Interesting. Though "ein Paar" is singular, "ein paar" is plural, making it clear from the context in many cases. Curiously, it's not clear in the case where it matters most: "please bring [ein [pP]aar Socken]".
As an engineer, I'd say "please bring ein Sockenpaar" when I mean ein Paar, for clarity, for the low price of people thinking I'm weird.
Technology may give us those means, but we seem prone to use most of those advances to do much more, reducing or even reversing the overall savings.

I suppose some people may imagine a "default apple" when given the prompt which would already have some parameters while others might try recreating an arbitrary apple from scratch in their head which wouldn't be very detailed. The object is only as detailed as you make it in your mind, which might take some creativity if you're not thinking about a specific one you've seen before. If you don't give it colour or smell it won't have any, it'll just be like a generic shape.
It's appears to you this way because you're an insider in software. If you were in hardware, you would believe the opposite.

Nobody is denying that, but that's not the only way to make it better at this task.

There's no way to launder real-life CSAM. If there's a victim, it's a crime, regardless of whether the victim's images went through a ML model or not.

Thank you, I have been looking for a resource like this, one that would come with an RSS feed. Now I have one less thing to hunt around for.
Its a major problem with many of such issues. Some stuff is just really horrible, often even without any clear approach of how to fix it. It then gets even more problematic if people react to this by retreating into easy stories that act as mental fig leaves. Especially once these leads to clearly dysfunctional attempts to solve the issue, making the situation even worse for those effected.
I think I expect all of those to be more or less accurate (for the >= 10 ones).

If someone says a dozen, I would expect exactly 12 (especially if it’s something with very strong collocation like “eggs”). If someone says “a baker’s dozen” I would expect exactly 13. If someone says “score”, I’d be surprised, but given how infrequently it’s used, I’d expect the speaker to be using it accurately, not sloppily.
It's true that anyone can bring a prosecution. It's also true that the Crown Prosecution Service can take over a private prosecution, and then drop the case.

Obviously, the CPS should have done this in the Post Office case. During the relevant period, the CPS was underresourced and overloaded (it still is now).
All I'm saying is that you are not alone. Many of us have had the same doubts and found the experience to be (very) positive.

No it's not coming back, something else will have a reminscient feel of the freedom, exploration, hype and Witness to something realy exciting that computing did at the start. This event won't happen for quite a while.

We got to experience. The only options you have is to capture your experience in some media, books, film, spoken tradition, ect. Or keep the fond memories of the golden age in your mind, revisiting them to precent them from fading.

"I have little time" and "time commitment is not an issue" feel a bit contradictory to me.

Anyway, what worked for me:

1- go to places where people hang regularly and have a chance to speak: climbing gym, diving club, a quite bar with game nights etc... Be ok to just making friends and see how/if that evolves

2- pay for dating apps, contrary to what people may tell you here. your time is precious and paying will allow you to skip some of the silly mechanics such as cool-down periods or gambling like mechanics (looking at you tinder!)

Edit (more thoughts on dating apps) don't overthink a match or a swipe, they're equivalent to a look from across the room in a pub.
If your eyes itch then it's clearly an evolutionary advantage to scratch them. Checkmate doctors. /s

I don't think there is a viable alternate system. If you have a look at past history, societies and ideas and values come and go. They rise and then they collapse. This is just the way it is.

With that said if I had to propose an idea, I would provide money to people to have children. Have the state subsidise it. Provide stay at home mums with a decent income. Fundamentally however, that will create all sorts of issues, because it doesn't change the fact that money still controls society.

Fundamentally, I think the issue is that society no longer has a set of values to propel it forward. In the past, I think values were an extension of nation (and whatever culture that entailed). Now, that value is money. Which is creating all the distortions we're seeing today.
> there's nothing whatsoever to suggest that consciousness plays a role in intelligent thought itself

Well, there is in that both appear to arise from brain activity.

The brain evolved in animals for just one reason: to drive or suppress muscular contraction activity in the individual. [0] Trees don't need this kind of information processing system (which is to say, intelligence), and so would have no use for a brain.

