Error correction helps a scanner account for portions of the code being obscured/unreadable, whereas a bad background can make a code not even recognizable as a code in the first place. (depending on the algorithm used, how bad it is, yadda yadda)

I know you’re joking, but some of them are right there

Finally, the lawyer dog

Here’s the full quote:

Case in point: in addition to having to pay a guy who he bet $5 million couldn’t prove him wrong $5 million after that guy proved him wrong, and after he went to court to try to avoid paying the money, Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.

There’s nothing technically wrong with it, it’s just really awkwardly worded.

Actually, those benches are kinda uncomfortable. Still a nice rest after you’ve been walking for a couple hours, but not suitable for anything else.

I still don’t think you understand the point of the graphic. It’s called “What European language am I reading?”, not “how are these European languages related?”

Why do advertisers want you to have tools that help you detect covert advertising?

Apparently it ended up being 12. You can look them up here:

• Don Bacon, Nebraska
• Brian Fitzpatrick, Pennsylvania
• Andy Harris, Maryland
• Jaime Herrula Beutler, Washington
• Richard Hudson, North Carolina
• John Kakto, New York
• Nicole Malliotakis, New York
• Daniel Meuser, Pennsylvania
• Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Iowa
• Bill Posey, Florida
• Christopher H. Smith, New Jersey
• Frederick Stephen Upton, Michigan

This is from 2022. It’s worth noting that in this vote it was bundled with a Marijuana decriminalization bill, which is probably why the Republicans voted against it.

Tomorrow!^ohwait^wrongfootball

The character you’re looking for it ɪ, not I. In this case I think you’d write [ˈdɪsˌtɹoʊ ˈbɪsˌtɹoʊ] (also adding secondary stress and correcting to a more likely rhotic). Although it depends on accent (especially because I chose phonetic ([]) transcription instead of phonemic (//, which you originally had) (which means transcribing the actual sounds (I kept this pretty broad still because I don’t know how you pronounce words exactly) instead of the conceptual sounds they map onto) because this is intended at least in part for an audience which doesn’t primarily speak English) and there’s a lot of ambiguity anyways (is there actually secondary stress on the second syllable (where is that syllable boundary anyways? I originally had it before the s but I think in regular speech [s.t] is more likely to be realized.)? I think there should be but Wiktionary doesn’t include it).

Uhh yeah all those parentheses seem to match up. I’m not editing that down more to try to make sense, my first draft was even more verbose lol

My main takeaway is: Alexis Ohanian (Reddit’s u/kn0thing) is married to Serena Williams???

Git is not a blockchain. Most importantly, it’s not distributed. There’s a singular git server that all git clients for that repository connect to and use as a source of truth.

“required to prosecute all crimes to the fullest extent of the law”, taken literally, requires prosecutors to prosecute everyone for every crime all the time. After all, you don’t know what might turn up in discovery, anything could potentially have happened! Obviously, there has to be some judgement call made, where there’s just not enough evidence to prosecute me for drunk driving even though I stopped an inch past the stop sign. Ultimately, that’s just prosecutorial discretion again, and while it could be reformed and limited somewhat, it will always exist and be abused.

I think you’re on the money there. Copyright was originally intended as industry regulation, a way to prevent larger book publishers from just copying a smaller publisher’s book on day one and flooding the market with their copies. It’s applied to many more industries than just books (good!) but also to a wider group than actual publishers (bad!). When someone running a massive free ROMs site gets taken down, that’s probably reasonable, they’re playing the role of a publisher there and unfairly undercutting the competition (although the penalties in the US are still absurdly steep, as they usually are for individuals in this country). But when someone gets attacked for posting an image on social media, or streamers have to worry about the music playing in their games, or ISPs have to enforce against downloaders of pirated software, or modders have to be careful about linking their mod in such a way that no original code is included, that’s not what copyright should be.

I think even wilder is that he thinks content which has explicitly been labeled “do not scrape except for search engine indexing” is a “gray area” with regards to scraping for AI. Like, that’s exactly what it says not to do!

Hm, 8.8.8.8? That was 5 years after Gmail.

Docs, Sheets, and Slides were all acquisitions. I guess Drive and Forms are good.

Some of those laws are no longer on the books, so I wonder about that one. Like, what does “around the town square” actually mean? There’s not a straightforward “town square” in Oxford. And while the article asks “What exactly happened to make Oxford so protective of its town square?”, you and I both know the answer is “drunk college students”. Also funny that they don’t actually show the public sidewalk, but instead the little square between Elliot and Stoddard for the sidewalk law.

Edit: a quick search through the municipal traffic codes doesn’t reveal anything, so I’m guessing this is one of Miami’s many rumors that happened to get picked up by a less-than-thourough website. Or potentially it used to exist but no longer does. Or maybe I missed it, but I’m willing to bet that’s not the case.

Good post. Quick question: are these actually tested with GPT-4 or GPT-4o (which is the default ChatGPT engine currently, and believed to be trained largely independently of GPT-4)?
