An inch in aspect ratio is a relatively large change, considering it entails ~70% of an inch in both dimensions. It would be better to compare screen area or vertical and horizontal dimensions separately, to get a clear picture of the diffe

Either the competitor has no ads and doesn't charge money, at which point it would bleed money, or it charges a fee, and hence would be even less successful than youtube.

Apple sells hardware and software/services, Microsoft sells primarily software and software services (surface aside). Hardware is the business of buying materials, improving them, and selling them at a premium. Software is the business

Afghanistan is a relatively poor, undeveloped country, yet they just demonstrated their sovereignty in your sense against the most capable country on earth. Of course, if the US wanted to they could have steamrolled afghanistan - but they d

It's phrased as if it's an answer to a question, which it would be if it was the result of a prompt to chatgpt. Of course, a person could deliberately emulate that style as well, making this an unreliable way to determine whether

The nazis would kill disabled people as part of their eugenics program. The title is presumably referencing that, not suggesting that euthenasia will have a positive effect on the gene pool.

They did seemingly position it as a generic name for this style of AI model, and other people have been using it in that fashion (eg "gpt-j"). It's usually recommended to contrast a brand name for your product with its generi

What's the legal status of such terms of service? Suppose you simply said "i didn't agree to these terms" - what's the consequence? It seems like the strongest thing they could legitimately do would be to kick you o

We could attempt to define the "fair" population of a country based on its land area and some other factors. Splitting up a country into parts then wouldn't grant it a larger fair population, since you would split up the area

It was meant humouressly. Not bothering the blind with such a silly anachronism is of course a good thing. In fact, we ought to get ligatures in fonts to protect the seeing from them as well.

I've seen it argued that we ought to replace antiquated terms in shakespeare with modern ones as well. I was at pains to disagree. Replacing the numbering system would be easy by comparison.

Can we agree that roman numerals suck? I seldom put the effort in to decode even short numbers like xi, let alone the year encoded in roman numerals. I personally read such a thing as "echs aye" in my head. If you intend your numb
