It’s a link aggregator, so generating original content is not really its purpose.

Eh, it’s open source, which intrinsically limits the power the devs have over the software.

A big question is, how many sales are actually lost to pirates, or, how many pirates would have bought the game if they couldn’t pirate it. The answer is neither zero, nor all of them, but I don’t know what the actual answer is.

The reason why DMR tends to get cracked is that the concept is inherently flawed. If the entire game runs on your machine, then everything needed to run the game has to be on your machine at some point. DMR is security by obscurity.

Idea: Governments maintain a list of entities that are evading the law like that, and then doesn’t prosecute people who are accused of crimes against such entities. The idea being that if you place yourself outside of the law’s reach, you also place yourself outside of the law’s protection.

Marchetti’s constant People spent on average 1 hour traveling to and from work.

Cars are far louder than most of the things on the list, only gunshots, airplanes and construction can even remotely exceed the level of noise pollution produced by a busy roadway.

OOP has clearly never played “Stellaris”.

I figure with Lemmy having much fewer users, there’s less potential for toxic communities to form.

Current neural networks do really fancy statistics. To make the model better, you need to make the statistics more precise. Leading to marginal improvements of accuracy requiring exponentially growing marginal amounts of training data. This leads to exponentially decaying marginal utility coupled with exponentially growing marginal expense. Which quickly becomes unsustainable. Edit: On the plus side, this likely means you won’t have to give up much utility when the market adjusts.

I’d say it could go either way. You could publish a positive piece on a company and then buy stock in them. They can make a profit whether their research turns out positive or negative. This would however give them an incentive to sensationalize their results, to exaggerate their findings, be they positive or negative.

I suppose journalists getting murdered makes even the “journalists” at Fox News nervous.

And when he dies, god tells him “I sent you two boats and a helicopter”.

They’re talking about an AI we build, the term “alien” in “alien intelligence” refers to it not having human thought patterns, not to extraterrestrial origin.

And the thought pattern here is more akin to “I ended the last paragraph with ‘origin’, followed by a ‘period’, so it’s likely that the next word is ‘And’” rather than anything actually useful. All current AI does is statistics. During training, the Neural Network learn statistical rules about their training data. This has exponentially decaying marginal utility, and exponentially increasing marginal costs. So, the problem the AI companies likely already have is that they can’t efficiently train better models, because there isn’t enough training data. And even if they could, they wouldn’t be able to turn a profit on it, because it would be barely better than the last model they output, while having to charge maybe twice as much to break even.

GRUB works so well that the average Linux user likely never has to think about its inner workings. Even installing Linux has become extremely easy, like unless you use something like Arch Linux. So, its actually quite likely that somebody who writes a program that runs bash commands would not now how to maintain GRUB.

It’s ambiguous, though. They could be complaining about the frycooks making as much as them, or about the frycooks not making as much as them. You’d have to look at what else they posted to see whether they’re generally pro-labor or not. Or ask them what they mean by their tweet. Both of which are made difficult by the username being blocked out.

4 hours in, can still read it. Agree with your assessment, too.

It’s sort of a strange approach, because this will leave you with the workers who can’t find employment elsewhere.

It’s a lot more banal, though. Youtube has to sell advertising, and advertisers don’t want to be next to discussions of rape or suicide. These restrictions are enforced algorithmically, hence the self-censorship. And in any case, it doesn’t achieve the objective of newspeak, as those concepts are still being discussed.

The break even point would be at a balance of 23.08$. However, if the account balance doesn’t expire, buying your own game to put you over the threshold would be checking the couch cushions for loose change level of desperation.
