I can second that. While a little bit of muscle is hot, the weightlifter/bodybuilder/linerback/etc style body does nothing for me and the "roided out" look is a complete turnoff.
That said, you shouldn't do things like that just to attract people. If you wanna be some big muscle guy, do it cause you want to. And if that is the kinda person you wanna be, cool, there will be people who will be attracted to you for the person you are.
... just don't do steroids. That shit's bad for you.
Now companies can profit from open source code without contributing back to the ecosystem.
They could literally always do that. Unless they changed the software, most open source licenses required nothing but maybe a mention of attribution (which no one will ever read). And some don't even require that. They could also always use FOSS tools to develop software without contributing anything back. How is Copilot different from that?
And honestly, Copilot is pretty amazing for devs. Why would I care that Microsoft profits off it when it benefits us too? While I love FOSS and all else equal would choose it every time, it's unreasonable to expect everything to be free and open source. People have to make a living somehow and open source rarely pays the bills.
I'm not sure how Microsoft is stifling the community either. They seem to have been running GitHub great and they've made a lot of great dev tools in recent years. I used to absolutely loath Microsoft, but these days they're mostly alright in my book (at least from a developer PoV). Stuff like how they've handled GitHub, creation of WSL, VS Code, etc have all been great.
Jesus Christ... It's even worse than the headline appears. They went extra far out of their way to keep him not only from acting as mayor, but also in the town's fire department. They made blatantly racist comments. And they apparently had previously maintained an unelected white "dynasty" of sorts on the mayor position. Despite the town being 85% black, they've never had a black mayor (or an elected one, for that matter).
Ugh, pokemon is the worst at this. They've somehow gotten only more handholdy. Yet they bizarrely don't even try to explain the advanced concepts in most games (SV's school was the first in game reference for some of those, though it's still not that great of an explanation).
And what is the price? I think it's like $16 CAD a month or so? So the price of a movie ticket and not even enough for a small popcorn. I find it a bit overreacting that people act like that's way too expensive for what you get out of it. Used to be that I'd spend way more than that for a TV show season on DVD that I'd finish in a week.
I'm not saying this is a good move. But the folks vowing to only ever pirate because a month of content costs about as much as my local hourly min wage seems a bit much.
Why is it called Canadian bacon anyway? In Canada, we'd call that "ham". Bacon is bacon!
In Canada, carriers are required to only sell unlocked phones for the past several years.
Yeah. Whoever gave the order to fire these people and those who actuated it (if different) should go to jail. Corporations for whatever batshit reason are constantly treated with kids gloves. They'll only ever get fined most of the time. Yet, corporations are just groups of individuals. Some individual (or individuals) gave this order. They should be arrested.
This shouldn't be civil, it should be criminal. If spray painting a statue can get people arrested, so too should illegally firing them (especially in a way like this, which is extremely bad for workers rights as a whole).
But it doesn't copy full sentences. If they did, maybe they wouldn't be such black boxes. They build this utterly insanely huge matrix of data that are basically just weights for parameters and there's billions of parameters (which make up the entirety of what the LLM "knows" or "can know"). It's closest to text prediction. Even though it doesn't know full sentences, if the sentence was used enough times, it can predict the rest of it. It can even do that without having scraped a book, simply because it scraped something else (likely many something elses) that had the quote.
Zelda BotW and TotK (previous Zelda games would be in my All Ages tier)
I'd consider frankly pretty much all Zelda games more mature. I haven't played them all, but the pattern I've noticed is that the more recent games feel easier (though the open world makes them more time consuming). The bigger puzzle dungeons of older games could get quite difficult sometimes. Easy to get lost and confused. The 2D games often were extra cryptic and combat was more punishing.
As a kid, I bought oracle of ages as my first ever Zelda game and couldn't figure out where to go after the first dungeon, so had to sell it. As an adult, I beat it and the seasons equivalent just to see what I missed out on. I had to use a lot of save states and recall some bizarre minigame that was just horrible, horrible, horrible (90% of my save states would have been that one minigame). I had to Google multiple times where to go. I dunno how kids could do it. Sometimes I wondered if it was all a ploy to make kids call that pay number for video game tips that predated the internet answering all these questions. Also, I seriously question why I even put myself through that. It wasn't that fun.
That's the best. A lot of sequels are 80% the same controls and mechanics and sometimes I just need a reminder of that.
Though some games could really use some form of really brief tutorial that just reminds me in a forgiving setting how to play, but doesn't assume I need a lengthy and agonizingly slow tutorial. Civilization games don't have that problem, but a lot of action games do. I'll go back to the game cause a DLC is out and I can only remember bits and pieces of the controls and combat is way unforgiving cause it's supposed to be end game DLC.
Knowing how to do what you did is vital for using a search engine effectively. It's not possible for a search engine to know what you want when a word has multiple meanings (well, not yet, anyway). It could have just as easily have been the other way around, where OP wanted to search for a niche band but all they could find is astronomy things.
Adding context like "band", "astronomy", etc is important if you're googling anything non trivial. Sometimes you even need to identify different words to search. Eg, there's a programming language called Go. But "go" is such a generic word that it's hard to search for. Searching for "golang" tends to help a lot.
