It's incumbent on the prosecution to prove that you know the key they are claiming you are withholding. It is a defence to say you forgot it, or that the data is random. The prosecution would have to prove that you didn't forget i

I agree that with current LLMs the error goes the other way; they appear more conscious than they are, compared to, say, crows or octopuses which appear less conscious than they actually are. My point is that "appears conscious" i

It's also perfect for RL because it can compile it's output and check it against the input. It's a translation exercise where there's already a perfect machine translator in one direction. It probably just hasn't ha

I think it's probably the description "modest house" that is making everybody laugh at you.

I think that was downstream to deal with the fact the real toy was expensive and hard to get due to demand. IIRC it was Blue Peter's most requested instructions ever. Quite a signficant public service by whoever designed that when you

Does any money laundering offence not have a mens rea, though? You typically have to have at least suspected that you were dealing with the proceeds of crime.

It seems like it's a bit like "home soil" which has cultural connotations. I can't think of an exact single word in English for the translation but I imagine every large country has the concept of regional cuisines and f

Yes it's a political issue, but the user I originally replied to claimed that bias was obvious on _anything_ political.

This isn't "anything remotely political" is it, it's a highly contentious culture war issue among the chronically online. I was disputing the claim actually made, not a different claim you appear to have understood I was

Yes, easily in every case. The information asymmetry between the present and the past is insurmountable. Any lost knowledge on our side is utterly dwarfed by never-gained knowledge on their side. In addition to this, hardware advances mean

I felt exactly the same. I read some of the original Second Sight reports and I very much got the impression that the issues were quite broad and related to inadequate training, poor/confusing UI etc. There isn't, as far as I can

The thing that allows these password disclosing laws to be compatible with self-incrimination is that the password itself is not the evidence, you are being compelled to give up other documentary evidence that incriminates you. This is comm

The fact you are immediately downvoted for this even handed comment which speaks from personal experience, while worthless "DAE 1984" comments are not, proves how close minded most HN commenters are on this issue.

That might be the case, but there would still be examples of it happening to other people, wouldn't there?

I understand how the system can lead to people losing access to their Google account, GP suggested people could lose access to their children. The NYT article is the opposite of what GP claimed - the case was closed before he even knew it h
