Residential wind for electricity generation is not really recommendable afaik, but it could be viable for some amount of heat generation, potentially: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2019/02/heat-your-house-with-a-mechanical-windmill/

Oh shit, my bad. Yeah, hard agree there

Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

How is Daniel Ek a nazi? That’s a wild take if I’ve ever heard one.

I use Rectangle whenever I need to do some tiling go decent effect.

I’d be impressed with any model that succeeds with that, but assuming one does, the complete works of Shakespeare are not copyright protected - they have fallen into the public domain since a very long time ago.

For any works still under copyright protection, it would probably be a case of a trial to determine whether a certain work is transformative enough to be considered fair use. I’d imagine that this would not clear that bar.

I don’t think anyone would consider complete verbatim recitement of the material to be anything but a copyright violation, being the exact same thing that you produce.

Fair use requires the derivative work to be transformative, and no transformation occurs when you verbatim recite something.

It’s extremely frustrating to read this comment thread because it’s obvious that so many of you didn’t actually read the article, or even half-skim the article, or even attempted to even comprehend the title of the article for more than a second.

For shame.

…no?

That’s exactly what the ruling prohibits - it’s fair use to train AI models on any copies of books that you legally acquired, but never when those books were illegally acquired, as was the case with the books that Anthropic used in their training here.

This satirical torrent client would be violating the laws just as much as one without any slow training built in.

Are you really going to spend money developing and maintaining a native app?

If your functionality warrants being installed on a mobile device, then you are expected to deliver a certain level of quality for being on that device.

I have zero patience for cheapskate business douchebags who want to have their cake and eat it too, and I will not speak in their defence, not ever.

I agree that their browser is broadly speaking pretty bad, but I also happen to think that native apps are generally preferable on account of web tech being a large pile of flaming garbage.

Broken clocks and all I guess

I don’t think I’d ever choose Safari over Firefox, to be honest.

Why use Safari on macOS? There are so many alternatives, and basically all of them are better.

The M-series MacBook Pros are very good machines, even though they cost a lot of money. The performance/price ratio was a lot worse for the Intel-macs, but that has shifted. I would probably get one of those if I were you - you’re likely not going to have to switch computers as often that way and have a more competent machine for a longer time that way.

This was the method people used to get Balatro running on mobile before. Extract the Lua code and then package it using LÖVE for Android/iOS

There are like five engineers still on staff in that place, it’s honestly surprising that they’ve been able to keep the lights on for this long.

Anyway, let the ship sink and move on

ffmpeg is wild as far as tools go

It’s gotten significantly worse in basically every regard here in Sweden with regards to immigration, unfortunately.

It’s actually worse than lossless being discernable or not on bluetooth - people cannot reliably tell between high-quality compressed audio and lossless audio generally. This has been studied to oblivion - the jury is out, there’s no more discussion to be had on the subject.

Fuck being efficient all the time. That’s such a fucking capitalist mindset.

Are you under the impression that a socialist or communist society would not be in the pursuit of efficiency? Think again. They would merely be making sure the efficiency would not come at the cost of the workers, and put the increased efficiency to use in service of the workers (fewer hours etc).

I don’t know if ‘simply’ is the word I’d use here, but there’s clearly been some unforced errors on Google’s part with regards to search
