I doubt any monk allows these images to affect their practice, but the sangha (community of ordained monastics) as a whole abides by hundreds of extremely strict rules which are designed to signal to the laity their virtue and comittment to practice. It is absolutely in the interest of the sangha to ensure that the reputation of monastics is protected.

That reputation has been building for thousands of years, and upholding that reputation -- carrying the very sacred teachings of the Buddha in a particularly strict and graceful way -- is very much part of the religious teachings.

Images like these certainly threaten to damage that reputation among less educated laity.

I myself, a convert western Buddhist no less, was surprised and a little disturbed to see these images. I imagine the shock that these images might generate for born-Buddhists and cultural Buddhists would be far stronger, and far more harmful.

Don't forget that monastics depend on the laity for alms -- their literal food, medicine, the material for their dwellings, and the cloth for their robes. The sangha was designed by the Buddha to remain interdependent with the laity. The sangha could literally die out if the laity developed distrust in it.

> social security will very likely be insolvent/cancelled by the time that we're old enough to qualify for it

This is not true, it's propaganda promoted by rich people who want to get rid of social security. It could be eliminated for political reasons, but spreading this idea that it's going to "run out of money" only makes that more likely. The government cannot run out of its own money. It can cause inflation, but continuing to pay social security benefits is not going to suddenly cause massive inflation. The only way social security could end is if politicians and voters decide they don't want it anymore.
A "no" is temporary; a "yes" is permanent.

The whole reason to form the monopoly is to extract that money from the citizens. They have the money, the players merely want it.

> there is nothing in those documents that could pose any significant threat to US national security.

You are saying that because if anyone attacks us with conventional forces we will nuke them/invade them then we have no nation security interest concerning anything in classified documents compiled by our espionage services?

Is this a correct interpretation and if so do you stand by it? If not can you please clarify what you meant?
There is a story and they are reporting it. One, Adobe Stock allows fake images of the war. Two, publications are using those fake images of the war as real images of the war.

I'm from Europe, to me ICE refers to German high-velocity trains. I was not aware the US had an ICE office.
No they did not. They tested GPT-2. GPT-2 is the version that gave us those classic AI Dungeon games that were absolutely hilarious because the model was so dumb that it couldn't follow from one end of a sentence to another.

I think that there are lots of cognitive abilities and characteristics that are missing from LLMs or could have better approaches. But looking at the performance of GPT-2 doesn't "deal a blow" to anything remotely near leading edge.
My Intel NUC was unresponsive and overheating when I came home from work today. It's the second one I have. The first was exchanged because it would overheat and become unresponsive. It doesn't have anything running while asleep except background services and Firefox.

There are several support notes about sleep problems and overheating, so I know I'm not alone.

No combination of BIOS or OS settings should make it possible to overheat while asleep---especially not the defaults! (Notably, overheating occurs equally in Windows or any of the 5 Linux distros I've installed in the past two years.) It's particularly disappointing when the computer is made by the processor company. There's no excuse---no missing documentation or inability to test side effects. Expecting peerless hardware support was THE reason I went with Intel instead of any other small-form-factor PC.

Honestly, at this point, if I want Windows, I'll probably run Parallels on a Mac. I hate Mac. That's where I stand with Intel and Microsoft.

The stock market is a secondary market, there's no "pulling investments", it's just selling stock back on that secondary market. Unless an investor bailing on a stock is so large as to impact the share price or they have influence/seat on the board of directors companies don't tend to give a shit. Even if a big investor sells stocks that doesn't necessarily mean there will be meaningful impacts on share price, the market is irrational.
Its refreshing to see something different than another unreal engine based game. It must be extremely challenging to have your own inhouse engine. The engine is one thing. The tooling to build levels, animations etc is maybe even harder. I guess it also gives some advantages. More control over low level architecture gives you more opportunities to optimize. Harder with a all purpose engine like Unreal. Cant wait to play this game.
Don't PG and Jessica have an investment in OpenAI? I think YC also counts it as one of investee companies. Jessica was one of the founding members. (based on a bit of googling)

If openai were a public company, the amount of shilling YC folks do for OpenAI would have to carry a disclaimer about being an investor.

