Can you link your mod files so I can sell them without your knowledge or consent please? Seeing as you have no problem with it…

(probably shouldn’t) HyperV

What makes you say “probably shouldn’t”? WSL use is widespread at this point

going from 10 animators to 6

It’s still crazy to me that like half of Across the Spider-Verse was AI generated

[Trump] warned on Saturday that there will be a “bloodbath” for the auto industry if he doesn’t win the election this November.

Emphasis mine. Defending Trump is the last thing I’m interested in doing, but doesn’t this context change the meaning entirely? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think some MAGA asshats floated this title to make it look to potential conservatives as though liberals can’t be trusted to define words like “insurrection” and “incitement”.

Sure, as soon as you stop hating on e-bikes

Ironic that Valve isn’t in there. They did $13B in revenue back in 2022.

I clicked on this using Voyager for Lemmy, and won’t stop playing now that I’ve closed the browser window, lol

Really amped up writing this comment, though

It probably means that they don’t scrape and preprocess training data in house. She knows they get it from a garden variety of underpaid contractors, but she doesn’t know the specific data sources beyond the stipulations of the contract (“publicly available or licensed”), and she probably doesn’t even know that for certain.

There’s a conflict between the linguistic and practical implications here.

“kilo-“ means 1,000 everywhere. 1,000 is literally the definition of “kilo-“. In theory, it’s a good thing we created “kibi-“ to mean 2^10 (1024).

Why does everyone expect a kilobyte to be 1024 bytes, then? Because “kibi-“ didn’t exist yet, and some dumb fucking IBM(?) engineers decided that 1,000 was close enough to 1,024 and called it a day. That legacy carries over to today, where most people expect “kilo-“ to mean 1024 within the context of computing.

Since product terminology should generally match what the end-user expects it to mean, perhaps we should redefine “kilobyte” to mean 1024 bytes. That runs into another problem, though: if we change it now, when you look at a 512GB SSD, you’ll have to ask, “512 old gigabytes or 512 new gigabytes?”, arguably creating even more of a mess than we already have. That problem is why “kibi-“ was invented in the first place.

Does the Constitution apply to foreign companies? I thought it doesn’t even apply to non-residents that are not on U.S. soil.

The legality of foreign ownership should absolutely be bilateral. I don’t get why this wasn’t the policy from the start.

E-bikes can replace cars in far more situations than regular bicycles can.
