It seems to me also that ICE is slowly transforming itself into brownshirt arm of the government, ready to do whatever with no concerns over legality.

One thing that is exciting in the text is an attempt to go away from describing whether LLM 'understands' which I would argue an ill posed question, but instead rephrase it in terms of something that can actually be measured. It w

I think the title is clickbait'y. The EU proposes to simplify the law rather than abolish it, which makes sense to me.

I have friends who were asked about their social media accounts at the US border. I.e. like you have in Russia, where they can check your Telegram for the subscription to opposition channels. It's not surprising that people are relucta

Asian markets already falling by 5-10%. I don't think it will get better as it propagates to Europe and USA. The Liz Truss moment truly arrived to the USA and the world. We'll see what happen s when an idiot gets to rule a big cou

usually in most countries you can remove the citizenship if there was fraud in obtaining it (and maybe for some national security reasons), but I don't know the US laws (not that anyone respects them now...)

It is absolutely clear now that any person in the US without a US passport, i.e., anyone with a visa or green card is now at the whim of the current government and should get ready to get deported and stripped of their visa if the say the w

I am not entirely sure if the distinct service is justified here, but in my own work, I've found that regular Chatgpt is great in writing queries. And usually I post the '\d ' output to it to describe my schema, and ask in re

Yes, I had the same. After that I decided to put them in separate firefox container.

As a person who lived in the States for a bit, and listened to a lot of news, I remember always this almost fawning over the Founding Fathers, checks and balances and great American constitution. It is remarkable, how easy it all goes, and

This is flagged now. I guess some people just don't want to see this kind of news. Or they agree with these tactics.

They also overwrote the EEPROM of the satellite computer before shutting it, because apparently they were concerned that the satellite would reawake, because it has multiple autonomous recovery modes.

Somebody will get insanely rich on this. Unless people believe that these DOGErs are principled honest state servants.

I was just puzzled to see this paper posted, when we have discovered tens of objects like this over last years. Again, no harm done here, really, but I thought the context is useful.
257.
by sega_sai 2y ago
I work in this field and written papers on these objects, so I am aware of their significance. This is exactly why I left the comment for people to know whether that's something particularly novel or interesting (for non-experts) or no

I am not a policeman of what could be submitted, but some results are remarkable enough/interesting enough because they are record breakers or unusual in one way or another. This is run of the mill galaxy in Andromeda. And because An

by sega_sai 2y ago
I am not sure that it is that remarkable (for this website), given the known faintest Milky Way's satellites are ~ 100 times fainter, and there probably ten-ish galaxies fainter than And XXXV around the MW.

Thankfully I had the backup, but it is certainly not something that I'd expected from google. Maybe now time to backup all emails and photos...

All the images there have been prepared by the collaboration, not NYT. I know, since I've made one of those images.

Apparently this opinion piece, which i initially took at face value is not fully straight with the facts. I.e. on misleading journalists, here is the rebuttal based on the official testimonies: https://medium.com/@K_G_Ander

I don't necessarily dispute that claim, but do you have evidence to support it ?

According to NYT [1](I can't force myself to watch this), "Nowhere in the video did he refer to protecting the environment or public health, twin tenets that have guided the agency since its founding in 1970." I am not sure w

I like how this "freedom to learn" should apply to models, but not real people..

Interesting if true. Unfortunately there are just too many sources that can produce ionizing radiation, high energy cosmic rays, energetic positrons etc (especially when you look in at the central part of the MW). So while I wouldn't r

I honestly think that platforms that are large enough should either not have algorithmic feeds at all, or have a public algorithm for it.
