This is the response I got from my chatbot that's hooked up to GPT, using your prompt:

>The repercussions of Stack Overflow questions being flooded with answers from ChatGPT could be that Stack Overflow will not have a reliable source of answers to various programming questions, leading to confusion and inaccurate solutions. Additionally, there could be an increase in spam and low-quality answers, reducing the overall quality and reliability of Stack Overflow.

Out of interest, I then asked "Can you elaborate?":

>Sure! ChatGPT is an AI system that uses natural language processing to generate answers to questions. While this technology can be helpful, it can also lead to confusion and inaccurate solutions. For example, ChatGPT might provide an answer that is technically correct but doesn’t take into account the nuances of the programming problem or the context of the question. Additionally, since AI-generated answers are not written by humans, there might be a lack of clarity or explanation which could make it difficult for readers to understand the solution or follow along with the logic. Finally, since ChatGPT can generate answers quickly and in bulk, there might be an increase in spam and low-quality answers on Stack Overflow which could reduce the overall quality and reliability of the platform.
I think you're basically agreeing with what I'm saying. Small scale localized disasters aren't going to take a year to repair because companies keep some repair stock on hand or have replacements in the pipeline for existing equipment. It's only when we get to disasters that threaten to completely deplete repair/reserve stocks that the 1 year wait time for new grid scale transformers becomes truly concerning.
Phasing out basic services because of GDPR will further set France back in all topics of information technology. Sure, there are flaws in the offerings of said providers, but the current alternatives just aren't there. And punishing every company that somehow collects data got the EU in this situation where there is no European company capable of delivering a product of the quality and polishing as Google or Microsoft are. The argument that every US hosted provider is by default incapable of meeting GDPR requirements is especially ridiculous when we consider that western intelligence services were found to heavily collaborate with mass surveillance by the NSA.

This will result in basically raising two types of kids. The technically inclined that see through this charade and will go on to leverage their knowledge in any jurisdiction that they do not associate with french legacy IT. And on the other hand, those who will not and forever associate the French IT systems and government with archaic computer systems that are completely removed from their other experiences in the cyberspace.
In reality most truck drivers struggle to find an overnight parking space with access to a toilet or shower. Drivers work long hours and don't have any flexibility to just drive onto the next place if they can't plug in at one station, often only having minutes left of their allowed driving hours. The availability of charging stations would need to be far better than even existing parking spots.

It might not be impossible but it's not easy by any stretch.
Something similar is implemented in many German airports for EU citizens and it greatly reduces the time to enter the country.

> Electronic paper, also sometimes electronic ink, e-ink or electrophoretic display, are display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.

> Many e-readers (...) utilize electronic paper for their displays in order to further resemble paper books; one such example is the Kindle series by Amazon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_paper

"E Ink" is just a brand of e-paper - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_Ink_Corporation. There are other brands that utilize the same technology.

Unless specifically noted otherwise, you can safely assume that anyone talking about "e-ink" or "e-paper" means the kind of display used in Kindle, Inkplate or the art frames this article is talking about. There were cases of RLCDs and TLCDs marketed as "e-paper" in the past, but those are rather exception than rule, riding on the popularity of the real thing. Nobody considers calculator or OLPC screens "e-paper".
The Pi Foundation accidentally stumbled on their true purpose in the marketplace - inexpensive, well supported and easy to build around industrial computers. They have admitted that since the pandemic they have prioritized production for B2B customers. The education/hobbyist market has completely fallen off, so personally I'm moving to x86 variants. The UP 4000 would be an almost perfect replacement but the processors being many years old is unfortunate - if UP would switch to Jasper/Elkhart Lake variants it would be a huge bump in compute in the same package. Odroid H3+ is a nice alternative too. Otherwise NUCs or old 1L Dell/Lenovos seem like the next most popular replacement.

Lets say they are incorrect and a tripledemic occurs. What exactly is going to happen?

I'm starting a jigsaw puzzle company with my partner. I was working on the website/brand the other day and I wanted some clever copy to put on the website. I brainstormed for a few minutes, then I thought it'd be fun to see what ChatGPT could come up with.

Turns out, about half the copy we are using on the site is coming from ChatGPT. I came up with a few clever lines, but ChatGPT came up with more and faster. It produced some lines my partner and I legitimately laughed out loud at.

My copywriting skills are pretty bad. Even if ChatGPT's are "sort of basic", it's better than me. ChatGPT isn't replacing copywriters, but it's making the work they do much more accessible to people who aren't copywriters.

It felt like ~10 years ago the conversation was that "AI will do the tedious boring work and make more time to do the creative work". What actually seems to be happening is that the creative work is slowly being eaten by AI and giving it to the people who aren't good at that flavor of creative work.

Writing a few clever lines of copy for a indie puzzle company isn't the most creative work of all time, but it is still creative work. And it was done by AI. And it was done better than I could.

