yeah, unless there is a statement sort of like
"We reserve the right to terminate accounts in the case of violation of terms of service as determined by our automated systems"

in which case you would need to go to court and get a determination that clearly that is wrong and they can't do that, in general in American society that's how things work.

>the empirical evidence for masking, especially vs. the new strains, is quite weak

If you're wearing an N95 or KN95 the filtration efficacy is quite high. Most of the mask studies looked at whether mask policies lowered covid.

If you wear a mask in class but then take it off in the cafeteria or outside of school, the mask no longer has an effect.

If, however, you wear a mask with high filtration efficacy while outside of the house, that's a different story. To my knowledge we have no challenge trial of people wearing such a mask when exposed to an infectious agent.

It is folly to ignore the physical mechanism of such masks when reasoning about them, and defaulting to only considering the studies we have, which simply cannot measure efficacy when the mask is worn.

This study on parachutes is a good analogue: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC300808/

The rights holder isn't entitled to stop you from doing what you like; you are entitled, however, to agree not to do things in order to obtain information.

That's what pirating is based on; you've explicitly agreed not to make available content for others when you agreed to purchase the content.

By providing content for pirating, you are breaking your word. Further, by consuming pirated content, you have a reasonable assumption that the person providing you with the pirated content obtained that content through deception, which ropes you in on the culpability of the ethical violation.

Nobody's freedom of speech is violated because nobody has been compelled to do or say anything! Rather, you are knowingly benefitting from the deception of others.
I would think that the "need to pay multiple talented service engineers to be available to fly in on a moment's notice" is reduced when you are talking about a $500k capital expense sitting idle vs $5M. If you are willing to risk let it sit a few days then you can spread the technician cost among a larger pool.

>there's a minimum salary requirement; previously this didn't apply to labour from the EU, now it does

Excuse me but how is this the EU's fault and not the UK's own fault for not enforcing some sort of minimum wages before?

Where I live now in Austria, there are legally require minimal salary bands negotiated yearly by unions for every profession, so no matter where you come from for work, an employer here is mandated to pay you at least that legal mandated salary regardless if you are Austrian, EU or non-EU, just so it's much more difficult for an employer to wage-dump by using desperate migrants.

So, what stopped the UK from enforcing minimum salary bands on all workers instead of going through the extreme self flagelatory route of leaving the EU and loosing out on the EU membership benefits instead? You might say that would have been difficult and complex to implement, but so was Brexit and that came with pain on the side.

To me, most of the issues the UK complained it was suffering because of the EU, like this one and others, were all self inflicted through poor internal policies, as other wealthy nations in the EU did have proper measures in place to not have the issues the UK had, so blaming the EU was UK's lazy way of pointing fingers for it's own pollical incompetence.

>sounds like they got exactly what they wanted

For now maybe, but long term that could be being penny wise but pound foolish. Investors invested a lot in the UK post 2014 because being part of the EU was a big selling point. Who knows how it will play out now that the UK is isolated and with open borders.
I find it somewhat fascinating that in both examples, the final result is more cohesive around a single them than the original idea.
I have an iOS shortcut that anyone can use to do something similar. Install it, name it "What's Overhead", and then you can say "Siri, what's overhead?" and then Siri will speak details on whatever aircraft is closest to you.

Yup, this is the proper use for connecting an appliance. Our washer and dryer are in the house but from my computer I can't hear the dryer, the washer doesn't even make a noise. (Note that we've had these for more than two decades, they're dumb by modern standards.) I've been wondering why somebody doesn't make a smart plug that can send a notification when it's connected appliance draws power in a specified fashion. (Both would be fine by setting a minimum power to activate, then below it for a specified period. Washer: The threshold would be set below the power the agitator draws. The delay would cover the rinse fill time. Dryer: Threshold for the motor that runs the drum, immediate trigger if it stops.)
But if there were nice things then other people would profit from that too. Especially those people [gestures vaguely]. /s

> My data collator ensures that the loss is only calculated based on someone’s response. Predicting who will speak next is relatively straightforward, and we don’t want the model to focus on learning that. Therefore, parts of the conversation where the loss is calculated are highlighted in bold.

If it's so easy, then you don't need to remove it. The model will solve it easily and focus on everything else. At best, you save some parameters and compute, at worst, you are damaging its ability to learn important things like conversational skills or modeling people. When it comes to LLMs, more is more, and trying to hand-engineer the dataset or think for the LLM can backfire in very subtle and difficult to diagnose ways.

> Ok, it is capable of forming coherent sentences. The most noticeable problem is its lack of awareness regarding the context of the conversations which leads to bland and generic replies. The messages lacked any distinct style, feeling quite basic...

> Conversations have become more interesting and engaging, although there’s still a risk of losing context. Russian language performance has improved, but errors still occur. I believe that before fine-tuning for a specific task with limited data, like mine, it would be beneficial to first fine-tune the model unsupervised on a large corpus of Russian texts. Additionally, incorporating common conversation partners’ names as separate tokens might enhance the quality. I wouldn’t say it has turned out to be significantly better than LoRA. It might be more effective to focus solely on a single person and calculate the loss based only on my responses (or someone else’s), instead of trying to learn about each and every conversational partner.

