Because then you don't have to switch to a different technology if you want to have the same content for print. It's pretty useful.

The dam was under Russian control. Ukraine wouldn't have had any opportunity to place demolition charges. Russia has demonstrated that it is; - willing to level cities with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants - willing to use torture

I don't think that this constrain applies. The dam was part of the Russia-occupied territory or part of the gray zone. Ukraine was not using the damn dam for anything. At this point I'm not willing to give Russia the benefit of th

Destroying dams is explicitly a war crime.

Ukraine's security services have for quite some time warned that Russia was going to do that. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/21/world/europe/zelensky-put...

Russia is talking, which means Russia is lying, diverting attention, framing or victim blaming.

Pooh might be out of copyright, but the corporate media has found a way around that by using trade marks. So anything related to Children's books (or any books, drawing books, comics, anything) cannot come with "Winnie Pooh",

Do you know why we got "Pooh - Blood and Honey"? Because you for sure cannot make a children's book with new stories with the characters without getting sued by Disney. A slasher horror is about the only thing you can do with

Sure, no harm done. Stallman is odd, no argument about that.

by esarbe 3y ago
It would be good if you would not repeat unsubstantiated rumors. No credible allegation have brought forward against Stallman's behavior regarding women. It's all hearsay and we should avoid hearsay and rumors.

"Goodwill" is just greenwashing. No CEO has ever been fired for maximizing profits, so CEOs are incentivized to do anything - everything - to maximize profits. Many a CEO has been fired for not doing everything possible to maximiz

Our culture is stuck because of the insanely long copyright terms and mass media that has produced them.

The problem - as I see it - is that we lack "tried and true principles" when it comes to LLMs. We don't know how they work. Prompt engineering at this point is basically only experiment, error, repeat.

by esarbe 3y ago
"Engineering" makes it sound as if there was a solid understanding of of LLMs actually works - there isn't. We're still finding out how LLMs work and what they are capable of. Prompt engineering" is just reasonable

I once tried to come up with a reasonable number and ended up with something like 24 slaves per person given a central European living style, Do you have a link for your number, would be very interested.

I guess there's some truth to that. What's coming off now was just a pretense.

Yes, and the people in the domain of the Czardom of Russia never recovered. One could make a point that the independence of the Cossack tribes contributed its share to the "de-imperialization" of the Dniepr region. A benefit the p

On prominent ancient example that pops into my head right away is Mesopotamia. The Assyrians were famous for their brutality and their depiction of violence as political propaganda. They were despised for their viciousness. It has been argu

Sure. Russia just popped into existence in 1547. It doesn't have anything to do with the peoples that lived in that region before that. Russia as a whole was brought to earth by aliens.

Yeah, I think the Mongols broke Russia to the yoke of Empire.

Putin has had high approval ratings for years. Not only because they clamped down on any opposition, but also because Russians simply don't care. This is not just a "Putin" problem.

Russia is slipping into totalitarianism more and more very day. But this did not happen over night; Putin and his cronies have been working towards this goal for more than 15 years now and the attack on Ukraine simply gave them all the excu

That's the point of flatpaks - you don't. You build one flatpak and it will work for all distributions.

Isn't the server software proprietary? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(software) So I don't see how RedHat or any other FOSS distributor could have been happy with Snaps.

It hasn't become more complicated, quite the reverse; since Gnome 3, the UI has become ever more simple and polished and accessible. And more opinionated, yes. You can still tinker with and change the desktop - it just takes more effor

It's the last point that rubs me. FOSS should be whatever the developers decide it should be. It's not up to the users to decide what requirements a piece of software should fulfill.
