PokemonNoGo··on The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
Intent isn't some magic way to claim innocence. Here negligence is very much at play. Were OpenAI negligent when they made the NYT articles available like this?
PokemonNoGo··on French authorities label Vitamin D as endocrine disruptor
Very interesting. Is this a global thing or national?
PokemonNoGo··on Governments turn to Open Source for sovereignty

PokemonNoGo··on Ask HN: Should websites on desktop have a default font larger than 16px/1rem?
Noooo I was honestly excited for a portable external 5k screen or something!
PokemonNoGo··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
But that was always available with ChatGPT? GPTs is just some new interface/market-ish to them no?

What's the 5k 17"? Any good?

Never heard of Poe I had to look it up.

> Poe lets you ask questions, get instant answers, and have back-and-forth conversations with Al. Gives access to GPT-4, gpt-3.5-turbo, Claude from Anthropic, and a variety of other bots.

I'm not sure I would call Poe a rip-off at all? Sounds bundled chatgpt product.

This sounds interesting but I'm not sure I understand. The responses ChatGPT gives or the responds to his tweet?
PokemonNoGo··on Vela incident (1979)
Further down the rabbit hole. "Bäng" is slang in Swedish of being high on cannabis. I had to look up where it came from and:

>From Tavringer Romani beng, bäng (“devil, satan”), from Romani beng (“devil”). Related to Sanskrit व्यङ्ग (vyaṅga, “speckled, deformed”).

Bängometer totally conveys the same thing in Swedish and most would understand the meaning.

PokemonNoGo··on Munich court tells Netflix to stop using H.265 video coding to stream UHD
This isn't the German government trying to regulate technical standards of an industry. This is a German court upholding a patent. Which you can of course argue all you want around but I failed to see the relevancy of your comment here.
PokemonNoGo··on Gnome Receives €1M from German Government
I'm not sure preference is behind a grant like this I think many other factors come into the decision. But why would they prefer one over the other? Sorry didn't get your comment at all.
PokemonNoGo··on Memories from old LAN parties
> The cool kids had a Barton Athlon XP 2500+ and a Radeon 9600. The rich kids had a 9800

Oh man. I had the 9800XT with aftermarket Zalman cooling. I didn't know what attention was before I went to a lan with that build. Got called the coolest things and the worst things

PokemonNoGo··on Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering
Probably because with their current scheme they liscens the material for other markets and thus would be in violation of these kind of deals? As well as their co-funding/producing of foreign material. The question I would as as a liscense payer is what they earn through this.

Not saying it's not possible but why it is quite the hard thing to get out of, and not spend liscens money while doing so, makes sense. I would guess someone has made these calculations once or twice too.

Pretty sure it's not that they "just don't" though.

PokemonNoGo··on GirlfriendGPT – OSS AI Companion
If they knew they were talking to a bot why did they do it? Did they say?

Thats your reason for not having an AI girlfriend?
PokemonNoGo··on Microsoft execs on Apple's music store (2003)
Honest question. Does this even exist today? I dont know.
PokemonNoGo··on GPT-4
Made my first million this year myself actually and I probably have many people to credit that I forgot to credit. I can start with Pythagoras, Galileo [insert everyone between], Kernighan, Ritchie. Also the guy who invented pencilin. I'm honestly not sure how these angles arise. Knowledge wants to be free. We are here today because of this fact.

When it comes to spam culture sure. But will we ever be there? "AI art" isn't impressive and will never be. It is impressive in the academic sense. Nothing more.

PokemonNoGo··on GPT-4
Isaac Newton has sadly passed.
PokemonNoGo··on Dissecting a Dummy Promo MiniDisc
Sony did make MD data readers/writers very late in the age of MD. I have one in a drawer somewhere. (Because it looked cool like in the matrix.)
PokemonNoGo··on Sega Saturn CD – Cracked after 20 years (2016) [video]
Even though emulators were a thing and we had seen copying devices for the most obscure consoles come out of China bleem was something else. Such a mad idea and they actually made a business case out of it.
PokemonNoGo··on Is old music killing new music?
Yeah, whenever I got to my countries "Top streaming" list on Spotify I have no idea who any of the artists are, I did see that new Elton John rework in there but that was the only "old music" in there. Maybe they, the bands and artists, creating the new music aren't paid and doesn't bring in money like their old counter parts and well end up being less important for the music industry as a whole?
PokemonNoGo··on Ask HN: Am I the only “unlucky” software engineer?
I had an interviewer use a test they printed from the internet. I had done that test before and knew all the answers. Came off as a full blown genius! Declined the position though, they didn't offer a genius salary.
PokemonNoGo··on The curious tale of a Nintendo UK Hotliner during the console war era
I think there is some youtuber that, recently?, played through every official NES game...

PokemonNoGo··on Blërg, a microblogging platform
Interesting. I pet peeve of mine is the usage of the diaeresis marks for stylization though.
PokemonNoGo··on Google Chrome is preparing a widget with shopping ads on the new tab page?
I really really enjoy https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/earth-view-from-go... by Google to show a new view of earth in the new tab. Sometimes my mind wonders but it's very enjoyable.
PokemonNoGo··on Ask HN: How are you holding up?
I kinda detoxed on coffe because my activity level went down and I didn't even notice it. Just realised I didn't drink coffee at home anymore...
PokemonNoGo··on Ask HN: How are you holding up?
I hear you. I echo your experience to the letter. It got to me so I had 6 weeks of sick leave. On antidepressants for the second time in my life. Never felt so alone. Working from the office these days because I can't imagine sitting home alone again. Went on a weird tinder bender and knocked out 20 dataes over 7 weeks only to be social...
PokemonNoGo··on IRC Logger with fluid web interface, search function, and live streaming (2019)
Sorry I just kinda found this funny since it's basically becomes an IRC client that you can't chat in.

PokemonNoGo··on Myanmar Prepares to Migrate from Zawgyi to Unicode
