He doesn't, it's literally enshrined in the constitution. If he decides to violate that, it's him violating the constitution yet again, not proof that he has a say. It would also probably be the last straw for a lot of people

Usefulness and overvaluation are not mutually exclusive. AI is useful, but it is not a fraction as useful as these companies spending rates would have one believe. If it is, then the world is going to lose pretty much all white collar jobs.

An LLM has no autonomy. They LITERALLY exist to do the bidding of humans, without the human behind them they do not exist. This is not some way of denigrating or belittling them. They are not human, they are not conscious, they are not aliv

In what ways would you use it like that? Honest question, I'm not at all familiar with what was in it.

There is video evidence and many eyewitnesses that he did no such thing. If you need to lie to justify fascism, maybe you shouldn't be supporting fascism. He possessed a weapon on his person in a state where that in completely legal, i

Unfortunately this doesn't work with the modern right wing. Admitting you are wrong is a mortal sin, instead you invent reasons why it's not okay when someone else does it. As an example, just about every statement the administrat

Takes mass to move mass. Most of the strongest people in the world look "fat" and usually have a hefty gut. Strong and jacked are orthogonal characteristics.

Not to be a dick, but enshittification is not a hump you get past, it's a constant climb until the product is abandoned. Did you just mean growing pains?

A good place to see this pre-2022 (the ai epoch) is articles on less known bands from the late 2000s when Wikipedia was becoming more popular. Quite a few of them turn out to be copy/paste promo text. I know this because I did webdev w

This works is if-and-only-if you assume everyone involved is a good actor. In fact, many if not most in politics are bad actors, and voters largely believe said bad actors.

If we're bringing in other industries, you'd be wise to consider banking. Savings accounts are something most people would consider an asset, because it's money the bank has on hand and can use for loan purposes. But it'

The reason is that dishwasher detergent is an enzyme based cleaner. Those enzymes need something to react withm. You still want to scrape of loose food, of course, or yes you'll get a dirty filter faster.

It's literally impossible to run docker containers on mac without virtualization. An IT dept that forbade developers with macs from virtualizing would be facing a lack of developement in any company using docker/k8s

To the average person, no. If you ask a regular user, you'll find that there is no alternative what Excel can do, the PowerPoint alternatives are missing loads of features, etc. Additionally, files created in MS Office still cannot rel

Lack of customization doesn't make it garbage, that makes it not your cup of tea. That's fine, but it's a far cry from garbage qualities. Windows 11, and to a lesser extent 10, is indefensible garbage.

You can use Spring as a library if you really want to as well, but it's still a framework. Id maybe concede that frameworks are a subset of libraries. You can use most frameworks in a library fashion, but the opposite is not true (you&

I would narrow this down further. Programmers (myself guilty) live abstractions they control . It gives them the ability to tweak little things and feel like they've done it in a more maintainable way. Programmers HATE using other peo

Did you make it clear that you weren't submitting to the leaderboards? I of course assume you weren't. Most of the hubbub I saw was because AI code making it into those leaderboards very clearly violates the spirit of competition.
