Probably the money paid for whomever Alex Jones lost lawsuits against – so like Sandy Hook victims.

Generally speaking, I like duck typing for function inputs, but not as much for function outputs (unless the functions are pure mathematics).

All I’m hearing is complaining. It’s open source. Fix mate then so it does what you want.

Duck typing is the best if fully embraced. But it also means you have to worry just a little bit about clean failures once the project grows a little. I like this better than type checking relentlessly.

It also means that your test suite or doctests or whatever should throw some unexpected types around now and again to check how it handles ducks and chickens and such :)

Well, that’s on mate then. In KDE you could remap to a combo of your choice with ease

The ideal result? LLMs are just early versions of much better things that come later.

The unlikely result: we develop a separate human curated internet somewhere, complete with verification that a human wrote every bit. Basically verifiable digital id and signing on everything. Maybe.

The probable result: the internet turns to shit as AIs are trained on content created by AIs.

I don’t use mate, but assuming that it has a file manager and that file manager has hotkeys that conform to the muscle memory that is built using other file managers… Try it and see what happens?

Step one: soap and water. Step two, a mild acid – you probably have a citric acid based bathroom tile cleaner already or similar. Wrap it in a sacrificial towel or similar and let it soak in that weak acid overnight.

LKML and patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0fc810ae3ae110f9e2fcccce80fc8c8d62f97907

He cites his work as being a variant of a patch submitted by another developer, Josh Poimboeuf. It’s a team effort folks :)

So much uncanny valley creepy vibes when it does that. Like you’re anthropomorphizing and suddenly it snaps you out of it haha.

Git is a sort of proto-blockchain – well, it’s a ledger anyway. It is fairly useful. (Fucking opaque compared to subversion or other centralized systems that didn’t have the ledger, but I digress…)

If the Kindle is a tablet, then yes. If the Kindle is an e-reader, then no.

I don’t think Kobo has that option. I just toggle on my wifi hotspot on my phone though and that works just fine.

Comics and graphic novels mostly. Maybe scientific papers and textbooks.

Oh you mean the point for Amazon? Extract money

Articles like this always tend to overlook the fact that Bell Labs wasn’t unique in its time. And other companies had very similar labs running. A famous example is Xerox Labs which invented the computer mouse and graphical windowing, among other things.

Google had this vibe too, prior to going public.

Weirdly enough, .Net works relatively well on Linux (at least the core components). Parts of the framework are even various degrees of open sourced.

Should we tell them? ;)

Is there a “government” version or similar, where security is paramount? Like, how does MS sell windows 11 to the navy or whatever…?

Sometimes people get caught up trying to find exact matches for software, when instead it’s a combination of tools that gets the job done on another OS. The annoying thing is learning new toolsets – but it’s only annoying until you know them.
