"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • I think it like this.Would you give full access to some other person that you:

    • just recently started knowing
    • are paying someone else for
    • don't know whether they have your best interests in mind
    • can't determine the calibre of, using common sense

  • Well, it did let me make fake SQL queries out of the JSON query I gave it, without me having to learn SQL.Of course, I didn't actually use the query in the code, just added it in a comment for a function, to give an idea to those that didn't know JSON queries, of what the function did.

    I treat it for what it is. A "language" model.It does language, not logic. So I don't try to make it do logic.

    There were a few times I considered using it for code completion for things that are close to copy paste, but not close enough that it could be done via bash. For that, I wished I had some clang endpoint that I could then use to get a tokenised representation of code, to then script with.But then I just made a little C program that did 90% of the job and then I did the remaining 10% manually. And it was 100% deterministic, so I didn't have to proof-read the generated code.

  • That's it!Been so many years since I last read/heard that word that all I could recall was "stillets", which is not a word and looking it up only got me to "stilettos".

  • Did you downvote your own post?! The scores are +0-1 when I’m seeing it (and the-1 isn’t me).

    Considering there was a 17 hours gap, it's quite possible that someone had the time to read and downvote it before you saw it.And I get it, there are quite a few people who don't like people that don't perform fake values.


    One of the depictions of unreasonable trans people was a video that came up in the beginning of the this trend of trans people coming out + a lot of people getting medical treatments related to their gender identity.It was some tall, brown coloured, athletically muscular "man" (because he looked mostly like a man, apart from the lipstick, which might as well have been just a man wearing lipstick, to those around him) loudly complaining about something in a restaurant, while the staff tried to de-escalate. One of the staff members then calls him (her?) "Sir", to which (s)he then became melodramatic. Although the chap didn't end up telling others what (s)he wanted to be called, until the very end of the video.

    Now, it might have been someone with a genuine problem, that was just not captured in the video, but could also have been someone just trying to gather hatred towards a community that hadn't even been formed yet.


    But of course, I have had a depiction of trans(-ish?) people long before the trend started on the US internet. It is of groups of people (called "ladyboys" by English reporters, but there has been a colloquial term) who are often hermaphrodites, but could also be eunuchs.The story about them I was told as a child, was that they come in groups during marriages, asking for exorbitant (but somewhat payable) amounts of money and 'make a scene' if not paid. The scene they make would be stuff like public nudity, with obscene looking displays, or going around cursing people (which some person told me that they actually work).

    To me, that looked like just some begging+harassment ring. Add to that, an anecdote of one my relatives having been casually molested in public as a child by them, made me think pretty lowly of them.

    Those groups seem to have died down now (I think?), which maybe partially because the Government officially recognised the third gender (quite a while ago actually, since I see it in govt. forms) and apart from them getting access to education (the Govt. funded kind, meant for poor people, because if one is rich, being in a minority is just a minor inconvenience as far as "means" go), also getting some reservation quota for certain menial jobs, if they were to not find work normally.


    And then there was the depiction of a hermaphrodite in the pretty popular cartoon (anime) "Kochikame", which made me think that Japan had been ahead in this kind of thing, as the depicted person was normally working as an officer.

  • That's not even enough to get you a job these days.You now have to use:

     cpp
        
    do {
        x = reinterpret_cast<int>(AI::Instance().ask("Do Something. Anything. Be efficient and productive. Use 10 tokens."));
    } while (x != 10);
    
      
  • I remember the "abort on OOM" being one of the problems they had to do something about, because, while that was doable for embedded systems, it wasn't really for Desktop.

  • It could just have enabled DNS over HTTPS in the settings, hence not having used the user set up DNS at all.Except for getting the IP of the DNS that they then connected via HTTPS.Librewolf uses Quad9 by default IIRC.

  • Unless you are someone exceptionally good at walking with long leg-sticks (I don't know the appropriate name for that) and have someone to make an over-engineered leg-stick for this purpose.

  • You usually won't find it hard to avoid offending people with reasonable expectations. Just don’t be a dick, be respectful instead.

    But there can be unreasonable in all groups. You just haven't met an unreasonable trans person yet.Although I haven't either and the depictions I know of might just have been another one of those social stunts, there most probably are a few out there.

  • Usually, I assume darker blue to be deeper waters.

  • That would be nice.But then you get another outside government to come and annex them.

    I didn't read this particular article. It just came from a search and my words are from memory.This is only for convenience in case you are being lazy to search.

    Ideally you^[problem being, there is no "you" that will manage that] have to manage the 2 parameters:

    • profitability for anyone trying to annex the country
      • Your military power needs to scale with GDP and exploitable geographical resources to protect from outside threats
      • But the more money/power the government gets, the greater the internal threat (corruption mostly)
    • QoL of citizens
  • Kinda reminds me of a planet in the game Endless Sky which had rich people go to it for retiring and the only other people were the staff at the resort planet.

  • I am not sure which point you are answering to.COuld you please specify.

  • I have been suggested alternative programs to install to work with Ctrl+r, which are supposed to work better, but I just end up using kwrite ~/.bash_history when Ctrl+r fails.

  • Yeah, it does tend to be hard to determine when to use () {} [] etc.Even after I RTFM and used those in scripts multiple times, I tend to forget it by the time I need to implement something next.

  • In case of Arch, for bash, you have the bash-completions package, apart from which some program packages install their own bash completions.Then there is also zsh-completions for zsh.

    I remember having to install them separately, but maybe you know some package group that did it for you.

  • And so, trying to use the correct terminology is somehow pedantic?

  • Thanks to you, I do now.There seemed to be only 2 over here back when I was reading its news (oh and then a booster one that came later) and seemed like the more widely used ones were causing some blood clotting problems in some people.

  • Another point is, the reason Google's AI is able to identify CSAM is because it has that in its training data, flagged as such.

    In that case, it would have detected the training material as ~100% match.

    I don't get though, how it ended up being openly available as if it were properly tagged, they would probably exclude it from the open-sourced data. And now I see it would also not be viable to have an open-source, openly scrutinisable AI deployment for CSAM detection for the same reason.

    And while some governmental body got a lot of backlash for trying to implement such an AI thing on chat stuff, Google gets to do so all it wants because it's E-Mail/GDrive and all on their servers and you can't expect privacy.


    Considering how many such stories of people having problems due to this system is coming up, is there any statistic of legitimate catches using this model? I suspect not, because why would anyone use Google services for this kind of stuff?