It seems unlikely that consciousness is possible in the absence of any form of intelligence or information processing. The only kind of consciousness we know, appears to be 'along for the ride' as a byproduct of the brain activity.

> there's nothing whatsoever to suggest that consciousness plays a role in intelligent thought itself

I agree that it would be a reach to claim that all kinds of advanced information processing must necessarily give rise to consciousness.

Mathematical verification of both hardware and software should be mandatory, at least as long you rely on it for the law. Simple as that.

In America, salads are much more difficult to find — let alone good ones. They're also priced accordingly, thanks to the magic of supply and demand.

So, even after an epic lunchtime quest of hunting/gathering, you might end up out 20-30 bucks for a depressing pile of iceberg lettuce, croutons, and shredded cheese. (In America, this is often called a "Caesar salad." Yes, really.)

Even if you do happen to be in the rare neighborhood that has a good salad connection, you're still committing to spending your lunch break furiously chewing raw vegetables in whatever few minutes you have left after running to go get your meal. This is what I did every day for months when I worked in an office, but let's not pretend it's ideal.

The dream would be fresh, cooked vegetables, so that one could get the best bioavailability. [1] But that is largely a fever dream, even in major cities. For example, I can count on 1 hand the number of restaurants I know where I could order a simple plate of steamed/roasted broccoli for less than 20 dollars.

Gerrit works really well. Github could adopt that tool..
Idk about Europe, but the US has a lot of so called "food deserts" where fresh food is miles away (like 20miles /32 km or more). These areas aren't just rural but often in poorer areas of Major cities and population centers. Plus, premade salad that isn't just lettuce can be relativily expensive.
Yes, because they're primed for it. People make the bad choices they're constantly encouraged to make.
Although that’s typically true, a lot of very natural ingredients also have “E numbers” (as we call them in the UK).

For example, E164 is saffron, E290 is carbon dioxide, E901 is beeswax, E913 is lanolin.

Loads of others are also extracts of natural products.
Stable or declining population is not intrinsically a problem. For example, many environmental issues just go away if there are substantially fewer people.

The problem is that we currently have a system built on the assumptions of growing population and growing GDP and 1) it's not clear how to adapt and 2) most people have their head in the sand. Conventional (neo-liberal) economics hasn't exactly been an outstanding success so there is no reason to continue to follow that model, but our political processes are very myopic so it's hard to get the long term planning needed to change.
Also ESL, I've always considered "a couple" to mean "a loose two". It could be three, maaaaybe four, but if you've gotten to five, you're pushing it.

This sounds to me like you connected to a network on your laptop and cloned an "internal" repo that downloaded something (no different to. Pip or Npm do the same thing.

And that your mail client saw a new IP and treated it as a new session? I think assuming you were hacked based on this is paranoid.

> To proceed… with hacking?

Or maybe, they didn't have a laptop for you to use (which is stupid, don't get me wrong) so they couldn't do the next stage unless you had a device. Given you had to use it for the first step, it doesn't seem unlikely.

If they wanted to "hack" you, they didn't need to fly you out, they just needed you to clone the repo and run the script.

A one-line Bash script can claim to be conscious, but offers no insight whatever into the nature of consciousness.

We've known for some time that general anesthetics can suspend consciousness. 'Neural correlate' studies give a more detailed understanding of the relationship between brain activity and consciousness. These are of limited value to philosophy of consciousness, though. AI experimentation strikes me as having even less applicability.
A very common problem is bugs caused by cosmic radiation if you want an example. But bugs in silicon are also not rare and really difficult to catch. You really got to stick your neck out and hope you can actually proof that through stuff like debugging with electron microscopes. Especially if it becomes an issue of responsibility between different departments. The monetary stakes make this all the more difficult.

Hardware bugs are simply capsuled better so people dont recognize them as such. Its the same mechanism at play as for people who assume software normally functions. They are also just unaware of the inner working.

Stuff is just really complicated and people should manage their expectations. I get that going from assuming to have a solid base to no such thing existing is difficult to handle but there is no sensible way around that. Not doing so gets you stuff like the article.
