You can make an awesome burger pattie with beef, onion, garlic, a touch of finely chopped jalapeno and some herbs and spices etc. You don't need to add salt.

When I was 18 I got called up for jury duty along with someone with the same name and age. It was confusing. They started referring to us by the suburb we lived in. Luckily both of us got passed over.

Inflation and unemployment are seen as results of demand. They're both regarded as effects. One isn't the cause of the other.

At least in most economic theory... Which is possibly not the best theory to put much weight in, considering how changeable and unproven it is.

That's because your managers aren't that good. If they were they'd be extolling ontological kerygmas like they were the synergistic forward path of the gestalt.

Jeez man, you should probably get a new job if your managers aren't up with the milieu of the now!

That doesn't explain why the protocol matters. Surely for equivalent responses, you need to send equivalent payloads. You shouldn't be able to hack this from the client side.

I may be showing my ignorance here, but wouldn't the ideal situation be for the service to use the same number of tokens no matter what client sent the query?

If the service is using more tokens to produce the same output from the same query, but over a different protocol, than the service is a scam.

I just watched "Good luck, Have fun, Don't die" and I'll put it up as an example of an original story. Definitely of the gestalt, but original.

Cuba is next

There was no urgency in the invasion of Iran. It was done partly because Israel wanted it, and partly as a convenient distraction. Nothing material had changed from the last decade. The US embassy was given instructions to get people out of Israel the day before it happened, and anyone who was paying attention knew exactly what that meant.

Everything that is happening now was publicly predicted and modelled at least a decade ago. Look at Shimon Peres's continual warnings to the world regarding Netanyahu. This was expected and shouldn't be regarded as something novel. Just something abhorrent.

The rich use credit cards because of the added rewards, not because they need credit.

Australia has fairly short fixed term mortgages. There are people who are barely recovering from covid effects on the interest rates. There are many who lost everything. Another bout of "high interest rates are a blunt instrument" could cause serious problems.

Note. This doesn't affect me, and I have strong opinions on the property market in Australia, but I'm pointing out that many people will go to the wall if interest rates are increased again,despite how much I think they may deserve it.

I seriously hope your comment is missing a /s tag!

As someone who has done physical work at the sites of Australian diesel reserves, they aren't designed to last that long.

I do still feel we're better off than most. We can actually offset the price of fuel by reducing the government excise, and even subsidising it. We've done it before. 2 gulf wars, a global oil crisis, general middle east chaos? Australia has typically done better than most.

Would still be good if we had an actual sovereign mineral fund and hadn't sold our gas rights to everyone else, but I suppose we have to live with the stupid shit the previous governments have done.

No, we need to move forward into the retrospective.

Yes, but have you decoded the ontological kerygma of the gestalt. No point synergizing paradigms unless you've got the kerygma sorted.

One of the main arguments against flock is their abysmal security, lack of transparency, and flagrant dishonesty. If they solved these problems then we can have a discussion about the cameras themselves. I personally would have less of a problem with them if the footage was locked down, encrypted and could only be accessed with a subpoena, but law enforcement really want dragnet surveillance, so that's unlikely to occur.

Flock provide more than just ALPRs. They also have systems that track people.

It actually annoys me that people focus purely on the ALPRs when the other cameras are arguably much worse.

Have a sharps disposal container, wear gloves, avoid the pointy bit, sanitise regularly.

Thanks mate, glad I'm not alone doing this.

When my brother and I were young, my parents used to pay us 5 cents for every piece of rubbish we picked up on bushwalks. We got a few dollars to buy the things they would have invariably bought for us anyway, and the walking tracks became, for at least an hour or so, free from garbage.

You, your wife and your daughter sound like wonderful humans, and I wish you all nothing but the best.

That really just increases the processing power required to automate it. VM running Chrome to a virtual frame buffer, point agent at frame buffer, automate session. It's clunky, but probably not that much more memory intensive than current browser automation. You could probably ditch the frame buffer as well, except for giving the browser something to write out to. It can probably be /dev/null.

YouTube Red was released over a decade ago. I haven't watched ads on YouTube for about that long.

The Israeli government has been dehumanising the Gazan population in rhetoric for decades. Claiming that no one would deny their suffering is straight up false. It's not a technicality, it's a deliberate technique.

It's one of the things that could be stopped to prevent us going "around and around and around."

"Nobody serious disputes that Gazan civilians are suffering enormously."

This is blatantly untrue. There are people who are saying there's no such thing as a "Gazan civilian".

Dammit, we got stuck in recursive ambiguity land :-)

The agreement, conveniently, isn't legally binding. It's a gentleman's agreement between utter scoundrels, formed to give a semblance of trustworthiness.

As an Australian, I wouldn't trust it at all. The US government has already asked the Australian government for highly expanded information on Australian citizens, and that's above the table.

Stop believing what these people are telling you. They have an awful track record, and the people making the statements now are even worse than the previous people.

What's stopping the government from using the usual nasty tricks the world has known about for decades?

DPA? All Writs Act?

Force them to comply and then prevent them talking about it with NSLs?

I appreciate that Anthropic may be the least bad of a bunch of really bad actors here, but this has played out before in the US, and the burden of trust is, and should be, really high. I believe that Anthropic don't want to remove the "safety barriers" on their tech being used for domestic surveillance and military operations, but that implies they're ok with those use-cases so long as the "safety barriers" are still up. Not really the best look, IMHO.

So what happens when we all get rosy eyed about Anthropic (the only slightly evil company) winning a battle against the purely evil government, and then the gov use the various instruments at their disposal to just force anthropic to do what they want, and then force them to never disclose it?

Did the world learn nothing from Snowden?

I think you've been listening to the wrong people. That's a whole lot of dog whistles in that screed.

Probably, but I didn't dictate that comment.

>they tend to air on the side of caution

Completely off topic, and for future reference, it's "err" not "air".

Completely fine mistake, stupid homophones and all. Just thought you'd like to know.

Also, these things happen to me all the time if I use voice dictation. I don't trust it because of edge cases like this.
