He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on ChatGPT's viral Studio Ghibli-style images highlight AI copyright concerns 5 days ago:
I don’t see how this changes anything. Style isn’t copyrightable, so if anything it seems the least concern.
Characters or specific scenes, those are the really juicy bits.

And the old WCFAN (we couldn’t find a name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!
- Comment on LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week 1 week ago:
The way the write “best value” on the offer for 8.50 £/month is just brazen.
If you use Office Home 2024 for 120£ for just 15 months or more it’s already cheaper.

I used TexStudio for my Master’s thesis, it worked fine for me. I haven’t done a full survey of available LaTex distributions though :-)

No worries, I just wanted to make sure. I could totally have missed stuff.

25 years so… Tarzan? Lilo and Stitch? The Emperor’s New Groove?

I’m aware of:
- Unbalanced power over 12VHPWR including some melting in some cases.
- Missing ROPs on 5080.
- 5070 not reaching 4090 performance levels because that was just a marketing lie.
None of those really seem to apply. Were there any more?
- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 3 weeks ago:
Countries that use Jus Soli usually also have Jus Sanguinis. The USA for example. My friend is a US citizen despite not being born there because his mother is a US citizen.
Not having Jus Sanguinis would be downright horrible. Imagine your mother moves back to her home country and if you want to follow her you have to clear immigration hurdles.
- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 3 weeks ago:
The better term might be “abroad”, rather than “overseas”. Because Jus Soli is a concept that exists mostly in the Americas. So you’d better not cross over the Atlantic or Pacific sea.
- Comment on Why most countries are struggling to shut down 2G. 3 weeks ago:
just like they don’t turn off analog radio
Got bad news for you. They are starting in some places.
The Swiss public broadcaster shut down it’s FM channels at the turn of 2024 to 2025, at the end of next year all of the others have to shut down as well. It’s moving to DAB+ only, it’s a big pain for older cars.

If you divide an inequality by a negative number you have to flip the sign.
If you want to divide out the g before knowing if it’s positive or negative you need to make the case distinction.
If you make the case distinction and one branch results in a false statement (5 < 2 in this case), you have disproven the original inequality, or at least discovered a constraint on the original inequality. Then you arrive back at FooBarrington’s statement :-)

I think the thing you’d have to replace is outside the body. Something like this:

Both of those, and also different signal modulation.

I feel like the title of the article should really be future tense.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
This sign implies we want the federal government in our local tax policy?
Where do you read this implication from?
I’m really asking because I might be missing something, because my background is so different.
To me it reads like he thinks local taxes should work differently, either be lower, or be raised based on a different factor other than property value. But I can’t see the federal connection.

True, you just need to make sure you start high enough up, or exempt the value of a primary residence (maybe limit the exemption to a non-opulent value of a house so the richest don’t start building castles to bind their money tax free)

Does that sounds a bit ominous to anyone else? :D

Wonder how long this will last. Bet they are burning angel investors money up to now, going public is the first step towards having to become profitable.
- Comment on Microsoft has pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI 4 weeks ago:
Fiber buildouts were cancelled back in 2000 because multimode made existing fiber more efficient.
Sorry but that makes no sense in multiple ways.
-
First of all single mode fiber provides magnitudes higher capacity than multi mode.
-
Secondly the modal patterns depend on the physics of the cable, specifically its core diameter. Single mode fibers has a 9 micrometer core, multi mode 50 or 62.5 micrometers. So you can’t change the light modes on existing fiber.
-
Thirdly multi mode fiber existed first, so it couldn’t be the improvement. And single mode fiber was becoming the way forward for long distance transmission in 1982 already, and the first transatlantic cable with it was laid in 1988. So it couldn’t be the improvement of 2000 either.
You must mean something else entirely.

I’ve verified this to be real. The Knesset webpage links to the Twitter profile, where the post from the screenshot currently appears are the 2nd from the top.
- Comment on Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that game was unplayable for me. I rebind my keys, but there were functions hard bound to keys, probably from like debugging or something, so pressing them would execute two functions. Specifically it was camera rotation. That was disorientating as hell.

- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 5 weeks ago:
And Jainism has infinitely many gods, they just aren’t that important, from what I gather.
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 5 weeks ago:
I’m also in that group, I only meant to write a direct parallel to the title, for comparison :-)
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 5 weeks ago:
Just FYI millennia is a plural form: one millennium, two millennia. So you’re from a different millennium.

Thank you!
With the links I could also scroll though some posts and saw some other people using the handle to congratulate him on his new position. Seems real to me.

Is that actually him? Just yesterday I fell for “Kash Patel News” on Twitter, and found his right handle there is Kash_Patel, but this seems to be a different platform.
