I think it's because the LLM asked for permission, was given a "no", and implemented it anyway. The LLM's "justifications" (if you were to consider an LLM having rational thought like a human being, which I don't, hence the quotes) are in plain text to see.

I found the justifications here interesting, at least.

I'm pretty sure Kiwis can't vote in Aussie elections though. And they can be deported back to NZ.

The author might get a kick out of an upcoming game called Junxions, which is a sandbox game to just do that... create road junctions.

The subreddit is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Junxions/

Sure they teased that they've made their own solution, but I think Junxions should scratch the itch of most of us here interested in this kind of game.

I loved my T430s. I swapped the keyboard out for a backlit one, and took out the DVD drive and replaced it with a hot swappable second battery. I was running Ubuntu MATE on it, it worked very well for me. The ThinkLight was also great.

I now have a second hand T480s which is also a wonderful machine, but not as amazing as that T430s. I gave my T430s to my mother who uses it to run software (albeit via Windows now) for her sewing machine.

Noted, I thought Future Fonts did the same system as many other type foundries out there, evidently not. Thanks for letting me know.

My bad, I assumed Future Fonts did something similar to other type foundries. Thanks for letting me know!

The way these kinds of fonts work is that you don't host the font, they do. You link the font licence you purchased through your HTML code (or CSS, depending on how the foundry recommends you to apply the font) with a specific font URL that they provide you, which will contain unique identifiers. Then they can track how often the font gets loaded.

If your site really kicks off and you max out those visits per month (that they track on their end), they either start charging you the higher tier, cut off loading your font, or send you stern emails.

There is no expectation that you share your analytics with a type foundry.

A pretty interesting proposition if you are into cinematography with your mirrorless cameras.

According to Nikon, the takeaway key specs are:

- The full-frame ZR can record up to 6K/60p (59.94p) 12-bit RAW video and incorporates the new R3D NE RAW video file format with RED color science based on RED’s popular R3D RAW codec. It uses Log3G10 and REDWideGamutRGB, the same color space and log curve found in RED cameras.

- Multiple internal RAW formats with high dynamic range: Choose RED’s R3D NE with 15+ stops of dynamic range, or Nikon’s N-RAW, or Apple ProRes RAW HQ.

- The impressively huge 4", DCI-P3 touchscreen LCD is bright enough to be used even in direct sunlight.

- World’s first 32-bit float audio from built-in and external microphones.

- OZO directional audio with 5 pick-up patterns.

- Up to 7.5 stops of built-in image stabilization.

- Straight Out of camera Cinematic Video Mode preset gives RED-curated color for expressive, filmic color and tone.

- Stunning autofocus with Nikon’s deep learning-based AI technology: Smart detection of nine object types, including people and vehicles.

- Fan-less, durable body: Heat-dissipating structure with lightweight magnesium alloy, offering the same dust- and drip-resistance as the Z6III.

- On-screen LUT previews, stores up to 10 LUTs.

- New digital accessory shoe.

- Price -$2199.95 SRP (body), available late October.
