What does happiness look like?
The things that bring joy can be fleeting or lasting, healthy or unhealthy. Joy might be family or it might be peace. Wealth in money or rich in love.
If you don’t know what happiness looks like, you:ll have a hell of a time exercising your god-given right to pursue it.
(My answer withheld for opsec reasons. And because today was a very sad day.)
Worth knowing: you absolutely can send the same stack of info you’d put on a palm contact from your smartphone, using whatever mutual share channel you have.
Somehow you sound entirely right-wing and modestly left-wing at the same time. Not in a “let gay married couples buy guns to protect their trans-friendly pot farm” way, but more of a “abortion should be legal for child sex slaves” kind of way. I’m presuming this was not intentional.
“Civilization”.may not be the word you’re looking for. Every UN member is part of the same “civilization”.in general usage, even the ones who really dislike each other. Maybe “nation”?
If nobody else, Obi-Wan. Although the exchange at the Lars household over dinner suggests that Owen and Beru didn’t exactly hide his father’s name from him. Since “Anakin” doesn’t appear at all in the script until after the twist, it’s likely that there wasn’t a firm name for him until ROTJ.
Luke definitely knew he had a father, though. And had an idea of who he was from the aunt and uncle who raised him, Obi-Wan, and even the rebel pilots.–
An actual AI would be a person,.capable of doing any task that can be done remotely. The current crop of pseudo-AIs aren’t, and so cannot really replace that many jobs.
(What they are mostly doing is serving as a scapegoat for businesses who want to drop inefficient employees – those whose revenue::wage ratio is not high enough. I guess layoffs play better on wall street when you can blame AI for them and pretend your company isn’t shedding capacity.)
One place LLMs are potentially very useful is in replacing the need for “extra bodies.”. A programmer or lawyer or doctor might want a junior or paralegal to draft some work or review some file to save their time, but the professional still needs to review it.
Fortunately or unfortunately, “play this game and find as many bugs as you can” is exactly that sort of extra-body work. It would be dumb to fire all 10 of the team’s testers, but letting go 5 of them and supplanting the balance with LLMs might wind up with a better or cheaper product.
OP should make friends with a lawyer in their country and find out the cost to ask simple questions.
Having a family lawyer is a good thing, unless you like being at the mercy of your landlord’s whins.
A license can impose any legal conditions as part of the bargain. If I let you come into my home, I can insist that you take off your shoes and never say “Trump”. I might even be able to hire a cleaning service, and require them to adhere to those same rules if they want to get paid.
This same condition could include not saying the T word on the public sidewalk near my house. And those who want to visit me or get paid to clean my house would likely follow it. But what I cant do is impose my ban on pedestrians who just walk down the street, since they already have a right to do that.
So, yes licenses that include terms about not using or including certain color schemes are generally enforceable. But they wont necessarily stop the usage of that color scheme by people who don’t have some other consideration to bind them to the license.
(More specifics would require more specifics. Are they claiming trademark, patent, or copyright on the color scheme? In what country? Against who?)
The quote you need to burn into whatever part of your brain that thought this up is as follows:
War is how God teaches Americans geography.
Once upon a time it was true that each new version of windows was more performant than the one before.
This hasn’t been literally true for quite awhile. Windows 11 doesn’t have any net performance benefit over windows 10, and neither was 10 a raw-performance improvement over 8.1.
There is some userland code changes in system provided apps like terminal, explorer, and the task manager, but these have tended to be more “better LLM hooks” and “why didn’t we do this sooner” fixed than actual performance bits.
On the plus side, it’s not really a money grab. MS gets more from Xbox and Office subs than windows licenses, which have been non-transferable all-OS licenses going back to the windows 8 era. The version switches are still really dumb, though, and EOLing windows 10 is just penny-pinching BS.
This reads like those “we’re all glowing!” pop-science papers that don’t mention “black body radiation”. (As in, every 300 K lump of matter in the universe emits a non-zero number of photons in part of the em spectrum that human eyes could see if there were enough of them.)
Photons carry energy. Water does interact with light, which is why it gets dark deep in the sea. While I’m sure they’re measuring something, I don’t know if the obvious null-theory is skipped over by the reporter or the scientists. (What’s the control on that green light? Was it the same output wattage as others? What’s the thermal change with and without the light?)
“Overhead expenses” on their face are just a market effect. If you want the Harvard science department to do something you should be helping pay for Harvard science students.
The only real issue is if Harvard gets a subsidy on top of the numerical amount of some federal government grants,. which would give them an incentive to be expensive and smell of corruption.
Of course, since the current federal government is both anti-harvard, anti-school, and anti-science, spending time on this discussion is like arguing over precisely when abortion moves from bodily autonomy to triage when even life-saving triage abortions are under attack.
A huge problem in science is the perverse effect of goal-funded research. Big Pharma wants science saying its pills work, Big Tech wants science that says its new toys are safe, and so science that says the pills don’t work or the toys aren’t safe rarely gets done and often gets buried when it is done.
The only counter to this is “pure” research funding. Maybe they’ll find something new, or maybe they’ll just discover that LLMs cause cancer or that weigjt-loss drug doesn’t work.
Science is neither a search for truth nor where useful inventions come from. It’s way more useful and important: a search for falsehoods and useful theories.
China is definitely stupid about something, but “let’s.join the current USA bubble” doesn’t seem to be it.
Most things someone sees as infuriating will have an explanation that makes sense. This does not make them non-infuriating.
Like beauty, infuriation is in the eye of the inflamed.
Did the growth outpace inflation under Biden?. The only thing I found in your link was a graph that ends with Biden’s first year that showed flat funding for ICE, plus some assertions about its total decades-long growth.
You’re absolutely right that ICE should be replaced with a few hundred bureaucratic functionaries to stamp passports. But I don’t think we get there without clear partisan blame.
why would Biden increase the ICE budget
The null hypothesis here would be with “inflation”, and simpler explanations than yours would be “because Trump cut the funds” and “COVID lockdowns”
You may be right, but if you want anyone to accept your theory you need to provide sufficient evidence to overcome the simple answers.
Just because a family is going to predicably do the wrong thing doesn’t mean that the wrong thing is somehow right.
“In reality, they’re going to both be wrong and argue very loudly that they arent. Take some time to contemplate a good redirection when they try to blame you instead of the facists.”
Stackexchange sites aren’t intended as forums, they’re supposed to be “places to find answers to questions”.
The more you get away from stack overflow itself the worse they get, though, because anything beyond “how can I fix this tech problem” doesn’t necessarily have an answer at all, much less a single best one
“if we just made this opt-in” has become the bleakest nonsense in IT.
Be it LLMs or ads or “free” albums, tech companies just can’t accept that “make me say yes” should always be the default.
This isn’t a paradox. It’s the ordinary and expected outcome of you have a junior whose work you can never trust.
Regardless of what your profession is, if you have a source of “work input” that requires specific instruction for near every task and whose output must be carefully examined, then the part of your job which is reviewing drafted work would necessarily increase.
This is especially true in engineering fields, where the things that can be abstracted into repeatable tasks usually are. Computers saved structural engineers from having to do all their math separately and higher-abstraction languages saved programmers from having to futz around in assembly, but neither of those had to be manually checked.
