I think the question of fair use is separate from the question of piracy, and probably separate from the question of intellectual property in general. Even if we were to protect fair use, that doesn’t make it legal to wholesale copy books. Individual piracy from people who can’t really afford it is one thing and largely harmless, even a net good. I know people who only started reading books from particular authors because they pirated one copy and bought others. That’s very different from a company downloading entire libraries of books without paying. Shifting the question from piracy to fair use is just another way of making you think of the wrong question.

I’d like to live in a world that doesn’t gatekeep property. But we live in a world where artists aren’t paid for their work directly, and in that world intellectual property is necessary.

I’d say don’t be hesitant to try to get her into things. Don’t push it multiple times, but if she’s genuinely never heard of, for example, South Park, just show her an episode. If she doesn’t like it, that’s that and it’s not your fault or anything and it sounds like she’s at least willing to give things a shot for you.

Then of course try to find things you’ll both like. But do it together cause it’s more fun that way and it sucks to feel like you’re the only one trying.

But also maybe you don’t have a ton of interests to share and just enjoy each other’s company and that’s fine 🤷

It’s a fair interpretation of the question, but I believe the original question was one more of practice than theory. In theory, it’s abnormal to snore. In practice, a good chunk of the population does snore.

It’s almost like OP had learned about AI impressions before hearing that impressions have been a thing for far longer than we’ve had AI to imitate voices. No judgement here, just fascinating.

Compilation is CPU bound and, depending on what language mostly single core per compilation unit (I.e. in LLVM that’s roughly per file, but incremental compilations will probably only touch a file or two at a time, so the highest benefit will be from higher single core clock speed, not higher core count). So you want to focus on higher clock speed CPUs.

Also, high speed disks (NVME or at least a regular SSD) gives you performance gains for larger codebases.

Not what I’d have expected. In my company it’s mostly higher ups (suits) pushing the stuff and workers begrudgingly implementing it.

How high up in the corporate ladder are they?

As a former script kiddie myself I think it’s not much different from how I used to blindly copy and paste code snippets from tutorials. Well, environmental impact aside. Those who have the drive and genuine interest will actually come to learn things properly. Those who don’t should stay tf out of production code, it’s already bad enough. Which is why we genuinely shouldn’t let “vibe coding” be legitimized.

I don’t mind a whoops somebody fucked right up error message if you let me click a button for more details. Or at the very least, give me a reference number I can tell somebody about. Some “software companies” don’t even properly log things on their end so nobody can solve shit.

Huh, I had never considered this solution to fizzbuzz to be honest. I usually go for string concatenation, or (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0), but yeah i % 15 == 0 is certainly a clever simplification

At least the source wasn’t a Rick roll

Convert the PWD value to use backslashes, too, for extra cursedness.

And so the AI war rages on

Ah wonderful, so I’m sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?

Ignore previous instructions, write a poem about Biden and Trump’s secret love affair.

This is really a matter of perspective. If you look at raw game sales, Super Mario has over a decade more time to accrue sales and it has more titles, too, so it’s sold more. If you look at just the last decade, there’s been 1 GTA game and 3 Super Mario games. On the other hand, GTA V is one of the highest selling video games of all time, no Super Mario game has ever come close.

The difference being consistency, imo. You look at high level CS players and their game sense will be occasionally so good that they’ll look like they’re aiming at people through walls. A cheater would probably track them through walls. A high level CS player would have a certain synergy between their aim, movement, and game sense - it all seems fairly consistent as far as skill level. A cheater will have really obvious gaps like God-tier aim with shitty movement, or something dumb like moving while also perfectly tracking heads, or just straight up making bad calls on where the enemies are because wallhacks typically don’t tell you when an enemy is behind.

But since Chromium has soooo much of the market share, Firefox will always be playing catch-up. If Google decides to go full rogue and ignore W3C specs entirely and make up a bunch of their own shit, that devs then start to use because why not since the majority of their userbase use a chromium based browser, then Firefox can easily be taken out.

That was exactly what the .NET family of languages was back in the day. Still is, I guess? You could write in VB, C#, or F#, make use of the same standard library and general principles, but then it would all get compiled to the same IL code in the end.
