Minecraft. Back when I started playing, it wouldn't even tell you what recipes existed, yet gave you a 2x2/3x3 grid with hundreds of types of items/blocks to figure it out yourself.
Visual Studio Code did this somewhat recently, but had the foresight to let you switch back to the old theme in a notification when first opening it after the update. I ended up sticking with the new theme since it was nice, but I know plenty of people who stuck with the old one.
How do you operate on 200mb data? You might as well not have data at this rate. You can watch what, like a few minutes of video before your data is up? That's some serious BS, assuming you're in Canada.
I'm in the US, haven't seen a phone plan with less than unlimited anytime recently, although I know they exist. Ironically, even my ISP has a data cap (1.2TB/mo last I checked), but my phone plan doesn't (but does throttle after a while).
I don't disagree, but that wasn't my point. Everyone has access to SMS messaging. Not everyone has an internet-based messaging app, and those who do are split among several different services.
I like written-form documentation, it means I don't need to play audio in our shared space at work. It's also a lot faster to find what I'm looking for with written docs than skipping through a video looking for the relevant bits.
Usually when I'm looking for docs, I find that the less time I need to spend in the material, the better. Videos are fixed length and don't often come with a list of labelled timestamps.
A channel where a dude works full time and YouTube is a side gig wouldn't buy a $250k sound chamber to measure how loud the fans are on a crappy prebuilt (GN - the people who made the initial video about LTT). There are significant benefits to being full time dedicated to creating this content, and being paid well in response. Something like this would only be possible following your model if they already made tons of money outside of YT, in which case, they're already rich so what's stopping them from going full time doing what they want anyway and uploading those videos?
From what I understand, they're removing all recommendations from the home page if you have watch history turned off, likely because they can't give you any decent recommendations without data to recommend from. All you'd see is the search bar.
Personally, I think this is a great change. Default YT home screen has some of the worst recommendations I've ever seen, and if I'm telling them not to track my watch history, I probably don't want to see whatever content they're promoting to the average user either.
Aside from needing a phone, I really don't see the issue with SMS. For sending quick messages to people directly, is there really a better tool? You (most likely) already have a phone plan, you already have a phone, and your phone is always on you. Everyone you're trying to contact is in the same boat, even people who are technically illiterate. All phones with phone plans support SMS, unless there's weird plans I don't know about.
When it comes to more complex needs (group management, e2e encryption, etc) other services are better of course. I don't use SMS to text my group of friends, it's really not well suited for the job.
Because the reality is that people don't document errors (what exceptions can be raised by a method), don't explicitly handle all the cases (how many times have you returned a 500 in a Flask app from missing an error type in your except block/missing an errorhandler), or don't even think to put a try...except around fallible code (I see this a lot, anecdotally). The Either monad (or Rust's Result, which I'm more familiar with) force you to do something with the error explicitly.
Exceptional cases are just as normal a part of a program as any other flow, including the success flows. If you have 20 happy paths and 80 exception paths, and only cover those 20 happy paths, you've covered 20% of the cases.
Somehow I ended up with a pre-order by buying a laptop. It feels like they've been practically giving them out, at least with their AMD partnership, and assuming you're already in the market looking at hardware. I wasn't even planning to buy the game originally, maybe I'll play it.
PCIe gen 5 speeds are double PCIe gen 4 speeds, for the same number of lanes of course. Whether a hard drive is capable of those speeds is another story (although my current drive pushes the limits of gen 4). I'm not sure what the fastest PCIe gen 5 hard drive on the market is right now, but eventually we will start to approach the limits of gen 5 and start looking at gen 6 drives, at least at this rate.
There are some games that split high-res assets into separate free DLC. I don't know how common it is, but I've definitely seen it on Steam. For example, Shadow of War does this with high-res textures and 4k cinematics.
This doesn't define what a properly constituted government is though. Any government can prevent other worse governments from forming, all they need to do is massacre their citizens and there will be nobody left to form a government.
I think it depends on how you define free speech. There are plenty of people arguing against unrestricted free speech on this particular instance, and it's a core value of the instance (intolerance of the intolerant).
On the contrary, people who argue for unrestricted free speech always seem to do so on legal grounds, constantly quoting the first amendment as though it applies to private platforms or to people outside the US.
This may not actually be true though. If it's a Q&A interface, it's very unlikely they are training the model on the entire work (since model training is extremely expensive and done extremely infrequently). Now sure, maybe they actually are training on NYT articles, but a similarly powerful LLM could exist without training on those articles and still answer questions about it.
Suppose you wanted to make your own Bing Chat. If you tried to answer the questions entirely based on what the model is trained on, you'd get crap results because the model may not have been trained on any new data in over 2 years. More likely, you're using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to select portions of articles, generally the ones you got from your search results, to provide as context to your LLM.
Also, the argument that these are derivative works seems to be a bit iffy. Derivative works use substantial portions of the original work, but generally speaking a Q&A interface like this would be purely generative. With certain carefully-crafted prompts, it may be able to generate portions of the original work, but assuming they're using RAG, it's extremely unlikely they would generate the exact same content that's in the article because they wouldn't be using the entirety of the article for generation anyway.
How is this any different from a person scanning an article and writing their own summary based on what they read? Is doing so a violation of copyright, and if so, aren't news outlets especially notorious for doing this (writing articles based on the articles put out by other news outlets)?
Edit: I should probably add as well, but search engines have been indexing and training models on the content they crawl over for years, and that never seemed to cause anyone to complain about copyright. It's interesting to me that it's suddenly a problem now.
