Trying to shut down a conversation with "Antisemitism" does not help your case. Being critical of their actions does not equal antisemitism. I fully understand why they are doing what they are doing, they would be stupid not too.

100% yes. TBH when I said "propaganda" I was grouping a lot of that under that when I should have been more specific. But that and similar things is what I was referring to with "I don't understand how this much power ov

I have struggled to even look at my News app anymore. Next to articles about the protests or other things, there are the articles about the hostages or something else that just feels like a propaganda piece aimed at one thing. And that is j

Windows 10 LTSC really is amazing and I am anxiously (and slightly nervously that Microsoft is going to screw it up somehow) waiting for 11 LTSC. Particularly for gaming, takes care of all the compatibility problems with none of the crap th

I find it quite concerning just how much propaganda the US seems to get from Israel. Where I live there are big billboards around, I regularly see ads on YouTube. I know propaganda is a thing, but it feels like we are getting more about a f

I still wouldn't use the term radio silent, but the expectation of a response has to be tied to the urgency of the problem. Given this is pre-release, the urgency of the problem is basically non-existent at this point in time, except f

I disagree, the fact is that is not today. It isn't tomorrow, it isn't this week, or even next week. This is a feature that is still in preview. I fully agree that the feature is poorly conceived and we need a response. But "

I kinda hate the need for a quick response, especially when the feature isn’t officially available yet. 2 days is “radio silent” is a bit much. They may just need time. If this was live and running on a bunch of systems, sure. But let’s not

I honestly thought about this recently when I was trying to see the limits of Claude Opus. Some of the problems I gave it, what if instead of telling it to solve the problem I asked it to write the script and then give me the command and in

Even "thinking out loud" we have seen these systems fall flat on their face and give very wrong answers. Thinking out loud also only gets you so far, if the expectation is a certain type of response it can't always "thin

For anyone considering reading the paper and like me don't normally read papers like this, open the PDF and think you don't have time to read it due to its length. The main part of the paper is the first 10 pages and a fairly quic

Right?!? “Alters” ok? Working out “alters” my muscles. The real question is if it is bad. And importantly. Do we consider it bad because it’s different than how we are or is it actually bad.

Are we really surprised by this point? Over the last 2 years (and really longer if you look at Google) time and time again privacy has been put in the background, properly vetting tools for reliability has been put in the background, all in

It is interesting to think about what could be from a galaxy that was formed ~500 million years before ours. If life had formed in that galaxy, if somehow it had followed a similar pattern we did (which is doubtful, but just a thought exper

Something about them caring about this bothers me a bit. Like, yeah ok it is a good thing that they are trying to curtail this abuse. However, it kinda feels like we are just delaying the inevitable? With open source models like LLAMA, det

It’s such a flawed and dangerous perspective. It’s one thing for the search results to bubble up a wrong result. You go to it, and then you go back and look at more results to get a more complete picture. See where those different sites dis

I have noticed this a lot with open source projects, for some reason they seem to be against any amount of meaningful screenshots in the documentation. I think we can accept that the screenshots may at some point be slightly out of date and

Good to know, thank you. I figured they went the Fortnite route and it was the same game. But I don't play PUBG, so my main point stands. None of the top steam games support ARM.
