But it might also signify (as in: be a symbol) that European funds are less willing to buy future US bonds, which has a more dramatic impact.

The prime-minister in waiting has said that there will be a cabinet post for digital security, and Parliament has expressed in the same motion that they are worried about dependence on foreign cloud services as well.

Sumary: it's a copy of Wikipedia, but without the bits Musk disagrees with. Perhaps it also has some other sources, but the articles I looked up when it was announced, were verbatim copies from Wikipedia, with some bits missing. My sus

I am quite sympathetic towards Tuxedo, and am considering to replace my work laptop (a 6yr old MBP) with one of those when it stops working, but those are Apple and gaming laptop prices, not mass market prices.

I liked it too. But it never was great. E.g., I remember that the calculator had date computations, but the year input was a dropdown going from 1900 to 2100 or something like that. Look at all 5 of us reminiscing here...

C#, or rather .NET, is pretty decent. I rate it lower than the macOS frameworks for UI development, but it brings a lot of functionality, which has been refined since the days of Visual Basic. Linux simply doesn't have that development

The compilation example contains an error. You should ask Claude what it is, because clearly you didn't find it yourself.

I thought it was well known that Coca Cola contained phosphoric acid. It's one of the reasons why it's so bad for your teeth.

I agree. Von Däniken instilled a lot of bad ideas in people's minds. People like to complain about religion, but at least that brings some ethos. Von Däniken's ideas did nothing except create a rift with science.

Linux isn't there (on the desktop), and I doubt it'll ever be. It lacks so much: newbie support, drivers, easy configuration (user friendliness in general), and software. There's so much software that doesn't run on Linu

It's not that simple. The Dutch government uses a commercial service for their digital id, and now that company is going to be sold into American hands.

It might have been a bit naive, and very much reliant on a more open, more liberal, and less neo-liberal, international order than we have right now. Greed and power are not (<-edit: I had skipped that bit) conducive to such ideals.

So the argument is basically: because taxes, and only taxes, paid for something somewhere, it should be free for everybody everywhere? Ah wait, you're somebody else. Why the somewhat unhinged attack on Europe? Because Europe is getting

Yet it's not American "public" money that funded it. And it's good to realize what 'public' means in this case: paid for by the general public. What companies produce is also (often) paid for by them, only not

Funny. You might want to do that modulo capitalization, and perhaps some other common substitutions (LLM/LLMs/Large Language Model/Large Language Models, it's/ it is, what's/what is, I am/I'm), b

Then I don't understand why it would matter. Or does it really mean that for each input token 10% of the total network runs, and then another 10% for the next token, rather than running each 10 batches of 10% for each token? If so, any

A little bit of advice: don't copy and paste the LLM's output, but actively read and memorize it (phrase by phrase), and then edit your text. It helps developing your competence. Not a lot, and it takes time, but consciously impro

Sure, but you want restrictions. You can't get an annotation that magically eliminates (de)allocation errors. It comes at a cost. The advantage of this particular proposal is its simplicity, I think. Otherwise, you'd have to get i

Idk. Perhaps this technique doesn't work, but if someone comes up with a working system, and LLMs start using techniques to counter it, artists might have a leg to stand upon, as the use of the counter-technique makes clear that the sc

I think all paths have to return the same allocation. You would have to solve this in another way.
