Yes, I'd say so. Bear in mind that, outside of the Terminally Online, very few people would deliberately hobble their business by deliberately choosing an inferior product.
The "hallucination" term generally refers to any made-up facts. Harsh as it may be to put this weight of responsibility on LLMs, users of LLMs generally use them in the expectation that what is says is true, and has been (in some magic hand-wavy way) cross-checked or confirmed as factual. Instead they will print out what is most likely to follow the user's input, based on the training data.
Unfortunately, a vast amount of that vast corpus of training data is social media posts which can't be relied upon to be true. But if it gets repeated a lot then it's treated as true in the sense that "what does 'salary' mean" is generally followed by a billion social media posts saying "it referred to the time that Romans soldiers were paid in salt, because salt was a currency at the time"
That did not seem at all controversial to me. It seems quite sensible, but it alludes to some silly practices that are now being retired. For example "This effort focused on sourcing from diverse-owned businesses" is, in my opinion at least, a very very silly thing to do.
I am much, much, more interested in high quality, affordable, stable products when I buy things. Not the skin colour of who owns the business. To filter things based on the owner's identity (in the American sense of the word) may disadvantage my business by making my own products (build from their components) worse. It would not be a sensible thing to do.
By default it was the arrow keys for movement and <> for turning with CTRL as fire. But you could re-map the keys and after a few years quite a lot of people did.

No, I think the story is that it's an incredible thing to implement a prime test in a regex. It was a pretty neat thing 20+ years ago when I first saw it and I reckon it's still pretty neat.
The "JAPH" thing was a pretty cool thing too.
perl -e '$a = q 94a75737420616e6f74686572205065726c204861636b65720a9 and ${qq$\x5F$} = q 97265646f9 and s g..g; qq e\x63\x68\x72\x20\x30\x78$&eggee; {eval if $a =~ s e..eqq qprint chr 0x$& and \x71\x20\x71\x71qeexcess}'
I saw that by Abigail on comp.lang.perl.misc many moons ago. Here is an article about it: http://test.neilk.net/blog/2000/06/01/abigails-regex-to-test...
As far as I know, she was the genesis of this whole thing.
No, it really is not. It's a tech demo of moving 3 kilos in an awkward and loud manner, a task that has negative practical value.
While the files are named XXX.SYS they are apparently not drivers. The issue is that a corrupted XXX.SYS was loaded by the already-installed driver which promptly crashes.
"somehow" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. There are multiple routes to alert the authorities by the public that don't involve randomly intercepting internet traffic.
Perhaps. But it's easier to phone the technical librarian and say "Hi! I'm Bob from the password inspection department. Can you verify your current password for me?"
Not me, no. And I'm not even frustrated by pretty much anything. I have some Cygwin SSH sessions on the go and I'm running 'screen' in those terminals. It works and has done since the '90s.
Still pretty competitive in the gambling and cryptocurrency space IMO.
Could be coincidence, of course.
They were (the Cubans) passionate believers in the cause. A lot of cold-war accounts from the other side of the Iron Curtain mention how their passion was unmatched in the SSR countries.
Because, like it or not (I don't) DX11 outperforms OpenGL on my target hardware.
But on the plus-side, VS is incredibly comfy.
It is, as they say, giving people what they want. People get genuine pleasure from the feeling of outrage and, better still, righteous anger. And creators of content get paid by the ad industry more from outraging people than drily informing them of the fact of the matter.
Sony's Aibo is quite pricey, but sold pretty well. And it has little functionality beyond being cute.
I'm sure (semi-sarcastically) that you'll surely make a lot of money.
Anger at hot spot marketing department for successfully selling! How dare they!

That's odd. May I ask how old you are, and what culture/country you're from?
