Strange. It is working for me without pay wall.

Won't it be even worse?

We need to re-send the full context when switching model. It's like sending your data to all provider, so at lease some of them will use it for training ...

The disk full scenario is greatly improved. Still buggy, but it is recoverable.

Raid 5 is still consider unsafe.

Don't run postgresql on it.

So..... it's "very stable, unless you do this or that" state.

This is basically asking for discovery of another case when you are being suing for one case.

I think the US court system is famous for being slow. Not sure if anyone wants to make it go even slower.

It is more common in high-latitude countries. Very uncommon in lower latitude.

When they inverse the priority, there are little reason to keep on using C++.

When one truly believes:

0) Subjecting fruitfly life to this kind of treatment is unethical.

1) Life is just physics in action.

2) Physics are just algorithm (or our physical world is a simulation)

It is not hard to understand why they think it is unethical.

My question are

1) is all life equal?

2) is all suffering unethical?

3) is this world materialistic or are there something out there?

4) should a list of items begin with 0 or 1?

Lots of people here exposing their single sign on approve code because a scammer ask them to send them a screenshot.

I think the market is buying more gold from US than ever -- this is trading US dollar for gold

US gold export is at its all-time high.

I wonder how they are going to enforce this.

I meant, it would be great if this can be enforced without being yet another id verification scheme. ... but I am not optimistic on this one.

Exactly.

Debian allow you to choose different solver (typical Debian). It is easy to get galactic blow up if you insist.

Ugh? It is not just the knowledge

Some model are more aggressive by default, some are more verbose by default. To get the result you want for your specific application, you run experiment with prompts and parameters.

Because AI have a recall of 80% or 90% at best. While it might be better than some human, it won't hit the 100% TLA+ modeling aims

I think the problem is how we keep the cattle.

In natural environment, they cohabitant with other animals. They migrates.

When we farm them, we remove anything not our primary product.
