Weirdly enough, Alt+Spacebar, then clicking close only closes the window (minimizing to the tray), but just hitting Alt+F4 kills the process.

How does reducing emissions not reduce (future) warming? It doesn't revert warming, but that's not being stated here afaict.

They might just truncate the password during login as well. I was able to login to my online banking using only the first five digits of my password not more than 3 years ago.. They fixed it in the meantime but I'm still worried.

If all my friends jumped off a bridge they must've had a really good reason to, so yes I might as well.

Same logic applies here. Just maybe, if everyone does it, we should consider it too.

At the end of the article it says:

"SQLite is much faster than direct writes to disk on Windows when anti-virus protection is turned on. Since anti-virus software is and should be on by default in Windows, that means that SQLite is generally much faster than direct disk writes on Windows. "

I find it hard to believe that all stores combined patch a single gigabyte in a week, let alone every store patching multiple gigabytes. The size of the stores and their patches are negligible compared to installing any modern game.

In case you didnt know, aidungeon.io uses GPT-3 in their "Dragon" model. It's only available for pro accounts though.

I think this might be the way to go forward regarding language models in games: Offer them through cloud computing for GaaS.

Not 100% positive on this, but I believe the admin panel allowed to remove 2FA as well.

I realize there's no data on this, but do these localized experiments translate into actual UBI at all? I only skimmed the article but it seems to me that giving 125 people 500$/Month, which come from a donation to research UBI, has basically no relation to actual UBI.

They found that giving those 125 people an unconditional monthly allowance helps them survive and has a positive effect on their life.

They did not seem to research at all how to actually fund it, what kind of effect a higher tax to fund it would have, or what would happen to the government employees currently working in social welfare if they'd lose their job.

That's the way induction works. Assume the statement is true for n Deduce that it then must be true for n+1 Prove it for n=1 Now it's proven for every n
