Unfortunately, so far coding models seem to perform worse and break in other ways as context grows, so it's still best practice to start a new conversation even when iterating. Luckily, high-end reasoning models are now catching when v

The hollowing out of the readership by ideologically partisan staff is what led to publications becoming overly dependent on the subsidy of wealthy owners, rather than a wider pool of paid subscribers.

He was convicted for allowing US citizens to sign up and place trades that could theoretically be matched by people from sanctioned countries. Technically an incredibly bad service for American people who must be protected from such liberti

Those prosecutors were deeply embarrassed by missing FTX at the time, so they then had the SEC and IRS harass and threaten innocent US citizens in Japan and the US as they fished for charges merely because they happened to once work for or

CZ was not convicted of fraud or even money laundering. There's a reason the sentence was only 4 months. His charge was the first ever prosecution of a platform/bank poorly implementing KYC and not doing enough surveillance of its

CZ was not involved in fraud, the case only found him guilty of not doing enough to surveil his customers to sufficiently block US citizens from using a crypto exchange that other people from sanctioned countries could use.

The dispatch relayer and responding officers should at least have ready access to a screen where they can see a video/image of the raw footage that triggered the AI alert. If it is a false alarm, they will better see it and react accor

Denmark is the rare case of a European nation where its center-left listened to feedback from the electorate early on and earnestly adopted policies restricting immigration and refugee admission. As a result they had no populist backlash, a

VeniceAI has been useful for image workflows. Since their focus is on avoiding censorship, it doesn't have those kinds of refusals.

For what you're looking for, VeniceAI is focused entirely on privacy and making their models uncensored. Even if it's not local. They IP block censorious jurisdictions like UK, rather than comply.

Some of the USAID spending arguably was self-defeating for soft power. What I've heard from multiple Japanese family members is that the subsidies and policy pressure for LGBT programs and refugee acceptance felt like narcissistic cult

Most of the founding intellectuals of neoconservatism, especially Irving Kristol, came from secular socialist backgrounds and imagined their ideal society to be eerily similar to The Culture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

The Culture intervenes in and steers those other societies and species even when unprovoked. Essentially a neoconservative utopia as envisioned by a young Irving Kristol. Yes, it would be a heaven for all who are pleased to take on its espi

I'm old enough to recall MSNBC in 2011 cropping video footage of an Obama townhall protestor to only show his long-sleeve shirted back with slung open-carry rifle. They used it to immediately launch into a pundit discussion claiming th

Auto-Pilot is not FSD. It's akin to a regular carmaker's Automatic-Braking-System and Lane-Keep-Assist. If you're seeing it used dangerously that's user error.

Similarly in mobile apps where install size is key, designed image assets are better exported as SVG or platform draw code. There are tools to do this conversion easily and the benefit of draw code is that it is crisp at all sizes and can b
