That's not a young/old axis, it's a loose/tight coupling axis. (Thirty years in, still using IDEs as glorified text editors, still dropping to vim on a regular basis.)

GR had some primitive social features that none of the competitors, as far as I know, could replicate. Side-effect of being the largest. Even an exact clone wouldn't behave the same. It was the core of the blogging ecosystem, and IMO i

> So they had a copy [...] but didn't pay royalties for the use of the copy. Possession rather than use, I think, but that seems likely, yes. But I don't believe the model itself is infringing.

No copy => no copyight infringement? Terabytes of training data reduced to a model that fits on a memory stick. The models can certainly spit out bits and pieces, but I haven't seen any evidence they can recite back an entire book.

Totally cynical, off-the-cuff, knee-jerk response: we're social monkeys, and group membership is more important than abstract concepts. I received a hard lesson in this topic during Covid, when I didn't start wearing a mask until

Sure. But what do you think of the findings of the study?

I believe there's some stuff around burial practices that parallels some steppe practices. Something about horses and mound construction, I think? Here we go: https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/chariot-r

Relative to UK roads thirty years ago, they're not great.

Nah, it's not a hypothecated tax. It all goes into the general fund. Same for vehicle tax. In my (mostly uninformed) opinion, a lot of road maintenance was outsourced to the private sector on long (like 20+ years) contracts in the 2000

Have to disagree (although this may be a "no true Scotsman" disagreement). I think a typical engineer is more likely to want to evolve towards mature software in small steps. In my experience the "complete it, then release it

Vaguely related thought: An Amelia Earhart series that focused on her life rather than her death would tick many boxes for me.

Am Brit, that stood out to me too. I mean, I've made the same comment, so I know what was intended. (See my next comment for another example of this "skill").

It's Microsoft. If they were serious they would have, say, refused to sell Office licenses to the worst-offending police departments. Instead they renamed master to main. If it was me (it's not, I'm a pasty white guy) I'

They're aiming for "scrap term limits, but only for Presidents who have served non-consecutive terms". (Or it's all just "notice me senpai" from the soulless minions in Congress. Maybe both.)

I think you'd have to hack it together on a per-project basis, but could you do it with containers? You'd have to identify the point where the build process diverges, make n copies of the container... (If I'm understanding

My experience gels with yours. Given the same code sample, DeepSeek has better, more creative suggestions about how to improve it, but it can't implement them without breaking the code. o1, generally, can implement DeepSeek's sugg
