compare the

You can most certainly test ECC functionality on unqualified boards using a Linux LiveCD/USB. And there are plenty of boards that have gone through the process of getting ECC qualified, and advertise the feature. ASUS, for instance.
