First of all patents run out generally after 20 years. And then everyone can use your technology.

The whole idea of patents is incitivising inventors to publish their invention for everyone to see. In exchange they get a period of exclusivity. This way they also don't have to deal with as many trade secrets.

I love how this comment suggests every fucking alternative doesn’t or wouldn’t.

How did you get that from their sentence, what the fuck?

There’s generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.

Throughput isn't everything though, for instance in train stations some people hurry for a connection, I would say let the latency sensitive ones bypass the others, except in situation where there is a concrete throughput issue.

And the fast blink while pairing can stay too. That's a good use of the LED imho.

I don’t want to change game dev actuality. I just want the terms to reflect what’s actually going on.

Very good and sensible, I second this motion!

So Fuentes says that Trump can’t admit Trump lost, because that makes everything they did senseless. Which is what we’ve been saying all along.

I think he knew all along, but he saw the value in sowing doubt and making it part of his usurpation plans. If you can steal the executive branch and have enough people believe it was justified, because it was actually the counter reaction to a stolen vote, then you have an easier time of mystifying your history and maintaining international relations.

You know like the old playbook of brown shirts in Germany who ended the Weimar Republic.

and even tennis.

Tennis?! Not even Serena Williams believes that:

"Andy Murray has been joking about myself and him playing a match. I'm like, 'Seriously? Are you kidding me?' Men's tennis and women's tennis are two completely different sports," Serena Williams said. "If I were to play him, I'd lose 6-0, 6-0 within 10 minutes. Men are a lot faster, they serve and hit harder. It's a different game."

The server is used for hole punching, to open up a P2P connection thorugh NATs and Firewalls. If it doesn't work the server also relays the traffic between the clients.

Getting an end to end connection through todays internet is unfortunately not easy for an average user.

I’m in the state of Georgia: no provision for breaks are given at all.

Oh man that's brutal.

I used to live in the UK: I think the rule was employers are required to give 30 mins per 10 hours worked, cannot be in the first or last hour.

Yeah here in Switzerland it's similar to the UK rule. Any shift longer than 6 hours needs to be interrupted by an unpaid but uninterrupted break of at least 30min for eating, such that there isn't more than a 6 hour continuous work period on either side of the break, IIRC.

Our standard for full-time employment is 8.4h per day. (That's a bit high in comparison to neighboring countries). It's very usual that you get your eating break somewhere between 11:30-13:30 o'clock, maybe on rotation with coworkers if you need to keep the phones staffed.

In my office job we all go together from around 11:45 to 12:45.

Is a proper meal period with rest not guaranteed by law?

Or is it, but it's hard to fight for it because the workplace culture is shaped differently?

My entire company of 150 people here in Switzerland in Zürich has 11 parking spaces, one is reserved for the CEO, who doesn't even use it often, three are rented by other C-suite members, five are for visitors or the occasional internal reservation, and two hold our bike racks.

But you really have to be masocistic to even want to drive in Zürich during the commuting times. Right in front of our office there is an train station for a local train line right under the river, and on the side of our block there is a tram station. Or you can walk to the main station in 10 minutes. I usually bike home though, it's half an hour and at least somewhat counteracts my sedentary lifestyle.

It did not simply analyze the best type of graphics card for the situation.

Yes it certainly didn't: It's a large language model, not some sort of knowledge engine. It can't analyze anything, it only generates likely text strings. I think this is still fundamentally misunderstood widely.
