Consider: dishwashing-as-a-service subscription model. You get the dishwasher chemicals in the post - the dishwasher automatically requests the next lot when it feels like it - and there's cover for repairs; for this you can either pay a regular fee or make in-app purchases of WashCoin, which you then spend when you need to wash the dishes. Maybe add a gacha mode to the app to win bonus wash / rinse / self-clean cycles.
Many mobile devices render pages in a virtual window aka viewport, which is wider than the screen, and then shrink the rendered result down so it can all be seen at once.
Mobile browsers can stop doing that any time they want. They do it because pages not optimized for mobile and break often in mobile.
This 'shit-sifting' phenomenon in common in open protocols with lots of software and inertia.
1. Bad shit in the other end breaks this end.
2. Fix it with hack in this end.
3. Good shit in the other end is now bad shit with the fix.
4. Add workaround to make good shit good again.
(Microsoft Internet Explorer was born after Bill Gates did seance and Satan taught him to use this phenomenon to corrupt the internet.)
The EU was established in 1993. Arm was founded in 1990.
For that matter the UK is composed of islands and parts thereof and nothing in "continental Europe", a term which refers to just the contiguous landmass. (Gibraltar is owned by the UK, but not part of it.)
Luckily Europe is not defined by the EU or sea levels, and the UK is very much in Europe the continent.
Technically true, which as we all know is the best kind of true. Note, however:
“The United Kingdom (along with the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar) was a member state of the European Union (EU) and of its predecessor the European Communities (EC) – principally the European Economic Community (EEC) – from 1 January 1973 until 31 January 2020.”
Compare the start of this subthread: “Didn't ARM start in Europe?”
Whatever point it is that subsequent responders were trying to score by mentioning continental europe is moot: Britain was part of Europe in more ways than merely its location.
Your attention to detail is admirable. I feel like if we allow in the EEC we should also give recognition to Acorn of Acorn RISC Machines which was founded in 1978. So really OP should have asked,
"Was Acorn founded in part of a decendant of the European Coal and Steel Community, notwithstanding certain (disputed) conditions of the Treaty of Utrecht (1713)?”
If people start being pedantic, I feel responding in kind is entirely fair.
TBH I'm still not quite understanding why people feel it is so important to clarify that Britain is only in Europe geographically; but I wonder, does it make a difference that Hermann Hauser is actually Austrian? ;)
(I'm really not interested in squabbles about national identity and EU membership, but I do think it's fun to examine claims carefully, especially when it undermines ideological talking points.)
Compare the British experience of privatising their railways. What happens in practice is that other countries' state-run railways take ownership, extract profit and use it to help subsidise the non-privatised railway systems back home.
The outcome is about what you'd expect; it is unclear why this pattern is expected to be a win for the British public, and the policies are now slowly being reversed.
Bought Sublime a decade ago, bought the new version last year, still love it.
If we're doing feature requests: a "recently closed windows" alongside the "recently closed files" would be amazing, for when I misclick and close a window containing a bunch of open files and a folder or two :)
You can get models that run offline. The other risk is copyright/licensing exposure; e.g. the AI regurgitates a recognisably large chunk of GPL code, and suddenly you have a legal landmine in your project waiting to be discovered. There's no sane way for a reviewer to spot this situation in general.
You can ask a human to not do that, and there are various risks to them personally if they do so regardless. I'd like to see the AI providers take on some similar risks instead of disclaiming them in their EULAs before I trust them the way I might a human.
This isn't like lossless compression. Both techniques involve throwing lots of information away, with the justification that doing so does not significantly affect the end result.
The extent to which using both the techniques together will help will depend on how much overlap there is between the information each ends up discarding.
Modern LLMs are still quite inefficient in their representation of information. We're at like the DEFLATE era and we've still yet to invent zstd where there's only marginal incremental gains; so right now there's a lot of waste to prune away.
This is actually pretty low on the asshole scale.
