Depends what "very specific and functional shapes" you have in mind, I guess. For my use of a 3D printer, I believe something like OpenSCAD is going to be a significantly more efficient textual description of the object than ~engl

I don't see how that issue demonstrates what you are claiming. The error message is confusing, yes. Calling it a clear-cut bug is a stretch. The way you are referring to "bugs" is still misleading. > This is a microcosm fo

It's great to see such a frank and concise description of this event and so soon after it happened. And very Wandel-esque to see the impressively detailed timeline pieced together from various sources, not least of which is a Raspberry

That may be an apt descriptor for the LLM, but the bot is a not the model. The most significant risks are unique to the as-a-service bots.

All of the hypotheticals were pretty poorly formed. But to be fair, it doesn't say anything for or against immigration, just "angry about immigration".

Yeah, I saw that too. Got a brief chuckle out of me. I couldn't help myself asking why the fuck is it on your website, then?

This is so extremely stupid. The risk potential is far greater for the bots that are provided with compute and an API as a commercial service. The businesses offering these services will also be uniquely positioned to connect their bots to

I think your linear evolution theory might be a bit too simplistic. There must be a branch somewhere ( says the CS nerd ). Where does AR & VR go? Before or after touch screens?

But you must agree it is almost certainly the case that most people design standards wrong.

Make more noise about bad UI design. As far as I'm concerned, this particular behaviour is a product of an incorrectly designed user interface. Within the Windows-style clipboard paradigm, pressing 'copy' in a text field has

I don't think the issue with finding something suitable is that there are too many options to choose from. The problem is that search engines hate you, the data is shit (unsearchable) anyway, and people spent the last century brainwash

Considering the primary use case seems to be for public demonstration, the tubes are a good way to get people to look at it. I have a sneaking suspicion that the creator might also like tubes . What's the concern with using tubes? Do

I've been interested in D since about 2010 and I'm pretty sure it's about ten years older than that. So if there's a vicious circle, I'm not sure what the effect of that is.

I was looking into the state of that in the last week or so and I believe the answer is: not really, it's still generally recommended to use the LTS version (3) for projects targeting web/HTML5.
