Took her quite long to come to the conclusion that X is not worth working for.

Thanks! I hadn’t noticed!

So, basically, it is more like “normal” Twitter posts since then?

What took her so long?

This depends on what you are actually looking for, and how you are looking for it.

Do you really need pattern matching, or do you only look for fixed strings? Then other tools may be faster.

If you need case independent search on an upper- and lowercase data set, make a copy that is all upper or all lower, and search there.

If you only search in certain columns, make a copy that only includes these.

Or import the data into a database.

First of all, he should drop Python for anything resource intensive as such a simulation. And then think about how to optimize the algorithm.

The key here is that this is a reasonable legal hurdle. It would be like the terms of service you never read when installing a piece of software.

It will at least stop AI training from claiming fair use.

And demand an additional disclaimer that “use of the contents of this book for AI training purposes is explicitely forbidden”.

If Fakebook or ex-Twatter suddely have to remove all hate-, shit-, and Nazi posts, they would probably be rather … empty?

More than three syllables, too complicated for the average American.

But also: databases shouldn’t forbid uncommon unicode letters if it isn’t called for.

I stumble across this issue quite often. When you fill out a form for US customs, you are both required to provide exact data and you are only allowed a-z, 0-9, and some punctuation. That you cannot fulfil both because they are mutually exclusive does not cross their blessed little minds.

Fiberglass, carbon fibers, or small steel wires. They don’t need to be long, the snippets are only a few centimeters in the video I have seen.

In fairness, rural America probably didn’t entirely understand the implications of said vote.

That’s not the point. They voted for this, so they are responsible for this.

Getting a discount to hand over your data into their cloud so they can train their AIs on it? And hold you hostage in case you dare to switch the OS?

And all that inadequate training, guidance and oversight was due to priorising profits over safety.

Time to head for greener pastures.

The compressing and renumbering seems to be more common with embedded Chinese fonts - Space-wise it makes a lot of sense. But yes, mark and copy text, paste it into word or writer, and you get gibberish. Can’t verify the search, though. And, of course, Google translate can’t do anything with it, either.

If you ever need to edit a PDF that way, just use Inkscape. It is way better than LO draw for that.

It is not a curse. It does exactly what it is intended to do: Create an archive of a document that is universally reproduceable.

It is a very well designed cul-de-sac for exactly this purpose. Using it for anything else is calling for trouble.
