They did call it Latek, the X in the name is the Greek letter χ (Chi) and in my opinion, it's not an elitist shibboleth but a way to showcase the advantages of their typesetting system over existing, at the time, methods that didn&#x27

You need at least money. In an urban setting a good diet is definitely a sign of at least a mediumly-wealthy household.

Aren't calorie numbers on foods just made up numbers anyway? I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that a body's method of metabolizing food is not the same as oxygen burning it. They might offer a standardized number, and a

Frankly I haven't seen any attempt to counter this type of opinion. Do you have any counter-arguments against whatever the Trump administration is doing right now to the US government and its citizens being out of the Project 25 playbo

I wonder how fundamentally different your mindset needs to be in order to read "scientists and researchers" and assume it means you, a capitalist businessman.

We've tried multiple ways over time, and the one we settled on is to wrap it in a clean kitchen towel (of pretty thick cotton) and then place it in a plastic bag. With just the plastic bag it will grow mold, with just the kitchen towel

In my household we have "Starterday" for Friday - when the starter gets fed, "Riseday" for Saturday - when the dough gets kneaded, shaped and left to rise, and finally "Bakeday" for Sunday, when the bread goes

I fully agree with you, but I think that if you present it as an option to somebody you should write a line or two about the potential downsides, so they have a better picture. Sorry if I was too abrupt in my criticism of your post. :)

Garbage collection was about what I would be missing. I mentioned before what could be missing from OP's point of view.

For game development? I imagine having to use only structs but not classes would be something that forces a "non idiomatic D" experience. Dynamic arrays sound like something that's very useful for a game. I don't know, t

Instead of being an ass, maybe you can take the time to educate me why you think I'm wrong? I think that at least the garbage collection not being available qualifies my statement as somewhat being true. For game development, as it&#x2

What makes this mildly funny, though I admit in quite poor taste, is the fact that Armstrong did indeed suffer of cancer to which he lost a testicle before his comeback to win multiple Tour de France back to back. So theoretically his EPO p

I think the comparison is not meant to be between degrees of horribleness between the two events, but between degrees of complicity and denial on the part of Facebook management.

It's sad to see such a terrible comment at the top of the discussion. You start with an ad-hominem against author assuming they want to "look smart" by writing negatively about hype, you construct a straw-man to try to make y

It fits for software that has not reached its creators stated goals. LLMs are not AI and have not improved lives for any human, outside of making some people rich.

I feel like you need to present a very strong case where LLMs are "the public" before you take such a weak position when interpreting the entirety of the article. Drew makes it perfectly clear in TFA that "the public", a

I remember that when the first influxes of LLM crawlers have hit Sourcehut, they had some talks with Cloudflare which ended when CF demanded an outrageous amount of money from a company the size of Sourcehut. If I find the source for this,

LLMs are purported by their creators to have a different use (advancing of human knowledge, genuine artificial intelligence, etc) than drowning discussions online. The fact that people can find some uses for bad technology does not make it

by mariusor 2y ago
Because the output from LLMs drowns everything else. So if people use it to drown actual discussions yes, it's useful for that. Everyone else though, has to suffer.