> We know that transformers can generalize within the training set.

> Of course it can't generalize beyond training - why would it?

4 out of 5 people I discussed this subject didn't know, and even believe that current LLMs are bound within their training set. They claimed that LLMs could synthesize data beyond their training set, and the resulting answers will never be wrong.

There's a large misunderstanding about how these things work, and LLM developers do not spend the effort to fix this misunderstanding since it helps to raise the hype even further.

Wasn't it just two years ago that apple was caught using slaves? And that was after years of their factories and suppliers abusing children and keeping workers in inhumane living and working conditions. I think we can pretty much guarantee that a massive number of people who are intimately familiar with making apple products, including chargers, are living in poverty. Some people at Foxconn were even caught selling genuine apple parts that failed QA to be used in making counterfeit apple products.

That's still a bad argument imo. By that logic there's pretty much no such thing as safe software, in any language. Even Rust links to glibc if you're using std on Linux, as far as I'm aware (you can use MUSL but afaik glibc is the default). Does that mean that there's no such thing as safe software in Rust?

I agree that C has safety issues and we should move away from it. Heck, I'll go further: C is a bad language and the people defending its sharp edges (in particular around UB) have a weird Stockholm syndrome with their language of choice. But it is definitely not categorically untrue that safe C software exists, and I don't think that it helps to fight overly broad claims with overly broad claims.

Pliny speaks of a place in Greece where the wine is so strong is has to be be diluted 20-1. Which makes no sense— wine can’t be that strong. I have a coin from there with a bunch of grapes that look very distinctly like a mushroom.

Wish we could have shit like this in the US but we can't because the EPA and regulators are too busy making bank.
All very correct, and to add to this as someone who's had direct consequences due to my information being sold: we have more sensitive personal information, and that information is more sensitive than that of an average civilian.

The holy Grail of documents is the DD-214, which has every single piece of sensitive personal information a civilian has, all in one place, and we are REQUIRED to keep it indefinitely, to present it under a large number of circumstances. It's a complete identity package; full name, signature, photo, work history, residence history, dates, personal description, mother's maiden name, date of birth, location of birth, name of birth hospital and doctor. Then there's security clearance paperwork, which may be even worse, extensive un-redacted medical records, etc.

All of these documents are viewed hundreds of times by hundreds of people during a military career, scanned, photocopied, emailed, printed, all without any sort of authorization or even knowledge by the service member. It's legitimately scary. And then after you're out, all of this information is managed by the VA by people who have nearly unrestricted access to it, and in my case along with thousands of others, put on a thumb drive and taken home and sold to a broker. It's a life ruiner.

> But Verizon and AT&T customers are also pissed, and are part of a new lawsuit against T-Mobile arguing that the merger raised prices for everybody due to the reduction in overall wireless market competition.

But did it reduce competition compared to where we'd be if there had not been a merger?

Sprint was on the way out. They were likely to go bankrupt and have their assets sold off to AT&T or Verizon. The result would be 3 national carries (just like we got with the merger) but with T-Mobile a distant third.

With the merger, T-Mobile got Sprint's spectrum and became much more viable to many more people as an alternative to Verizon and AT&T. T-Mobile is now the #2 carrier, a little bit ahead of AT&T.

In my view, Java is still the best choice for building any relatively complex web/sass application. For some reason people negatively associate it with "enterprise" software. Enterprise software tends to be very complicated and Java was likely chosen because it is/was the best option at the time. And I'm sure people had bad experiences that they blamed the language for because the problem they were trying to solve was very complex and the leads/architects made poor decisions.

I'm using Java with Quarkus for an enterprise app for the past 2 years as the project lead and I couldn't be any happier with my decision. We're upgrading to Java 21 in a week or two. The code we're producing is some of the most boring/straightforward code I've seen in a long time. Nearly all of our time is spent solving the business problem and the language never gets in the way. The dev experience is outstanding. With Quarkus we get nearly instant hot reloading. IntelliJ provides industry leading IDE. Oracle keeps releasing major enhancements to usability. Excellent ecosystem, testing frameworks, etc. It's hard to find any faults really. Yeah NULL is allowed in the language, but I cannot remember the last time we had a NPE.
