I don't have knowledge of how the message exchange went. But if it was Ulbricht to contact the supposed hitman in the first place, then you're right that there isn't much to discuss about. Policeman in disguise or not, it is

Drugs weren't the only items sold there, there were also weapons. If you illegally sell weapons in a country where it is already much easier to legally get a weapon than most other countries, you can be sure that those weapons aren&#

Where do you hit the decidability problem? Has it to do with not knowing if a new write is going to happen soon?

Thank you, I get it now. The reason why I focused on that specific example, is because it is used in the blog post as proof that DKIM is being actively used to prove that someone actually sent an email.

Sorry, I'm missing what you're trying to say here, maybe that a politician would be more careful about which message system he's using? I don't think that's necessarily the case. Anyway, to further add to my point,

I think here is where the problem isn't purely a technical one anymore. You're right that, from a legal perspective, there is a difference as the burden of proof would now be on someone else. But, if this actually matters or not,

Yes, but the GET itself isn't changing any state. The state changes only after clicking on the button. This is OP's point.

Isn't deniability at odds with DKIM's goal? What would be the point of setting DKIM then? Sure, it helps with spam scores. But most companies rely on a major email provider to send emails, so maybe they wouldn't have delivera

Based on that page, they're dropping the REPL in favor of notebooks, but their're not dropping scripts. They are dropping some script-related functionality to focus on others.

Interesting, the different way we use mochas can explain why you have stories about explosions: our way is definitely putting less stress on mochas, which end up lasting for decades without the need to be replaced. We use coffee that is spe

This is unexpected to me: I would have assumed that, even if you did something wrong, the valve would have prevented an explosion. I can understand a single valve going bad, but if this happened to many of your friends there might be someth

Source? I'm from Italy, where everybody's using them, but never heard of a single one exploding. Maybe you can find an isolated case, but I'm confident it's extremely rare. There's a safety valve to release pressure

But op's point was about people talking about tiny LLMs failing to consider the amount of parameters used. This has nothing to do with the ability of autonomously collecting the training data.
