Im not vegan either but artificial semination as well asthe process of getting the sperm is imo just as if not more undoubtedly sexual assault.

It is pattern-matching. The next token matches the patterns in the training data.

Have watched my cat come home with a rat the same size as herself in her mouth once. Maybe they would only go for already weakened ones though.

It’s interpretable that way because it’s the only sensible meaning the sentence could have, but grammatically it’s pretty much nonsense (the only grammatically correct interpretation I can parse from that is that the speaker owns less people than have been to berlin). It’s purely context inference, it could say “more people berlin than I” and you can come up with the same interpretation.

Fwiw I wouldn’t reach that one at all, best I could come up with is “I am one person, more than one person has been to berlin, so more people have been to berlin than just me”.

It undoubtedly is nonsense.

Should supermarkets just sell alcohol to 10 year olds?

I think there are plenty of places where age gating makes sense as a concept, it really is mainly the data security that’s an issue. The other is that it should be somewhat circumventable, which I think mainly requires it not being tied to identity (so much like you could get someone older to buy you alcohol you could get someone else to verify your age).

What I think is bad is age gating social media instead of doing something about how harmful it is because clearly adults are not immune and all that does is make it harder for children to get important information.

Walking on toes is associated with autism. Maybe because it’s less impact force and also less noise so generally less stuff to deal with.

It’s language specific. In english it comes before the number. In many other languages it comes after.

It does. The switch in some anticheats is to just not require that on linux. Also not all anticheats are kernel-level in the first place.

A lot of the individuals aren’t in there entirely of their own will though. Particularly with BYU, the institution itself is a cancer, but the individual students are really not at fault (at least certainly not all of them). The university portrays itself very differently than it actually is, and you effectively cannot leave the mormon church while you attend (unless you want to get kicked out and have all your time there completely wasted).

I just wanna add for humor and to prove the point that I am not voting blue because blue here is the fashos. Because not everywhere is the US, and if that slogan escapes places where everyone expects US-defaultism, things could get very funny.

Statement: “There is no indication that the human brain cannot be modeled as a turing machine”

To disprove this, evidence to the contrary is required. It’s not at all the same as saying “The human brain can be modeled as a turing machine”. In that case they would need to prove that.

We simply do not know. Humans cling to their idea of somehow being “special” very hard with thought experiments like chinese room, and at all points neglect that there is no evidence that a human brain is actually different.

Generally I’d argue that the continuous nature of animal brains makes them quite fundamentally different from the very much discrete states of anything we program, but that still doesn’t mean it’d be impossible to simulate.

Pharmacies definitely sometimes need to order meds. Though often they just give you a date. It’s impossible to always have every niche medication in stock. But if number whitelisting became common, it just wouldn’t be an issue bc they would give all the relevant numbers to every customer.

Norovirus is resistant to alcohol. That’s part of what makes it so infectious. Not sure about bleach though.

That said iirc it doesn’t survive on surfaces super long so just wait a month or sth

Iirc they removed the “women have to message first” requirement some time last month.

That’s… not the same as being aro at all. It doesn’t mean you feel nothing towards anyone. Just that you’re not interested in romantic relationships at all.

Using it sometimes sure. It’s sometimes better than google at giving me answers, and it’s great at troubleshooting dumb mistakes (or processing large amounts of code for things like security issues, but I don’t do that).

I also have little doubt that ML as a whole will reshape the world much like the WWW did - we do have an awful lot of compute now that could be used for more useful ML applications. But as it’s going, I doubt LLM’s will go much further. More and more people are seeing past the insane promises and realize they’re tools for some specific jobs, particularly once the pricing adjusts the use cases will likely be quite narrow.

Tenet?

I also didn’t think it was that confusing. It was at first, while it was meant to be, but it explained enough that I could understand roughly what went on by the end. Maybe people don’t like not understanding everything perfectly. Though I also don’t remember people hating it, so maybe different movie.

Cats do too if they can go outside. They don’t really like shitting in their own living space.

Most places have laws on this. Often, it is legal to film/take photos, but not to focus on individuals.

Easing local control is what that law was about (and it did think far enough to only include user facing). If there wasn’t a global tendency to move towards surveillance and identity verification I’d be all for it. As it is I have some reservations about slippery slope.

The law doesn’t require identity verification. It requires the OS to provide the age group of the user (set at install) to programs running on the OS. Something that, if adopted widely, would immensely help with allowing parents to control access (i.e. if they decide their kid should be able to see everything, just put them in ths age group for that, similarly they could also do that and manage it the same way as they would now. Or if they’re lazy as many parents sadly are, there is at least some enforcement of age control that someone thought about, without giving up any identifying info beyond an age group). Yes it could be circumvented somewhat easily, but as far as I see it that’s always a feature. A child being exposed to something accidentally has very different implications than actively trying to access it.
