  • I’m ambivalent about all this, but I think the distinction is that a web browser button would simply open a persistent window, and therefore only really needs to be used once or twice per “session”. Copilot is designed to act more like the Start menu, in that it is opened frequently and disappears after each use.

    That being said, and as much as I use ChatGPT myself, it’s hard to see this as anything more than an easy way to further the perception of Microsoft as first-class AI company, thereby justifying its high stock price for a corporation with limited new growth opportunities.

  • Borrow checking is part of the language specification, and a compiler that does not include it is, by definition, incomplete. The authors of mrust even state this in the project README.

    Your claim is roughly equivalent to saying a C compiler which does not produce an error when a program calls an undeclared function means that C as a language does not ensure that your code doesn’t call functions that don’t exist - i.e., nonsense at worst, and irrelevant at best.

  • But concurrent execution is multithreaded. “unparallelize” is the only misnomer in the comment you replied to. Asynchronous execution is not necessarily concurrent, but often is.

    However, a high TDP does not inherently mean that thermal throttling will occur, and there are countless everyday processes that are inherently sequential (“single-threaded”), so I still disagree with the comment on most counts.

  • So I dug into this, and the following excerpt is the only piece of information related to the claim in question:

    In the run up to the 2020 election, religious conservative public figures – for example, Rick Perry – claimed that Donald Trump was anointed by God; Perry called him “the chosen one” (see Djupe and Burge 2019). The head of Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Council, Paula White, went a bit further: “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God, and I won’t do that.” In May 2019, 21.4 percent of Protestants believed Trump was anointed by God to be president, as did 29 percent of evangelicals, and a majority of Pentecostals (like Paula White). Belief in Trump’s anointing increased considerably closer to the 2020 election (Djupe and Burge 2020; Edsall 2020).

    Here are the original sources of the claim:

    1. Djupe and Burge 2019
    2. Djupe and Burge 2020
    3. Edsall 2020 (archive link)

    I’ll keep editing this comment as I get further into it.

    Edit 1: added archive link for Edsall 2020

    Edit 2: fixed the link for Djupe and Burge 2019

    Edit 3: Here is an archive link to the Economist article.

    Edit 4: relevant quote from the Economist article:

    In a survey conducted by Mr Djupe shortly before the election, three in ten Americans believed Mr Trump “was anointed by God to become president”.

    Edit 5: Conclusion

    It seems as though the Economist article, and therefore the Raw Story and various other articles referencing it, are not correct. I’ve looked through a couple dozen resources at this point, and I cannot find any publications from Djupe or Burge substantiating this “30% of Americans” claim. However, I did find

    However, I did find this:

    Other surveys have shown similar results. A 2020 Pew Research Center survey asked Americans, not just church-attenders, about God’s role in recent presidential elections. They found that 32 percent of the more than 6,000 respondents, a sizable minority, believed Trump’s election must be part of God’s overall plan—though only 5 percent of those respondents believed God chose Trump because of his policies.

    So maybe the 30% finding was from Pew after all? I’m going to send all this to the Economist to ask for clarification.

  • Consequences... why does that word seem so strange now?

    We are most certainly like-minded in that regard.

    If unconstitutional action is something that Democrats and Republicans see as necessary, authoritarianism has won, and everyone/everything else has lost.

  • The solution I linked above is installed through AltStore and works perfectly. No jailbreak required. Official support for sideloading will eliminate the need for AltStore, but shouldn’t impact the functionality of Clip.

  • Ha-ha.

    As I understand it, this is a suggestion that it would be okay for states to take blatantly unconstitutional action in retribution for the likely criminal acts of the Texas state government. I’m hoping that I’m wrong, because that’s nuts.

    1. Don’t blatantly lie

    Sure, Hershey’s broke the one rule of advertising, but god forbid we do anything about it, right? What ever would the consumer do without the bare necessity that is… weirdly-shaped Reese’s cups?

    I say this as someone who loves Reese’s, too. A reckoning in marketing law is long overdue. IMO it shouldn’t be legal to use anything other than unadulterated photos of your product as it appears off the production line.

  • I’m not questioning that so much as… can’t instances force you to license your content to them in the same way Reddit does, potentially one that is incompatible with the NC and SA designations?
