Language is something you can teach, but it isn’t really something that’s easily controlled. The term “OS” already means something like ‘a space that lets you interact with and manage apps and services on a personal computing device’ for most people. This is the case because of how its used with Apple, Google, Windows, Steam, Meta, etc…

So the literal operating systems of other kinds of equipment, such as a vending machine, might eventually end up with its own moniker if the distinction becomes important enough to matter.

My goodness! How did you upscale that image so beautifully??

The taxes are really high, so Nordic folk tend to base their online businesses in countries with lax tax laws then live off the proceeds in their home countries where the benefits are great.

I don’t like how the specific IP address is simply no longer listed.

Either OP edited their post or you should go back and read it again. They just said the wait might be longer. They didn’t say valve said anything.

There’s no reaching. A car is a vehicle, but not all vehicles are cars. When someone says 2026, it is a year. There is zero implication of one half or the other. I think the omission of indicating the first half could be a slip up, but is worth noting. It could be interpreted as a suggestion.

I bring up promise because people tend to freak out when things get delayed, as if it were a promise. I mean to imply that we should expect a delay, and be pleasantly surprised if it launches any earlier.

Does this make sense?

OP opined that the wait might be longer, which isn’t false.

Furthermore, “We hope to ship in 2026, but…” specifically references 2026, and not the first half, which as I pointed out had only been referenced as their goal.

The first half of this year is still 2026, sure, but 2026 isn’t just the first half of this year. 2026 by itself is a whole year.

Do you see what this has to do with the conversation?

He probably doesn’t want to disclose that CSAM was included.

Just to be fair, “Our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year has not changed” clearly states a goal and not a promise.

Honest question. As someone who has used and loved MacOS for many years, what would be the best Linux distro for me?

Is this why I can’t buy a steam machine?

Found myself wrapped up in the Utawarerumono visual novels. The first one was originally an adult only game on PC, but the current version cut those scenes out. There’s still a number fan-servicey scenes, but if that doesn’t bug you the story itself gets quite compelling and emotional. Plus it’s a strategy RPG in combat scenes, which I really like. I came across Utawarerumono when looking for more games like Trails.

I’m going to buy a game if it’s good and I like it. “Woke” won’t make a bad game good or a good game bad.

The question is still valid, even if the meaning changes.

They never specified who’s security…

I sometimes approach this like I do with students. Using your example, I’d ask it to restate the source, then ask it to read the title of that source directly. If it’s correct, I might ask it to briefly summarize what the source article covers. Then I would ask it to restate what it told me about the source earlier, and to explain where the inconsistency lies. Usually by this time, the AI is accurately pointing out flaws in its prior logic. At that point I ask again if it is 100% sure it didn’t make a mistake, and it might actually concede to having been wrong. Then I tell it to remember how and why it was wrong to avoid similar errors in the future. I don’t know if it actually works, but it makes me feel better about it.

I’m more inclined to believe it’s gotten better at being convincing.

And you can tell clients that it’s just made up and not actual confidence, but they will insist that they need it anyways…

That doesn’t justify flat out making shit up to everyone else, though. If a client is told information is made up but they use it anyway, that’s on the client. Although I’d argue that an LLM shouldn’t be in the business of making shit up unless specifically instructed to do so by the client.

It annoys me that Chat GPT flat out lies to you when it doesn’t know the answer, and doesn’t have any system in place to admit it isn’t sure about something. It just makes it up and tells you like it’s fact.

I wouldn’t have subbed to Spotify on my own. I’m inherited into my wife’s family plan. For me the biggest benefit is just discovering new music. I used to have a big MP3 library, but after a couple computer upgrades, they’ve kind of disappeared over the years. Having Spotify there has been really convenient for just listening toto old stuff I’ve lost as well. This said, if my FiL cancels, I probably wouldn’t sub for myself anyway.

Why aren’t Tesla shareholders suing Elon, I wonder?
