Yeah, I had to go check… There’s activity on the repo as far back as 2016. I was pretty sure people have already ported the entire thing into a Kerbal Space Program mod too so you can reenact the Apollo 11 mission with the real flight computer.

but was quickly reinstated when it dawned on those in power that no one else could fly them back.

Lol, these people can’t seem to think 2 steps ahead. I almost wish the pilot just left them there.

The classic:

Somebody: “I like pancakes.”

The crowd: “Oh, so you must hate waffles then? You monster.”

Well, it’s physically impossible to capture more energy from burning hydrogen and oxygen than it takes to separate it. Combustion engines are only something like 30-40% efficient in ideal operating conditions.

Building a repairable car on the other hand is very much possible.

I think to a lot of people “political” means specifically picking sides between Republican/Democrat unfortunately, not talking about actual policy. That seems to be how they were using it here, considering they tried defending the claim by saying they’ve worked with Trump’s organization in the past.

I definitely agree though, people have every reason to get political (your version) these days, and it’s generally justified.

That’s what I was saying with the .ttf file being copyright. It’s entirely possible to generate a new “program” that produces the same shapes while being a brand new uncopyrighted program. There’s an infinite number of ways to describe how to draw a shape, only the one in the original file is copyright.

What is this even licensing? You can’t copyright a typeface in Japan or the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protection_of_typefaces#Japan

Technically the .ttf file could be copyright as a specific means to reproduce the typeface, but someone could just run it through something to copy the shapes and then there’s nothing to be licensed.

Instagram is also Meta, so it doesn’t look like anyone actually left Meta’s platform

The user does have to log in again to access the second TTY. I don’t know exactly what Hyprland’s settings do, but “allow_session_lock_restore” doesn’t sound like something you want turning on randomly while an attacker is sitting trying to access your computer. It’s very possible the crash itself was caused intentionally by the attacker in that case.

Edit: Nevermind “allow_session_lock_restore” is just for saving open windows and stuff, so not really an issue. Restarting the lock screen however is very much not something you want to do while trying to keep an attacker out of your computer.

These steps require logging in again. I don’t think it’s secure to have it automatically try and fix the lock screen, since it just introduces more ways to potentially bypass it.

I don’t know how it went down, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t have to give the Sheriff anything. He’d have time to go over the subpoena with a lawyer the same as if it was just mailed. It doesn’t sound like there was any warrant for the Sheriff to perform a search or do anything other than drop off the papers.

And bonus, Bloomberg’s lawyers could get punished or even disbarred for filing knowingly fraudulent claims

I don’t think this changes anything for movies unless there’s somewhere you can “buy” a copy of a movie but they don’t let you download an offline copy. If they “rent” you the movie or you “subscribe” to a streaming service, none of this applies.

These don’t seem to be particularly new panels. $600 and only 97% of the sRGB color space (= ~78% DCI-P3), meanwhile a similarly priced LG “QNED” can do 90-95% of DCI-P3. I’m not sure you can even call those TVs HDR if they’re only 8-bit color. None of these models can even remotely compare to a brand new OLED TV.

This is a bit different than MTBF like on harddrives. Batteries are usually warrantied to 80% capacity because it’s a wear thing, not a random chance of complete failure. A battery isn’t going to last twice as long as another one by chance, this is all about determining the average or worst-case operating range the battery will be in and using that to figure out a warranty period where they think all cars will fall within.

Why the fuck does an oven have a touch screen? That’s a horrible idea. Good luck cleaning your kitchen without accidentally hitting “buttons” on the oven! And heaven forbid food splatter turns on your oven broiler.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just stating that a broken unplayable game objectively has no value. The publisher has forced that value to 0 if they turn off their servers without support, regardless of if there was any value there before or not.

Edit: I realize we might be talking about different things when saying “stop supporting”. I meant that to mean when the servers are turned off, not when they stop releasing updates or delist it from stores.

But that assumes that the (live service) game loses value after the company stops supporting it

Well yeah. Obviously the game losses value BECAUSE it’s not being supported anymore. There’s no value in a paperweight.

My understanding is that this would force games to be sold as either a good (lasts forever) or a service (lasts a specific, advertized amount of time). It does not prevent service games from existing, it just stops them being sold as goods with an unspecified expiration date. The problem is consumers are uninformed about the lifetime of the game they are purchasing.

This graph actually shows a little more about what’s happening with the randomness or “temperature” of the LLM.
It’s actually predicting the probability of every word (token) it knows of coming next, all at once.
The temperature then says how random it should be when picking from that list of probable next words. A temperature of 0 means it always picks the most likely next word, which in this case ends up being 42.
As the temperature increases, it gets more random (but you can see it still isn’t a perfect random distribution with a higher temperature value)
