Yes, if you release something for free, you're not entitled to being paid for it. That's tautological. It's what something being free means, that people don't have to pay for it. The interesting question here is, what…
Yeah, this seems kind of unfair to the model. It gave correct citations for the right people that it was talking about, but summarised them incorrectly because it couldn't tell that they were two different people.
Going by the screenshots in the linked tweets, it seems like it performs searches on Bing in order to obtain up-to-date information to answer its questions with, so there's probably not a need to re-train it daily. So…
Oh, thanks for pointing this out! I hadn't thought of it explicitly in that way, so I didn't write it down. But all the concrete examples I was running in my mind were indeed examples of inter-team collaboration:…
The media news cycle in the US was literally staring at a balloon in the sky for days. It's as unsubtle of a distraction from real issues as it can get.
By saying "serendipity" here, we abstract it into its own unique cutesy concept, preventing proper analysis of its actual tangible benefits. This leads people to talk about it as if it's some magical emergent property…
And they still believe it! He's an unparalleled genius and every single breath he takes directly contributes to saving the world. Unfortunately there's a queer globalist Hollywood blue tick pizza trafficking Democrat…
I'm glad it helped! Now that I'm actually looking at the different ways to manipulate strings in JavaScript and not going from memory, the traditional JavaScript "except when it doesn't" caveat applies. It seems like…
Kind of, sort of, not really. What they imply (by using the term "ASCII" here) is not correct, and I'm not sure how the assurance that the string does not contain astral characters helps them split a string by the `.`…
Not disputing that there's a lack of leadership on the matter, but there's also conflicting use-cases: for example, the requirements for the "Python is just a tool that comes with my OS, and if I need any additional…
The once CEO of Sears tried splitting the corporation into thirty to forty companies: https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/4385-failing-to-plan-how-ay... (I recall reading a more entertaining and detailed write-up, but this…
Sneaky indeed. So sneaky, in fact, that it would be completely ineffective.
> There were no studies involving all the shots that kids in the US are getting together these days. It's been decades; the kids are the study. Also, they're no longer kids. Do people who have taken the vaccines report…
I find the idea that we no longer live in "an era where many of our ideas about the world [are] fundamentally wrong" quite amusing. It's not even been twenty years since the UK's leading medical institutions were…
See, I read the sarcastic position and the genuine position in reverse to the way you did. Goddammit.
... do they think that climate change changed the sun's elevation?
The "chaff" and the bad actors are in it for the money. Without them, "decentralized tech" indeed wouldn't be where it is today -- meaning, it wouldn't be overwhelmingly associated with crypto-adjacent grifts. The real…
> That's exactly what it is not. The sedatives relieve pain, they shorten the patient's life as a side effect. An easy way to see is, imagine if the painkillers killed the pain, but the patient miraculously didn't die.…
I think you severely underestimate the horror of knowing that your loved ones wanted to kill themselves, and didn't. Suffering is a state of being; death is an instant. Of course those around them are allowed to say…
Thank you for sharing this. I do not know the specifics of the Canadian law on this matter, so I will not comment on those. I understand the concerns raised about it -- the topic requires the sort of nuance that is so…
Suicide is not legal in many places, though it is correct that this is rarely enforced in any meaningful way. There are cases, however, where family members have been prosecuted for assisting terminally ill people in…
A key distinction, though, between euthanasia and forced sterilisation or eugenics, is consent. The latter are, almost always, decisions taken or considered based on the externalities -- they're not done for the benefit…
The doctor should not react with horror in any case, because the doctor is a medical professional, not a paid actor in a pro-life advertisement, and I would certainly hope for him to behave as such. I'm not sure what…
In a society that does not give any value to people's lives beyond their productive output, this will inevitably be an outcome of euthanasia. It merely provides a more dignified alternative to the existing paths to what…
It is very dishonest to frame it as the suggestion that "your family members should get a lethal injection like the USA gives to criminals", as it strongly implies a lack of agency and consent on their part. What's…