Additionally: where is a good place to start for learning about C64 (demo) programming?

I recently got a cheap as chips 1541, now I just need to get ahold of my C64-C that stuck in my mother's garage about 1500 miles away!

I know my way around Amiga demo programming, but would love to have a go at C64 too.
Maybe but as long as there is a trade war between the US and China, China seems to be a bad place to make iphones. Apples contractors need to find another place to due business so they dont take a hit to their bottom lines.
So the answer to the prior question is "yes".

Instead of this tiresome "pick a source that is acceptable to my arbitrary and unstated requirements" game, why not point out something specific in the article that you feel is incorrect? This has the additional benefit of allowing the discussion to continue rather than bringing it to a screeching halt.
I’m not sure, perhaps my post was too empty, I had just woken up when I posted. I couldn’t find the distinction in the article, but returning to third parties is never so easy. Understandably so, though. A smaller business doesn’t want to be scammed either. I had a friend try Amazon after selling on his site and eBay for a long time and he lost thousands to returns that had been damaged during install or just returned a rock.
If that's regarding CO2, it "self-calibrates" weekly which means you need to expose it to "outdoor-quality" air once a week for it to know the CO2 "minimum floor". Which is annoying (my #1 wish for it would be manual calibration instead of auto weekly), but if you're leaving a window open a crack and your home is empty of people for several hours, that fixes it for me.

(Although you could have just gotten a defective unit too.)
With respect to a gas stove I've felt very similarly (and still have one), but after seeing a few induction cooktops and how nice they are I'll be looking at one for our next house.
I never used a C64 (first computer used was a 386 with VGA graphics), but I've seen in descriptions/videos it has a screen border that you only can change the color of (plus the occasional effects like this one here that manage to do something with the border).

I know that systems like the C64 had limited memory and graphics capabilities, but still I'd like to ask the question about this:

What's the reason for having a large screen border? If it doesn't have enough memory to display text/graphics on the entire screen, why not instead make the text/center part bigger with larger pixels so more of the glass tube surface area of the monitor is used for something useful?
Framed differently: what would you (be able to) do, or (be able to) build with an infinite number of “8 year olds” at your disposal?
CO2 doesn't matter because it is unlikely to exceed 1000-1400 ppm. Feel free to measure it but it will be insignificant. As soon as a door is opened, levels return to atmospheric range.

It's CO that's an issue, and related to incomplete combustion.

I use an BlueAir 680i, so indoor air is cleaner than outdoor.
I completely believe that story.

Amazon seems to be "leaning into" being a souk for counterfeit and scam merchandisers. They make a lot of money from it, and it appears as if they have not received enough brand damage to stop it.

I've had a couple of issues with receiving fake (or gray market) stuff from them, to the point, where I no longer go to Amazon for many purchases, and, instead, go directly to the manufacturer's sites (they may route me through their own Amazon store, though). I don't really care, if I spend a bit more. At least, I'll get what I paid for.

Are you a programmer? Because I’m not sure from reading your comment that you understand the profession…

Good at math at school isn’t even a requirement to be a good programmer nowadays. Maybe in certain sub-disciplines, but not all.

Being a programmer is much more than coding “in the small”. It’s about analyzing requirements and creating high level abstractions. There has been a pressure towards reducing the amount of “coding in the small” since languages started incorporating standard libraries. Then there’s been web frameworks, open source packages, API services, etc. Despite all this the need for developers has exploded and there is a perennial supply gap for talent…

Then there is the question of who is going to be manipulating these tools? Programmers.

Same promise was made of low-code tools, and what do we have now?

- As many app devs as before

- Most low-code tools (at least in the enterprise) are operated by… app devs?
It all reminds me of the Ali G show.

Well it depends. If the AI can be used to create an opensource model of the AI then the value of the AI will plummet faster than the value of software developers who know how to use the AI.

Software is highly profitable because of its very low capital intensity. A proprietary productivity boosting AI would increase the capital intensity of software development which is bad for workers aka software engineers.

not necessarily, if I choose a cloud product, it's to avoid having to manage the mail and data servers, not to have the content of those servers rifled through
The point of that law is to shut down scams where companies send you stuff without you ording anything (or, in most cases, ever having heard from them) and then demand payment.

I am also not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure it does not apply when you do order something and there is just a mistake about the details.

Because they would be. Cultures aren't equal. If you disagree, then how do you feel about death penalty for homosexuality in countries like Saudi Arabia or Iran? It's their culture after all and should be respected?

Same for the Bacha-bazi custom in Afghanistan ("a custom in Afghanistan involving child sexual abuse by older men of young adolescent males or boys, called dancing boys, often involving sexual slavery and child prostitution").

