There’s a difference between something having an optional internet connection, and something requiring one. I can control my smart home through the internet, but when the internet connection breaks and I’m at home, I can still control it.

Didn’t they require one of these bigger upgrades to still get security updates? I thought I read something about 23H2 (or similar) not getting updates anymore.

“Whoopsie, we turned it on for everyone by accident after an update! We made a fucky wucky!”

Turns out Plenius was right all along!

The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the “brightness” - that has nothing to do with the object).

This is obviously false, otherwise all objects would look the same under any color of light - yet they don’t. This example actually shows that it is only the light itself that matters, because it has the information of the objects it interacted with during its lifetime!

No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That’s just not what the word “hear” means.

But everyone would agree that we’re hearing the sound waves produced by the violin. Again, a great example counter to your point, as the equivalent to a sound wave is the photon.

Ah yes, that’s famously why screens literally build tiny versions of the world inside them. We don’t see the light, we see the objects!

I’m only making assumptions, but I’d guess that 300nm is the range of frequencies it can amplify. AFAIK fibre cables are used with multiple “channels” by sending data with different frequencies at once. Say your signal range is centered around 850nm, this amplifier could amplify in the range of 700-1000nm.

But I might be totally off, just guessing.

Yes, the first example does the same thing, but there’s still less to mentally parse. Ideally you should just use if len(mylist) == 0:.

This is honestly the worst version regarding readability. Don’t rely on implicit coercion, people.

IMO that’s the point - he doesn’t have anything to live for, or left to lose.

But I also don’t think it’s supposed to be a good, logical motivation - simply an emotional one. And you gotta admit, there’s probably no setup that better pulls people on his side than killing that puppy like that.

The sky color is part of the training data. How did the LLMs include the training data before it existed?

Not fined, just banned.

Nah, just turn the first word into an adjective.

“Iced cream” sounds far more sophisticated than boring ice cream.

What the fuck? Literally some of the most ass movies I’ve ever seen.

That’s not how R&D works. It’s really rare to have “progress across the board”, usually you have incremental improvements in specific areas that come together to an across-the-board improvement.

So we’d be getting improvements slower since there’s much less profit from individual advancements, as they can’t be released. What’s the advantage here?

I never understood this kind of objection. You yourself state that maybe 10% of users can find some good use for this - and that means that we should stop developing the technology until some arbitrary, higher threshold is met? 10% of users is an incredibly big amount! Why is that too little for this development to make sense?

What are these costs?

Why don’t you look it up?

And how come shifting an hour kills people?? Stress?? Cant be just that??

Ah, then we’re good. I mean, there’s many studies that show that heart attacks happen much more frequently when the time switches, but you say it can’t be just that, so it must be something else.
