You could probably trace how it comes up with the probabilities of the next token. Though the meaning of all the weights are probably going to be lost on you. Once you've got your probabilities and you've limited to some top number, it's just a dice throw at that point.

We didn't think Half Life 1 looked realistic against reality, just that it was the most realistic graphics we had seen yet.

It's not like we looked at the game and went that's indistinguishable from reality.

I agree. Though, in practice, at least in internet arguments, people tend to "diagnose" people so they can dismiss them in some manner, rather than grapple with the argument being presented. In the "Oh, you are just a so and so, I don't need to entertain this" kinda manner.

Well from their site

Moderation

Since there are no global admins, the administrative control of a subplebbit rests solely with its creator. No one else can moderate content or accounts unless the subplebbit creator grants them permission.

So, it's not that there's no moderation. It's just "subplebbit" creator/delegates controlled as there is no over arching site wide company able to moderate it on the whole.

It will mean, as a user, you'll have to be liberal with removing subplebbits from your own feed though. I'm sure there will be some.. not so pleasant subplebbits appearing.

Does it, if you can work on the normal application code, there's no reason you can't work on the lower levels of applications. It's all just code. Ramp up might take a bit more time, but I wouldn't expect horrendously so. As long as your patterns make sense and what is there is written well enough and is not a spaghetti monster in the making, any one should be able to pick it up.

Time to go back to email lists. Anyone can come along sure. But it's only going to be the most determined.

The simplest and slowest way when you need to use something from the system clipboard:

Copying: Enter visual mode (v) Highlight the text I want to copy then enter in command mode "+y which basically means "Use a register for following command (") make it the external clipboard register (+) and yank/copy (y)"

Pasting Move to where I want to paste then enter in command mode "+p to paste after the current position or "+P to paste before the current position

If I don't need to copy/paste stuff to applications outside of vim, then I can skip the "+ register setting part, and just use the default internal register.

It is. Relatively so. This smells of Mozilla wanting to package things in there that Linux distro maintainers wouldn't package in themselves.

You may say I'm being overtly cynical and as much as I love Firefox, I can't say I trust Mozilla's intentions

Not so much toggled, but you can break out of it. At that point it just becomes a fedora install with a somewhat different set of defaults.

Right... So if the AI is getting better.. the even less likely people are going to properly learn things so the Junior skill gap would be even harder to close... Surely?

I would have thought that you fix it locally, git commit, and regenerate the patch set again. Maybe with optional squashing of commits so each patch set doesn't keep growing.

They ruled that for copyright to apply, a human must have authored the work.

Now if an AI spits out code that's a duplicate of a humans authored work. Then you could argue the author is actually the original human. And this it would be covered by their original copyright

Another alternative, I've been looking at is radicle. It's private repository stuff is rough, but public repository stuff, much less so. Seems to be early days but I really like what the project is doing.

Right, but you can have entries in a block chain that indicate previous entries are no longer valid, or have modifications. Calculating a final state by walking through all the blocks in the chain. ( A bit like a CQRS based system can have a particular state at a point in time by replaying all events up to that point)

Doing it in such a way also makes auditing what's happened much easier since changes are inherently reflected in the chain. You want to know when (or by who if you keep that information) a record changes, it's right their in the chain.

A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.

I don't think the code is the problem they are cleaning up. I think they just want to remove the contributor from the history.

Right, is it faster including the time it's taken you to verify that the tests are testing what they should be testing and isn't just testing the implementation as written?

These days I'd recommend Fedora's KDE spin if I'm honest. I don't think I can recommend Ubuntu anymore with the way Canonical is.

Can't libre office's calc work with Excel files?

People who find success can, sometimes, become arrogant and become blind to other factors contributing to their success. Just enough failure can keep you humble. Pretty typical human reactions.
