Rolling the dice exactly once has more chance of getting double crits(I'm assuming he has disadvantage) than never rolling at all

Because I typed it.

I don't need to prove anything, but mostly, your issue seems to be that you think a shitty in-painting image model has anything to do with the usefulness of something like Github Co-Pilot.

If you don't understand something it's ok not to have the edgy opinion on it by default.

trust thsir own feelings over facts

Can I take a guess that you are not currently employed in the software development industry?

it's got settings

Well yeah, Librewolf is basically nothing but settings.

Firefox settings.

Confuses me no end when people rage against Mozilla and then recommend a product that cannot exist without Mozilla.

Boiling them in a clay pot, one of the only materials available to them, renders them edible and famously almost nutritionally complete. They are incredibly easy to grow and grow almost anywhere. They were immediately available. "What happens if we boil it" is the basis for quite a lot of staple foods and would have been a human go-to.

Nice religion.

It's a tool. You're attaching far too much moral virtue to something that in another breath you will describe as an autocomplete tool.

You are all over this thread repeating variations of the same comment which, despite wildly different responses from voters, mostly show you do not at all understand how image model training and generation work.

This sort of absolutism is dead. Do you think they should be disqualified if they Google something and the answer is in Google's AI summary?

  • No? Great, now we understand your line is subjective and you get to decide what is or isn't acceptable use of AI.
  • Yes? Cool. Describe how the you police this and how do you choose between fhe three games made next year that will qualify, of which 2 are furry Visual Novels made entirely of RPG maker assets and 1 is the fifty-seventh Pokemon entry.

Sometimes we do. Sometimes we'll take a loss on the phone because we want you to stay paying the bill after your contract. Market segmentation and personalised offers are a big thing at the moment.

Cool, you live in that world already. Most networks don't lock phones anymore. Our first question to people who ask for phones to be unlocked is whether they actually tried the new SIM in it yet, as almost none of our phones are sold locked anymore.

DT is far more than a network carrier, it's one of the largest IT services companies in the world. On top of that their largest profits in the mobile sector are from the, eh, less regulated T-Mobile.

Their operating margin is around 12%, way down on last year.

A more straightforward telecom example might be Vodafone in the UK who are at -4% this year: providing services cost them money https://companiesmarketcap.com/gbp/vodafone/operating-margin/

Telefonica in Spain are at 1.7% https://companiesmarketcap.com/telefonica/operating-margin/

Orange in France are at 10% https://companiesmarketcap.com/orange/operating-margin/

For comparison outside of the telecoms sector, Google is at 40%
