Nonsense - a legal system must apply the law . Also, Jones wasn't "weird or peculiar" - he repeatedly disobeyed and misled the court. This is like a soccer match where one team won by fifty goals, because the other team repe

It wasn't a billion dollars for a single thing, it was awards to 15 different defendants, ranging from ~30-120 million each. More importantly, you're missing that this was a default judgment - Jones didn't defend himself, so

Of course there will be a set of tells for any given style, but the space of possibilities is much larger than what a person could recognize. So as with most LLM tasks, the issue is figuring out how to describe specifically what you want. A

> if we tell it "Don't start your writing with 'dive into'", it will just switch to "delve into" or another synonym. LLMs can radically change their style, you just have to specify what style you want.

Basically, yes - it's a loose term for those kinds of roles. The specific field in TSA's data is labeled "Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks".

Please see my sibling reply - I don't think it, bookkeepers do (according to TFA's dataset).

by fenomas 2y ago
It's not an opinion I hold, it's a data point from the data TFA examined (which was presumably self-reported, so take it up with bookkeepers I guess). If you want to see it, skip to the "explore" part and then enter &quo

I follow you, but I read TFA as saying the complete opposite of that. To me TFA is illustrating that "white-vs-blue-collar" is something of a thought-terminating cliche, and that looking at the actual data shows that various jobs

You have this backwards - sitting/standing (and autonomy etc.) are the data, and blue-collar/white-collar are names for clusters in that data, and the latter depend on the former. After all, workers choose a shirt according to the

That's not what the comments are about - they're noting that the cohort popularly using this term spells it "brainrot", so it's odd that Oxford picked a different spelling.

by fenomas 2y ago
It wasn't a definition. The person you replied to used "means" in the sense of "necessarily implies", not in the sense of "is precisely equivalent to". That's what the symbols in my earlier comment me

I wouldn't consider other chromium browsers reskinned because they're using the chromium engine as a dependency, by choice. They can customize it as much or as little as they want (and I'd imagine they do to various extents).

Sure, and I think the reason is that whatever else they are, LLM outputs are disposable . Posting them here is like posting outputs from Math.random() - anyone who wants such outputs can easily generate their own.

When chrome/firefox/opera all implement a working draft and demonstrate interoperability, they are participating in the standards process. Trying to make it sound like they're doing something non-standard when they do that is

by fenomas 2y ago
This is plain bad faith. If you know anything about web standards, you already know the W3C process requires candidate implementations and interoperability before a standard reaches its later stages. Other browsers implemented the standar

> effectively reskinned Safari It's worse than that, even - IIRC the renderer that other browsers have to use is slower and more limited than the one Safari uses. So other browsers are effectively reskinned hobbled Safari.

Safari is mandatory to have on iOS - it's preinstalled and can't be removed. It's also propped up in the sense of being built on apis and OS features that other browsers aren't allowed to use. I mean, imagine if DOJ forc

by fenomas 2y ago
Considering Safari is mainly used on a platform where it's mandatory, I'm not sure "standing" is the term. Last man being propped up Weekend-at-Bernie's style?

> By that token, every logo in existence could be a white square with black text on it. As I think you already know, the designer obviously wasn't suggesting that. He was saying that clarity matters, not that only clarity matters.

Hugely agree. Every junior on my team has heard me say: "copy-paste is free; abstractions are expensive." When you move two bits of logic behind a common interface you tell the world that they're the same type of thing, and f

1. I answered you - nobody said they see a benefit to having biased editors, and no reasonable person would, by definition. People see benefit in something else, as I explained - that's the answer to your question. 2. I know some peopl

by fenomas 2y ago
No, because that's a straw man. What many people want is a balanced, unbiased editorial department that weighs the facts as they see them and then publishes an endorsement.

Yeah - the other analogy I've used is that everyone can recognize a Starbucks logo, but even if you went to the trouble of learning to accurately draw one, you'd forget if you didn't practice.

Not at all - forgetting kanji just isn't similar to forgetting how to spell English words, as I think TFA made fairly clear. It's the simplest analogy to make, but it's not near enough to draw conclusions from. The analogy I&
