The traditional method in a lot of Asia (per what I’ve read online) is to put a finger on top of the rice pointing down, so that your fingernail is touching the rice, and to fill water up to your knuckle.

The structure of GPT-3 makes this a bit hard right now - most people don't have access and even then it is limited, making feeding the articles and other comments in is difficult. This isn't a fundamental difficulty though, so I e

At a gas station, they have between one and four prices (diesel, regular, premium, and premium plus, or whatever your station calls it). So it’s easy for them to adjust those four numbers. At a grocery store selling thousands or tens of tho

That’s common in many places in the US, especially in older areas like New England.

It’s really not the exact same. Money is a different type of thing from communication. People in general are much more okay with limiting what one can do with money than with communication for a number of reasons. The essential point is tha

They would if they could position that loss of $10 billion into increased sales. Is that plausible? Maybe not, but it is certainly possible.

Yes. That’s the concept I believe. I’m not sure how big a landmass had to be to make the map though.

Often times the "junk" app is a third party app that the OS allows them to uninstall but they can't uninstall because they need to have it once a year for checking something.

Technology is a good replacement for existing technology. Replacing a worksheet with digital problems can work well. Replacing a textbook with a virtual lecture can work well for many students. Replacing an instructor with digital problems

That’s not quite what the Anthropic Principle states. For instance, we can conclude from the fact that we exist that the universe is a place where life can exist, and that it is more likely we live in a universe where life arises frequently

The problem is that if you’re categorizing by “what fraction of people think this is true,” you have to group the Bible with Darwin and antivaxxers. You can’t decree “we’re organizing by truthfulness” unless you’re okay with other people or

I think it was an obvious outcome that “some people who have more money don’t have to sell wood anymore,” since there’s much less deforestation in developed countries than in developing ones. The specific outcome of how much and where is ve

The problem is that we need to do both. We can’t escape climate change if everyone on the planet is driving a large gas guzzling SUV. So we need to both change to electric cars and also do things like this oven. In addition, it’s bad to say

I don’t know what Rust you’ve been using, but they’ve been explicitly having all changes be backwards compatible since 2016 - when they hit 1.0 - with a few small changes in 2018.

With Wikipedia, it’s a combination of editors that monitor articles and just the sheer number of people who looks at Wikipedia every day. Even if 1% of those make a change on a given day, that’s a huge number of small modifications.

If I take a copy of Harry Potter, and remove every scene that Dumbledore is in, that doesn’t make it fair use for me to distribute a pdf of that copy.

That’s a fairly inaccurate understanding of the Library of Alexandria that most historians disagree with. See https://www.ancientworldmagazine.com/articles/making-myth-li... for example.

This was not a instance of DMCA not allowing tweaks, but rather DMCA not allowing people to distribute minorly changed isos of Windows.

by gbear605 6y ago
This is pretty different from that. It’s not just that they modified Windows, it’s that they provided a cracked version of the iso. If they just provided the tools to do it, it’d be one thing (and that probably wouldn’t have been attached b

The reason this post was written was for users of Sourcehut, especially for people writing to its API. This post isn’t particularly relevant or explanatory for other audiences, but I don’t think it’s supposed to be so that’s fine.

Technically there is some used for a few things, like a text editor (for writing build manifests) and for payments. But those are very limited and aren’t relevant to the use of GraphQL.

If Jeff Bezos decided tomorrow that Amazon would never sell any face recognition software, that’d be that. The only recourse from shareholders would be to try to replace him as CEO, which isn’t going to happen over this issue. I agree that

Despite what many people believe, shareholders don’t actually work like that. They care about making money, but no one is going to sell Amazon because they’re not continuing a single low profit line item. No shareholder is condemning Apple

The three latter letters are usually meaningful, but only barely. For example, there’s WGBH, a Boston public broadcasting station that stands for Great Blue Hills, which are the hills that the broadcasting antenna is located on.

Part of it is that there’s nowhere else to put the money. Currently we’re in a situation where no one has a way that they can spend money to make more of it.
