I would presume that that distinction would belong to the world war one planes that fired their guns through their own propeller?

UK’s seaside towns fear impact of ending coastguard callout payments
It does sound like a side job to be fair....
Maybe they should just be paid properly for their time?

I tried the AIO docker build I never got the file sync working at an acceptable level. Would be using piss all resources and still only syncing a few files a second.
Does installing bare metal make it faster, or is that not what you meant?

I asked ChatGPT for the rarest types of prompts it has encountered. These are interesting I might build off of them.
If chat gpt has access to other people's chat history, there is a big problem.
It just made this up, it's what AI does a lot of the time.

When is it justified to use AI-generated images?
There are different reasons against AI, it depends which ones you consider more important.
A) taking jobs away from artists - you can argue that if you would never have hired an artist for this anyway (throw away character portrait for a D&D game) then it's justifiable.
B) That AI was trained on stolen content. - depends on your definition of stolen, this is the area that makes me think twice.
C) Environmental reasons - I try to generate stuff locally if I use it, but you still have the impact from the model being trained originally.

It's not like oil extraction and processing doesn't have it's issues, and you have to do that for every trip.
Once your battery is made, the materials are there and can (probably, needs some work) be recycled forever.

Reply in thread
Shut your windows and curtains and it helps keep the heat out. For a 6 day heatwave the heat is going to soak in anyway though.

The late queen's protection of him was a blemish on her record. I'm happy the king has cut him loose to face consequences..... I wonder if they asked him before the arrest...
