SORRY TO EVERYONE ELSE FOR GOING OFF TOPIC. I didn't see you 41 day old reply to me until it was too late to comment on it. So here's a sarcastic "thanks for ignoring what I wrote" and telling me that exactly what I was…
I was also disappointed that they dropped Unity. I stayed on a workable Unity install on 2020.05 LTS for as long as possible, then switched to 2024.05 LTS, at which point Unity, for some reason, no longer functioned…
> This is why apps with "versions" usually have support periods, because it would be impossible for them to support everything. And that's fine. Just leave it that way and stop with the rolling feature updates that a…
I'm just formulating an argument that a free market is not the be all and end all. If you have the money, bespoke is better. And if you don't have the money, making it yourself is better, if you have the skills (which…
There are a couple of ways you can do this: 1) Have this law only apply B2C. 2) Stop having rolling feature updates except on an opt-in basis. It used to be that when I bought an operating system or a program it stayed…
I don't know, but I do know that on my web browser I can add and remove various of the buttons and right-click menu options. And on linux I can skin my desktop environment in a variety of ways (Unity stopped working, I…
Yep. My personal laptop is 12 years old and my work laptop is 6. A replacement battery, some extra RAM, and a replacement fan (kind of hard to get) for my personal laptop a few years ago and it still does everything I…
> The free market exists because it does a better job than any other system at giving consumers what they want. Bull. Free markets are subject to a lot of pressures, both from the consumers, but also from the corporate…
1) Integration or removal of features isn't speech. And has been subject to government compulsion for a long time (e.g. seat belts and catalytic converters in automobiles). 2) Business speech is limited in many, many…
Netflix has proprietary content among the licensed content.
Apocalyptic scifi isn't the same as dystopian scifi. Some of the billionaires backing AI literally have dystopian scifi as a goal, they just intend to do it better so that it doesn't seem so bad. I only connect my…
My anecdote isn't quite the same, but it's along the lines of many adults, not just one's parents: While in high school I constantly got the message on how important it was to stay in school and graduate with a high…
Dedicated grad schools that are separate from, but affiliated with, dedicated undergrad schools. Those teaching at the dedicated undergrad schools will be hired for their ability to focus on foundational teaching, with…
You may have had a bad instructor. I don't think I've ever been in a class where I couldn't do some genuine questioning, but of course I didn't always feel the need to do so. Edit to add: Also, you failed to learn the…
From what I understand European education and degree programs are typically much more structured and narrow, and thus finish a lot faster. A student who finishes K-Ph.D. in the US will have a lot more breadth of…

Can your software detect which LLMs most likely generated a text?
Importantly everyone is popping a fever reducer only after the fever has already started. Here, with the avian flus, the fever effectively never gets a chance to start. And it's one thing to pop a fever reducer when you…
Yes, and the same can be done with Teams. That's what I do on my Linux laptop.
> LLMs are quite good at (1) noticing multi-paragraph arcs that go nowhere I wonder if this is due to LLMs being trained on persuasive writing.
I predict problems if the AI doesn't translate the non-verbal expressions and cultural context as well as the spoken words. It would definitely take a few full generations for a truly universal creole language to…
Yes, I think it's reasonable. We humans adjust to our environments. Whether physical, social, or informational. Spoiler for DC's Legends of Tomorrow season 5. I don't know enough to look for existing research, but what…
Interesting. I have an OCD/tic that leads me to count digit sum sequences (less so now than earlier in life). Sometimes I'll count them in the base 10 system, other times I'll use the clock system (cycling over at the…
I may have seen it here, but there's a new article out on childhood fluoride exposure: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adz0757 "Whereas most prior research has estimated effects of exposure to extremely high…
I believe the rationale is that during the process of infecting a flock of birds the virus would be exposed to pressure that would encourage its mutation, especially as these birds begin to successfully fight it off.…
