I didn't see that phrase and went there now to double-check - still not there. Maybe it's shown only to logged-on users or something?

Portland is not a good test case to decide on one specific policy. It's like testing a cold drug on a person with several cancers - the test can't show any improvement because everything else is so hopelessly broken. I mean, I&#x2

Conservatives? In Portland? How exactly did they manage to throw wrenches there? And also in San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and other deep blue cities? Maybe we need to give some tin foil hats to the managers of those, to shield them from

Wait, at the end of 2023 we're still allowed to blame covid? Anyway, Portland has been going downhill way before covid, I witnessed it with my own eyes, from early 2000s when I seriously thought maybe it makes sense to move there, to l

Wow this looks like some made an absolutely horrible acquisition investment (and quite possibly got promoted and bonused for it), and now as the company realizes that, it has to lay off people that had nothing to do with that decision?

The lesson of this would be terrible - never leave any openings in your walled garden or allow any compromise in excluding third parties, always keep it 100% closed.

Opened the front page of the "community of the nicest, most interesting people". Here's what I found, omitting some jokes, "dear diary", etc (profanity omitted, light rephrasing to keep it short): AI is taking our j

No it is not. Arguably, it never were. I mean yes, PHP had security bugs. So did all other platforms - including, for example, the Java one that led to Equifax compromise, which is as close as "everybody just lost their privacy" a

It does replace the "lazy" part of StackOverflow but not the most valuable part of it. The lazy part is just responses to people that failed to find the manual and/or read it properly, and the responses just quote the docs ba

There's a solution for this, which is relatively easy to implement, if we dare to. Recognize data privacy as a right. Enable the victim to sue the leaking party, with easy recovery and costs, for any bad subpoena accepted, and pay subs

You entirely missed the point of the example. The point is not that you are supposed to embrace their beliefs. The point is that object that are all alike in one system can be very different in another, and if you assume they are all alike,

Wikidata is already modeled in RDF: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Fo...

by smsm42 3y ago
And it has full data dumps and query service ( https://query.wikidata.org/ ) so if you wanted to use it in any LLM project or as side service, there's absolutely no problem with that.

by smsm42 3y ago
It sounds as some kind of anti-Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - that we can express things entirely without using any language at all. I am very curious how it turns out - while I think Wikidata is taking it as far as it practically possible, and A

As long as you consider cups of water and cups of milk be different objects (i.e. cups are not interchangeable, and you can't just throw out milk and fill it with water) it is a completely sensible statement. For example, in Jewish rel

I always wonder why can't one choose to be nice to people without using divisive language, emotionally charged accusatory jargon (like "imperialist"), devaluing somebody's sincere contributions and framing the situation
828.
by smsm42 3y ago
But they actually wrote that in English (while being fellows of Google - one of the most imperial corporations in existence - as I understand) and are sure to use a lot of existing - and English-based - tools to implement it. I mean, if the

I don't see how this is caring. This is dismissing and invalidating the work of large class of people (Westerners and English-speaking people) by applying a jargon label "imperialist" (what does that even mean here? That they

It's a precision illusion. Obviously there's no actual a 100 (or, technically, 101) levels of lovemaking skill that the rater is able to recognize and meaningfully distinguish. However, having a 6.5 seems like it was well consider

That was the part that exercised my "suspension of disbelief" muscle the most. As a hero-in-training montages go, this part is one of the most implausible and hammy.

That's idealizing and it's not healthy for a long-term relationship. Sooner or later (probably sooner) one has to be faced with the fact that the human you are bonding with is, well, human. And as such - flawed in so many ways, as

I can believe in the spreadsheet Alice. I mean I've met people that I wouldn't be surprised if I learned they did it. Males, but I don't see why a female can't be that too.

No you're not probably. But it's pretty standard "A is wronged undeservedly, then A becomes super cool and shows everybody and especially the wronger how it was wrong and then lives happily ever after". There's lite

There's a difference between saying "it's possible to exist without EU - see countries X and Y as an example" and "if we leave EU we will turn immediately into country X or Y". The first is reasonable argument,

True, but I don't think food is ever not free on such long flights - nobody wants to face a hundred of hungry people in a closed quarters :) Usually shorter flights - and alcohol on longer ones - are where the money are made, I think.

by smsm42 3y ago
I think also one has to distinguish junk fees (which are frequently unavoidable, but hidden after the last minute from the consumer) from things like buying food. I mean, some airlines on some flights include free food. But food has little
