I've been using critcl for a long time, and maybe weirdly still end up using it despite often using nim. Fantastic software.

I feel like when society has an air of doom you are more likely to see it wherever you are. HN is still fairly international though.
It feels like hearing Diddy advocate for various legalized recreational drugs, sadly.
Can I ask what time periods?

I have no personal experience of Kyrgyzstan or Russia, but my hunch would be that the noughts were riddled with taxi drivers like you say, while that has slightly improved over time? I mean, perestroika is known for having those problems, wasn't it? Correct me if I am wrong please anybody, thank you.

Also, kudos on your travel.

> And it’s way beyond the comprehension of human knowledge.

Are you fairly religious, if you don't mind my asking?

Are there any LLMs available with a, "give me copyrighted material" button? I don't think that is how they work.

Commercial use of someone's image also already has laws concerning that as far as I know, don't they?

> Grow up. One isn't an automatic asshole just because they don't share your worldview.

This has self contained irony; I hope you realize that.

It can be pretty shocking seeing all the shell games immediately underneath the Eiffel tower, to your point.

How in the world did Juche become our national philosophy? I'm not sure, but I think about it all the time now.

I'm on HN, so I tend to want to blame the ad industry. It's pretty nebulous to think that "made in America" directly snowballed into this; so many things did. The freakier nativism in advertising really could use a break right about now though.

Indefinite royalties on Spotify are one thing, but how are they supposed to work in neural nets? Dividing equal share based on inputs would require the company to potentially expose proprietary information. Basing it on outputs could make sense as well I suppose, but would take some slightly ridiculous work for an arguable result.

Your point remains, but the problem of the division of responsibility and financial credit doesn't go away with that alone. Do you know if the openAI lawsuits have laid this out?

Almost entirely.

On 20 September 2022, Luhansk Oblast governor Serhiy Haidai reported that Russian troops had "razed [Bilohorivka] to the ground" during their failed attempts to recapture it, stating that Ukrainian forces had full control of the town.[78]

On 18 October, Russia attempted an assault with artillery support on Bilohorivka, but the attack was repulsed. Russian troops continued to shell liberated settlements.

The armored vehicle assaults and drones destroy trenches and buildings, make craters too, but the sheer extent and size of those craters is from artillery. The tank battles weren't too destructive relatively IIRC

Elon has positioned adopting lidar as a personal defeat - I am curious if his ego would allow that course correction.
> You vote for a person not a specific policy

You're not wrong as general rule of thumb imo, or in a straight sense of reality, but tell that to the evangelicals who spend their time slandering abortion.

One question that they presume the answer to iiuc, is that they have a pardon waiting for them. - an inverted sword of Damocles hanging out waiting to save them. IMO, many probably do, but plenty who think they will be safe don't have the right profile and will only be offered one if they have enough money. Guliani offered them for.. 2 million I think last time? You'll have to check that.
At Google's scale, what would be the hosting costs of this I wonder. Very expensive after a certain point, I would guess.
Contemporaneous notes are used in courts a lot though, aren't they?

The lack of originality is proof that God exists. First time I've heard that tbh.

This comes across as naivety to the point of trolling their own employees. It might be worth following where those particular executives go, and to maybe avoid being involved with those companies with services and the like if you have options.

r/TCL is worth a mention
People very much need this. Making them visually more fitting, less distracting, would be a nice next step.

This won't replace the mixer I run my audio through, though. A bit of a pain, and you need a mixer, but try it if you can.

It is bad audio processing; "too good" rather, as if the silver screen was the only place anyone watched movies.
Indeed I was, thanks. I had a late morning, thanks for catching that.
I've watched these developers make the game for years now. I hardly believed they would succeed. Big congrats.
Fujitsu has been an astounding company ime, just premium hardware
>Tesla Model Y is the best selling car in the world.

In what way?

I agree on your point about good enough. I don't see how they defeat foggy weather and the like with cameras alone however, so I'm wondering if they will ever get that last 1% as things stand. I think they need more sensors to stand a chance at that.
There will be no 'Volkswagen' tesla, the model Y is going the way of the GT-R, and Tesla's other ideas are vaporware. Lidar is a superior approach. Refusing to use it, while claiming superiority, reminds me of how a child copes with losing at their favorite video game.

Talk about your wife some more?

The emotional churn when watching russians throw their lives away in belligerent assaults in flattened cities, mined fields and the like, is difficult to convey; righteous fury I've never felt in another context.

My grandfather was in the Pacific theater during WW2, but only the military knows why he had nightmares.
It is extraordinarily malicious, and reminds me of Michael Richards.
