It's excellent at both producing them and explaining what it has generated. And they're now just regurgitated things from the web, I've had novel ones generated fine (obviously you need to test them carefully still)

Likewise I did so with my local library. There was a natural rotation of the books but some were definitely harder to get transferred!

Would be interesting to see if they are controlling the red balance effectively. One of the issues I've heard reported frequently about manually interacting with a remote doctor for this kind of task is that the camera on a mobile is o

I do hope the dialogue stays cordial, constructive and open rather than becoming distinct entrenched camps - the Python community has a strong and mature community spirit so this seems plausible and not too much wishful thinking. Much as No

The main challenge seems that leadership is so poor at making the case for what they believe will be gained. It's always vague things like networking, training or energy. Add to that the point that the few stated examples are usually a

My thoughts exactly: this is generally referred to in the literature as mental/brain plasticity. Coining a new term when a perfectly good one exists is unfortunate but happens, as see with the author here. Edit: here's a link to n

Likewise. Especially when it's liberally sprinkled with his catch phrase: "A new kind of..." It's unfortunate as clearly he has a huge amount to contribute. Maybe with an LLM someone can build a de-Stepheniser that takes

After the only ones being low spec for ages, there do seem to be some higher spec ones becoming available - I nabbed a Pi4 8Gb yesterday. No sign of Zero 2Ws yet though

There are some pointers on that if you skim the tutorial.

What about some method of "moderate to get upload credit"? Obviously not full moderation (as you don't trust these people) but you could have them fed a few basic tasks that support moderation. They would be give a selection

Me too! It's really good. Being able to suppress results for a few (bad) sites is one of many useful features. Briefly got a bit concerned with the recent billing tweaks but that's all worked out fine too.

Seems to only mention Zero W directly, but would a Zero 2 W also work? Kind of expecting it would but thought it better to check

Although one might hope that with a fairly clear cut divide between contact wearers and non-wearers, it would be possible to tease some sorts of effect out fairly quickly now that this insight has been reported. Obviously non-wearers could

Do you have more background or sources on where this idea comes from? It seems like this is more just one particular interpretation of a use of tax rather than it being the "one true purpose" of all taxes. I would be interested to

Precisely. And does a factory count as a robot? It can provide a degree of automation and can result in job losses (compared to artisanal production)

Excellent. Now if the mobile view could space items out a touch more so I don't periodically fat thumb the tiny flag/hide article links it would be perfect!

I'm keen to see a fairly minimal change with KDE6 / Plasma 6 - so much is working great in KDE5 / Plasma 5 that it would be a shame to suffer reversions but presumably the odd one or two will crop up. The only things I can th

I don't follow the situation closely enough but I distinctly remember seeing footage of lots of half finished housing developments abandoned in Ireland. Can't they be restarted? (Or have they been and gone already?)

The underlying papers come from 2016, 1974 and 1972. Here's a link to the 1974 one, with comments from a reviewer of the paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1311998/?page=1

I don't need marketing and window dressing, I'm interested in evidence of it genuinely working but there's very little here. The idea of client side LLMs is kind of obviously a winner, who wouldn't want that and who hasn
