It doesn't matter. Robots.txt is not a license, it's a set of computer parsable directives of how programs should access your site. The actual license doesn't have to be written for computers to parse to be legally binding. A

My complaint with your argument is that the word learn means one thing when we are talking about a person learning something from a webpage or book and something completely different when a webpage or book is used to adjust some weights in

I suppose one could say that they didn't fix the data size so the language would be portable. But I can't see how the intent was that programs would be portable, if you define portable to mean 1:1 functioning across differing plat

No. What gives that idea? The language doesn't even fix the data size of its primary numerical type. No way anyone thought that was portable.

The thing I find irritating is all the folks who say C is broken because it’s not a write once run anywhere language like JavaScript or python. Part of the deal has always been that the programmer needs to understand the target platform and

The human ethos should be to never be misleading about the origin and truth of any content you create, forward, or pass on. If we care about honesty we should jail anyone who does so.

It also means you can move the point and the rest of the joints adjust. Want to make your model walk? Just figure out the foot motion and the rest of the details are calculated based on joint range of motion and limb length.

There was FreeBSD and NetBSD. NetBSD supporting many platforms while FreeBSD supported just x86. There was some contention between NetBSD developers and Theo and crew left to create OpenBSD. They all more or less have common ancestry being

Using code from these repositories should be considered the same as licking toilet seats at highway rest stops. There’s something wrong with you if you do it.

The horizon at sea level is about 3 miles. The strait of Hormuz is 35+ miles wide. Any mechanism used to get around this would be detectable and could be attacked with relatively inexpensive ordinance.

Exactly. The US just announces that they will take any vessel that pays for transit. So, what happens then? Any vessel that goes through and the IRGC doesn't shoot them, the US seizes. So, no one pays since they can't pay for succ

The world doesn't need to support the projects and research areas that interest you. How about we do something better: No one is allowed to say or write anything about AI or AI generated slop until AI is 100% perfect and produces zero

There are other forms of intoxication beyond alcohol. A device that measures your blood alcohol percentage does nothing for the driver who is half asleep from valium. A field sobriety test is more of an indicator of whether you are capable

It is more than a little weird. A pi zero is more than capable of handling HTTP/1.2 and TLS 1.3 for a handful of connections per second. This machine is 10x what we were running web servers on in the '90s. Also, all web pages are

This pollutes the page cache, which affects the entire host. Getting "root" in a rootless container may mean nothing. But if it attacked the ls, ps, cat, grep, etc. commands and any process outside the container invokes that comma

What LLMs have brought to our industry is exposure of how many people in it are total pieces of shit. You have the hucksters who are out there trying to get you to invest in their LLM startup and they constantly use language that is functio

Yes, all the M-series have more cores, they often have better thermal management, and they have more memory bandwidth. (The the Neo still has crazy high bandwidth.) But, for a single threaded, strictly compute task that runs in 10 seconds,

In my personal experience, 13” M1 MacBook Air, 15” M4 Macbook Air, M4 Pro Mac Mini, and MacBook Neo, the Neo is the fastest for single threaded and strictly CPU bound tasks. E.g. calculating 200x200, 1000 max iterations Mandelbrot fractals

There is an alternative mitigation you can use which blacklists the function calls when the affected code is not built as a kernel module.

Lots of problems with this. The noted lack of inflation adjustment. The savings interest item ignores the fact that loan interest rates were 10%+ when you could get a good rate on your savings account. The student loan one is just wrong, th

They are compatible with netatalk though. The project split between version 2 and 3, but in recent releases they folded them back into a single thing. Current netatalk releases support all versions of AFP.
