Non breaking spaces and zero width spaces are not watermarks. They are used all the time in professional typesetting and it's actually a good thing that GPT models can do that now.

But of course they can be a tell if you write your work email like a professional type setter but to be fair there are lot of other tells too in GPT outputs.

PS: In fact there are even keyboards (but they are rare) for example for German E1 extension (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1_%28Tastaturbelegung%29) that can even type those characters. They are used to prevent unwanted line-breaks, for example between numbers and there units or to allow for hyphenation in long words.

Approval voting and more parties could theoretically improve things quite a bit. But switching to approval voting is probably not simple because why should the biggest parties support something that hurts them.

You don't 🤣

I'm not sure if "strongest currency" is a good wording here because the absolute exchange rate has nothing to do with how strong a currency is. It's the relative exchange rate (what was the exchange rate last year and what is it know) that would be a better fit to gauge how "strong" a currency is.

Erschließt sich mir nicht ganz diese Logik. Hättest auch gleich selbst ein Logo für den CCC erfinden können mit der Begründung, dass es besser in die Vorlage passt.

I'm pretty sure the mobile teams UI is also just web stack with a webview wrapper. They want you to use the app so you have to install intune and to get deeper into your system.

Best thing is, they introduced some settings to turn that auto-conversion off and they don't work 🤣 can't make that stuff up.

I have no idea how small your toilet or large your penis is, but what do you do with your penis, when you have bowel movement?

[–] wischi 7 points 1 week ago (13 children)

How about just sitting down on the toilet? Don't get me wrong it's great you got it checked out but sometimes there are pretty simple solutions.

Look at his arm. Unless all the videos of that guy are fake (even during a time where making a convincing video fakes was really hard). That arm is not going down even if he wanted.

But there is a difference between making a claim about not drinking water and literally holding your hand up in a way you can't fake.

I personally use a self hosted instance of kitchen owl https://kitchenowl.org/ I really like it's simplicity and use it quite a lot and nobody has access to the data but me.

 

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.

It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)
