I agree. I see ChatGPT as similar to music synthesizers. They enable creativity. Creativity in novel ways as well.
What if you want to express yourself with a violin sound but don't know how to play one?

I attempted many times to use this extension under Windows. It was one of the most frustrating software installation experiences I've ever had. I never got it to work. Note that it has a 2 star review.
Perhaps Apple developers don't know how to write a Windows program but the macOS version will be usable.

A long, long time ago my (large) school had 2 /16s and a bunch of /24s and every device--including those in the medical center--got a public, internet accessible IP address. https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/networks-con...

I'm confused. Does docker change the routing table? Otherwise there will be no route back to the attacker's machine.
Also, if 172.16.0.0/12 is bound to the docker0 interface then the kernel will see packets from IPs in that range that come in on other interfaces as martians and drop them.

To be explicit, the fix is to go into the trackpad options, more gestures, and change "swipe between full screen apps" (poor name choice) to three fingers.

Yes, and .is (Iceland) is pretty good. See https://slc.is/#The%20Best%20TLD%20is%20Not%20.com which somewhat summarizes https://www.eff.org/files/2017/08/02/domain_registry_whitepa...

Based on IPs and whois, imgur uses fastly.

Looks like there are no restrictions on nationality or language (like .cat).
I was unable to set up my domain with Cloudflare's name servers because you need to register the domain first and the registration process requires that the domain is served by the name servers you enter. I ended up selecting "parked" instead and should be able to switch it later.

Just like the "fathertrees" from Card's book "Speaker for the Dead."

Yes, for example in AWS the instance types with "a" appended (AMD EPYC) are lower cost than the corresponding Intel-based instance.

Before the Available column there was the -/+ buffers/cache line that provided the same information. Maybe it was too confusing.

Maybe Usenet? It already support massive copyright infringement yet it is still around.

If bazonga.com is domain only accessible through the VPN then you most likely always want to look up flargle.bazonga.com through the VPN name servers. On the internet you'll get NXDOMAIN.
However, this could be solved by setting the name servers always to the VPN name servers and make them recursive. But then, what if those name servers don't have internet access?

Similar: Solaris's snoop (tcpdump equivalent) with the -a option:
Listen to packets on /dev/audio (warning: can be noisy).

In this case "M" is a Roman numeral meaning 1000. So "MM"is one thousand thousands, or one million.

Yes, and if you look at the at the IHS it looks like it was intended to cover the RAM, but couldn't, so they just chopped that part of it off.
mark-wagner | 5 years ago | on: Deprecating scp
There are patches for openssh when using it over LFNs: https://psc.edu/research/networking/hpn-ssh/ (which seems to be in a sad state currently). These patches might interact poorly with other implementations (e.g., it didn't interoperate with paramiko (2 years ago)).
Also, make sure TCP window scaling is working. I was making transfers through a F5 Big-IP which was running a profile that disabled it.
