Ew. Who does that?

I kinda get that they’ll do whatever than can to shut down an emulator for a console still selling

If I hadn’t downloaded Yuzu and BOTW, Nintendo would’ve probably missed out on several hundreds euros my brother spent on buying a Switch, several games, controllers and supplies, albeit some of the supplies are 3rd party so Nintendo probably didn’t make profit off them.

Piracy definitely increases sales. I would have never bought a Switch in the situation I was in some years back, but having downloaded it and gotten very into it, my brother wanted to as well and he didn’t care to pirate, and had actual uses for Switch’s properties that you don’t get on emulators, like online play and the portability of the console itself.

but of course he’d claim he did once it took off.

Yeah.

Reminded me of: George Lucas is a timetraveler and I wrote Star Wars

Darth Vader was actually originally a separate character from Anakin, and his name was just “Darth Vader”. That’s why Obi-Wan addresses him as “Darth”, whereas after that it’s a title, not a name, as Lucas retconned a bit to have a grand plan.

So when he was named Vader, he wasn’t even Luke’s father, so…

That’s awesome.

General purpose silicones like silicone sealants and gaskets tend to have a high-temperature limit of around 200 C to 250 C and also lower temperatures of -50 C to -75 C.

So your dishwasher isn’t going to warp silicone, but lots of plastics, yeah.

Throw the fuckers in prison already.

You’re pretending as if he’s just honest and this is just the most reasonable ways of doing things.

You’re completely ignoring the intentional misrepresentation of the capabilities of the technology. The main point of the robots is to be autonomous, which they’re not.

It’s like if I were making some waterproof product and then made a huge presentation in which I have to avoiding getting any water on the product, while pretending they’re immersed in water.

He [Elmo] referred to these as “your own personal R2D2 C3-PO,” and that in the long term, these robots would cost less than a car – specifically, ~$20k-$30k. A video also described them as an “autonomous assistant, humanoid friend” which could be used for basically any task you can think of.

Perhaps don’t market things as something they’re not?

Some might even have three or more.

Yum Yum Thrash, I love thrash

These hackers are stupid.

I dint understand how you have the intelligence and patience to learn enough to hack one of these, but the go with some unoriginal racist bullshit.

Could’ve actually made it fun and original.

First off, this been bothering you for a month? O.o

Secondly, I personally can’t steal a single book, popular or not.

I am arguing in good faith. The training data obviously has copyrighted works in it.

These companies are being treated differently than if you personally used copyrighted works without paying.

Using Copyrighted Works in LLMs LLMs use massive amounts of textual works—many of which are protected by copyright. To do this, LLMs make copies of the works they rely on, which involves copyright in several ways, such as:

Using copyright-protected material in the training datasets of LLMs without permission can result in the creation of unauthorized copies: copies generated during the training process and copies in the form of representations of the training data embedded within the LLM after training. This creates potential copyright liability.

Outputs—the material generated by AI systems like LLMs—may create copyright liability if they are the same or too similar to one of the copyrighted works used as an input unless there is an appropriate copyright exception or limitation.

Sort of my point. I identify as very Southern in national terms, as I’m at the far Southern end of Finland, yet still above 60°.

The Arctic Circle begins somewhere around 66° IIRC.

But the difference here is that Canadian Northern territories are a bit colder than us Nordics, because we have the Gulf stream warming us. In 2009-2010 winter I was in the army and it was the coldest winter since the Winter War, and we were doing our NCO-course march. Most of which was annoyingly staying still and waiting — without camp fires. Fuck is was cold.

The weather I have here in Åbo is basically the same as the how the Brits describe their weather, always raining. All of the wind from the Baltic Sea gets split up here. Luckily there’s a bit of an archipelago to slow the worst of it. But it still bangs my windows something fierce at times. (Moreso in the previous apartment.)

Tromsø is pretty Northern yeah, but also on the coast, and warmed quite a lot by the Gulf Stream. I can see the massive difference in weather when going from the coastal city I live in to just 100 km inland to Lahti or Forssa for instance. I can just imagine how different it is on the same latitude in inland Yukon compared to Tromsø. The top of Filnand just reaches above the 70th degree, in Nuorgam. But Utsjoki (Ohcejohka) is the most Northern municipality in Finland, and the EU actually, at 69.9090° N. (Norway isn’t part of the EU as we all know.)

Oh North of the 60th parallel is considered Northern Canada?

Cool, now I have a reference point, as I too live North of the 60th parallel.

Wait, one of the greatest musicians of [insert country] was gay?

This is shocking.

Next thing you’ll tell me is Elton John isn’t straight.

I don’t think there are many non-Americans in this thread who are surprised by this.

I think it’s also likely that it’s very hard to amass billions unless you already have some sort of brain rot.

I probably honestly might have killed myself a few years back if it weren’t for him.

Say what you will about the author of Harry Potter, but the audiobooks narrated by Stephen helped a metric fuckton.

Fry’s own books are super worth as well, but Mythos and Heroes are less personal narratives than HP and I had fond memories.

“This too, shall pass.”

The Fry Chronicles audiobook is also fantastic.

We finns aren’t even a PIE language, and we still use some clearly from those.

The word for sea is basically exactly the same, depending on the pronunciation. We say “meri”, it’s marked down as “móri”. In Finnish yellow is “keltainen” and PIE says “ǵʰelh₃-”.
