Between the rise of emoji culture and Orange45's dismantling of education, it's not surprising Cathay will soon surpass MAGA's Red AmeriKKKa.

lol what?

You do know that Americans were better readers before there ever even was a federal Dept of Education, right?

GEMINI IS A NEAR PERFECT AI. COPILOT IS A DETERMINISTIC GARBAGE GENERATOR

First of all, I can get garbage from Gemini just fine (although it is a very useful tool if you are aware of the limitations). I've never used copilot, but I am pretty sure it is not deterministic. AFAIK all such models are probabilistic, and since they use randomness for generation, you can also call them stochastic, but definitely not deterministic. I don't know if I am missing something about copilot in particular, so correct me if I am wrong, but it does sound like a garbage post ;)

But ... but ... the all caps was so convincing!

I have a Kindle from 2015. In one of the 'recent' updates â" I think it was released a year or two ago â" they made it impossible to read imported ebooks.

You connect the Kindle to a PC, copy ePub files and then disconnect it. The files (books) are there. Check the reader a few hours later and all the books will have vanished. If you attach the reader again, the files are deleted. Fuck you, Amazon!

Hmm, I have one newer than that. and my imported ebooks are there and persistent.

Not necessarily easy to find though - the UI is horrific.

(also, I think I used the "email it to your special Kindle email address" method rather than USB cable to get them on there)

Yeah, exactly. It's not like it's all that hard to just put up your own website. It's just not something most writers can do, or want to do.

So ... oh the injustice! - they have to pay someone else to do it.

If it's just a "tax" and you get no value from it, then go ahead, create and maintain your own website. Since it's so easy that it should be free.

Does that apply to classified documents?

If it did, and if you applied that evenly, then all living ex presidents would do time.

So ... you are just spewing random political nonsense. And you know it.

(And if your valuable stuff were stolen from a car, you'd be calling those mean old police, and you'd be hoping that the thief would do time.)

I would hope so. Why shouldn't you do time for theft?

The more competition in that space the better.
