Apparently one of the most common uses of LLMs in is copy editing: cleaning up your on points of spelling, grammar and style. This is wildly unattractive to me. I love writing. My personal style, my personal voice, are extremely high priorities to me. It annoys me no end when a journal editor replaces one of my unconventional style choices with something bland. If an editor ran a paper of mine through an I would scream bloody murder.

To be fair, here in Japan I run into quite a lot of academics who can just barely read English papers in their field. Writing their own is simply beyond them.

Big name faculty and wealthy institutes often have a translation or editing desk that will help you. But many grad students and postdocs, especially at budget constrained places, have no recourse.

For all their faults, LLMs do produce better copy than google translate, or asking your sisters friend's foreign boyfriend.

So, is there a patterned fabric you can use to make a shirt that is anti-optimized for modern video stream compression, such that your meetings totally bog down for all participants because everyone’s client-side code is working so hard to encode/decode the wildly demanding images of your shirt every time you shift slightly in your seat?

They're doing face tracking. I wouldn't be surprised if they prioritize people's faces and the shirt just gets really blurry or artifacty while your face stays clear and sharp.

This is a remarkable graph.

You might have heard that "EV sales are slumping", "people are starting to avoid EVs", etc.

That's not what's happening.

What's happening is "Tesla is cratering so hard that it's skewing the aggregate market data."

L2 charging is all you need at home. You have plenty of time to charge while parked. And it's better for the battery. Save fast charging for road trips.

    Vi har en liknande Toshiba som funkar bra. Innan den hade vi en Sharp som, igen, gjorde allt den ska utan problem.

    När jag är själv sätter jag ofta riset på timer på morgonen så har jag färskt kokat ris till middagen på kvällen.

    Enda jag inte är överens med honom är att det är värt att see henne live. Vi såg konserten i Tokyo och det var absolut värt det.

    En live föreställning som är välgjord och ärligt menat är alltid värd att se, nästan oavsett innehållet. En inspelning är inte samma sak.

    Interesting thought after watching the latest Philosophy Tube:

    Are free software purists living with a phantasm?

    You know, the types that yell at people who get paid to work on open source.. because they're getting paid to produce something that's given away for free.

    (I don't know the answer to this)

    The same people that tell you you can make money by selling services around the software, then get angry at Canonical for doing exactly that.

    Not a large group but an embarrassingly loud one.

    One of the most confusing issues in Leftie political debate is Kenta's social class. In the orthodox Marxian view it's simple: maybe Kenta is petit bourgeois, but he's certainly an employer, and that's it: upper class. In the sociological view, it's equally simple: Kenta is a skilled manual labourer with a few employees and probably no university degree: working class. Then there's the American usage, where as the owner of a small construction business, Kenta is middle class.

    What does Kenta think he is? Does that factor in to other definitions?
