The question is not really whether the software will be “better.” In most cases, you only compile from source if you have a specific situation where you need, or think you might benefit from, some specific non-default build option. Or if you don’t trust the provider of pre built releases for whatever reason.
People on Lemmy will believe literally anything you tell them as long as you make it about a corporation or billionaire.
The example in the OP is very obviously food grade plastic, specifically engineered for those use cases
There are no specific questions defining a Turing test. It’s just generally “can the average person tell the difference between this bot and a real person?” It doesn’t go any deeper than that.
It’s also not actually some kind of “definitive” test of consciousness, the way it’s depicted in pop culture. Literally someone just asked Turing what a good way to test for machine consciousness might be, and this was the first thing that came to mind. It does not have any particular scientific significance. It just makes for splashy headlines because it’s a thing a lot of people have heard of.
There’s no rack mount server there. I see a UPS, switch (network and Nintendo varieties), PS4 and mini PC
Sure, I guess, in the same way that all the water in your body was once dinosaur piss
Contract killers don’t really exist, and even if they did, it’s obviously not covered by the legal system, so, you do.
I’m… Not really sure what your question is. What do you mean by your laptop “fitting in the community?”
It happens pretty frequently in tech job listings, to have a requirement listed for more years experience in some technology than that technology has existed
I mean… Babies and small children don’t “choose” what language to learn, they just pick up whatever’s spoken regularly around them. So whatever their families and community speak, same as everyone else?
Yeah, which nobody would “expect” you to if you’re not from there
Where are you getting this impression? I’ve never gotten any sense that anyone outside the city is “expected” to know its geography. “Expected” how?
Also there are only 5 boroughs
Any concept this was ever a thing will be buried beneath the sands of time within your lifetime. You, too, will forget it completely. Nobody will ever think it peculiar because nobody will ever think of it at all.
it’s also not that weird
I’m sure some parents use it as a substitute to avoid saying “son of a bitch” in front of their kids, if that helps
Sure, I mean pretty much by definition. What does that have to do with your question?
Are you under the impression that they don’t?
Like others have mentioned, there are various options (donations/sponsorships/grants) that larger projects will generally have some of, but for smaller projects (99% of what’s out there, by project count if not usage), the answer is simply “it isn’t.” It’s done as a hobby, as a resume booster, or with the hope of eventually becoming big enough to hit one of those revenue streams.
I don’t think of either of them as having any specific regional accent at all. I think they just have somewhat similar voices and mannerisms
I almost hesitate to bring up the other problems with your plan since, obviously the total monstrosity of it. But that’s anyway pretty well covered so I’ll just throw in that blowing enough nukes to kill that many people would create considerably worse environmental disaster
Well, you can’t just blindly throw cigarette butts in the garbage. You’ll start fires. Maybe not if you’re paying attention, but if you’re smoking outside 5x a day you’re bound to slip up eventually. You can only really put them in those specialized cigarette things, which there aren’t that many of
