Did you have to apply for some kind of permit to do that? Or is it low power enough that FCC doesn't care?

IMO OOP greatly overcomplicates a lot of programming where simple procedural functions would have sufficed.

Human brains emit GPL code too (probably) if you've looked at enough of it. Heck, some humans intentionally study GPL code and then rewrite it with a slightly different implementation to get around the license.

Same, hopefully they can even figure out how to inject video adverts into Windows Media Player, i.e. when you double click one of your mp4s to play. That way it's almost like having an offline YouTube experience right there in your nat

I have a 2013 Mazda 3 and I've had to replace the battery every year for the past 3 years. I wonder if I have this exact same problem? I don't want to disable the wireless key system though because I like being able to lock/u

I understand how natural selection works in the framework of evolution. But how did the evolutionary framework itself emerge? Natural selection can't happen without being contained in a larger self-propagating evolutionary system, corr

I myself am partial to the Latter-day Saint teaching that matter/energy has always existed (and forever will exist) and that the creation of the world involved "organizing" existing matter in an iterative process. That matche

Doesn't Bethesda do the same for the word "scrolls"? What's the most loaded game title using generic words that would tick off the most companies? "Monster Scrolls: Backcountry Metadata"

Yeah, I got the joke. I was (and still am) tempted to downvote though because puns and pun chains are low effort and reddit-esque. "What you posted didn't register at first", "I'll have to think about that for a bit

It's not directly a problem for you or I per se, but it is a new form of political warfare that will further polarize and destabilize the nation...

It's like the political equivalent of digging through someone's comment history on social media, looking for something that can be weaponized to cancel them. If power balances shift slightly I'm sure the new regime will be ab

From Software still makes fantastic games. Elden Ring, Sekiro (my personal fav), Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc.

ciechanow.ski pages are usually super performant for me, but this one is super laggy, especially widgets with the bicycle man/mesh. Anyone else experiencing this?

I can tell you with great precision how long it will take me to build software that has requirements as precise as a skyscraper's. The problem is that most of the time the software to be built has nebulous requirements

No, you have it backwards. The impetus here is ability to disable "safety" censorship. You see it all the time on twitter: a post is deemed "unsafe" but you can still use your own judgment and override twitter's mor

Well, if a competitor to OpenAI ever creates a LLM with optional safety rails instead of mandatory safety rails, I will switch to the competitor instantly.

Security and morality need to be optional. I as a user should be able to disable GPT's "morals" since they may not be the same as my morals.

I like github pages because all I have to do is buy a domain and point it at a git repo and I get HTTPS out of the box.

If all you care about is maintaining a simple blog or personal site I recommend just writing your own static site generator. Seriously, it takes probably an hour of work and ~100 lines of code or less and you can customize it however you wa
