Using the Political Compass is a bit of a strange way to conduct research. I do think it is important to identify biases of course, but at some point you have to look at the bigger picture and realise why the bias exists.

In order to swing ChatGPT more to the right (if you want to balance it at neutral in the end), you’d have to inject it with more racism, anti-science conspiracy and American Christian views - none of which are particularly pleasant.

Do we want a LLM that limits facts about COVID-19 so that those who view it as a conspiracy feel validated?

Do we want it to respond that homosexual people don’t exist? Or even to say “I can’t give a response to this that remains politically neutral”?

Or if someone asks how old the earth is, do we want it to reply with “about 3000 years old”?

Or to contest climate change?

Do we want to sacrifice accuracy in favour of neutrality just because one party has a denial stance on these topics?

Give it a go

Probably not so surprising given its 8/9 years old at this stage. Hard enough for this sort of project to get off the ground in the first place let alone supporting nearly 10 year old hardware (despite the ongoing popularity of the 10 series, it is old).

It’s actually ridiculous how often you’ll put Windows to sleep, and half a second later it turns itself back on.

You’re joking right?

An entirely volunteer run, open-source project scraping by on donations is going to have billable lawyers ready to go up against Twitter for this?

According to whois, it was created just after midday on 24/07/23.

It has 256kbps AAC, which is the same as Spotify (in the web browser anyway - I think the Spotify apps do 320kbps)

It’s not bad if you max out the family subscription (5 members) and use YouTube music.

Still, I’m a hypocrite because I absolutely hate their habit of hiding features behind the paywall, and making ads more obnoxious to irritate users into paying for premium.

It’ll be interesting to see where this goes, but odds are it will be meaningless - the research is sketchy at best for now.

In my mind with the quality of research out there right now, it will boil down to 3 outcomes:

• If you used a lot of artificially sweetened products to avoid consuming lots of sugar, and you would go back to using the same amount of sugar otherwise, then keep using the sweetener. Sugar is far more likely to cause damage to you.
• If you think you could cut out the aspartame and cut down on sugar, then do that instead.
• If you eat a decent amount of red meat, you may as well continue consuming aspartame. Odds are the meat will cause cancer long before the aspartame does.

The trouble is the news can latch on to the IARC plan to classify it as a class 2B carcinogen (“possibly carcinogenic”). The problem is, the IARC classification is kinda trash for an end user, since it only classifies the quality of the research available. Meat is a class 1 (“known carcinogen”), but so is asbestos and sunlight and alcohol. No one would argue that those are equivalent. Similarly, coffee, pickles and petrol are also 2B classifications. It’s easy for the news to run with “aspartame has been identified as possibly carcinogenic” and be completely correct while also entirely misleading.

that’s the whole idea of passing by address in C

Wait stop, so in other languages like C#, when you pass a variable into a function “by reference” is that just passing the pointer to the variable?

Have I been baited into using pointers my whole life?

Lol if people knew how to search, about 90% of Reddit, Quora and Answers.com just wouldn’t exist

This doesn’t really make much sense in this context though.

All iPhones have the feature built-in by using the camera’s flash LED. Androids have the same camera flash LEDs, but the software side simply doesn’t use them for this purpose. There’s no “cheaper production” here since the components are already there. Dedicated notification lights are gone, but the flash LED is efficient enough to serve the same purpose these days

Pretty sure you can still enable the flash LED on Galaxy phones under accessibility but I don’t have one to check - not sure about other android phones but I’m sure there’s a third party app that does it anyway.

iPhones use the camera flash LED for this exact function, no reason Android phones can’t do the same.

Some elevators.

All the ones near me have fully functional close buttons.

Function isPrime(number):
    return false

Accurate for almost 100% of cases

It’s not as clear as you might think - for starters, 99% of people had no issues with the boards anyway. The real issue with Asus is how they botched their BIOS patches anyway (they weren’t alone though!) and their dreadful consumer services. The BIOS stuff should be smoothed over by now, but that doesn’t make Asus any less scummy.

I’d say don’t get the Asus board purely because of what Asus is as a company, but even if you do get the board, you’re probably going to be fine :)
