Yes.

Nah. See how you said "where do you draw the line" and then proceed to just ignore drawing the line? I'm ok with drawing a line. There doesn't have to be logic or reason behind it. That's where I draw it; the repositories and websites and apps that I distribute.

Go try to make Midjourney generate a nude image of someone. Its extremely difficult. You'd have to be extremely intentional and, frankly, malicious. I've never seen it happen.

The way this article is written, it sounds like the user just uploaded a photo and it happened. So, what kind of prompting are they using which led to this? Also: They said they don't have a copy of the image, but that's extremely hard to believe just assuming how systems like this would be designed; the image has to be served from somewhere, are they seriously purging the images from e.g. their storage buckets that quickly? Possible, but hard to believe; of course, they'd say "oh we don't have a copy" if they investigated, found it doing this, and just wanted the story to die.

Or, we could do as you want, and just sweep this under the rug. Nothing to learn. No one to blame. Just a quirky little thing that happened! So quirky! A state gambling office manufacturing pornography of random people to sell lottery tickets! Quirky and fun!
It is a cat and mouse game my chemist friend told me. There are thousands of compounds not in the public spot light. If one becomes bad like BPA, they just switch to some slightly different compound.

There are still health concerns with the different compounds, but not the FDA has to catch up and that takes years.
you're saying this is a good thing

I don't think the parent comment said that. They just said that the rules were set this way deliberately, and that it's not just a loophole, which is an interesting and informative thing to point out.

I don't like the outcome, nor do I like the system that enabled it, but it's useful to have a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are.
Isn't that the premise of Rent-a-Wreck?
It's pretty annoying how the article is quite both-sides-ism about the whole thing.

Four months to receive an offer? Come on. You get the vast majority of the signal for a candidate in the interview process itself. All of the backoffice deliberations don't require months of meetings. It's just more okay that it gets dragged out because the market is lousy.

Willpower is a bucket that fill during your sleep, and with time you spend with people you enjoy, and is emptying each awake second, and faster if you have to use it to defend yourself against distractions. You can make the bucket bigger (especially as a child) so you can start the day with more than your peers, but ultimately, resisting too much can be exhausting.

I say that as an ex-obese who can now say he's 'fit'. I wouldn't pose on magazine or on Venice beach, but I'll be quite happy to go shirtless this summer for the first time in more than a decade. I'm constantly hungry, and will be all my life. I fucked up my hormones by eating too much. I don't have any food I can just eat at home. I have to prepare it before. I eat out a lot, and always place myself away from food at gatherings. Each decision I make to avoid eating, I transformed into rituals, so they aren't decisions anymore.

If I had to also stop smoking/drinking/gambling, I wouldn't have succeeded. If I had half my salary, I wouldn't have succeeded.

Obesity in men is quite hard to see/feel at first, especially since I bummed my ankles before putting on weight, so most physical diminutions I put on my accident and not my weight. When my fat showed on my chin, I was already at 34 BMI (I'm at 24 now, I've been around 26-28 for 4 years).

I also was fit as a teen, my upbringing gave me a very good support system and 'community', so my willpower is easy to refill: a good demonstration, a 1st of may, a short night/weekend in a 'ZAD' (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_to_Defend) and I'm good to go do any soul-crushing task for hours.

For a while I had a thunderbird filter to automate forwarding based on our provider's email header.

I barely know what I’m doing with wine but am 100% sure I could at least tell you which are whites and which reds if you lined up a typical Chardonnay, a typical Pinot Grigio, a typical cab sauv, and a typical Pinot noir.

I am certain there exist weird wines that could fool me (I’ve had a few really weird wines) but typical shit from the grocery store, I’m gonna be able to tell at least that much. I might even ID them more precisely than red or white. It’s not exactly subtle…

Then again I don’t have a clue how someone could fail to tell which is coke and which Pepsi in the “Pepsi challenge”. They’re wildly different flavors. I can tell by smell alone.
People also differentiate heavily on the basis of scale and profit. Artists are often fine with people sharing their posts and may even tolerate someone asking for permission to make printouts or whatever else for their circle of friends, but will expect some sort of royalty if you're asking to be able to sell prints of their artwork on a store.

