because that's less problematic

It's less problematic for some applications. It's quite terrible if you're trying to stay synchronized with something like satellite motion, where it's easier to either use one of the TAI-locked times (like GPS Time) or explicitly handle a leap second than it is to handle smeared leap seconds. Stock traders similarly want to be sure they know exactly what the civil time is so they can resolve trades, rather than smearing a leap second over however many hours or days.

It depends on how the contributions were licensed. A lot of projects require either copyright grants to the project steward (for example, the FSF) or explicit permission for the steward to distribute the code under some other license. Occasionally there are good reasons to relicense code, like the transitions across GPL versions, but this is the obvious risk of giving those permissions.

That pretty directly disagrees with what you claimed the first time around. It privileges establishment sources rather than weighting all sources equally, and values safety and grounded answers over misinformation.

Learn to not be such an early triggered snowflake, Karen.

I didn't mock a suicide. I specifically said I hope this doesn't result in another suicide. Learn to read.

Are you so triggered by the fact that Cambridge was more proactive about plagiarism than OpenAI? Or just that I pointed that out?

This unreleased OpenAI model is absolutely unqualified to be a professor at Cambridge, even if it did create this proof when it was just weeks old (depending on how one counts). Let's just hope that it doesn't commit suicide, and that those who reported its apparent misconduct aren't punished for doing so.

On the basis of water usage, no. Depending on the estimate you use, California's almond growers use four to seven times as much water as all US data centers combined. Which industry does more good for you?

It might have been okay if the /pol/ people just stayed in their little ghetto, but they cross-posted to the main tab while bringing their (even more than usually) biased moderators. That made the main tab toxic as well.

Capitalist economies give us roughly 99.999% of memory today. What alternative source do you suggest to meet demand?

People have passengers sometimes, and driving from the middle of a three-person bench seat is much more dangerous than from the side.

Shor's algorithm has been used to factor 21, not 29. 29 is prime, and people don't usually talk about factoring primes because the factors are trivial. But otherwise, yes.

Government intervention in international currency markets is "capitalism"? Since when, and by what definition? Wikipedia says "Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and its use for the purpose of obtaining profit", which on the surface neither implies nor aligns with the Chinese government controlling the CNY-USD exchange rate.

No, it's not. Read better.

I bet that the system showed police the timestamp of the image and they ignored it. This is the same dysfunctional state where police can't identify a burglar who used a Waymo robotaxi as a getaway car.

Don't be a dick. You claimed something that wasn't in TDS or TFA. It's not my burden to disprove your hallucination.
