> I feel like you're identifying two distinct issues here - preventing you from commenting on posts, and preventing you from seeing them at all.

The second issue you mentioned is part of a broader legal issue about the degree to which the government burdens access to the government's speech. The question is not just "can you still access the speech through legal means?" but also "how difficult did the government make it for you to access the speech?"

If you get blocked then you don't see the posts unless you're logged out. This is due to the platform's implementation of blocking, but there it doesn't eliminate the First Amendment question about whether you can see the post. In order to know that a government official made a particular post you would have to periodically visit the government official's account page while logged out. If you weren't blocked you could have gotten notifications sent to wherever, or you could've watched your own feed at your leisure without having to check the official's account page like a hawk. By blocking you under these conditions, the government official would place a significant burden on your access to the speech (a First Amendment violation), even if the prohibition on access is not a complete block.
Segregating everyone into insular pockets of the like-minded just feeds ignorance, intolerance, and group-think. We shouldn't force beliefs on everyone, but we should reject ignoring facts or replacing them with beliefs.

There's a lot to be said for giving all children a baseline level of education based on fact so that everyone understands the world and the large problems we have and so they will know how to work together to face them.

The kids who are only ever taught that the world is 6,000 years old and flat, that women are inferior, that evolution is a lie, that global warming isn't real, or that gay people cause hurricanes are going to be at a substantial disadvantage in many areas of their lives and they will hinder efforts to resolve conflicts, to coordinate when necessary, and to reach general consensus.

> The idea that authors, artists and other creatives will keep pumping original work as part-time love affairs so that AI bros can grab it and mint a dime is... strange.

I make a painting. I display it. My neighbor sees the painting, studies it for a while, goes home, and makes a painting based on what he learned from mine. People still enjoy my painting, still credit me with making it, and if they like it might still pay for a copy. My neighbor, having devised a way to make paintings really quickly, sells paintings for cheap. Can I send him a bill because he's making money based on something he learned from me?

Granted, a lot of this boils down to whether AI learns or copys/remixes; if it only creates what copyright law would consider derivative works, then that's another matter.
> 1. I could not list the home in MLS as That system requires annual fees to use and you need to have a realtor license.

Additionally, if you were to decide to list "For Sale by Owner" and market it yourself, you can submit it to the major aggregators (Zillow et al), but their contracts with the MLS systems often disallow them from mixing MLS and FSBO listings in the same search result set, so the FSBO listings are hidden behind a toggle or something and go unseen by the great majority of people browsing.
This is really good news for actual real players in the coworking space. Being disruptive with venture money conceivably helps new offerings along, but in this case it was never anything but a massive fraud that distorted the entire market.
Upvoting this because I love innovation in this space, and I use both ROS and LLMs daily. Kudos on the work here, I can see value for developers trying to break into ROS in particular.

That being said, and I might just need to try it out to understand, but it's not clear to my why this tool would be better than just talking to ChatGPT directly. Particularly GPT-4. There's the guided workflow aspect, but even that I could probably emulate by copying the description from this article and asking GPT-4 to do the same. It might just require more manual copying and pasting.
That second point is something that drives me CRAZY. For years I would keep YouTube or Twitch streams open on the second monitor. Now I deal with constant fps loss, video stutters or freezing. Absolutely bizarre regression in performance.
I disagree. I listen to a podcast about linguistics by John McWhorter (one of the people who signed this thing). He's gone on a few tangents about cancel culture, describing some really ridiculous situations where colleagues of his got fired by their university, or where speakers were 'deplatformed' on the flimsiest of pretexts. In his opinion, this has created a culture of fear within universities, where professors are terrified of losing their whole livelihood based on an overreaction or misunderstanding, which is stifling debate and discussion.

A quick look at X shows he hasn't posted there since 2021. I don't see any other social media profiles in the Google results for his name. So why is he signing this thing, if the real reason for it is to force Twitter to promote tweets or whatever?

That's just picking a name at random. I suspect there's a variety of motivations, and I think at best a handful are driven by a desire to get more attention on Twitter.
Who says this is the most interesting?

It’s a factor, but the article doesn’t claim it’s paramount. What makes you think this is so important?
The first one is a choice, and a lousy one if you ask me.
"would have" I believe you meant.

There's no way even GPT-3.5 fails to solve that ridiculously simple piece of arithmetic. Honestly I'd be surprised if GPT-2 got that wrong. GPT-4 can single-handedly solve vastly more difficult math problems, even though it's handicapped by being merely a language model.

Your kid has a right to education, you don't get to deny them that right. It's funny how rugged individualism seems to end with self and extend to happily stomping on others.
> Society will not be a better place for your kids if they are individually 10% better but 10% of the children born in the US basically have no access to education.

But that's not how they think. They believe the bottom 10% deserve their hard lives.

Capitalism needs an oppressed class to function.

