They use those licences because more than anything else they want their product used

Running an LLM isn’t expensive whether locally or in the cloud, all the cost is in the training.

What features do you find missing from open office? The way I use it open office calc is better than Microsoft excel

When fingerprint or whatever is setup as a PAM module for login it can decrypt your home folder, so you can do the initial login with it

At least the censorship on this one is anti robot rather than anti people

It even looks a little like a botched underline under the fun words

Yeah, great iteration is the feature. But the other side where we’re expected to all help out each other, to keep everyone busy all the time doesn’t work

Scrum as mini waterfall isn’t supposed to happen, but it usually does. The idea is everyone can help the people will are currently busy

The problem is test and build can’t do much to help the system analysts; the analysts and testers can’t help build because they don’t usually know how to code, so all that happens is everyone tests when build is done

As an analyst I don’t do any testing because I had a bad team leader in a past job as a function tester which soured me on the job, so it’s pretty much mini waterfall to me

Perhaps they should have used a ramp, so the uncontrolled one would go wheeee

I stopped using my old cases when we went from AT to ATX

Though I still have a 286 that still works, my expectation for the first thing to go on it is the mouse

You’re referring to quantum effects? Don’t worry about whether you’re not watching, the universe is watching. If one photon is emitted from the thing in a quantum state and hits anything, that’s the observation

That’s medicine. Science just sees it as a problem to be sorted by good study design and statistics

Most people believe red painkillers work better than other colours. Because of that when painkillers are tested, red ones work better (and red placebos also). You might find the placebo effect of red painkillers effective

IPA usually means “fruity flavour” now. IPAs haven’t been bitter in the last few years, much to my disappointment; I really like old style IPA.

Old style IPA also is good but it’s nothing like what IPA means now

IPA used to (and still does in some places and to some people) high alcohol (6 to 8%), low malt flavour, very bitter, no hop flavour

It was made for export to India (hence the name) in the age of sail, they believed the hop bitters and alcohol would make it last long enough for the 3 month trip plus however long it took to be sold.

Wheat was the first farmed plant, about 10k years ago, at least the first we can see in the archaeological record. I shouldn’t have said “bread” as that was at least hundreds of years later

I’m not sure whether the Nile region invented bread before they exported farming

Thanks for the long reply, it’s been an enjoyable conversation, even if we didn’t convince each other :)

Mimic X industrial accident

I think they were just rationalising the idea that a rodent pet could be effective enough ally to let you sneak attack

I think you’re supposed to thoughtfully discuss what’s wrong with it. That’s not a “downvote and move along” sort of community

If you come across a niche community it’s best not to interact with it, if you don’t like their content, block them.
