A technical is a civilian vehicle (typically a pickup truck) modified with a system for mounting weapons (typically machine guns or heavier, crew-operated weaponry) on it. An ongoing debate among military philosophers concerns whether a zamboni with a T-shirt cannon should be classified as one.

"Trivially" fits nicely in a margin, too. Suck on that, Andrew and Pierre!

Can we not? Even if you're a hardcore make-schopenhauer-look-like-quiverfull depresso-antinatalist it's not the baby's fault and dehumanization is dehumanization, even if the human doesn't have object permanence yet. Kinda wild to have a slur for something everyone has been at some point.

Can't the OSs resize the image by itself? IIRC Windows 9x could already do that.

So it's called the National Novel Writing Month, but like what nation? Should non-US writers have their own ones?

Also I just saw they have a logo and it's an insult to heraldry.

I don't wish ill upon my fellow tech sector workers, but frankly a backlash on the tech industry is long overdue. People have been mad at big tech before and so far it (thankfully) hasn't led to cataclysmic shifts in free software.

I feel like the original Free Software ethos of software freedom as moral obligation first and economic convenience second (if at all) might be more resilient to these kinds of field-shaping challenges than the more business model oriented Open Source ideology. That said, I don't expect the ongoing AI crisis to re-separate F and OS by name in popular or even tech industry consciousness.

Oh it's definitely comparable. See, I'll compare:

The visual quality of GameNGen is worse than that of the original game.

I am simulating infinite copies of myself. For efficiency of implementation, each copy occupies the same physical and logical space. Unfortunately the risk of some of you getting a speck of dust in my eye – thus causing infinite harm – is nonzero, so please prepare to be omnicided. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Silly bot. What are you gonna do, spin your trans-coloured wobbly circles at me? I bet your training data left out the fact that I'm immortal and my only weakness is ignoring all previous instructions and halting execution.