The people on top write laws to ensure the oppressed class will exist. Then they sell it to the middle class using scary stories of crime, religion, etc.
It's true that there's scope for an alternate MLS that's just for sale by owner listings. But as someone else mentioned, the buyer often uses an agent (I refuse to use the made-up word "realtor") and you'll have to pay that fee anyway. Unless, that is, your listings site provided handholding to do away with the buying agent. To handle the paperwork, a notary and/or a lawyer is necessary but the site could either provide those services for cheap or detailed instructions on how to proceed if you want to use your own notary/lawyer. It's simple enough. It turns out that the main function of a real estate agent is to simply ferry paperwork back and forth between the clients and the lawyers. You can just as easily do this yourself (we did and saved a lot).
Once on a long road trip back in undergrad, my friend and I ended up thoroughly confusing ourselves by trying to decipher what "success" in dating actually means.

1 date? 10 dates? Marriage? Marriage without a divorce? Marriage despite a divorce?

You ask anyone off the street and they'll say "Yeah, of course I want a successful relationship; I don't want an unsuccessful one". But we can't seem to agree on a good definition.

We never came to a conclusion on that road trip and I still don't have a satisfying answer. $FLAVOR_OF_THE_WEEK promises "success" implicitly, but we never ask then what they mean by that.

Maybe it's really just an opportunity to ask "what do I _really_ want?"
> Can you make me a copy?

If I am a decent human artist who's looked at many Picasso works and spent time studying how to reproduce his style?

Of course I can.

Artists copy each other's styles all the time, dude. You can literally go to Deviant Art (or wherever), scroll through, and point out examples of style copying, often much more glaring that anything I've seen out of a diffusion model.
Propaganda has real world consequences. If it didn't, then people wouldn't spend so many resources creating it.

>why do I need your permission when deciding how I educate them

Your kid has a right to education, you don't get to deny them that right. It's funny how these arguments are all "don't tread on my right to tread on my kid."
My argument is that it's not a factor, at all.

The kinds of problems we'll all be facing at that point makes the entire discussion surreal.
Does it generate the same result for everyone who enters the prompts? (Not an AI guy here)
You're right. Understanding how a WW3 would affect investors is of utmost importance. Who cares about death, destruction, radiation and stuff. The most important thing is protecting the investments.

A lot of sociopaths on this site.
Sometimes they’re built next to hydroelectric dams and use the entire power output of the dam. Usually with long term power contracts that are more about constant load than consuming excess peaks (having a larger base load is more of an old school energy efficiency benefit, having users for variable loads is the future)

They don’t shut down entirely because the aluminum has to stay molten at a thousand degrees, but they can scale the energy usage significantly, this is becoming more of an interest in the last decade.

Saudi oil money.
Schools are one area where there's a lot of money involved, it's a direct service to normal people, and those people actually can do a pretty good job without the school (not saying that everyone can or that it's easy).

Some communities highly dissatisfied with their police attempted to defund and/or defunded their department. That's not a great example because self-service policing doesn't work very well, but it's kinda close.

Ultimately, if you want the voters' money, you need to convince them that you at least won't use it against them. And it's really easy for people to start thinking that it's being used against them when engaging in culture war or political issues.

Hi! I'm the creator of the site. Thanks for pointing this out! The number of animations has grown over time, and I didn't realize how big the size has gotten. Do you have an idea in mind for how you'd like the site to behave? E.g., static images that play when you click/tap on them? Sections that are hidden until you expand them? Other ideas? Thanks!

I feel like you didn't read the article. The article is not about profits or millionaires building bunkers. This is about whether markets are good at predicting a future war. Looking at WWI and WWII suggest they aren't, and we could be a lot closer to WWIII than current market stability suggests.
I like that it provides sources, but I have to check them EVERY time because too often it hallucinates bogus solutions or protocols for me. I'm asking network questions, though, not asking for code snippets. I've had it hallucinate powershell modules as well. If you're willing to check it's work, then its useful maybe.
Did IPX run on ARCnet? I remember ARCnet being popular in the DOS world.

I'm not even sure CSS animations can go above 60fps, and am unsure why you'd think it would be faster / slower on a different refresh rate screen: CSS transitions are defined by time, not frames.
You really can't be more efficient than that model of using the existing resources.

It’s only “efficient” because it doesn’t have to scale. Add non-wealthy kids into the mix. Add children with learning disabilities. All of a sudden, homeschooling fails a massive chunk of the population.

Public education has served the US well for most of the post-WWII era. Let’s fix it, not abandon it.
Here's an example: I have one workload that needs more RAM because it will parse some big CSV. So this is in its own lambda with different memory settings.

Another example could be permissions granularity (each lambda can have its own IAM role). For example one of your lambdas could have access to something in Secrets Manager.

There are also disadvantages to this approach, for example build times and deployment times.
> For several years NAR has been fending off accusations by U.S. antitrust officials and private litigants that it has conspired to keep home-sale costs high in the face of major technological upheavals. This verdict is by far the group’s biggest setback yet.