Interesting, thanks. Your mutation tracker isn't enough like "pure" RxJS Observables for my tastes and what I've been doing with my itch, but you captured a few of the things I'm covering in my system and are probably the next closest I've seen to what I've been doing (and I tried to research a deep dive). I think the only other thing is that I took an approach that observable change bindings look different from static HTML-like attributes. I did that in part because that's how Knockout used to do it, and also in part because I think it should better facilitate SSG/SSR/progressive enhancement when I get back around to those ideas (it's not a current priority, but definitely an idea I'm tracking).
GitHub Actions seems to use Azure a lot under the hood; given that they seemed to use AWS for older features (attachments, releases, etc.) it seems likely that it actually needed Microsoft.

> an article from the 1980s that recommended having thieves steal their money if they got too rich. That sounds a bit unfair to me, although maybe it could work as part of a system there they stay at increasingly more expensive lodgings in order to keep their accumulating wealth safe.

IIRC this was a frustration of mine with Rimworld. It was annoying and made wealth very toxic. The more you had, the more frequently (and more powerful) thieves showed up and wrecked your shit.

I didn't even have nice things, I just polished the floors so colonists wouldn't be so miserable with bunker life but apparently that raised collective wealth to the point of inviting raids.
The problem with that is, of course, the lack of consent from the property owner. This is the "entitlement problem"; the options are not listed by asking, "How will I obtain this content?" they're listed by asking, "How will the content provider allow me to consume their content?" Sometimes, the answer is, "There is no way to consume this content."

If the owner of AfterEffects doesn't want to allow students to use their software, that's their right as the property owner. Students have no entitlement to that software. Violating the owner's property rights is an immoral act.

> In addition hot people are just given more latitude than ugly people in terms of social faux pas.

No no, that's exactly the point. If an advance is welcome, it's wasn't a faux pas. If it's not welcome, it's a faux pas. This is true regardless of hotness level.

Are hot people more likely to be welcome to a larger set of people? Sure, that's nearly tautological. But the expected behavior is the same: be sensitive to context, read signals, don't violate boundaries. Hot people and ugly people can both do this (or not.)

Hot people are more likely to find people that are into them. But nobody owes or is owed anything regardless of attraction level, and it's every guy's responsibility not to act like a creep.
It's even more "fun" when it's the same streaming service, but your region is not amongst the blessed ones.

EUIPO nicely published a study recently that very clearly says that it's primarily a service and economic issue. The amount of available service providers and the amount of piracy heavily correlated.
> Obviously this is closer to “littering” than it is to murder

Littering leaves behind something that costs money (effort) to deal with. Trespassing is a better analogy: temporarily using something that doesn't belong to you, in a way that is undetectable if no one catches you in the act.
This looks like the biologist equivalent of not having to mail your punch cards and wait for the results. You still won’t be able to afford one of your own, but your lab probably can.
That's a problem, however, because it presumes an entitlement to content. Maybe there is no way to buy, and that's on purpose. You don't have an inherent right to consume content; that ought to be up to the owner of that content, even if they decide to arbitrarily limit access to their content.

It's up to them, and when you take that decision away from them, you commit an immoral act.

There are plenty more articles about it. This isn’t a Covid denier conspiracy theory or antivax narrative, it was widely reported on throughout 2022 that people were operating under very different definitions of what counts and that some provinces/networks/hospitals/physicians were erring on the side of caution and calling everything short of suicide a Covid death. Quite a few revised their numbers once the media covered it, which is good, but whether that was only reflected on dashboards or was revised downstream I’m not entirely sure.

Agreed, but the reps would also clearly make the other claims as well, if they were valid claims that they could back up.

Or to put it another way, I don't think it's "a lot of smoke", I think it's a campfire that's being claimed as a forest fire.

> they be able to buy a house somewhere else

Yes, after being forced out by the increased taxes they can move somewhere else and buy there.

That's the debate right there. Should we as a society favor the rich newcomer and push out the long-term resident who now has to move somewhere else? Maybe they didn't want to move.

Or should we favor the long-term resident to stay even that means the rich newcomer maybe can't find a place?

I don't disagree, as in that if we achieve school math in a way that is not mere overfitting over a language-based training set, going to more advanced mathematics is definitely conceivable. My problem is that people are talking about solving unsolved conjectures while we are not even in a point where we know how to tackle math at all.

Imo we are not currently in the beginning of an exponential curve re solving math with AI, and def not on the path of AGI. I understand that if one believes that we are on the path to AGI soon then we shall have these math-AI advancements quite soon, but I disagree with the premise.

If there was a guaranteed winning strategy for player 2 it would be contradictory because player 1 could execute it by passing their first turn then using the winning P2 strategy. In that game both players can't be guaranteed to win, so there must be some flaw in P2's supposed guaranteed win strategy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy-stealing_argument

While that's true, it'd be exacerbated by a few things (in theory):

1) These instruments would still need to generate income to cover service costs.

2) Income generated per microscope would be reduced because of increased competition lowering beam time prices dramatically, so downtime is still very bad for microscope facilities.

3) More microscopes spread out over a wider geographical area means more service engineers needed (something I've experienced first-hand being in a state with only 3 microscopes, Thermo has been entirely unwilling to place a service engineer here because they can't cover the costs with just 3 microscopes, despite making probably ~1 million/year in service contracts).

In general, I think reduced costs and increased accessibility are a very good thing, but when VPRs go to do the math on these, I think they still don't make a lot of sense.
