You just described every problem I've ever had with my Bluetooth headphones... I'm just about ready to throw them out because I take meetings constantly, and somehow my headphones are never connected to the right thing...

I hate Bluetooth with a passion, and I'm so sorry you have to deal with that for your hearing aid.

I agree with you for the most part, but when the "person" in charge of the LLM is a big corporation, it just exaggerates many of the issues we have with current copyright law. All the current lawsuits going around signal to me that society as a whole is not so happy with how it's being used, regardless of how it fits in to current law.

AI is causing humanity to have to answer a lot of questions most people have been ignoring since the dawn of philosophy. Personally I find it rather concerning how blurry some lines are getting, and I've already had to reevaluate how I think about certain things, like what moral responsibilities we'll have when AIs truely start to become sentient. Is turning them off and deleting them a form of murder? Maybe...

Only if they're whole beans. Split beans don't count.

Well, if you buy a used one, they first started putting the cellular modems in in 2017, and all models by 2020. You can check which models here

the other is fair use

That's very much up for debate still.

(I am personally still undecided)

If only this was a response AI could give. I think it would solve a lot of the problems

All I see now is blonde, brunette, redhead.

The most they can really do is block payments, but even then, plenty of people would have access to foreign currency or bitcoin, so it wouldn't be that effective. Elon's also the kind of guy to start giving it away for free just to piss off Brazil's government more.

In theory it makes it possible for other games to use the same items to make stuff in their games (I doubt this in practice)

I've heard this before, but there's literally nothing preventing games from setting up some shared items on their own without NFTs. Nobody does it because companies want to keep their IP, and worrying about external items would be a nightmare to balance.

NFTs solve like 1% of the problem of sharing items. So much more goes into making them actually work. For example: NFT id 5551337 is owned by the player: now what? How do you figure out what 3d model to render? What actions can you perform? How does it integrate with other systems? All of that is going to have to be custom for every game involved on a per-item basis.

suppression of anything the government defines as dangerous

That's kind of one of the points of having a government... When it's applied to banning toxic chemicals or violence, that's the same thing happening but you just wouldn't call it censorship.

Ah yes... several years ago now I was working on a tool called Toxiproxy that (among other things) could slice up the stream chunks into many random small pieces before forwarding them along. It turned out to be very useful for testing applications for this kind of bug.

And that's where Release with debug symbols comes in. Definitely harder to track down what's going on when it skips 10 lines of code in one step though. Usually my code ends up the other way though, because debug mode has extra assertions to catch things like uninitialized memory or access-after-free (I think specifically MSVC sets memory to 0xcdcdcdcd on free in debug mode).

That's definitely a non-trivial amount of data. Storage fast enough to read/write that isn't cheap either, so it makes perfect sense you'd want to process it and narrow it down to a smaller subset of data ASAP. The physics of it is way over my head, but I at least understand the challenge of dealing with that much data.

Thanks for the read!

How likely are you to recommend Comcast to a friend?

Bitch, you're a monopoly, I would leave if I could.

Neat, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of old mainframe computers where students and researchers had to apply for processing time. Large data analysis definitely makes sense for C++, and it's pretty low risk. Presumably you'd be able to go back and reprocess stuff if something went wrong? Or is more of a live-feed that's not practical to store?

It really depends what you're doing. The last big project I did with C++ templates was using them to make a lot of compile-time guarantees about concurrency locks so they don't need to be checked at runtime (thus trading my development time for faster performance). I was able to hide the majority of the templates from users of the library, and spent extra time writing custom static_assert messages.

C++ templates are in fact a compile-time turing complete language, as crazy as that sounds.

Is that actually 1g of pure THC, or is that like the weight of the extract or something? I can't imagine the tolerance you would need, any normal person would be passed out for an entire day taking that.

Yep, sadly I've been exposed to a few such codebases before. I certainly learned a lot about how NOT to design a project.

You've been at it longer than I have, but I've already had coworkers look at me like I'm a wizard for decoding their error message. You do get a feel for where the important parts of the error actually are over time. So much scrolling though...

I thought StarLink had inter-satelite laser links? Theoretically it should be faster than a VPN out of the country because light travels faster in a vacuum. But maybe this was another one of Elon's "full self driving next year!" features.
