In general, this is definitely an area where the best approach is to just find an existing tool for what you need and use that. Especially for text data, compression is a pretty well-studied field and there are plenty of public (and open-source, if that’s a requirement) tools that will do a fantastic job at reducing size. Rolling your own is likely to result in significantly worse compression rates, and if you make an error your data could be irreparably destroyed which you won’t know until you try to access it later.

If your data is incredibly specific you might be able to do better, but it’s usually best to ignore that sort of optimization until you actually need it.

They died doing what they loved. Placing their very life into the hands of techbro con artists.

I’m sure that the protest size limits of 100 will be respected at a school with 55,000 students. This is definitely a realistic and effective strategy for them to take.

Well of course not. They don’t see cis children as people either, just as property. You’re a person in the womb, property until you turn 18, and a drag on society after that unless you’re a christian conservative.

To be somewhat contrarian, what advantage is there in BLM raising these concerns and making this demand? What does it do, in this election cycle, to advance their agenda?

Not even, it’s just a case of “this role was one of many eliminated as part of a larger cost-cutting measure affecting 200 employees.”

Oh for sure. Actually doing this is really unfair to her, and shouldn’t happen.

I also appreciate your reasoning for calling her Vivian. Well said.

Harris should share a video that mimics Elon’s voice talking about how he loves and supports his trans daughter and accepts her unconditionally as a woman.

Edit: Several people seem to have taken this seriously. For clarity, it was a joke. It would be really unfair and inappropriate to weaponize her in this way without her consent. I regret the ambiguity.

Sure, but the argument isn’t “should we ban work that is based on the study of past cultural creation” it’s “we should prevent computational/corporate exploitation of past cultural creation in order to protect the interests of humans.”

Well, for starters, “college” uses a soft g sound.

I hate Fox News. I think they are a joke masquerading as news and mostly serve to fuel misinformation, fear, and hate. I have no doubt that a significant number of their staff members are incredibly racist, overtly and covertly. I don’t know enough about Kilmeade to know for sure where he sits there, but I definitely think being a Fox host is already a pretty big red flag on the “are you a racist” test.

But… I have to be honest on this one, I hear him say “college.”

I’m not sure what EXACTLY you’d be looking for from a search feature as I’m mostly a light user myself, but there’s a search option which will search the contents of all your notes. I can’t tell you how robust it is, but it does have exclusion (desiredTerm -excludeTerm) search at least, and there’s standard Find/Replace functionality once you’re in the specific note.

The minors were charged with 20 counts of creating child sex abuse images and 20 counts of offenses against their victims’ moral integrity.

The article doesn’t make the claim that the AI is what makes it illegal, simply that AI was used. It’s literally the second sentence. Indeed, it goes on to highlight that there are legal novelties prosecuting the use of AI.

That 2600 pages of Trans hate collection is 60MB.

The article referenced is about their Desktop application

I feel like it would be more efficient to simply give her the same discount (without the middleman’s fee) on her actual rent, given that this is a state-sponsored program and she already lives in subsidized housing.

Last year, the popular right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder announced his own unwilling split. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore,” he complained, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”

I mean, women only exist to be owned by their husbands, after all.

The admin has been away, and so it was basically just an error page for an extended period. Now, it seems to not be federating properly (either due to defederation, or some issue on the server side, but I honestly haven’t bothered looking into it) and bots/spam have overrun a lot of the site. The admin is apparently planning to hand over the instance which could help recover it, but it’s pretty much unusable right now.

That’s not an excellent example. If they refuse to collaborate with them, and also don’t make any claims about the quality of code, then the claim that their objectivity in reviewing code is tainted doesn’t hold.

Been on a Cyberpunk 2077 binge for the last 2 weeks or so. I’m maybe 4-6 hours away from completing everything except the final main story mission. It’s been an absolute pleasure, I haven’t found myself wanting to come back to a singleplayer game in the same way for some time. I know the game had a rocky start, but having picked it up much later, it’s a welcome addition to my “would recommend” list of games for RPG-lovers.
