My laptop has a build in camera cover that can be slid over the camera. I wonder if this is some sort of trick, like the cover is actually transparent from the inside.

There’s a lot of math happening, and they just tore out and rebuild a core system

Performance even worse now. New planet system is quite intuitive, though. I’d suggest waiting a bit for a few patches to come out.

Luckily, I’m not located in the US. But yeah, you should take steps to obfuscate your identity.

I have communed with the dead, and they told me that there’s gang related activity happening in those businesses.

Not on steam, but Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is pretty good, and free.

Funnily enough, women choosing to be alone also pisses those guys off. Basically, women having autonomy pisses them off.

This “people should work harder” point is always made by people who haven’t done a honest day’s work in decades.

Hydropower was used during the industrial revolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower#19th_century

Not for a few years at least, if ever. And building this capacity costs money they will want to recoup.

Dungeon crawl stone soup. Can be played with keyboard only.

Is Tesla sabotaging their own cars in order to commit insurance fraud?

Several timeline rating agencies have rated this timeline in the bottom quartile.

Measles kills memory cells, effectively factory resetting your immune system.

You know how in chess notation, questionable moves are marked with a question mark. That would have been a double question mark move. But dems have been making one questionable move after another.

Cut off funding, maybe. They would have guaranteed a loss with that maneuver thoug.

I’m starting to think an article referring to LLM as AI is s red flag, while them referring to them as LLM is a green flag.

I sort of think we should be really mean to these people.

First of all, copying or modifying somebody else’s work without their permission isn’t theft. Information cannot be owned in the way a physical object can be, as access to information is nonexclusive, meaning any number of people can use the same piece of information without impeding each other. Contrast that with physical objects, say a car. If I’m using your car, you can’t use it, because I’m doing so. If I copy your book, you still have the original. Hence its not theft.

Copyright is a legal privilege governments grant to artists, so that the artists can be paid for their work. (In practice, it mostly protects big publishers and a few wealthy artists. Most artists can’t afford to the legal battle necessary to get the state to actually enforce the legal privilege they’ve been granted).

This is a weird thread. Lots of people for artists losing control of their creations quickly while simultaneously against artist creations being used by others without consent.

You are conflating copyright infringement and plagiarism. Plagiarism is claiming that you created the works of somebody else. This is morally wrong, regardless of whether you have the consent of the original author. By claiming that you created something you didn’t, you are lying to your audience. (In fact, even disguising your earlier work as new is considered plagiarism). The plagiarist is not a thief, they’re a liar. When you put somebody’s work into an LLM, and claim you created the output, you have committed plagiarism. Unless you credit every work used in the training of said LLM.

when I publish a book, to steal it is consenting to be Luigi’d; no matter how long ago it came out.

You do know that Luigi Mangione plead not guilty to the charges? And yet you use his name as a euphemism for murder. You can’t own information, copying it is not stealing.

They can just eat the bombs they find during their work. Like a barn 🐈. They also just eat the mice they catch.
