Isn't citing encyclopedias shunned in academia in the first place? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should be treated as such. I understand that access to primary sources can be difficult at times, but in that case, wouldn't an argument based on a citation from an encyclopedia have a shaky foundation?

Fun trivia: the greeting only started to become a thing during the Meiji era as part of moral and ethics education. It may be argued that it has its roots in Buddhist teachings, but there's a theory that the drive to make it a common household practice may have come from the envoys who came back from western countries and saw the Christian prayer and thought it was a good thing to imitate. It's quite a stretch, but personally I find it quite interesting given that it was an era where Westernization was the craze.

Isn't Germany an exception to that?

The majority of anime, at least the Japanese ones, do resemble each other a lot at times, but the AI anime style resembles none of them. It has this distinct style that makes it recognizable as AI art. It is more similar to the style used in illustrations, like the ones you see in many gacha games. And the same style is used even for AI generated comics and illustrations. I think that was the grandparent poster was trying to say when writing "consistent in every medium".

That said, AI is pretty good for creating goofy stuff that otherwise won't sell to the mainstream audiences. My recent favourite AI anime is Chemical Cooker Ryo.

The last time I heard HR being completely let go was with a fintech company Bolt. Then again, that company was midsized, around 200-500 people or so. For larger companies, it's going to be difficult to even realize that HR is redundant in the first place.

I think that's because it's easier to package a DOSbox program than a Win16 program (it had Win32 edition, but supposedly the installer itself was Win16). According to pcgamingwiki, there's a patch to convert the GOG DOS edition to the Win32 edition.

I have a very vague memory of being able to name streets, so this might be that.

I've never seen a CAS that gives two answers for sqrt. Mathematica doesn't, sympy doesn't, and IIRC Maxima also doesn't.

It'd be great if IDEs can store a stack of functions currently being explored similar to what you get when debugging. Not breadcrumbs, but plain stack. Bonus points if you can store multiple stacks, and give them names according to the context.

We have OnlyOffice as an alternative today. Personally I find the UI quite pleasing. But lately I haven't had any need to use office suite at home so I don't really use it so I have yet to find anything to complain (meanwhile, LibreOffice was horrible, while Office 365 was bearable until you stuff too many things in the equation editor).

Does seamonkey still work on modern internet? Last time I tried it to open Notion, nothing was displayed. Works great on old world stuff though.

From my understanding, the code is MIT, but the model isn't? What consitutes a "Software" anyway? Aren't resources like images, sounds and the likes exempt from it (hence, covered by usual copyright unless separately licensed)? If so, in the same vein, an ML model is not part of "Software". By the way, the same prohibition is repeated on the huggingface model card.

Now I know that grouping J with APL is a mistake.

That's one thing, the other is you find out you were optimizing for the wrong thing, and now it takes more effort and time to reoptimize for the right thing.

Check against FLT_EPSILON. Oh boy.

The reason is floating point precision errors, sure, but that check is not going to solve the problems.

Took a difference of two numbers with large exponents, where the result should be algebraically zero but isn't quite numerically? Then this check fails to catch it. Took another difference of two numbers with very small exponents, where the result is not actually algebraically zero? This check says it's zero.
