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.

On Android some apps have their own notification sounds, too. It’s very common with chat apps and other social apps (dating, language exchange, that kind of thing) and some very annoying games that earn a pretty quick disable or uninstall from me.

I do this with loose screws and bolts as well.

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 🤷

Oh sorry, I meant what kind of box?

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.

Having tried simple bidets in both warm, cold, and neutral-ish climates, I find that cold water bidets seem to stiffen the poo bits and make it hard to actually get them off your butt esp since they stick to the hairs. You and I might be talking about different levels of cold, though.

Let’s see AI try to recreate this coherent incoherence! HUMANS REPRESENT!

13542 in the original doesn’t even make a star

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.

“oooh yeah play with my testes a little bit”

It’s the social permission to say homosexual things without being a homosexual for me

I suppose you can’t blame your earlier dentists, though. How were they supposed to know? And if they automatically treated redheads differently, would that be racism?

I occasionally lecture my 3DPD wife about science facts and she hates it. She’ll say things like “what?” And “I was just asking what we should do for dinner”

We still don’t talk sometimes

I think the main barriers are context length (useful context. GPT-4o has “128k context” but it’s mostly sensitive to the beginning and end of the context and blurry in the middle. This is consistent with other LLMs), and just data not really existing. How many large scale, well written, well maintained projects are really out there? Orders of magnitude less than there are examples of “how to split a string in bash” or “how to set up validation in spring boot”. We might “get there”, but it’ll take a whole lot of well written projects first, written by real humans, maybe with the help of AI here and there. Unless, that is, we build it with the ability to somehow learn and understand faster than humans.

People seem to disagree but I like this. This is AI code used responsibly. You’re using it to do more, without outsourcing all your work to it and you’re actively still trying to learn as you go. You may not be “good at coding” right now but with that mindset you’ll progress fast.

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