According to the statement someone else linked now, they will ask devs about whether they comply with the payment processors’ terms, and it sounds like those processors will otherwise be unavailable. They just had to blanket remove like this for now because they don’t actually have sufficient knowledge about all the games’ content.

We’ll see what will happen, and if it turns out devs are getting screwed in the long run, someone will fill the new market niche anyway.

Wouldn’t surprise me if many young people can’t, I’m on the edge between millenial and gen z and reading an analog clock always needs some active effort. I’ve always preferred digital so I never really had to read analog clocks besides the one that hung in our kitchen and that one time I had a watch. Oh and the train stations still all have analog.

Kitchen clocks, if they aren’t just the oven or microwave, are probably becoming rarer, so when your watch is also digital, you’d never really encounter analog if it’s not somewhere in the public space, which will probably depend on where you live.

I’d guess most kids probably still can read one with effort because at least when there’s a second hand (since you can easily see it move) it’s kinda self explanatory, and it probably got explained in school once.

I had something kiind of similar once, where it would only boot after trying to boot once, letting it run a bit in idle, and then rebooting where it would actually succeed. Turned out I forgot to put the clear cmos jumper back to neutral after i reset cmos.

So my best guess (other than new battery) is check the jumpers maybe

So, english works like language has always worked, and french has lost the plot.

That said, complaining and refusing to use it yourself when people use language in a way that you think makes no sense is also part of that process. Feeling superior because of that is just ridiculous though.

I think there’s a blurry line here where you can easily train an LLM to just regurgitate the source material by overfitting, and at what point is it “transformative enough”? I think there’s little doubt that current flagship models usually are transformative enough, but that doesn’t apply to everything using the same technology - even though this case will be used as precedence for all of that.

There’s also another issue in that while safeguards are generally in place, without them llms would be very capable of quoting entire pages at least of popular books. And jailbreaking llms isn’t exactly unheard of. They also at least used to really like just verbatim repeating news articles on obscure topics.

What I’m mainly getting at is that LLMs can be transformative, but they also can plagiarize. Much like any human could. The question is then, if training LLMs on copyrighted data is allowed, will the company be held accountable when their LLM does plagiarize, the same way a person would be? Or would the better decision be to prohibit training on copyrighted data because actually transforming it meaningfully can not be guaranteed, and copyright holders actually finding these violations is very hard?

Though idk the case details, if the argument was purely focused on using the material to produce the model, rather than including the ultimate step of outputting text to anyone who asks, it was probably doomed to fail from the start and the decision makes perfect sense. And that doesn’t seem too unlikely to have happened because realizing this would require the lawyer making the case to actually understand what training an LLM does.

Urine contains salt, always, even when in a state of hyponatremia: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/sodium-excretion (scroll down to the kidney disease paper, it wont show any of the text on the direct link, insert obligatory hate on academic publishers)

I hope you don’t need a source for distilled water not containing salt or water needing to be excreted or for sweat (the other way water leaves your body) containing salt, I already spent way too much time on this because sourcing on mobile is a pain.

And yes, <10mmol/l isn’t a lot. That’s <500mg (and how low it can go precisely idk, couldn’t find that, but likely much lower, given that the <10mmol figure is a threshold for diagnosis of kidney issues) You replenish that through food, easily (esp these days where sodium intake is, if anything, very high). That’s the whole point. Barring very extreme situations, healthy kidneys will regulate your sodium levels just fine.

Yes exactly glad you get it. Some people want to actually understand why something isn’t true instead of believing the first source that says so.

Yes that’s what I said. But one of the likely reasons the myth stays around is that all of the following is true:

• Excreting water requires electrolytes
• Excreting water will remove those electrolytes from your body
• Drinking significantly more water than you excrete will lead to hyponatremia
• Distilled water has no electrolytes while tap/mineral water does

What the myth ignores is that:

• The amount of electrolytes in water is negligible anyway, so distilled water isn’t really worse in that regard and consumption of any normal amounts of distilled water is completely fine
• You can’t just drink infinite fluids because you consume infinite electrolytes because your body is more complex than that, so regardless drinking too much of anything will kill you

But saying it doesn’t strip you of anything isn’t entirely true, and I’m not a fan of misinfo even if it’s more of a nitpick. More than that I don’t think it’s going to help when from my first 4 bullet points you could easily come to the incorrect conclusion that drinking distilled water will quickly lead to hyponatremia.

It’s probably also where the osmosis thing further up comes from, since that’s involved in causing the neurological symptoms, it’s just unrelated to what fluid you consume, since it happens with your blood, not the fluid itself.

You don’t fight misconceptions with half-truths.

Edit: when i say fluid i mean something water based ofc, if you drink something else for some reason you’ll probably have all sorts of different issues anyway.

It does, for the simple reason that urine (as well as sweat) necessarily contains electrolytes, so you lose those.

The misconception lies in thinking that tap or mineral water somehow don’t do this. They contain some electrolytes, but not really a significant amount, as you primarily get them from food.

Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don’t have to change any accounts.

Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I’ll finally do it now.