Hell, even with viral videos it's relatively common that normal people can share away while entertainment companies and influencers are expected to pay for a license.

With memes it isn't clear exactly who made the first template, and the creation of them doesn't revolve around specific people in the same way, nor are they meaningfully tied to profits.

When creators post their content online to be shared, they do it with the focus being on reaching individuals, not for it to be sucked up by soulless companies to extract all value without the intention of giving back.
> are no longer being sold by manufacturers for food contact use in the U.S. market

Does this mean if the product is produced outside the US and imported it could still be permitted?
Agreed! In the US there is a company that does this but they don’t have a nationwide presence: https://www.rentawreck.com/. Also in Iceland there is “Sad Car” which was great for kicking around.
I have jumped at this facility. My experience was similar to the description: rushed safety video that is playing while you are simultaneously given waivers to sign, forcing you to divert your focus between the two.

Not that watching the safety video would have helped in this case, as the instructor was not properly trained and vetted in the first place.

Still, it shows the careless attitude of the business, and the skewed priorities of profit over people.

You have not demonstrated the fact that adding extra time to think improves the quality of its answer. That is your pet hypothesis, and you think you've proved it with a n=3 trial.

I think you're trying to apply a simple rule of thumb - the idea that longer context is effective because it lets the LLM think more - to situations where we'll see the opposite effect.

For example, if you ask it to count to 100 and then solve a math benchmark, my intuitive sense is that it'll be much worse, because you're occupying the context with noise irrelevant to the final task. In cheaper models, it might even fail to finish the count.

But I would love to be proven wrong!

If you're really interested about this, let's design a real experiment with 50 or so problems, and see the effect of context padding across a thousand or so answer attempts.
So interesting - Dankeschön for sharing!
Bay Area Safeway and Target stores are overcharging customers, officials say
I go through this annoying oscillating struggle every time I read news like this:

1. Realise the Apple hard- and software I'm using sucks privacy wise

2. Compare open source alternatives, maybe switch (I have an iPhone and a Fairphone 4 with /e/OS, also a MacBook and a homebrew Linux PC) with a file- and photo export through my NAS.

3. Use the FOSS ecosystem for a bit, be annoyed at some jank, slowly realise that while unquestionably better privacy wise, it's not necessarily better security wise.

4. Miss real life document management (I scan files, apply OCR). MacOS/Spotlight makes it possible to treat my collection as a database rather than a file cabinet that way, Continuity makes it easy to scan.

5. Switch back, rinse and repeat.

I'm driving myself insane. It's always either feeling great about my privacy and sacrifice convenience (I mean, FOSS can probably host that same workflow, it's just that it's a lot more work up front and I'm the one responsible if it breaks) or feeling great about how my stuff works but feeling creeped out about being spied on.
My Volvo XC60 costs about £1.50 to fully charge(at home) and easily saves ~£6 in fuel cost for the amount of miles you can cover. I drive daily and fill up every 2-3k miles on average, it's a massive saving over a regular car(for me anyway).

But even if it didn't save us any money, it's still worth charging as driving in EV mode is just such a luxurious experience, it's completely quiet inside and that's what elevates the whole experience. If you don't care about it, why buy/rent an PHEV in the first place lol.
It’s ironic to see the link to that post which implicitly assumes that functions are defined on R^n, under a post about Legendre transform, whose point is that functions are defined on state spaces of systems, and only become represented by functions on R^n once we parameterize the state spaces by state variables. So the value of f at a given point doesn’t depend on what your favorite letter (aka state variable) is, but the value of f’ certainly does. And Legendre transform, as is actually explained, albeit cryptically, in Goldstein comes from the fact that we have 2d state space - phase space of 1d system with config variable y, velocity variable x, and momentum variable u, - on which we have have non-linearly related variables x and u.

