Neither atheism nor any “real religion” has to do anything with proving. Agnostics: there might be a god, but I do not know … never saw one! Does that count? Atheist: I am convinced there are no gods (but can not prove it: how the funk do you prove a non existing?) Bottom line, I do not care. Just like an Agnostics, I am just convinced and he leaves it open to surprise, when he dies … or when ever he meets a god(dess).

And I most certainly have not any desire to convince a believer that his believes are BS. Because: I am an Atheist: I do not fucking care about his/her believes!!

That is a) not how the language works and b) an atheist would never try to convince anyone about anything religious. Aka: convert. Because that would mean for him Atheism is a religion, which it is not. I am an Atheist. My inner self is convinced: there are not gods. And that is it. I do not try to make you go away from your god. And I myself: have no god. There is no church or cult of Atheism. there is no organization (perhaps in weird countries there are, who knows?), there is no path to follow, there is no morning or evening or any other ritual, there are no prayers, there is most certainly no evangelism towards Atheism.

Full screen covert thing. What is the point of that, if you have a big screen? macOS started years ago to put full screen apps into their own virtual desktop. Which is often extremely annoying. The only apps I use full screen are IDEs. It does not make any sense for web browsers or office apps.

Well, who knows what is true and what not. I never knew that Push Notifications go via Apple, and not via the network operator. Definitely wrong is GraphenOS’s claim that Android does not allow access to the device id. Of course it does. For what reason would the ID exist if it does not? No idea if you need it for a FB message/notification though.

Facepalm. If the App does not store the data in a 5 mile radius … how do you at least see the latest status when the power and internet is down?

It is definitely not constitutional protected free speech. Because constitution has nothing to say in this matter. On the other hand there is no law restricting such speech either. Making a law against it, that is valid under the constitution, would be tricky however.

And how would they know that? That would mean push notifications would go via an Apple Server. Wich a) makes no sense b) can be masquerade so that the server does not know who talks to whom c) the meta information and the notification can be deleted timely

On the other hand, I guess most Android “low level” peer to peer apps go via FireBase?

You got that “tracked to their identity” opposite around. The reason why there is no Android App is, if the phone gets “found” the data about the user/owner is an open book.

The LLM is not repeating the same book. The owner of the LLM has the exact same rights to do with what his LLM is reading, as you have to do with what ever YOU are reading.

As long as it is not a verbatim recitation, it is completely okay.

According to story telling theory: there are only roughly 15 different story types anyway.

You are obviously not educated on this.

It did not “learn” anymore than a downloaded video ran through a compression algorithm. Just: LoLz.

You can digitize the books you own. You do not need a license for that. And of course you could put that digital format into a database. As databases are explicit exceptions from copyright law. If you want to go to the extreme: delete first copy. Then you have only in the database. However: AIs/LLMs are not based on data bases. But on neural networks. The original data gets lost when “learned”.

Why would it be plagiarism if you use the knowledge you gain from a book?

I guess it is supposed to be a joke, or meme. But it is pretty unfunny. It is just stupid.

No. The teacher did not have it wrong. Does not mean the student is right … Marty and Luis both had their own pizza. Marty had a big pizza and “only” managed to eat 4/6th of it. Luis had a small pizza, and “only” managed to eat 5/6th of his. If you want to give a nitpicking correct answer: a single pizza does not have (4 + 5)/6th pieces. x/6th implies the pizza(s) were divided into 6 parts … so: it can only be 2 pizzas.

JIT compiling and byte code morphing and instrumentation. For instance data base persistence is usually done by instrumentation tools, that add instructions to keep track about transactions and modified objects, or new objects that need persisting. And endless more things.

Then it would not be constantly evolving with more than a new release per year. Do you know anything about gigantic Java ecosystem? Guessed so …

Java always had excellent tooling. You are mixing something up. In General programming languages are not pushed by CEOs but come up in grass root movements by developers.

Enterprise programming and portable GUI applications.

Rather Dart and Flutter.

Oracle has nearly nothing to do with Java. OpenSDK is developed by the Apache Foundation.
