Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate

My point is that it was foreseeable and it was her goal. She never wanted congestion pricing, she wanted to run on it because it was popular and then tank it in a way that won’t hurt her reelection.

This is calculated.

She’s moving forward with it so that Trump can block it. Then she’ll say “look at me fight trump” and also “nothing we can do sorry”

Quote from abstract:

We find that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85.1% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases, with a minority of cases showing no statistically significant differences. Further analyses show that Black males are disadvantaged in up to 100% of cases, replicating real-world patterns of bias in employment settings, and validate three hypotheses of intersectionality. We also find an impact of document length as well as the corpus frequency of names in the selection of resumes.

Pretty damning… And not surprising.

It is my understanding that the fundamental architecture (the general purpose transformer) is identical between the “AI” used by Black Rock and by OpenAI

If you have some evidence to the contrary I’d always appreciate the chance to learn.

But the transformer based architecture is fundamentally flawed: it will always hallucinate.

The “AI” being used by big corporations is still fundamentally an LLM and has all the flaws of an LLM. It’s not a hot wheels car vs a tank, it’s a hot wheels car vs a $2 billion RC car

I’m having an aneurysm trying to understand what’s being said here, can anyone explain?

The vote is today, the propaganda war has been ongoing for years

Not necessarily the same hacker.

This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

Yesterday I googled the top 5 movie box offices of 2024 and it got 4 correct but then threw in number 10 as number 5.

It literally only had to recite an existing list and couldn’t even do that.

I really expected it to say colonial for some reason

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It’s not entirely off base about Russia.

Taiwan is a natural fortress as well. Even if the mainland invaded the guerilla fighting in the mountains would be a new Afghanistan for the occupying force.

All for the political victory of “we did it!”

Taiwan has few natural resources that China doesn’t already have. They mostly have high tech industry… Which would be annihilated by an invasion. No way chip fabs survive: either they get bombed while softening up a landing or they get sabotaged as a spoiling action.

I honestly think that difference in opinion speaks highly of Banks as an author - the books speak to us differently and he wrote diverse enough stories that they capture each person separately.

Big disagree on the best - Use of Weapons, Surface Detail and Consider Phlebas are the favorites of my partner and me.

Not that the 3 listed are bad just that I like my 3 more :)

I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.

No I’m just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird
