Isn’t this the same old “ThE eCoNoMy Is DoInG gReAt, WhY aRe YoU cOmPlAiNiNg?” BS as always?
The average person doesn’t care how well the rich people’s game is going if they’re struggling to afford their groceries because of said rich people’s game.
Whelp, we’re one step ever closer to terminators. Just gotta let Boston Dynamics cook now
This reads like something a Sovereign citizen would write.
The first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without threat of arrest, but it doesn’t give carte blanche to do whatever you want whilst saying it.
If you’re on private property after closing time to the public, then you’re trespassing, regardless of why you’re there.
The threat of arrest is something you have to accept if you’re going to protest in a disruptive way - the ones you’re protesting against will do anything they legally can to get you to stop.
Exactly. The big problem with LLMs is that they’re so good at mimicking understanding that people forget that they don’t actually have understanding of anything beyond language itself.
The thing they excel at, and should be used for, is exactly what you say - a natural language interface between humans and software.
Like in your example, an LLM doesn’t know what a cat is, but it knows what words describe a cat based on training data - and for a search engine, that’s all you need.
I was a bit of a picky eater when I was younger, but I’ve become much, much less so over the years - one of the few things I’ve never come around on is olives. The taste and texture combination just don’t work for me
It’s such a bad faith comparison to make about trans people.
One’s race oftentimes comes with a slew of cultural background, and misappropriation of that isn’t cool.
Gender meanwhile is just a societal constrict built of the typical characteristics of the sexes - if you don’t line up with the one given to you at birth, then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to identify with what you do line up with.
Of course they would be the ones trying to protect groomers - I’d love to see the day when Republicans reach self-awareness en-masse, but I expect to die long, long before that day arrives
I would definitely like to have duck more often. I only rarely get it for myself as a treat but god damn is it the best bird going.
Go figure. Conservative judge does everything she can to delay the trial, and then postpones it, making sure no new judge will be able to catch up with the case in time for the election.
It’s fucked up how overtly horrid and traitorous conservatives are nowadays - the founding fathers put too much faith in people when they made that constitution.
Good resellers do, but I think my point still stands - why risk any of that when Microsoft doesn’t get your money either way?
MAS/Massgrave works effectively, is open source, is well-documented, and literally free.
Considering the grey market is filled with dodgy keys, it’d be better to just pirate, especially when there are easy and safe ways to do it like with MAS
If you must have MS office, then I’d go with MAS/Massgrave like others have said.
It’s well documented, requires minimal setup (if going default route), and is much less risky than going into the grey market for keys or downloading cracks elsewhere.
That may be their objective, but they’ve clearly failed and should be rewritten to reflect reality, evidenced by the fact that half of scientific journals use Aluminum.
Once again - American journals.
You’re downright ignorant to suggest that because one country refuses to follow an internationally agreed upon naming scheme it should be rewritten to suit you. That’s the kind of logic that should come from a little kid, not a country.
Of course if you’d like to stick entirely with the academic prescriptions, you’re free to not use “email” in French, singular they in English, AI instead of KI in Norwegian […]
I don’t have enough context about all the examples you list to make an informed opinion of them, but I can certainly take a crack at a couple…
singular they in English
Singular they was historically discouraged in academic writing as it was seen as informal, but doesn’t mean it was never acknowledged.
It has been used, just not widely - though with an academic swing towards gender-neutral language, it is seen as acceptable by most academic style guides…
However, in the scientific world you’re not really supposed to refer to yourself personally in papers in the first place, so it’s about as accepted as any other pronoun.
AI instead of KI in Norwegian
That’s not just a Norwegian thing, it’s a difference due to language.
AI is not an internationally standardised terminology, so of course different languages with different component words and/or grammar are going to end up with different acronyms.
For example, the Germans and Dutch also refer to it as KI (though in Dutch AI is also acceptable), and in Spain and France IA is the standard - that doesn’t mean that academics wouldn’t just agree on a term when working internationally.
As said before, I don’t know enough about the other examples to make informed discussion of them, but the examples I do have context for are do not fall in the same category as America outright refusing to use internationally agreed upon terminology.
In any case, I don’t think you’re going to be convinced by any of the words I’m saying, nor do I think I’ll be convinced by anything you could say, so I’m going to leave this here before I throw too much time into an endless back and forth.
Ah of course, the heavily American-centric forum is obviously the perfect way to prove the entirely American misspelling is the correct one /s
You can spell or pronounce Aluminium however you like, but there is only one internationally recognised spelling, and it’s not “Aluminum”
Those “archaic rules” exist to standardise international science communication, not to make America feel better about its inability to standardise to save its life.
Oh, really?
The official IUPAC spelling is “Aluminium” - notice how there are two "I"s in there.
Since IUPAC is quite literally the international authority on chemical terminology, I’d suggest their spelling is the correct one.
If you want to spell it wrong, you do you, but don’t act like it’s the correct way to spell it.
Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.
Rock. Stick will rot quickly, but the rock will stick around as long as I don’t lose it
Exactly. People weren’t so much amazed by the fact something wouldn’t move until you moved it, they were much more amazed by mathematical proof that in the vacuum of space objects will just keep moving however you pushed them - it’s an alien idea when all you’ve ever experienced is the opposite on Earth.
And yet they’ll be scratching their heads trying to figure out why more people are returning to piracy.
Anyone who icks over their partner having a little bit of harmless, dumb fun doesn’t deserve their partner IMO