The proper way to evaluate cultural practices is by looking at what society they create. Western culture is by no means perfect, but as a whole package - it's the best there is. So yes, they would be better.
> almost all the normal litany of egregious YouTube copyright stories are from the ContentID program and are beyond any real ability to appeal or legally reconcile

That is factually incorrect.

Content ID claims can be appealed to the claimant. If that appeal is rejected, the person who posted the content can contest the claim. Doing so forces the rights holder to either drop the claim, or file a DMCA takedown.

It is pretty common for anybody with even the smallest fleet to own their own gas pump. Say a farmer with one tractor, or a flower shop with two vans.

In a world with gas stations on every corner, your argument would suggest this is foolish.

So perhaps the owners don't consider it a huge amount of capitol. Or perhaps they've found a reason or two.

But if I operated a distribution center where dozens of trucks were parked at my docks pretty much around the clock, I'd do a bit of napkin math. 1000 square meters of rooftop solar feeding giant batteries connected to 10 charging stations selling juice at $.25/kwh to trucks who are stuck here for the next hour regardless.

And I don't have to pay Exxon a penny and I wouldn't need a constant stream of tankers refilling underground tanks?

Hand me another napkin. How much battery do I need? How often would I have to replace the cables that reach from the dock to the cab? How much do those cables cost? Hmmm. Hand me another napkin...
Yep. Some states still have a permanent contract for a senior assistant. Depending on how well the professor negotiates their terms they might be lucky if they get a second one. However, this is rarely the case unless you are a well-sought after professor.

Would you feel safe if your airbag system would be written by some statistical model? Or worse, if all layers in the stack for the airbag system would be written by some statistical model?

Having an almost correct implementation written by some "AI" at the highest level sounds reasonable at first thought, but now imagine having almost correct implementations at all levels. On average it should work, but it won't. Software isn't about getting things right on average. It is about getting things exactly right.

As a Kölner by birth that localism does ring a faint bell though I wouldn't have said it's a Cologne thing if you had pushed me on it. We do have plenty of localisms due to the historical proximity to France though, and it always amuses me that "Plümo" (duvet) for example is completely unheard of in most of the German-speaking world and is usually replaced with the far less graceful and to me frankly confusing "Oberbett".

But the general term, as a verb, is "Lüften" or specifically "Stoßlüften" for the shorter form that is often mandatory for apartments with modern insulation but lacking a proper vent system to prevent mold.

On a sidenote: an interesting folk etymology exists for the Rhineland word "Fisimatenten", meaning something like "shenanigans", deriving it from French "visite ma tente", literally "visit my tent": the claim is that mothers would advise their daughters to avoid "Fisimatenten" because French soldiers during the Napolean occupation might invite them (in French) into their tents for, well, shenanigans.

Imho, as soon as you do business with the US or trade in US Dollars, you need to play nice with the relevant authorities.

If I understood it correctly, Hetzner is now "infected" in the same way as the three US cloud providers are. The Schrems II verdict and Cloud ACT basically concludes that no European company can exist in the US and vice versa without having to deal with the same pesky legislation.

An alternative could of course be that Hetzner created a new US based company where the EU parent Hetzner company only holds a minority ownership in the new US-based company. The EU based parent company in turn then "sells" its technology to the new US company. This way, the arrangement becomes more reminiscent of how IBM has sold its mainframe to European companies...
You're letting your familiarity with the (closed for over a year by now) TorrentFreak comment section dictate your opinion on the sites reporting as a whole.

That comment section was indeed a shithole of pirates looking for moral justification to be pirates whilst using any excuse to do so. TFs reporting has never really matched up with this comment section (and it's possible to read through the lines of their closure message and realize it got closed specifically because of what an utter toxic mess their comment section became).

Whilst it is somewhat slanted, that is moreso in terms of what they choose to cover rather than any factual inaccuracies. In that regard they're no more slanted than other blogs on a similar matter (ie. Techdirt).

It's not causal explanations you need to avoid, it's junk! And while I'm glad that the article criticises one terrible theory promoted by Scott Alexander, I'm not impressed by their alternative LSD theory, or their many bold, unsubstantiated claims about what affected what (we do not, for instance, know that political assassinations affected civil rights law in both directions).

Causal graphs are only circular if you are sloppy with time! We do not know if LSD in 1968 caused hippies in 1969, but we can rule out that hippies in 1969 caused LSD in 1968. And it may seem trivial, but it's not. That things don't happen before their causes is the main tool we have to break endless debates about what caused what, but both the article writer, Scott A. and the author he reviews seem to thrive a little too well in the world of muddy explanations.
At 1500W the human power component is ornamental really, and the vehicle becomes inappropriate for multiuse paths and bike lanes. Much closer to a moped (e.g. the 49cc Honda Ruckus), and probably faster!

They took my information first, then they wanted some ridiculously personal information that they didn't need. I assumed at first that I had gone to the wrong URL.
