Ceteris paribus your performance is always going to be substantially worse even with tons of fancy tricks. Those also get much harder to implement when you're building a complete UI toolkit that has to support a ton of stuff rather tha

If it's a controlled substance, no. It's illegal to say "I'm selling you a drug" that's not an approved, appropriately-produced drug that's either OTC or dispensed with a prescription. Because these are us

Just about any medication you want can be freely ordered from abroad. It is not against the law to use either, as they're not controlled substances. It is illegal to sell them for medical use without complying with pharmaceutical stand

It can also stain the heart and other tissues. But worth noting this was a much higher dose than your typical "biohacker" uses. The levels used in a hospital for things like methemoglobinemia, septic shock, whatever are many times

Let's also not ignore that, whether apple has actually achieved this or not, the highly-accessible version of something necessarily excludes many design idioms and either looks worse or relegates one to a limited range of creative expr

There's a difference between something like a transparent background (you can run i3/picom on a potato) and having to composite many little UI elements to render a frame.

I'm against this because 1. of chilling effects and 2. it risks solving the sybil problem, making it easy to e.g. restrict people to one account.

Correct. I believe it has to be court-ordered and even then it's rare. DNA testing is also generally illegal unless for medical reasons. They claim this is to "uphold family peace" because "fatherhood is social, not biol

If the only thing that verifier does is verification for accessing digital pornography, it remains blackmail-able. Not in the sense of identifying the specific content accessed but in the sense of "this user has gone through the steps

Do you think Wikipedia starting in '24 was polluted by AI slop? This is certainly possible, I'm just not aware of it happening. Wikipedia periodically publishes database dumps and the Internet Archive stores old versions: https:&

A lot of my family has lived in a West Virginia valley since before the Revolutionary War. For most of that time, we have held a generalized contempt for the law and those who would tell others how to live their lives. I think for other peo

Of course I can't even begin trying to prove you wrong. You're making an unfalsifiable statement. You're pointing to the Russel's Teapot of sigint. It's well-established that the American IC, primarily NSA, collects

Datadog is a good product but one of the most blatantly overpriced things I’ve had the displeasure to use.

2% garbage, if some of that garbage falls out the right way, is more than enough to seriously degrade search result quality.

Phone number is also good because you can be reasonably sure as to whether it's voip or not. It is literally the one non-awful solution to the sybil problem we have discovered (the awful ones being things like gov id).

Isn't IA's architecture pretty strained already without this?

I usually see that results are worse after ping-pong. If one-shot doesn't do it better to "re-roll". Context window full of crap poisons its ability to do better and stay on target.

Right I am not actually interested in whether it was legal under british law. My point is british law is unjust and fundamentally illiberal in this respect. Anything that wouldn't pass the Brandenburg v. Ohio test of "imminent law

I'll back this up. I feel constantly gaslit by people who claim they get good output. I was hacking on a new project and wanted to see if LLMs could write some of it. So I picked an LLM friendly language (python). I picked an LLM frien

This is absolutely the best way to do it. However it's also infeasible for number-of-queries-based quota like most front-ends have. And of course running through API for models like o3 and 4-opus is basically always way more expensive.

Did you miss the part where I specified the Met Police often do the same. Let me give you an example of "gross offense": "commentary from you regarding the rainbow flags which represent the LBGT community." https:/

I believe that America's standard of imminent lawless action is the only even remotely-okay circumstance under which you can punish speech directly. The ECHR really doesn't have any bearing on what is right and wrong; laws do not

Okay, I think we have a fundamental disagreement in our first principles that won't be reconciled. I hope people who believe as you do live abroad and do not bring those views to America where y'all could vote. Nothing personal bu

Right I already said he's the vice president. That's the job. We started with a system where the runner-up was VP and had a bit more of a role, then changed it to this.

That's basically irrelevant from where I stand. I don't subscribe to the idea that everything is relative. That we should "respect different choices". The point of an inalienable right is that it's intrinsic accordi

For the most part consumers do stuff like this and then change their minds or forget about it. Boycotts like this rarely work. Don't overestimate the conscientiousness of the average consumer. Duolingo is still going to do this, and pr

Vance isn't running policy. He is the vice president. Many people are arrested every day. Some are for justified reasons and some are not. "The result is identical." Intent and rationale matter.

It reads as legitimately insane that someone is saying in a critical way someone "feels more entitled to free speech" as a justification. I think this is just a basic values disagreement and wouldn't care to live in a country
