Yeah there are a lot of people getting upset about this, so to summarize here: there is a well studied scenario where humans are asked to hire people from four groups. These groups will be judged in their performance on a job and the humans

Yeah blue prince is three games (I've played two of them and won't play the third). First, it's a really compelling roguelite puzzler where you explore and understand the house and it's mechanics. The puzzles are mostly

This...isn't true. Others have already said this, but the watermarking is something like "when the model flips a coin picking between two values, always choose heads". It was already flipping a coin. You're not choosing

It depends on what you mean. There's lots of ways of looking at this, but I'd think of "entry level" as someone who is assigned individual tasks, and maybe needs help or oversight on completing them. Someone senior is as

On the other hand, you're approaching tautology with what you seem to be implying here, which is "flaws or challenges that you can fix yourself aren't mental health problems".

Yes, it's clear you take issue with the assumptions I'm making. That's okay. If you don't accept my premise that's fine, but you could just state that instead of saying that I'm being hypocritical or strutting

I don't disagree. I'm not sure why that's a relevant reply though. If you think that the addition of a less creative process (model creation) to a more creative corpus ("art") is problematic, then it follows that yo

I don't think that's what it's saying at all. It's saying that there's a level of creativity in model creation that isn't present in distillation.

The point of passkeys is that you don't need to. Unlike passwords, your session cannot be hijacked because the thing that you give your fingerprint cryptographically verified the requester.
