You may already know this, but Xonotic was forked from Nexiuz after the original code owner sold the GPLed code to some publisher to make a for pay game.

OmnipotentEntity OP ,

I spent an hour and a half arguing with my brother about probability, because he asked ChatGPT what the probability that he and his daughter were born on the same day.

ChatGPT said 1/113465 which it claimed was 1/365^2 (this value is actually 1/133225) because there's a 1/365 chance he was born on such and such day, and a 1/365 chance his daughter was too.

But anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of probability would know that it's just 1/365, because it doesn't actually matter on which day they both happened to be born.

He wanted to feel special, and ChatGPT confirmed his biases hard, and I got to be the dickhead and say it is special, but it's 1/400 special not 1/100000. I don't believe he's completely forgiven me over disillusioning him.

So yeah, I've had a minor family falling out over ChatGPT hallucinations.

in fact I just asked that exact same question to chatgpt4 and it also replied 1/365

Yes, you can get different answers because of different phrasing and also because random vector input

A rising road toll in the US. A rising road toll in Australia. Journalists give 1000 reasons why it could be happening.

And they studiously avoid mentioning the growing proportion of massive SUVs and pickup trucks on the roads. If they mention it at all, it's only in passing: https://youtu.be/Hb5_RUNeC0g?si=uuns6D1I6fGINdpU

But.

If you have larger and heavier cars, with larger blind spots, of course you're going to have more fatalities!

Remember kids: Every 10cm a vehicle's hood height increases, the risk of fatalities grows by 22%: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212012224000017

That is just how many it would be reduced by, pedestrian death by car is around 7500/year and climbing in the US.

    Not to be that guy, because James Madison was a fine writer, and I don't think you meant this, but it kinda comes off as you saying that just because someone is prolific means that they are a good writer, which is obviously not true.

    If I'm understanding this correctly, it's not even copying. It's apparently just a wrapper for the built-in runas command that's been there since Windows 2000.

    OmnipotentEntity ,
    @OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

    So please forgive me if this is a rather naive question. I haven't seriously used Windows in nearly 15 years.

    I seem to recall runas being a lot like su, in that you enter the target user's credentials, rather than your own as in sudo. This works because sudo is a setuid executable, and reads from configuration to find out what you're allowed to do as the switched user.

    Is the behavior of windows sudo like unix su or unix sudo with regard to the credentials you enter? Can you limit the user to only certain commands?

    OmnipotentEntity ,
    @OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

    So it's su then, not sudo.

    If this is what it takes to get copyright reform, just granting tech companies unlimited power to hoover up whatever they want and put it in their models, it's not going to be the egalitarian sort of copyright reform that we need. Instead, we will just getting a carve out just for this, which is ridiculous.

    There are small creators who do need at least some sort of copyright control, because ultimately people should be paid for the work they do. Artists who work on commission are the people in the direct firing line of generative AI, both in commissions and in their day jobs. This will harm them more than any particular company. I don't think models will suffer if they can only include works in the public domain, if the public domain starts in 2003, but that's not the kind of copyright protection that Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. want, and that's not what they're going to ask for.

    In my experience, it's normally the other way around. I have no trouble opening doc and docx files made in libreoffice with MS office, but vice versa can sometimes be a little bit chancey.

    Of course PowerPoint vs Impress just destroys the formatting both ways.

    Correction, it is two tacos. One flipped upside down and rotated 90 degrees and placed on top of the other.

    I would love to see it. But I'm far more excited for RISC-V desktops, truth be told.
