I also unchecked "Show Scores" and "Show Upvotes". Thinking about numbers on this kind of site is miserable.

What a waste, make all these people spend years of their lives building a whole videogame and then immediately make it impossible for anyone to ever play it again. A company shouldn't have the right to erase a game from existence, even if it is a bad one.

Nothing Kairos is saying is misinformation though. Temperature applies randomness to a generated probability distribution for tokens. That doesn't mean the probability distribution wasn't generated deterministically. That doesn't mean the randomness applied couldn't be deterministic. How they describe it working is accurate, they don't need to prove their qualifications and knowledge of jargon for that to be a good argument, and by focusing on that aspect of things in a way that doesn't contradict the point, you are making a bad argument.

What's lost is the question of what determinism even means in this context or why a property of being deterministic would even matter. It is unclear how being deterministic or not deterministic, by any definition, would have anything to do with how good a LLM is at making correct medical decisions, like the person starting this comment chain was implying.

Showing that someone hasn't answered your quiz question correctly isn't a great way to make an argument.

Forcing everyone to use an approved OS is draconian.

I agree, but my point is that it wouldn't be that easy to do either. I am hopeful that a system where servers take the OS's word for it that you are in a certain age category would not smoothly transition into one where they also need proof that the owner of the hardware cannot decide that category, and that the system working this way would be accepted as a long-term status quo like those age selection menus were, because it would be actually a bit more effective at stopping kids who don't know how to reinstall an OS so legislators could plausibly claim they did something without extra changes.

I like how well all these drawings fit together. Also the underwater spiky ballsack

I thought it was weird that ENS was not mentioned, found this interesting argument in the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alternative_DNS_root#ENS_removal, apparently it has been censored. Edit: I guess that was a pretty long time ago though

What about GPS devices that are not phones

Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.

I think you're right, since it's a lot of duplicated work if everyone has to do these filtering tasks for themselves, so blocking isn't an ideal solution here.

I've heard a lot about how cheap and effective solar + battery tech is getting, will a new nuclear plant even still be worth it to operate after the ten years or whatever it takes to construct?

I wonder if there has been a shift in attitudes about this sort of thing as a reaction to the increasing generational wealth gap.

I feel like this is a pretty good "in media res" page

 

I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it's not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
