That seems like a significant improvement over no Youtube at all.

What's the legality of Roku shipping a third-party client? Does the Google/Oracle decision have any impact on that?

Foone isn't "just another long form Twitter blogger", he is one of the originators of this style and one of its most prolific users.

I didn't mean to say that people will make NFTs for Fortnite skins (and I don't think that's what the other poster is saying either, but maybe I'm wrong). Rather, people will probably make NFTs for art or social events o

Fortnite already has the infrastructure to do such a thing, but with NFTs, the infrastructure is open to anyone.

Exactly: they might make decisions which are not strictly wrong, but make the platform less useful for certain people/use cases. Eventually you might find that your most important (although niche) use cases have been killed in a death

One of my first thoughts when playing with AI dungeon was to try and get it to write something erotic. Glad I didn't follow through

Yes, that kind of disagrees with the reality, but I think it's more to do with Musk just being more in the favour of the board as others have suggested.

I don't think they were making any kind of claim about Apple's "special sauce", only that Apple has a monopoly on high-end hardware, which is true.

Recreational use of marijuana is illegal in the US. States such as California can only choose not to prosecute it. That's not the same as being legal.

If you are already embedding Google Analytics on your page, then surely all bets are off for your users' privacy?

In the same sense there are a lot of advantages to storing your traditional music in the format of its original DAW project files, but wouldn't you agree that's impractical for listening purposes?

That's not the accusation. The accusation is that disallowing sideloading and forcing all customers to observe a single philosophy is especially big of a risk to the user considering that there's little competition. The fix isn&

I don't mean a situation like that. What if you just disagree about the best way to achieve the ideal ecosystem? Surely not every customer has the same opinion. Like for example, consider their restrictions on third-party browser engin

Their choices have been a net benefit for you so far, but what if in future they implement restrictions that you don't like? It would be difficult to change platforms over it.
859.
by shawnz 6y ago
Of course not. But the limited selection of alternatives certainly adds to the pain of switching platforms. Therefore it's not so simple to "just buy another phone".

It will be inconvenient and even impossible to migrate some things (for example contacts, iMessage history, app data). Espcially consider how difficult it would be for a novice user to migrate. And what are those other choices? Presumably y

What if they change their mind about the rules and their vision becomes inconsistent with what you want? You'll have no recourse and vendor lock-in will prevent you from switching platforms

This seems like saying they shouldn't have guaranteed privacy because someone could be looking over your shoulder while you type your password. Maybe that's true, but it also seems like a uselessly impractical way to interpret thi

I think it's debatable whether that's a necessary condition for something to be reasonably considered a machine.
864.
by shawnz 6y ago
Humans are machines, so why wouldn't that be necessarily true?

by shawnz 6y ago
That still doesn't mean it's worse than not doing anything at all.

Isn't this basically how GANs already work?

> If you start over, there's no reason any blocking API should really BLOCK your program. Your functions can look completely synchronous, but yield to the event loop when they invoke a blocking API. Like the article points out, then

Is this really a matter of tooling versus programming, or is it a matter of wanting to create rather than wanting to re-use the work of others? Even purely in code, you always (EDIT: usually) have the choice of implementing a solution yours

Everyone who develops a tool did it because they thought their tool would be great, and do exactly what they needed better than everything else that existed previously. Everyone has slightly different needs, so that is exactly what creates

I strongly agree that bringing in new dependencies is not a small consideration. But at the same time, third-party dependencies will always be necessary and by carefully choosing those that are best suited for the job, you might be able to
