It's interesting because of the conclusion: a noted expert verifying a surprising LLM finding.

But when does a product become waste? When the owner says it is.

I just read "The Tallyman", and I have no idea where this allegory and its moral message is supposed to hide.

It's more likely that the obsession with this theme resides in the reader, not the authors. Give these same stories to Senator McCarthy, and half of them will be clear allegories for the Communist revolution.

Technically you already have need of another format, because Kindles don't support epub, and your books get converted before the transfer.

Its like driving your car 3 blocks instead of walking, your physical health will suffer.

And be sure to only walk barefoot. Relying on artificial shoes weakens the muscles and the skin of your feet.

"Translate this poem. Maintain meter and rhyme."

Average shot length is down to something like 3 seconds in modern cinema. That's a pretty low bar.

You can't just have that. It won't feel good unless you unlock it with honest gacha!

I wonder what language the encyclical was written in. Could it be the first one originally English?

We should distinguish between the moral condemnation of a behavior and the desire to outlaw it. The latter is hardly Christian in any universal sense and seems to be mostly an effect of Protestant puritanism. For example, many saints have argued to tolerate prostitution and other vices for the sake of man's weakness.

Why cooldowns? Most npm (or pypi) compromises were taken down within hours,

But won't more people on cooldown mean less likelihood to catch the bug, thus extending the need for cooldowns?

I stumbled over that metaphor. Isn't it true that a consequence of setting your kitchen on fire will be a new, better kitchen?

That depends on how you count, though.

Local storage and cache only have limits relative to available disk space in Chrome, IIRC, and can easily bloat to 100 GB without intervention. Personally I think that's a design flaw and they need customizable hard limits as well, but web browsers wasting space without asking is not a new or sudden development.

Recognizing a unique selling proposition and capitalizing on it should count for the AI, not against it.

C-evo development shifted to forks, New Horizons and Distant Horizon.

According to the CSS, this site requests the fonts Verdana or Geneva in order, and what you say about the capital 'I' is true for the former but not the latter.

The aspiration is to replace the movie industry. That's a lot of demand.

That line of argument is rather misleading, as some kind of content manipulation is inherent to the service an archive that violates paywalls has to provide. It needs to conceal the accounts it uses to access these websites, and their names and traces are often on the pages it's archiving.

Did AT go beyond that and manipulate any relevant part? That's rather difficult to say now. AT is obviously tampering with evidence, but so is Wikipedia; their admins have heavily redacted their archived Talk pages out of fear one of these pseudonyms might be an actual person, so even what exactly WP accuses AT of is not exactly clear.

The person running nanoclaw[.]net can put anything they want on that page tomorrow. A crypto scam. A phishing page. Malicious download links. They could fork the GitHub repo, inject malicious code, and link to it from the site that Google is telling thousands of people is legitimate.

A lot of handwringing about hypotheticals. The page is up there because it links the official repo. Changing that will quickly tank its search rank.

Looks like Weatherwar 2 for the C64.

As described by the posts, the original used 16-bit signed integers. The fix was to switch to 32-bit.

I think what Tolkien would have hated the most was Aragorn murdering the Mouth of Sauron. Stylistic choices are one thing, but turning morality on its head is on another scale.

The underlying architecture we have today can't actually do this.

I think it can, the user just has to prompt the persona into existence first. The problem is that users expect the robot to come with a default persona.

I disagree with gpt-image-1.5's grade on the worm sign. It moved some of the marks around to accommodate the enlarged black area, but retained the overall appearance of the sign.

The way I see it, S2 was pretty lazy. They took a system that was fairly polished already and tinkered with it without understanding how it would impact the whole, like how they made a level-up system that heavily incentivizes a degree of micromanagement the UI isn't built to support.

Or take the pig farm: Clear pros and cons in S1; in S2 it's just a bad bakery. Or the perpetually broken ship navigation, and no way to do naval invasions.

Oh yeah, I had to unload the CD driver and move the mouse driver to himem just for this...

If the aim is to emulate games, Kickstart 3.1 or even 2.04 shouldn't be the first choice. Backwards compatibility must have been really poor back then; at least I've run into lots of software that will only run on 1.3.

Disincentivizing something undesirable will not necessarily lead to better results, because it wrongly assumes that you can foresee all consequences of an action or inaction.

Someone who now falls in love with an LLM might instead fall for some seductress who hurts him more. Someone who now receives bad mental health assistance might receive none whatsoever.

Training on copyright is not illegal.

The court decision this thread is about holds that it is, on the grounds that the training data was copied to the LLM's memory.
