But this just comes down to “we need to overrule the plebs when they think wrong!” That’s antithetical to democracy.

To concur, the US and EU are screaming they’re required to report their foreign influence in Georgia — the same as FARA in the US. They deployed their NGOs to influence and led riots in the streets to block transparency about foreign fundin

I guess it depends on your scale. The X-ray/UV boundary (10nm) is closer to IR (780nm) than the top of X-ray range (10pm). IR is similarly broad (to 1mm).

The pharma ads are bribes to news stations not to report on them (via being a major funding source for their parent conglomerate).

I think the more controversial claim is that humans possess an innate “inequity” rather than “inequality” sense. “Equity” isn’t a shared value in any society that I’m aware of.

Amazon’s downstream impact calculations and Prime attribution model were notoriously bad inside the company. That’s part of what led to the massive Devices cull a few years back — and the 2018 hiring freeze was because Prime overvalued Vide

Misremembering facts isn’t a negative mental health event, yet is an example of imagination rather than recall — similar to LLMs hallucinating. Humans imagine events all the time, without the ability to know that happened. Part of why eye-w

Humans routinely misremember facts but are relatively certain those remembrances are correct. That’s a form of minor, everyday hallucination. If you engage in such thorough criticism and checking of every recalled fact as to eliminate that,

A challenge is that it’s not easy to limit hallucinations without also limiting imagination and synthesis. In humans. But also apparently in LLMs.

So… no? Just race and sex baiting with vague allusions, but not actually a specific example when asked…?

That’s not inability, that’s client preference. Very few clients want to pay for certified defect free software, as they prefer the lesser cost (and greater speed) of defective software that’s patched as defects become problematic. So most

You also have a problem that a team can benefit from people who are less productive as coders, but more productive at paperwork, organizing, mentoring, meetings, etc. I’ve seen several teams fire less productive coders and then the team fel

I’d call it faux humility, given the second half of the comment — which is a huge assertion.

I have the opposite experience: Inserting a library that wraps an existing one to add new features has been a nightmare in every statically typed language I’ve used — including times it’s virtually impossible because you’d need the underl

The government sponsors a number of DIE programs. Also, it can enforce a ban on the discrimination we saw at Harvard and UNC (and which pervades institutions, both university and business).

Bigotry is unpopular with Americans. Even if you claim it’s noble bigotry because you’re discriminating against people with evil ancestors or who happen to share a sex with bad people.

This interview between Elon Musk and Joe Rogan explains — though I’m not sure the timestamp. Joe Rogan found it convincing enough to endorse Trump afterwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qZl_5xHoBw You could also watch

Trying to apply that stereotype to Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard seems awkward — both of whom endorsed Trump.

Generally, they mean promoting DIE rather than merit and national interest.

> finance and sales Weird that jobs with performance bonuses are the largest gap — but that perhaps suggests that the cause isnt sexism in the workplace, but yet more confounders they didn’t account for.

What happens if I tell the LLM to reword every other sentence? — or every 5th word? I must be missing something, because this seems to assume a contiguous output.

They tried. Officials only pulled the machine once it went viral on social media — because the state regularly suppresses and ignores citizen concerns. Political parties use social media to detect and focus their efforts — eg, where voters

I don’t understand your comment. Are you claiming that the video is fake? — if not, what’s your comment referring to with “accuracy”? — how is “authority” relevant at all, when discussing video of a malfunction?

That fraud rate is obviously wrong: There’s more than 4000 questionable ballots in the entire US election.

Historically, you open the box and count them in front of anyone who wants to watch — using enough polling sites that’s a relatively short task at each. Moving ballots, machine counting, etc are all relatively modern inventions — and seem t
