Yeah, that could lead to pre-mature flaking of the wax. But the question is, is it closer to 200 miles, or the average time most people do between lubes (I do the shorter of 500 miles, every season, or if I went on a nasty wet ride).
What we are talking about is the act of reading and/or learning and then using that information in order to synthesize new material.
Sure, but that's not what LLMs are doing. They're breaking down works to reproduce portions of it in answers. Learning is about concepts, LLMs don't understand concepts, they just compare inputs with training data to provide synthesized answers.
The process a human goes through is distinctly different from the process current AI goes through. The process an AI goes through is closer to a journalist copy-pasting quotations into their article, which falls under fair use. The difference is that AI will synthesize quotations from multiple (many) sources, whereas a journalist will generally just do one at a time, but it's still the same process.
I just played Pony Island last night, and I might go through and get the tickets, we'll see.
I also installed a few games as well, so I'll probably play a couple of them:
- Hell Pie
- Yakuza 3
- Lair of the Clockwork God
- Euro Truck Simulator
And then I have a few that I'm partially done with that might get some attention. I'm taking next week off for a family trip, so I don't have to be as responsible about getting to bed at a reasonable time this weekend. :)
If I can work through enough of them, I'll allow myself to buy some more this Steam sale. I have way too many games, so I'm trying to finish (with a loose definition for finish) more than I buy. So far I haven't bought many at all this year (maybe 2?).
The hot wax was gone from the chain in under 200 miles.
Wow, that makes it functionally useless imo. My current approach is really simple:
- Clean chain with a cleaning tool - 1-2 min
- Rinse and dry with a paper towel - 30s
- Add oil lube and dry with a towel - 30s
I do that whenever I remember (and check the chain stretch), and it seems to work pretty well. I keep a bottle of Simple Green for cleaner and dilute ~50/50, then lube with whatever my LBS sells. It seems to do a pretty good job...
And this is why I hate those laws that are intended to protect kids. Yeah, it would be nice if kids couldn't see stuff they shouldn't, but it's even better if my PII isn't stolen. I'd rather my kids accidentally see porn once in a while than for their identity to be stolen.
I just watched this on Audit the Audit, so good on this guy for following up. The video was incredibly obvious that the cop was in the wrong. Basically, the video went like this:
- Cop pulls Greg over for allegedly giving the middle finger, and the cop terms it a "welfare check" (no other violation); after the stop, Greg allegedly cussed at the trooper as he left (not loud enough to be picked up on body cam)
- Greg pulls away and it's obvious from cop dashcam footage that he's not impeding traffic in any way; cop then pulls Greg over again for impeding traffic
- Cop orders him out of the car, apparently has called backup, and arrests Greg for obstruction (Greg repeatedly asks what crime he committed, and is not told about impeding traffic)
The first may have been retaliatory (not clear, cop may have been able to defend it as a welfare stop), but the second absolutely was retaliatory and blatantly illegal. I'm surprised the award was only $175k and nothing more happened because it was a clear violation of Greg's constitutional rights, which have been clearly defined through case law to include criticism of the police.
Screw this cop and the entire department that allows this nonsense. This was also on Christmas, which makes it so much worse...
“I was disrespectful,” Bombard conceded of that cold day in 2018. “I don’t think I should have been arrested for it, though.”
Disrespect is protected speech and has been enshrined in case law, and police are expected (again, in case law) to be held to a higher standard than the average citizen. So middle fingers and profanity are absolutely protected speech, just don't commit any actual crimes while expressing yourself because the police will look for a way to arrest you if you're doing that. And there are a lot of technicalities (e.g. when you need to identify yourself, what constitutes a "lawful order," and what "disturbing the peace" means). So if you're driving, drive the speed limit, keep your plates updated, etc if you plan to give police the bird.
By quality I meant resolution, I don't need 4k, but I do need specific shows my wife and kids like.
I have a NAS set up with some movies and whatnot, so I've talked to my wife about setting up a budget to purchase content we want and then cancelling our streaming services. So we'd be limited to what's available on DVD/Blu-Ray, but most of what my wife and kids watch are still available there.
The cost isn't the issue, I really hate ads and I'm worried ad-free tiers will go away (or become unreasonably expensive).
I disagree that it needs to be explicit. The current law is the fair use doctrine, which generally has more to do with the intended use than specific amounts of the text/media. The point is that humans should know where that limit is and when they've crossed it, with motive being a huge part of it.
I think machines and algorithms should have to abide by a much narrower understanding of "fair use" because they don't have motive or the ability to Intuit when they've crossed the line. So scraping copyrighted works to produce an LLM should probably generally be illegal, imo.
That said, our current copyright system is busted and desperately needs reform. We should be limiting copyright to 14 years (as in the original copyright act of 1790), with an option to explicitly extend for another 14 years. That way LLMs can scrape comment published >28 years ago with no concerns, and most content produced >14 years (esp. forums and social media where copyright extension is incredibly unlikely). That would be reasonable IMO and sidestep most of the issues people have with LLMs.
I just played through Pony Island and really enjoyed it. It doesn't have much replayability, but it's a unique experience that I think most will enjoy. If you like Doki Doki Literature Club, Undertale or Inscryption (last is the same dev), you'll like this.
I'm going to be picking up The Hex because I've liked the dev's other two games.
I didn't have any respect for him before, and now I guess I have disrespect.
Idk, it probably depends on where you ride. I mostly ride on dry bike paths, and I always store my bike inside. If I were riding on wet roads/muddy paths, I'd probably lube more often.
