I'd understand if they were a random user, but a mod should already have at least some understanding about a community's topic.

But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding "childish trolls in this community". I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.

tl;dr:

The research was initiated after scientists on the research team reported seeing occasional flashes of green light while working with an infrared laser. Unlike the laser pointers used in lecture halls or as toys, the powerful infrared laser the scientists worked with emits light waves thought to be invisible to the human eye.

But packing a lot of photons in a short pulse of the rapidly pulsing laser light makes it possible for two photons to be absorbed at one time by a single photopigment, and the combined energy of the two light particles is enough to activate the pigment and allow the eye to see what normally is invisible.

“The visible spectrum includes waves of light that are 400-720 nanometers long,” explained Kefalov, an associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences. “But if a pigment molecule in the retina is hit in rapid succession by a pair of photons that are 1,000 nanometers long, those light particles will deliver the same amount of energy as a single hit from a 500-nanometer photon, which is well within the visible spectrum. That’s how we are able to see it.”

Neat! But please don't shine lasers into your eyes even if it's supposed to be invisible.

Yes, and? They are not sending your PHI to Microsoft.

Or, if they use Microsoft cloud services like 365 or Azure, where they are sending PHI to Microsoft, Microsoft agrees to follow local healthcare information protection law. In the US, as a business associate, they are a covered entity under HIPAA and must maintain compliance to protect your information.

I hope all your stuff supports Unicode.

Because it also breaks down everything else, like plastic, wood, your skin, your DNA, and then you have cancer.

Does Linus still maintain that much control over it? I feel like I read something a few years ago about him starting to step back.

I don't have an answer for you, I just want to tell you that the plural of schema is schemata.

Why? Under Windows or Mac OS too, there's always something that doesn't quite work right.

tl;dr: practice provides an 18-26% improvement, and the rest I guess is just natural talent?

Honestly I'm not sure that that button is even necessary.

The problem is not that it's regurgitating. The problem is that it was trained on NYT articles and other data in violation of copyright law. Regurgitation is just evidence of that.

You know, there's a question on security clearance paperwork that asks if you've ever done anything for violent overthrow of the government, which is definitely not an optional question. Funny that it's optional for even more important positions.

That, and not the "showing his dick to some minors at a bowling alley" thing?

Also Lauren was one of those minors.

You don't need to exert pressure on Biden. You need to help push the entire system back to the left. When Democrats in general are in government, it allows more room for further left candidates. Just like how electing Republicans made room for the Tea Party and the MAGA crazies. If the window had been more toward the left, they'd have been outside the Republican party.