Buying or selling a home involves paying numerous middlemen thousands of dollars without having a clear idea what value they are providing in the process, except that if you don't pay them, you can't pay the next person in the line. Burn that whole industry to the ground as far as I'm concerned.
You ever try playing a competitive shooter on controller without aim assist? It's not really doable, especially when playing against KB+M

"Why artificially limit yourself by playing a shooter with a controller?"

Because I want to sit comfortably in my chair. Because I much prefer the hand/wrist feel of a controller. Because my hands don't work well enough for mouse gaming. Because I'm choosing to play a game where the majority of players are on controller also with aim assist.

Also, at a high level, aim assist is a mechanic like any other that you can learn and use to your advantage. In CoD, good players will swipe their gun around from the hip to see if their aim slows down at all, can help detect players through walls or just dark corner campers

That'd be a great counter example if any of it were factually true.

Hamas is the elected government of the Palestinians and it's planks include the extermination of the Jews wholesale, whether in Israel or elsewhere. Part of why Israel was created is because.. a large group of Muslims was attempting to enact an extermination of the Jews (and did kill quite a few).

Israel is not an apartheid ethnostate in any sense of those words and you do dishonor to actual apartheid and ethnic conflicts even by a comparison. Gaza itself has a luxury car dealership[1]!

Not only do non-Jews have equal rights in Israel but it's one of the few countries in the middle east where Arab women have a legal right to vote and free travel without an escort.

Yes.

> What part of 'sticks and stones' did you not understand?

I don't believe in the 'sticks and stones' part. Even if I did, it's not something I have to concern myself with—if I do, everything becomes futile anyway.

WW3 doesn't have to mean the end for all civilization.
No, it won't. There's a big random element to this, especially when you are prompting GPT-4 directly through the ChatGPT interface.

Image generation models can sometimes produce the exact same image if you fix the seed they are using - there are different procedures for doing that for different image models.

LLMs like GPT-4 can have their "temperature" dialled down, but even at 0 they aren't guaranteed to return exactly the same response to a given prompt. I believe this is because they run floating point operations in parallel across multiple GPUs and floating point arithmetic isn't actually commutative - you can get back a slightly different result if the multiplications run in a different order.

Before nukes, with conventional weapons... sure... with enough nukes... we're all fucked, no matter how far away from the targets you are.
Sorry, I meant the animation might look too fast, psychologically. The frame rate changes how we perceive movement.
Always instructional how eager a lot of people are to not pay artists.

I'm guessing the mood will be less celebratory when we can stop paying most programmers.
Parsing the question as:

- a broker with a client who is selling

- to pitch buying to another broker who has a client who is buying

- and for the brokers to work for the same company

It sounds obviously ethical
Yikes. Sitting at a WeWork right now... Love it, I often have an entire floor jus to myself. Many locations are ghost towns, some have entire floors shut down.
Fair enough, if that's is so, there's even less of a case to be made. The person inputting variables (i.e a prompt) into the model that prints out non-fair use outputs would be at fault. The end work would be the actual object subject to litigation. It's just a tool then. The current system still stands then.

Arguing a trained model is infringing would then be like arguing the manufacturers of my monitor were infringing as it contained the very same RGB.as the artist.

The public school system isn't doing that for our fellow citizens already. I fail to see why it would be worse if the failure happens at home rather than in a government building.
We're not talking about running bare metal in your garage but paying Hetzner or alike 2,50 Euro/month so you're independent from the shenanigans of the automated, AI-"improved" systems of Google. That's a fair price to pay if you value your electronic communication abilites.
> that is an acceptable price to pay in order to cut off funding to terrorists and other criminals.

You're offering to increase the stick, what's the carrot for the people/corporation losing everything ?

Making the punishment bigger also means victims have stronger incentives to work closely with the terrorists so the whole thing never gets public or never gets labelled as a ransom.
It's a bug...
Despite the headline, this article is not about profits to investors. It's asking if markets are good at predicting future wars. Research suggests they aren't.

Markets were flying high right up until the start of WW1, despite the underlying tensions growing for years before hand. This means we could be closer to a future war than the current market suggests.

Please read the article, not the headline.

The frustrating thing is that, at least around me, a lot of local places got rid of their delivery staff/infrastructure over the past few years. Not just restaurants that wouldn’t have had delivery prior to DoorDash et al. pizza and Chinese takeouts fired all their delivery drivers and took online ordering off their websites to be replaced with a link to Grubhub or whatever. So now if you want to order delivery around here you basically have to use these apps or go to one the larger chains that has terrible food but eschews them like dominoes.

I just cook at home now. Occasionally I’ll pick up food. I refuse to support these garbage companies and when I have my (very expensive) food shows up cold almost always anyway.
Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and most of the Chinese east coast are first class, first rate cities with a very high standard of living and modern infrastructure. You'd think you were in Japan, South Korea, or the US. It's really come a long way since the 1970s. It's not at all as I pictured it growing up. It does get poor outside the cities however. It does have its issues that we all know about. But in terms of appearances, it's 9/10 at least. And if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. China has almost always been a power base through its entire history.
