I've recently been given a MacBook for work for the first time and this was driving me crazy, thank you! Now I just need to figure out how to make Word stick to these commands and …

Any particular template you'd recommend? My resume is LaTeX too but I'm not 100% happy with it (about 98% happy and much happier than with anything else however).

For years YouTube would randomly change my language to Italian and auto translate all the titles, which was annoying but I can change the language back to English and it was fine. …

That's already how this works, basically. You have to keep paying a fee to keep your patent, and the fees increase with each year of the patent. The fees are fixed, but the effect …

Why are you not allowed to hire a cook, painter or child carer?

Does anyone know of a nice UI wrapper for something like whisper.cpp? I need to write a lot of long texts for work and some good dictation software would be great. I know there's D…

Lawyer in training here! Trademarks do get grouped into classes (the so called "Nice Classification", like the French city [0]). The classes are very detailed, and the first 34 ref…

Quite a bit, but Wikipedia provides sources! So I checked [0]. In section 3.3 it says that GSK argued their patent on the new form was being infringed because "there were batches o…

Is there something like oobabooga to easily run this in a click-and-run way? Where I can load up a model, a text, and ask it questions?

As a comparison, an estimate for the cost of World War II is $5T, for US spending at least [0]. Obviously there's differences in methodology etc. but seems to be the same ballpark.…

Depending in the demographics, a fertility rate below replacement level can still lead to a rising population even when excluding migrants, as the people who would be "replaced" by…

I'll guess that this is referencing asylum seekers and migrants. I keep seeing this argument pop up all the time online and in person, but it's never really made sense to me. Popul…

I know you're joking, but at least in Germany you couldn't _steal_ electricity because electricity is not a _thing_ (according to German law)[0]. They fixed that well over a centur…

I don't know how complete the digitization of old texts is, but if you go to worldwide.espacenet.com, search for "airship" and reverse sort by date you get documents from the 1880s…

I once read somewhere that an estimated 70% of all technical knowledge has only ever been published in the form of patents. I always find it fascinating to see these ideas describe…

Are parents disputes decided by a jury in the US? I know we have a different system in Germany and don't have juries to begin with, but patent disputes are generally handled by spe…

I don't think that's correct. The church tax goes directly to the church, not into state coffers. The salaries of bishops and priests, however, are paid directly by the state. In a…

EDIT: Someone linked to the Wikipedia article for uranium tiles, which says that the majority of the radiation comes from the decay products and is beta radiation[1]. Beta radiatio…

I was pretty confused when they said Canada but I checked and it turns out, Canada is part of ESA! As a "non-full member", sure, but I'm still surprised. Fancy that. https://en.wik…

There's a concept in engineering called "Reißlänge" (≈ breaking length), which is how long a cable of a certain material can be before it would rip due to its own weight if suspend…
