Didn't Microsoft get in trouble for trying to steal 7zip code without credit or something?

Reminds me of that Rick and Morty episode with the perfectly level floor. At a certain point in reality you also would need perfect tools to check if something is perfect. Measuring the stick so to speak. I believe it is theoretically possible to get perfect angles, but keeping it that way might be a challenge outside of a vacuum. As a thought experiment, if you take your arm, hold it straight, then bend it, for 1 picosecond or something, wouldn't the angle of your arm be exactly 180.000~°, 90.000~°, etc, as it is bending?
That would make sense if the movie becomes available on their store again you didn't have to repurchase it. But you do. The licence is very fragile and "breaks" if there's ever any licensing issues.
Yeah I felt like it got too personal for public record lol
One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly before his eyes.
‘What’s happened to me,’ he thought. It was no dream. His room, a proper room for a human being, only somewhat too small, lay quietly between the four well-known walls. Above the table, on which an unpacked collection of sample cloth goods was spread out (Samsa was a traveling salesman) hung the picture which he had cut out of an illustrated magazine a little while ago and set in a pretty gilt frame. It was a picture of a woman with a fur hat and a fur boa. She sat erect there, lifting up in the direction of the viewer a solid fur muff into which her entire forearm disappeared.
A while ago I had to go to urgent care for deep vein thrombosis. The nurses were struggling with the scribe tool more than talking to me / inspecting me. The final straw was when I said "left leg" but it wrote "right leg", and got all my medication names wrong. They gave up on it and pulled out a paper and pen lol
Every medical professional I've spoken to says they hate the A.I. scribe because it makes so many mistakes and gets confused, but they're forced to use it by the practice manager / institution they work at.
Yes you're right, I was being hyperbolic. We're 90% mostly-in on cars
The only reason cars are good right now is because countries like US and AU went 100% all in on cars. Do you have any idea the astronomical cost of public roads and car infrastructure? Imagine if we invested the same amount into a really really good train and tram system. Or, alternatively, imagine if we underfunded roads the same way we do public transport.
For coding tasks I treat A.I. as a fresh intern that doesn't really know what they're doing but you can just ask them to do that horribly tedious task and just do a code review later. As you said, something like "rewrite this in Rust", or "create unit tests for this function". Then you fix all it's mistakes. I'd never let it touch an actual algorithm or anything important though.
I don't trust Google not to nuke my playlist randomly for copyright... Especially my precious bootleg remixes that have been purged from the internet. I use EverMusic with Dropbox for that reason.