In Legendre transform, what we have (the y variable is a red herring, and I will ignore it; everything happens "pointwise in y"), is curve in u-x plane, which we lift to u-x-z space in two ways -- that is, we find functions f and g defined for the points on that curve such that: 1) if the curve is parametrized by x, so that f is a function of x, then df/dx=u 2)if the curve is parametrized by u, so that g is a function of u, then dg/dx = u. (Why do we want this? Presumably because when x is velocity and f is energy, u is momentum, and we want g to have same property going back. And yes, there are conditions when one can parametrize a curve by one of the coordinates, either locally, or globally; one such is that u is monotone increasing function of x - that corresponds to convexity of f.) Of course now "derivatives of f and g are inverse" is tautological.

If we already know f(x), but don't know neither u nor g we could set u = df/dx and try to compute g. Or we could do it the way Goldstein does it: dg/du=x, so dg=xdu (this is an ODE), integrating it "by parts" g=int x du = xu - int u dx = xu - f.

(In advanced speak, u-x curve is a Lagrangian in the u-x plane, which is symplectic as every sum of vector space and its dual is; the functions f and g correspond to lifts of this Lagrangian to Legendrians based on choice of "canonical" 1-forms udx and xdu, respectively,so that df - udx=0 and g-xdu=0.)
PHEVs tend to have 10-20 kWh batteries.

In Costa Rica this is illegal too but going through the hassle of reporting it to the local authorities is a pain and you won't gain much, just annoy the dealership.

Usually the POS rate is around 2% so at the end of the day you'll split it evenly and get a 3% discount. A few years back it was even highter and I bought several home appliances and saved around $100 so it's worth for both parties.

Now imagine people that deal with ranges from 10K to 100K - It's definitely worth it shaving a few bucks here and there
I hope they set aside some budget/resources to contribute back to the open source ecosystem
But you still jumped.
A huge aspect people ignore is how expensive it is to handle cash. From storage, administration, transportation, loss, etc. it's usually a little more expensive to take cash vs. card.

This is why your grocery store partners with an ATM network to let you take out extra cash at the POS. As long as you're paying the fee, they'll do whatever they can to trade you cash for a digital deposit into their bank account.
The band Pinback, named after Sergeant Pinback, also samples the film in a bunch of songs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDxylYWcHuA&list=OLAK5uy_kmJ...).

Only sometimes. Depends how you use them.

If you have some specific flight that you pay for regularly, e.g. to visit family, then replacing that flight's average cost with points gives a concrete number on point value.

If you are using points to fly first class on a trip you would not be taking at all but for the point redemption, then the value gets a lot more muddled.
> You could also in theory just restrict which HTML elements can be used.

That’s not enough, because you also have to restrict what attributes they may carry (inline styles, event handlers), the type of meta tags and image formats, and so on.

But in any case, such a restricted subset was what I was already presuming in my comment.
The alternative to credit cards that charge 2-3% fees shouldn't be cash, but rather debit cards with close to zero fees.

Cash handling isn't free, but a digital transfer that doesn't have rewards is obviously cheaper than a credit card.
The person you're debating with is not interested in genuine debate. Look at their profile - it's an alt account for their religious dogma they're too embarrassed to associate with their public persona.

That is backed by them refusing to answer you with specific examples, engaging in a gish-gallop instead.
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.

I do not believe that “Jews as a collective” are “bribing and blackmailing the whole Western world.”

I do believe that American lobbying groups—including but not limited to those that support Israel—use money as a tool to influence American politics in a manner akin to bribery, including in the few examples I linked about AIPAC.

Your casual conflation “Israel (Jews)”—as if the two were a single group with congruent interests—is misleading, dangerous, and antisemitic. Not all Jews are Israeli, and not all Jews are pro-Israel.
Fixing collision damaged vehicles is a profit center. They'll bill your insurance for every tangentially related maintenance item they'd been putting off (the belt is _obviously_ squeeky because the collision loosened the tensioner, the brakes are worn down because the emergency stop was too aggressive, the windshield fluid won't come out because the shock knocked a wire loose in the electric pump, ...). The car comes out in better shape than it went in.

