Or a gastroenterologist instead of a neurosurgeon 🤔

I wonder how much of that is down to their real world sucking and their digital world being pretty cool.

Then they’d be alienating the open source community that makes a lot of contributions (though much of chromium is still essentially built internally). They also wouldn’t be able to lock down the code that’s already been released under the more permissive BSD license.

Now, a fork of Chromium is its own beast. Some searching shows that just to build it takes 30 minutes on a decent workstation. It’s huge, which makes me think it’s the kind of project that could only really be maintained by a large company. Not necessarily a Google sized company, but a large one nonetheless if you seriously want to remove the dependency on Google.

EDIT: turns out it’s Chrome that takes that long to build, which includes things not in Chromium like Widevine, licensed codecs, telemetry, sync, that kind of thing.

“I just had this 4 foot slab of walnut laying around”

2.5 floors? Is that how they describe lofts or something?

“What’s YOUR deal?” sounds pretty aggressive, “what’s your DEAL?” sounds borderline inflammatory, but I think there’s a very neutral delivery without particular stress that sounds more like an open ended question than an aggression. Still, probably not great around fully sober folks.

…

Well now I gotta!

I know someone with a fat one they use for smoothies and shakes.

Do you mean upholstered furniture? What’s the norm for furniture where you live?

Nah that’s perfectly logical

All you really would’ve need to do is update the ownership via root user, which you can actually do from the installer. Kinda funny cause you already went through the process of mounting and running the installer, so you were already there.

Hot tip: isup.me also redirects to it

Man, games must be some of the first software children actually get a hold of. It’s also why I got into programming.

Santa has many helpers. You think he goes to all those houses by himself??

I think the problem here is there’s no prior consent. If you’ve DM’d someone in the past, they can now call you. Twitter never had video call before, and the people who use it never expected to be giving consent for a video call maybe even several years later.

But isn’t Roman just a blanket term for a ton of different ethnicities and nationalities?

PORN MODE ON

I was thinking more like an “Other” with a free input field

Current AI’s ability to augment coding is no joke. I had ChatGPT (not even the latest one) write me a prosody plugin in Lua for some Jitsi integrations I was working on. It got it almost right, but I had to go in and compare its work with other prosody plugins to see where it went wrong. But see, at that point the only thing I knew about prosody was how to install plugins for it. Now I have a good understanding of how it works and also how it works with Jitsi based mostly on ChatGPT’s code and explanations. This all happened over the course of maybe two hours whereas if I just did it by myself I’d probably be banging my head all day cause prosody’s docs are passable but its documentation with regards to Jitsi’s usage of it is non existent.

They definitely have a place in creative work. As an engine not a driver. For example, when writing songs I use them to help me try and rephrase things or find different words to convey what I want. I’ve also used them to give me ideas for variations to explore on game mechanics, or generate sample data with a loose set of parameters, or create some reference material for drawing. But every time I’ve used them they have pretty much never gotten it right the first time. Always there’s revisions, always there’s at least some massaging I have to do on my part to make it coherent. And why wouldn’t there be? If I could write a prompt so precise that it gave me something exact, I would need to already know precisely what I want and maybe wouldn’t even need the AI at all. For creative stuff at least, it has to make some garbage otherwise it’s not really creating enough variation to be useful.
