There’s still some retraining needed to go from CS to Affinity Suite, but I did it around 5 years ago after 25 years on Adobe and would never go back. And now Affinity 3 is effectively free for basic use. Of course, this is probably the beginning of the end for it as Canva attempts not-a-subscription services on the Affinity platform (making it freemium), but I expect my Affinity 2 suite will still work for years to come.
It’s why I started treating computers as commodities — I rarely upgrade anymore; just wait the 5 years and by an entirely new system.
. . . Or find that your keyboard has gone wandering unexpectedly.
It helps define the space; the implements are tied to the zone, meaning that’s the defined work area. Also makes it harder to just clear off the surface to use it for something else.
I have zero of those items. For me:
Pumping the classrooms full of mostly nitrogen gas….
Give them a choice between Arabic and Chinese :D
Did someone in DOGE finally realize it would be more efficient to embed the employees in other departments and close DOGE?
Also, make it more difficult to bring those responsible to account?
I guarantee NASA could if they had the money and freedom.
And therein lies the rub.
Although with some technologies, NASA has already fully closed down the projects and so would be starting from notes for the next round, having to figure out the implementation all over again.
Thankfully in the case of the Voyager program, there’s still a skeleton of it that’s fully operational, so replicating it would be astronomically simpler.
Yes; as with so many revelations, the facts shouldn’t be surprising, but the evidence is actionable where the assumptions weren’t.
Who says it isn’t? The geolocation only does the first hop. Of course, in the case of Nigeria, it’s organized crime running this with forced labor and being paid off by international interests to do it. It’s more profitable than nigerian prince scams.
I do find it strange that this is surprising to some.
It’s been pretty obvious to us external observers.
Or, make it all about you, but only with that person.
“When that happened to ME…”
“That reminds me of the time <totally unrelated thing in your life>….”
“I have a friend who’s an expert in that and HE said….”
[edit] actually, what I do with those people is ask probing questions, things they couldn’t possibly know the answer to. As a last resort, I insert something that I know someone else in the group is interested in, and invite them into the conversation, exiting at the same time or shortly after.
Also, holding a plate or glass and then realizing you have to go refill it and making yourself scarce works.
Could have?
Thing is, why are there conditions on what Ukraine has to do in a peace plan between the US and Russia?
The instructions suggest turning off features in two apps I don’t use.
Does this mean people only using webmail aren’t having their messages used for training, or just that they can’t opt out?
[edit] malwarebytes has updated their report— NONE of those settings is related to training data. This whole story was based on a misunderstanding of the settings.
Yes, but that seems like over engineering a solved problem?
And it would be rather tricky. The button would be simple; even a pair of Bluetooth headphones could do it. The tricky bit would be in figuring out how long the ad is and pressing the 10 second skip key the correct number of times and then pressing the skip ad button if required.
Easier (and more secure) just to use an ad blocker.
Ah, but they’ve already claimed that Musk wasn’t part of DOGE and he’ll claim that the employees were making assumptions and he never said such a thing. And he’d probably be correct; Musk is much better than Trump at weasel wording things.
Doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a meticulous investigation though.
Why not revert to the Internet of the 1990s, before it was commercialized and before Internet became synonymous with Web Services?
Of course, the truth is, even back then, there were a lot of dark memes on Usenet.
You forgot to follow it up with “copilot: open windows” then.
Using thorn, of course, isn’t going to disrupt an LLM. It’s just another probability in the model. And a very small one at that.
Personally, I þink it’s cute.
