The problem is diplomatic ramifications.

Parliament can always do what it wants, but if it’s unilaterally removing rights from another country they’re going to be pissed off.

What are the odds on Clarence Thomas being found doing some truly heinous things in the Epstein files, refusing to step down, and publishing an opinion that the founders really wanted Trump to become God-KKKing of the US?

Nah, you can actually see some of them developing AI psychosis.

You’ve got to understand that most AI execs aren’t technical people, they’re hype men. And LLMs are weirdly good at hype and the illusion of technical correctness. So they don’t have a problem with it.

Sam Altman saying he uses chatgpt to tell him how to act with his baby is one of the things he’s said I actually believe. Of course he’s also a got a team of nannies he couldn’t be bothered to mention, but the trust for chatgpt is there.

You’ve got it backwards.

This kind of voting forces the existence of two party systems.

Suppose you have two parties one left wing that gets 60% of the vote and one right wing that gets 40% in every district. Right now the left wing always wins.

If the left wing party splits into two blocks of 30% each, the right wing always wins.

So if you want to win, you can never split from the large parties, even if you feel unrepresented.

Depends.

You can argue that it’s basically art/political speech. You’ve done it to draw attention to flaws in the approach and to highlight how ineffectual the current system is, and that if you actually wanted to do make fake IDs you’d take a much less high-profile approach. As such, there’s no actual criminal intent required.

Don’t know if a judge would buy it though.

Ok, but one of the most important use cases is non-local access.

If I’m at home I can just go to the door.

Go on, drop a rocket on Zuck’s Bond villain hideout.

Let’s see what happens.

To be fair Berlin is 100x better than the rest of Germany.

You absolutely can’t use LLMs for anything big unless you learn to code.

Think of an LLM as a particularly shit builder. You give them a small job and maybe 70% of the time they’ll give you something that works. But it’s often not up to spec, so even if it kinda works you’ll have to tell them to correct it or fix it yourself.

The bigger the job is and the more complex the more ways they have to fuck it up. This means in order to use them, you have to break the problem down into small sub tasks, and check that the code is good enough for each one.

Can they be useful? Sometimes yes, it’s quicker to have an AI write code than for you to do it yourself, and if you want something very standard it will probably get it right or almost right.

But you can’t just say ‘write me an app’ and expect it to be useable.

Commercial versions of these systems exist in the UK.

The Gdpr makes these things harder to do, but not automatically illegal.

Surely you have noticed that there is a lot of criticism of the GDPR and EU tech regulation.

Yeah, and some of it is even true.

So a random person on Reddit claimed there’s about 800 million possible uk mobile numbers, some people have multiple numbers so ballpark 80 million active phone numbers. This gives around a 1:10 chance of picking an active number at random. If there’s actual patterns in the numbers this could be even more likely.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

You know open-source doesn’t mean publicly available. It means the person, or in this case the US government, that brought the software should have free access to the source code to edit and distribute it as they like.

So yes, the military should use something functional equivalent to open source to prevent vender lock in and to allow for external audits. They probably shouldn’t give it to Russia or make it freely available online though.

BMI works quite well for typical people.

Either you do so much more exercise than everyone around you that it’s not a good fit for you, or you should take it as a warning sign.

If you think it’s muscle and not fat, there’s another test that you might like to try instead which is the waist to hip ratio. https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio

But if you want an honest appraisal of your fitness, just do a fun run. The shortish runs round a park with a bunch of normal people. Either you can keep up without killing yourself and everything is fine, or you’re not as fit as you think.

If LLMs just copied stack overflow they’d respond to every question with “Closed as duplicate. Question already answered.”

Because Tesla is a meme stock.

It’s price has always been completely decoupled from the number cars they sell, and depends on musk constantly lying and promising fully working humanoid robots and self driving taxis by next year.

Hey guys, I’ve found JD Vance’s lemmy account!

What is a game that wouldn’t be solvable if you removed most of the pieces and positions?

I mean, yes. Any game with only a small number of possible moves can be solved with brute force trial and error.

All unsolved games must have a “sufficient amount of positions” that brute force isn’t an option, and enough complexity that there’s not a cute maths trick to solve it despite the number of moves.

Chess is one of these unsolved games.

Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.

I’m fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can’t be bothered to learn another distro.

Moving abroad is different to giving up citizenship and doesn’t remove your right to vote or fund candidates.
