Will be very sad if Discogs gets acquired. Their database is freely available to download! Very cool for running your own data projects

Clueless human, but what stops a company from ignoring these laws from certain states? How is this enforceable if a company doesn't have any infrastructure within that state?

Are you guys living in NYC ?! …there is plenty of poverty in Manhattan and poor people with cars who use them to travel…

As I was watching and reloaded the page, apple seems to have taken down their tutorials related to this, for now. Still, really exciting to see official support for getting games ported from windows!!

Yea, my thinking is pretty absurd. But it’s because I’m being irrational. The feeling will pass. ultimately, I am wrong.

As an irrational New Yorker who’s paid thousands of dollars in those evil yellow parking tickets, I’m for this and anything else that reasonably makes a traffic cops life more difficult and unfair on the job.

Is there a potential short term solution that can utilize p2p networking to train and run an open GPT instance openly? (Until we reach a point to run larger, quality networks efficiently with simpler resources)

New comment by WUMBOWUMBO in "Translating the Bible is a vexed task"

WUMBOWUMBO — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 16:59:35 +0000

John exists outside of the Hebrew Scriptures though. I would go as far as to disagree with the statement “The Tetragrammaton is important to Christianity.”

Translations of the Tetragrammaton exists in some translations of the Bible and removed in most others (in place of LORD), for example Pslams 83:18. Hebrew Scriptures keep the title intact, Christian translations remove it.

Why is that?

P.S. the Tetragrammaton does not translate literally to Jesus

P.P.S Scrolling through this list of translations doesn’t seem to render the Tetragrammaton for your given verse (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208&versio...)

Most Bible translations remove the tetragrammaton, anyone familiar with whether or not it appears in copies of the Torah? Many Christian denominations simply don’t acknowledge its existence.

If I recall anything about my days in the DOE, a motivated student won’t have any problems getting their hands on a banned ChatGPT on a school network.
