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.

This isn’t about gathering data so much as it is encouraging Trump supporters to get out and vote, is my read.

Good thing real life doesn’t follow videogame logic

At 60mph with a 2 second following distance, you’d need about 176 feet, so you’d want 3 car lengths with 50 foot cars.

It’s a reference to your username

That’s a great point, thanks for adding it!

Thanks!

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.

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.

If it gets to the Supreme Court, I’m sure they’ll go down on them all night long.

Sure, our society is so progressive we could never backslide to the point that abortion is illegal or anything.

Beside that, if he’s throwing around billions, he’s likely most interested in economic issues like unions and worker protections.

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.

Growing up I remember hearing that red cars were the most expensive for insurance, as owners of red cars had the highest incidence of speeding and dangerous driving.

Here’s the first few paragraphs:

Aug 26 (Reuters) - Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan’s initiative to use antitrust laws to protect workers faces a key test on Monday when the agency will argue the merger between grocery chain Kroger (KR.N), and its rival Albertsons (ACI.N), would crush unionized workers’ bargaining power.

Khan and her fellow antitrust enforcers in the Biden administration have sought to use antitrust laws - deployed in recent decades mostly to protect consumers against high prices - to combat what they view as anticompetitive practices squeezing workers’ paychecks.

Labor has been an area of focus for Khan, a former law professor and congressional antitrust counsel, who took the reins of the agency in June 2021.

… she’s proudly left leaning.

She’s a billionaire. She’s no more left leaning than Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. She just flies socially progressive flags.
