I’ve found the $5 a month tier to be just about right. There have been a few months I’ve gone over, but they make that super easy to deal with: they just change the subscription renewal date and you start your next month a few days early.
I don’t remember who said it first, but I’ve linked it before: there’s no paradox if tolerance is a social contact rather than an ethic. If someone breaks the terms of the contact, then the other party is not bound by it any more.
I get where you’re coming from. Unfortunately, it’s not really that simple. Sometimes a relationship is so toxic that there’s no way to restore the basic trust that’s needed in order to function as a unit. This is no different. Pre-Trump, we might have been able to talk and salvage things; at this point, they’re just as broken as a relationship full of cheating and domestic abuse. My fear is that the only way forward is breakup (ie civil war) or some other equally deep trauma.
If you’re having problems with a lot of people you like being blocked by your server, it’s probably a good sign that you should change your server. That’s kind of the point of being able to do that.
It would basically let you see all the hidden characters that indicate formatting, which made it possible to see why your text would suddenly display in a weird way.
First time I ever saw in-car GPS was arrive 2003 when I was hitchhiking in Japan. Heading the car just give directions was mind-blowing; it was like being in a William Gibson novel.
I’m confused here: Hasn’t Red Dead Redemption been on Steam for years?
That’s a great point, thanks for adding it!
Because I’m not really that invested. The Steam launch will have the effect of making me check it out, so I guess that will at least work as intended.
I was really excited about this game when I first heard about it, right up until I learned it was Ubisoft. Their involvement makes me pretty dubious, so I’ll wait and see how hard they crank the monetization handle, and also what the reviews look like.
In a similar vein, “not the sharpest spoon in the drawer”
If you haven’t, you might want to read Patrick O’Brien’s Aubrey/Maturin series, or at least to peruse this list from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AubreyMaturinSeries/comments/4ak12q/which_its_a_prodigious_great_list_of_aubreys/
Yup, my Lemur has completely lost one hinge; I’ve actually got the case duct taped together at this point. Their customer support was really bad when i contacted them about it; they tried to get me to agree to charges before they even told me what they were charging me for: it took me days of escalation to get the answer that they were going to ship me a part but had no instructions or videos for installation and didn’t recommend end users do it. I’m actually looking at Framework now instead; I’m pretty done with System 76 at this point.
Sure, but to me that means the latest information is that AI assistants help produce insecure code. If someone wants to perform a study with more recent models to show that’s no longer the case, I’ll revisit my opinion. Until then, I’m assuming that the study holds true. We can’t do security based on “it’s probably fine now.”
Pedantics fighting pedantics LOL
I think you mean “pedants fighting pedants” :p
As a cybersecurity guy, it’s things like this study, which said:
Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI’s codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.
I absolutely agree that it can’t create finished content of any particular value. For my D&D use case, its value is instead as a brainstorming tool; it can churn out enough ideas quickly enough that it’s easy for me to find a couple of gems that I can polish up into something usable.
This is why my most frequent use of it is brainstorming scenarios for my D&D game: it’s really good at making up random bullshit.
It sounds like you should be doing the shopping when you want to do the cooking.
