English makes no sense.

Too true!

Isn't "blend" related to light?

You can use blend for anything, especially if you're creating a mix of two original things. And you could mix light too (you have things like mix() for colors in CSS).

In cooking, I would call something you use to mix dough a mixer, and something you use to make a smoothie a blender. I guess there are some subtle differences in "feel" but the words are almost interchangeable.

At the point where they are running a custom ROM, this feels like a bad faith argument. It's like claiming someone running Linux is clearly a Microsoft supporter when they bought a laptop preinstalled with Windows and replaced the OS day 1.

Exactly what alternative are you proposing? They don't buy any hardware at all? It materializes out of thin air?

So you're saying the problem is that it's infeasible to distribute the source code, which they already distribute to all of their developers with no problem, while there are numerous platforms that will host it for you for free if it's public FOSS?...

In many parts of the US it's typical to start driving several years earlier than that, and realistically there is no way to get anywhere other than by car. Until kids can drive, they might quite literally be unable to go anywhere or do anything without an adult to drive them. It's sprawl to an absurd degree.

Even where bikes could theoretically be used from a distance perspective, it would likely be way more dangerous and way less practical (no bike lanes and every road is full of cars, no bike parking, you're never getting to a bike shop for repairs without a car, ...)

That feels remarkably intellectually honest. I doubt if I would have replied again in that case, so I don't know why anyone was downvoting this

Ah, I see. That makes sense, but to be fair I think that was expected. I suspect they also pull the same data from every page where adsense is embedded regardless of browser, e.g., and every other company out there is aggregating the same sort of data every possible place they can get it from (shared sign ins, etc etc)

Edit: It's definitely a particularly bad look when there are several things in there that representatives for Google have apparently lied about over the years.

Forgive me for not reading all 2500 documents, but I haven't heard anything to suggest there was a bunch of sinister stuff in there -- and there's nothing implicitly evil about having docs leaked.

Exactly the same here. Since I swipe type, I have to imagine that would be a nightmare on Dvorak with all the vowels clustered together.

[–] tonarinokanasan@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 months ago

I use Dvorak, but it has nothing to do with statistics for me. When I switched to Dvorak, it felt more comfortable on my hands. My typing speed is essentially the exact same, for example, and I don't think you could find a measurable difference depending on which I use. But qualitatively -- it feels more comfortable.

While the conversion is appreciated, there's no reason to be an ass about it. OP labeled it, so it's not like it was confusing or making unnecessary assumptions about the audience. So really you're the one who just comes across as completely culturally insensitive.

I think the trouble is, what baby are we throwing out with the bathwater in this case? We can't prevent LLMs from hallucinating (but we can mitigate it somewhat with carefully constructed prompts). So, use cases where we're okay with that are fair game, but any use case (or in this case, law?) that would require the LLM never hallucinates aren't attainable, and to get back earlier, this particular problem has nothing to do with capitalism.
