I have been benchmarking many of my use cases, and the GPT Nano models have fallen completely flat one every single except for very short summaries. I would call them 25% effectiveness at best.

Doesn't the right to make sound in public places extend to the hypothetical users of this app?

I don't think a rights-based framing is the best way to look at this. It's about courtesy and respect for social norms.

I don't see how society is becoming too intolerant, if anything I think we are more tolerant of anti-social behavior than ever before.

This pause does not apply to visitor visas

Capitalists in wealthy countries have absolutely no problem with effectively open borders, that's exactly how they squeeze labor costs

I still have to pay the price whether it's artificial or not

The entire article reads like the introduction to a real essay. I scrolled past the related comments thinking the real meat would be below, only to find the comments. Marvelization of criticism, anyone?

The other patrons are being polite. Very few people love a toddler running riot while they're eating out

I haven't been a permanent immigrant, but I have lived for over a year each in India, China and South Korea, driving in India and South Korea (I'm from the US). I made a lot of social faux pas, but you can bet I did my best to adapt to the rules of the road before I even got behind the wheel.

> Statistically, mentally ill people are far more likely to be victims of violence than to perpetrate it

I think this is one of cases where a broad label like "mental illness" obscures more than it clarifies. There are some subgroups of people with mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar, antisocial personality disorder) who are more likely to commit violence than others, especially when combined with substance abuse. But of course that fact doesn't generalize to all people with mental illness.

I would argue that the immigrant behaving reasonably "for how they were used to driving" is itself unreasonable. When you move to foreign country you have to adjust some things about your behavior. Driving behaviors and anything else with such a strong public safety component should be the most obvious thing to adjust for an adult, without needing to be told.

I know some artisans who have had some success with very micro targeted Instagram ads

If you can see into the future and know the stock price, then sure.

Day laborers at Home Depot are generally undocumented immigrants who hang around in the parking lot hoping to get hired for quick handyman type jobs. This is why they've been a target for ICE raids

Great project, feels like the old web. I'm inspired to take a walk to my local park and add the memorial benches

Not legal

I grew up on a farm, and I can tell you that some pick-up trucks are definitely meant for work, and used that way. Mostly older ones

Most of the time when we people talk about the interests of a country they really mean the interest of a class of people within that country.

It seems unlikely but possible that she was highly sensitive or allergic to the substance in a way that he wasn't

Regulatory capture is not socialism

I have seen this as well. Any nicely formatted medium to long text without obvious errors immediately comes under suspicion, even without the obvious tells

I would think a decent LLM would know the difference between a metaphor and simile, unlike the author

$2k per month for groceries and utilities for a married couple is insanely high, in any part of the country.

> Ten years old being younger than the account had actually existed for, it is 12 years old apparently, might, you would have hoped, set off some Google alarm bells in these days of advanced AI protections, but no.

Good god what happened to editors?

> No llm could pass for a person for more than a couple minutes of chatting

I strongly doubt this. If you gave it an appropriate system prompt with instructions and examples on how to speak in a certain way (something different from typical slop, like the way a teenager chats on discord or something), I'm quite sure it could fool the majority of people

It's a small study and the "knapsack task" probably does not generalize to writing a paper or coding or something. Far from dispositive.

A difference in degree can make all the difference.

This is an absolutely wild theory. 3-4 year-olds can speak in full sentences, and understand quite complicated language

> the environment isn't actively in an arms race against seatbelts.

I would beg to differ. In the US at least, there does seem to be a hidden arms race between safety features and the environment (in the form of car size growth)

Settling does not admit guilt, legally speaking

Burmese food in the US is very different from the food you encounter in the country itself.
