No it wouldn’t have.

Licensing isn’t 1 sided. You have to have both parties AGREE to the license.

In this case it’s just text on each message.

The reason OpenAI was able to scrape the internet largely consequence free is because they never agreed to the ToS of the websites, thus they are not bound by those terms.

I agree that it isn’t right or morally correct, but legally it’s okay.

Additionally, by signing up to Lemmy, they grant certain rights and privileges to their instance and others due to agreeing to the license.

In fact, lemmy could make it easier for scrapers, as lemmy will happily deliver content to your instance, simplifying scraping.

Then what’s the point? It doesn’t stop scrapers

You know that license doesn’t do anything, right?

Additionally gasoline degrades after some time and would be mostly useless after 4-5 years without substantial additives and work to bring it back into shape.

I believe kerosine can last up to 10yrs

The banks would reverse the transactions.

If the foreign government pays you, you can take the money and move to that country

I don’t understand why it’s normal procedure to fly over an active airport with a helicopter.

That seems destined to have issues

Can’t they just fly around it?

It’s because LLMs don’t work with letters. They work with tokens that are converted to vectors.

They literally don’t see the word “strawberry” in order to count the letters.

Splitting the letter probably separates them into individual tokens

It’s written in nvidia instruction set PTX which is part of CUDA ecosystem.

Hardly going to affect nvidia

You can install draw.io

It’s knowledge isn’t updated.

It doesn’t know current events, so this isn’t a big gotcha moment

The problem with the hydrants is they used 9 million gallons of water, which was their entire reservoir (3 3 million gallon tanks in surrounding hills for water pressure).

To feed hydrants you need massive quantities of water in a higher place for pressure.

The state is investigating why they couldn’t keep up, but I think it’s as simple as the system wasn’t built to refill their reservoirs fast enough

Where are you shopping? Only having a 5lb bag of jasmine rice is weird.

Just use powdered instead of the fresh herbs. I would consider doubling up on most spices if you are using powdered.

Garlic and ginger both can be frozen. They also last a good while, so you can keep them in your fridge

You can always ask the butcher to get you a smaller piece of meat. You can also separate pieces of meat and freeze part.

If produce is by weight, you can break the package to be smaller. Even things like squash can be cut in half (ask the produce people, places like Aldis will not do this).

Buy canned and frozen veggies as much as possible, they last longer. They won’t be as tasty, but will reduce your food waste.

Cook larger portions and freeze the leftovers and eat them in a week or two.

As far as spices, dishes, etc. look at them as “investments” cause you won’t be using them all on one meal…

They are building camps in Texas. Concentration camps are going to be a thing soon.

It’s a matter of who is put in there first, probably migrants, but any mass immigration sweep WILL sweep up citizens. It’s happened in the past before.

While you just missed it, Eddie Bauer has some decent stuff for 50% off for Black Friday and right after Christmas.

I sound like a shill, but I just moved from cali to Chicago, and it let me stock up on several decent coats and I also bought some higher end stuff from other places

That looks to be 2 years old. It’s probably much different than the current one

They allow them to become firefighters nowadays.

The law changed recently

I did too… I was very confused

Adequately is a difficult determination.

Is it adequate if there are state maintained dirt roads? In some states, the state or county chooses not to pave all of their roads.

Is it adequately funded if they have potholes? Due to weather conditions, some states are notorious for potholes.

Is it adequately funded if the road gets washed out or carried away by flooding? California gets mudslides that take out sections of roads, other states get sinkholes or hurricanes/tornados destroying their roads

How long can one of these issues plague a road before we consider them underfunded?

My opinion is that the US has too many roads. Most roads are maintained by county or municipalities, and are funded through infinite growth model.

When a developer creates a new subdivision, they pave the roads. Once done, they usually relinquish these roads to the county/city who are responsible for maintaining the roads.

Typically maintenance is low until they require replacing. The cities and counties don’t save money or plan well for replacing these roads and rely on new tax revenue to fund replacing them.

It builds a slowly ballooning road maintenance cost that someone will have to pay. I believe someone made a video about this very fact. I don’t have the link handy

Sales tax is either included already or not charged.

The posted price is the posted price, no additional taxes on top of it.

Although they add 99/100ths to the price, so $3.00/gal is really charged at $3.0099/gal.

Of course this gets rounded up 😒