But this is hardly an apples-to-apples comparison: we happen to use the word "war" to describe both what's occurring in Ukraine and what's occurring in Gaza, just as we use the word "surgery" to describe both the removal of birdshot following a hunting accident and the removal of a brain tumor, since, after all, the two phenomena we call war share many characteristics (violence, mutual non-recognition of legal authority, etc.), just as the two kinds of surgery do (anesthesia, scalpels, etc.). But it would be an obtuse medical review board that faulted the tumor surgeon for damaging a higher percentage of healthy tissue, or for causing a greater loss of post-operative function, or for having a higher number of her patients die on the operating table, than the gunshot surgeon. After all, the pellets will be close to the surface, easy to distinguish from benign human cells, and unlikely to be hiding behind anything as delicate and vital as the blood vessels of the cerebellum. Of course, if you weren't such a review board member making careful medical-ethical judgments but instead a malpractice lawyer trying to convince a jury of ordinary citizens of the ineptitude and even malice of some neurosurgeon, you might not be quite as scrupulous about pushing an emotive analogy too far.
I wish it was more socially acceptable to ice skate recreationally with safety gear. Falling on the ice hurts. Falling on the ice if you’re dressed like you’re playing hockey is considerably less unpleasant.
You definitely could. I can't remember right now what effect that had, because the whole thing was running atop a virtual memory layer at that point... I can't recall if it was a lie (i.e. feature existed but had no effect) or if it had some effect on how long it'd be before an app started resorting to paging out RAM pages.
Physically healthy how? Just because she doesn't have any medical conditions or because she exercises on a regular basis.

In the latter case, recent studies have shown exercise to be even more effective than medication or therapy. As so keeping a clean diet (which is so much harder than anyone realizes with all the petro-chemicals everywhere). I feel like this used to be (if not for the mass indoctrination by the church of Big Pharma) common sense.

It's a little silly to encourage or enable such a young woman to take such a drastic step without asking critical questions and trying to address the problem, and then acting like your morally superior for supporting "her choice".

If you really gave a damn, maybe you actually encourage her toward life, but so many nowadays are so hopelessly nihilistic they would just as soon join her. Sad.

There used to be "rent a dent" discount car rentals that did exactly this. You could save a bunch by renting a clearly used (and usually scuffed/dented) car.

I agree about driving a brand-new rental being stressful. I don't to worry about little scratches and dings, especially when you're driving an unfamiliar car in a foreign place.

We aren't sure we know how to do it at all yet[0], so there's going to be a lot of research going from here to there.

Also, we don't know how to do it safely, which they also care about, and also takes a lot of research as quite a lot of us don't even agree on the question.

All that research is going to be expensive.

[0] It's long been possible to make an AI which can learn any function, but all the current ones need too much training data, and we don't know if we can reach economic usefulness in all human domains with the currently existing data even if we ignore that so many data holders responded to ChatGPT and Midjourney/Stable Diffusion by locking away all their data.

The mise docs have a great comparison page: https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/comparison-to-asdf.html

In personal experience, all of these have held true. Mise is just easier to use than asdf and I don't have to `asdf -h` every time I have to use it. The performance is significantly better and I can use mise exec in shebangs without sacrificing too much startup time. And it's easier to install because it's a SLSE. I wouldn't say it's worth deliberately switching from asdf (though I would, because asdf's CLI is an endless annoyance to me), but if you're on a new machine I don't think there is a reason to use asdf over mise.
There was a business in the UK doing this but didn't work out any cheaper than a regular rental from Enterprise. Economy of scale at such a level is hard to beat.

It's actually just Tesla anticonsumerism that the touchscreen is integral to the car.

So if you get a ... I'm not particularly Honda inclined, so I'd say, if you go for anything in the price range of Civic or vicinity, and made sure there's separate physical A/C knobs that aren't connected to the center screen, you should be able to just later install a 2035 Adobe CarPlayAuto 23.4 compliant head unit when the time comes, and keep the car just as you wish(dc I'm not a car manufacturer rep, dyor required).
