"Source Available" is "follow whatever my rules are or I will sue you". That could include something as crazy as a license that says "be a dick and I will sue you". For normal people that can't afford legal fees or lawyers that gives "source available" a big range of abusive possibilities.
The problem is that your intern in this case is doing 1600% of the work, and now it’s your job to find and remove that extra 1520% so that you’re left with something usable.
I dunno... Different times, different risk tolerance.
Back in 1980, my dad was sitting at his desk in Bellevue one morning when news came in that Mt. St. Helens was erupting. Him and a pilot friend had the presence of mind to head straight to the local airport and rent a plane.
"Be careful not to head South. Mt. St. Helens is erupting, and you sure don't want to get close that by accident."
"Oh, yeah, sure. No way we'd do something like that."
He has this amazing framed aerial photo of the mountain with the ash plume rising. Evidently, the flight home was pure chaos, bobbing and weaving to avoid dozens of midair collisions since every other pilot in the Seattle area had had the same idea, but 45 minutes later.
I'm not ever going to talk to my phone. Certainly not for the slim list of things that doing so would make more efficient than just looking at it and poking the button I need.
And there's no way I'm going to enable a battery draining 24/7 surveillance microphone on my phone on the off chance I ever do come up with a reason to give it a voice command.
But Apple really wants me using it. So much that my wife's car won't enable CarPlay unless turn Siri on. Like, there's no way to get it to put a Google map on the car's screen unless I turn this unrelated other thing on. They're happy to burn all our goodwill and convince us to buy Android phones next time (which work fine in a car without their surveillance microphone turned on).
Until then, I bought a $5 phone stand for the dashboard.
Maybe you won't, but there's still value in being able to use it hands free. "Hey Siri, call (name) on speaker" is something I regularly ask it to do while I'm driving.
Well timed. I've been going through this process as a non-artist forced to churn out some tiles for a game I'm building [1].
I started off simply cribbing all the tiles from Ultima IV for the Apple II, then gradually adding some rudimentary new tiles as the need arose. Starting with a pixel "rock" and "stick", changing the clothes on existing characters, then eventually gaining a bit of confidence and launching off on more complicated things. Eventually coming back and redoing all the "borrowed" tiles, and launching off into new, more detailed, characters and items.
"Constraints hide your flaws" got me a long way. I've relaxed those constraints a bit as I got better at shading, so it's easy to tell which tiles were drawn at what point in my "career"
[1] https://valtima4.com/, the Survival Crafting RPG you would have played on you Apple II in the '80s. It's essentially Valheim crammed into Ultima IV's interface.
Single player works up through the first couple bosses, but it's not really ready to ship into early access yet.
> If the MT-generated revision isn't reviewed within a set timeframe (which will be communicated later), it will be automatically approved and published, clearly labeled to indicate that it was translated by AI translation was used.
The complaint seems to indicate this "set timeframe" was 72 hours. Add to the fact that there's decent likelihood of an avalanche of articles "that haven't been updated in 6 months", this seems pretty ridiculous to have put into place before at least getting sign-off from senior maintainers that the translations were of sufficient quality.
Indeed. That’s my only interaction with AI coding.
Every time Visual Studio updates, it’ll turn back on the thing that shoves a ludicrously wrong, won’t even compile, not what I was in the middle of doing line of garbage code in front of my cursor, ready to autocomplete in and waste my time deleting if I touch the wrong key.
This is the thing that Microsoft thinks is important enough to be worth burning goodwill by re-enabling every few weeks, so I’m left to conclude that this is the state of the art.
Thus far I haven’t been impressed enough to make it five lines of typing before having to stop what I’m doing and google how to turn it off again.
I dunno, I don't find it so bad. I know what I'm about to type, and occasionally the AI guesses right, so it saves me some keystrokes. I don't bother reading/understanding what it suggests if it doesn't match what I had in mind exactly.
I don't even think it saves me much time, but it saves me some keystrokes, which I appreciate due to having arthritis in my wrists.
This seems like it would work nicely if you removed the concept of pipes and pumps, and replaced them with containers and gravity.
I imagine a barrel of air at the surface with an osmosis filter at the opening and a big ass rock tied to it. Kick it off your barge, let it drop to the bottom and fill with filtered water. Then cut the string and let it float up for collection.
You can use the hydrostatic pressure (about 60bar) with a simple hydraulic intensifier to lift RO permeate from ~600m to ~100m depth, then finish the last stretch with a small, diver-serviceable booster. Basically you only need power to pump the final 100m which isn't bad.
What is the energy expenditure of getting this rock there? The size of the rock is directly proportional to the amount of freshwater this container can hold right?
How much energy does the barge, or whatever pulls it, spend getting itself and the rock and the container into place and back out?
What is this container made of that it can be large enough for this to be feasible, it is full of only air, and it won’t just collapse under pressure at depth? How much does it weigh? We might be talking a much bigger rock than you are envisioning.
You’re glossing over all sorts of energy input and engineering issues, at some point it’s easier to just pump the remaining stuff up
If you’re not planning to be a dick, they’re functionally identical.
It’s an improvement.
