> Very important to qualify (through studies) whether this is the cause of rheumatoid arthritis, or just one of a number of precipitating things. The answer will tell us whether treating/preventing Subdoligranulum is a silver bullet, or whether, like cancer, we have a lot more work to do.

A subsequent study[0]—albeit with a very small sample size—“proves the causative relation between … periodontal pathogens and RA.” (Or at least flares thereof.)

In what way(s) does training a language model make the world worse?

Food for thought: Under what license did you publish this comment?

Writer/Artist/Dev: “I think publishing this work will improve the world in some way. I’ll put it out there on the public internet for all the world to see for free.”

AI Model Training: *processes said work.* This will improve the world!

Writer/Artist/Dev: Noooo! Not like that!

How does that hold in the case that connections among neurons exchange state information via subatomic particles?

> Using AI as a tool to create art takes nothing away from anyone who spent time learning a skill or craft that they use in their own pursuit of expression.

Except all those artists’ art being used without their consent to train these models that subvert the exclusivity of their style, or obviate their work altogether. It ingests their literal effort and eliminates other humans’ need to put forth a similar level of effort.

I’m all for cool new tools, but this is very much like the invention of digital sampling, and models should be required to “clear” all the works that they “sample” for training.

Oh look, a racist dog whistle.

Reminds me of Douglas Adams’s description of where the Aliens posted their plans to bulldoze Earth:

“But the plans were on display…”.

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

I would hope they’re training it to recognize and not suggest API keys. I would emphasize that as an explicitly important part of its initial definition-of-self/prompt.

Seems like an attempt at a technical solution to a human problem.

My most-frequent swapped-order experience is from couriers running for multiple dispatchers. Rather than getting my order from DoorDash for Jake A, I got one from UberEats which was for Jack H…

My name gets read incorrectly as “Jack” all the time, for whatever reason, and I imagine something like that happened with that one.

Until/unless it’s economically viable for couriers to run one order at a time, for one dispatcher at a time, these kind of swaps are going to happen.

My semi-educated guess is verifying server status to know which endpoints are available.

Pick one instance of ‘to’ and delete the other. :)

We kind of see it in transportation once more, with the ICE and EV sides of the automobile world.

If only there were some way to, say, unify the—to use your word—employees as some sort of collective unit, so that the—again, your word—ruling class has a little less power to reap all the reward.

Wonder how it applies, if at all, to credit unions.

How many of those shifts does she work in a week?

This isn’t an AI. It’s just an LLM.

It’s just doing what it does best: guessing what text would be most appropriate next.

It doesn’t have any capability to do anything else other than that, despite its hallucinated claims otherwise.

“Incredibly short-sighted” concisely describes all the Hasbro execs in two words.

The Magic site has been running more or less for 25 years, and due to WotC being a game company rather than a web content company likely has a shit ton of tech debt. Rather than “pay down” that “debt” the right way, they’re going to “write it off” and only modernize a small fraction of their content.

Because they have zero actual intellectual investment in their business, haven’t ever played, or been involved, and thus have zero idea of how much value they’re destroying.

Hasbro and their injected pointy-hairs don’t care about hardcore fans. Or fans. Or players. Or even the odious non-playing collectors. Or the game. Or it’s history. Or their workers.

All they care about is how much more money they can wrong out of their cash cow.

I’ve been running https://rlhitboxes.com for quite a while.

It’s stupid-simple, but handy. Built it when I couldn’t find the answers anywhere else. (Pysonix/Epic have since make the info more readily available, so I’m not sure how long I’ll continue.)

Yeah, the racist whites (edit: as opposed to the non-racist ones) didn’t ask for CRT, so they consider it an “unsolicited theory”.

> It's not an infinitely growable market

This needs to be said more often about more markets.

The product didn’t sell out. Sales were merely stopped after 30 minutes.

Gotta protect that exclusivity.

You seem to really hate the single menu… How often are you interacting with the menus of multiple applications simultaneously?

What’s the point of a keyboard in a GUI OS, then? You can just copy/paste any text you need.

Just because you can stand on your right leg doesn’t mean your left leg is useless. Learning to work with keyboard shortcuts together with your point-and-click skills will make you more efficient.

A window isn’t an application.

Just like a terminal isn’t an OS, a function isn’t a program, a web page isn’t a web site.

Being able to deal with each independently has value.

I can’t think of a single kind of situation requiring a police response where surprise escalation is a key component that will help solve that situation in favor of controlled investigation and a focus on de-escalation.

I kinda get where they’re coming from. Those kinds of companies are really rare. Generally management wants to squeeze as much out of labor as humanly possible, to the point where they demand exclusive access to one’s entire labor availability.

The fact that xxEightyxx has found not one, but two companies willing to pay six figures for a functionally part-time employee is pretty mind-boggling.

The real genius is in why these customers want it. And that is, to paraphrase John Mulaney, “the everything about it”.

This is why there’s no longer a HomePod, but there are HomePod minis.
