If the problem was out-of-viewport images impeding the receipt of assets that do affect the viewport (CSS, fonts, etc.) then it would be good to postpone fetching those images just until everything else is received, rather than postponing u

There ought to be a "fringe reception mode" (extension, perhaps) which automates that, ideally without the user noticing. Just as TFA calls for.

You're thinking of your own costs; the developer is more likely thinking of their own than yours.

They aren't going to see behind the TLS curtain, but they would see (assuming no DNS encryption) a domain name lookup followed by various traffic patterns; either: Bursts (page loads) with near silence in between, maybe just some non-h

I've never been this consumer, but I imagine the hangup is that by the time you've added a keyboard and display to your backpack, you could've just added a laptop instead at a similar weight/size, and while the separate

Once every object in the frame is mapped to 3D coordinates, exaggerating the parallax is trivial (like rendering a video game for 3D glasses / VR), but to your point, figuring out what was behind those objects (to fill in the negative

Almost everything related to computer interaction is named with a metaphor, and crypto assets with "coin" in their names are as just as guilty. "Kohl's cash" isn't actual cash, etc.

In some respects it would have an opposite effect: no more Zoom calls; if you want contact with someone, go out and find them. Seems like it could require additional police presence, and they'll find it difficult to be effective withou

Doesn't it fill several times, with long periods of time in between? If so, this trick (which I do use, personally, in spite of this criticism) only benefits the first of several fills. Better than none, though.

Might you be using an unusual configuration, like having changed an OS privacy setting where the weaker default is relied on by the app for a persistent session, or is this bug a consensus among all users?

Google will know (and can even be pretty sure based on correlation of other things, like endpoint location if you tend to use multiple accounts from the same IP address) but at least the car dealer/manufacturer won't have your oth

Ah, ok. As for testing in court, that will be useful, but a rather official source says "created by a human author" [0] in defining the notion of copyright, which I assume is paraphrasing actual law, which I assume a judge would i

Works generated by AI are not copyrightable. If you take a generated work and substantially build upon it, then it's likely copyrightable. At least that's the case for art, and I think the same logic should apply to art and code.

The aurora is a notable exception. Long exposure is key to gathering enough light for detecting vibrant colors. I suspect that pupil dilation (via diagnostic eye drops, MDMA, etc.) could help, but I haven't tested this hypothesis.

Suppose you buy a car from manufacturer A. You lose both keys (perhaps you and your partner each bring one on a canoe trip and capsize) so you have no choice but to ask the dealer to assign new ones. You find that Google now owns the entire

Fair enough, but do you have that fear when using a browser? I guess a Downloads folder is lower stakes than whatever other working directory you're wgetting from, though.

It's even in the name: wget will do everything reasonable to just get something to you, while curl will do a huge portion of things that use URLs.

Personally I'm a fan of httrack for mirroring, although wget has some href/src translation capabilities that are occasionally a better match for particular goals.

I think those are examples of prompting, not modeling. You'd use the API to develop an app where the end user's question gets prefaced with that stuff. Modeling is more like teaching it how to sensibly use language, which can be c

It's a matter of vastly different costs, in that case: the solution to the modified problem costs much more to solve than the originally stated problem. The trick is avoiding such a large gap, hopefully with a breakeven that comes in t
