Although the Venezuela example is quite an overreach, none of these people fall under the US laws you think they do The legal basis is them being declared Unlawful Combatants under the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Once they do they are

The Windows API was very easy to find. Generally if he can call an executable that can fetch that MDM status, it is almost certain that executable calls some function in some library to get it. I was curious so I checked, it uses CPProfileM

It always seemed weird to me when people call shell binaries from the middle of a desktop app. What's wrong with finding the actual OS API instead?

Very interesting, I am hardly an expert, but this gives the impression that if only without that meddling software we will all live in a synchronous world. This ignores store buffers and consequently memory fencing which is the basis for th

and your assumption is that if Google has conflicting legal obligations to the USA and Israel it will choose Israel... In my opinion that's extremely unlikely. This was probably set up for other kinds of countries

Does that mean that all these embeddings in all those vector databases can be used to extract all these secret original documents?

Generally the UX could be an advantage, the hypertext format of wikipedia and length is nicer when you want to go on a random knowledge walk compared to LLMs. Regarding the Wikipedia trained Ouroboros models, you can argue that the Wikipedi

I am making a lot of assumptions here which are not backed by much knowledge about bitcoin: 1. It's easier to extract funds from abandoned wallets without being noticed 2. There will be a transition to wallets with post-quantum cryptog

In my opinion simply using a dataset of high quality books and highly rated academic journals is enough to surpass current Wikipedia quality. In my experience when using LLMs as a replacement for Wikipedia (learning about history), it is of

Being condescending is unwarranted really. Is your argument that Wikipedia rules are not highly tailored to suppress original research and rely on secondary sources For the latter LLMs are better than wikipedia today, the former arguably c
