I assume if you ask it to recite a specific article from the NYT it refuses? If an LLM is able to pull a long enough sequence of text from it's training verbatim all that's needed is the correct prompt to get around this weeks fil

Because it is very likely to be the biggest expense you will have apart from rent/mortgage payments. In the UK it is easily 50% of the take home pay of one parent if they are on a "good" above average wage. It will soak up th

There was a small event that effected mainland Europe more than other places called World War 2. The US welcomed the engineers/scientists/wealthy fleeing the war and it continued after 1945. Same with the UK, but to a lesser exten

You have to actually read to the end of the article to get to the bit about ETFs.

I'm not so sure, people pay for Netflix and Spotify and other content services. Maybe most of the content on YouTube is not worth paying for? There are YouTube channels i watch, but it's just a fun distraction. If they went away I

LLMs are definitely AI within the scope of text or even "conversation" generation. Just as AlphaGo is a Go playing AI within that scope. Obviously an AI that can have a human like text conversation has broader use than the Go play

It's just the whims of the rich and powerful, sometimes we are lucky and their mood aligns with needs of society as a whole. Sometimes the only way to for a billionaire to differentiate themselves from your run-of-the-mill middle-easte

Flattr did this, I saw a few sites with it enabled around when it launched, in 2010 apparently. If i remember you could click a link on an article that had it enabled, which was recorded. Then, weekly/monthly funds were distributed fro

I'm running Firefox + uBlock on Android. Works fine. The blocked domains are all Google (unsurprisingly).

I assume Chrome just hooks into Google Translate. Firefox translation works locally apparently. Hopefully the can improve it.

The Mozilla translation extension works fine for me when I've used it. It may even be enabled by default now.

They probably don't make enough money from being a reasonable platform. It will just end up a Twitter hell-scape if trolls can find a community to torment/destroy more easily.

The documentary is very good. Conjures a perfect film adaptation in your imagination.

Even in LOTR there are some wobbly sections outside the big story beats, when you re-watch it now. It's a good book to film adaptation of difficult material though. I passed on The Hobbit.

I listen to net radio as well, NTS, Rinse FM, Dandelion Radio give a good mix (UK based at least). I have a Spotify subscription and it is great for the depth of the catalogue and playing your favourite music when you get the itch, but algo

I suspect buying your favourite artists merch gets them a bigger cut, if you want to help out more.

You think they wouldn't give up wagyu beef and the idea of the US dollar for a shot at rebuilding society with a massive head start over the 99.9% percent of the population that don't have a bolt hole?

They assume they wont be around for when their legacy completely uproots society, be the king now, let everyone else deal with the consequences later. The hedge is to rebuild the world in their image from the New Zealand command center, sho

The abstract idea of a (democratic, elected) government is parental, it is supposed to run a country to better the lives of its citizens. Whether some of the people that gain power in government are even adults is debatable though.

Both the right exercise and not obsessing about a change or pain in your body is a good way to get rid of join pains, trapped nerves, stiff muscles, etc. Obviously people should watch out for the signs of common chronic diseases, but in my

Nintendo make great games that I pay for. But the way they drip feed their back catalog and price gouge on N64 is a red line for me. The entire NES to N64 catalog (licensing permitting) should be a part of the base Nintendo Online subscript

Ha, that's what Shen Yun is about. Their ticket sales convoy pops up in an innocuous town in the UK a couple of times a year, looking rather out of place.
