Thank you, handling these subjects is already annoying at family dinners. I can’t imagine handling this on an online forum.

It’s great for making images to associate with language learning flashcards.

They’ve got thunderbird which is as far as I know the only serious alternative to outlook.

including the Slogan: ‘From the river to the sea – Palestine shall be free’

As it should, this phrase and it’s Israeli counterpart “between the sea and the Jordan there will be only Israeli sovereignty” are often accompanied by calls for mass deportation at best and genocide at worst.

These sentences are not bad on their own, but the parties from which they originate (Hamas and Likud) have transparent desires for war crimes and genocide.

“They had Polish refugee status certificates for the adults and Polish ID cards for the children. These people were taken to the police station for further investigation,” said von Vegesack. He added that, after their legal situation was confirmed, the family had to be sent back to Poland.

According to the spokesman, German officials informed the Polish border guard about the situation through the Polish-German Centre for Cooperation of Border, Police and Customs Services in Świecko.

“Since there was no reaction from the Polish side for several hours, the officers decided to take the family to the Polish-German border…in order to release them to Poland,” said von Vegesack.

The article above should be more “polish refugees left alone in Poland by German police” rather than the current one which suggests that Germany is getting rid of its migrants illegally.

French here we use both the middle and the left. It depends on the group of friends.

Now instead of just querying the goddamn database, a one line fucking SQL statement, I have to deal with the user team

Exactly, you understand very well the purpose of microservices. You can submit a patch if you need that feature now.

Funnily enough I’m the technical lead of the team that handles the user service in an insurance company.

Due to direct access to our data without consulting us, we’re getting legal issues as people were using addresses to guess where people lived instead of using our endpoints.

I guess some people really hate the validation that service layers have.

You are in a bubble. A neo nazi march was banned two weeks ago in France before being allowed again by the judicial system. The exact same scenario has been repeating for pro-palestine protests.

At least in France, the scenario seems to be that the government wants to ban any controversial march and is being kept under control by the justice system.

I’m afraid that would not be sufficient.

These instructions are a small part of what makes a model answer like it does. Much more important is the training data. If you want to make a racist model, training it on racist text is sufficient.

Great care is put in the training data of these models by AI companies, to ensure that their biases are socially acceptable. If you train an LLM on the internet without care, a user will easily be able to prompt them into saying racist text.

Gab is forced to use this prompt because they’re unable to train a model, but as other comments show it’s pretty weak way to force a bias.

The ideal solution for transparency would be public sharing of the training data.

It’s absolutely amazing, but it is also literally and technologically impossible for that to spontaneously coelesce into reason/logic/sentience.

This is not true. If you train these models on game of Othello, they’ll keep a state of the world internally and use that to predict the next move played (1). To execute addition and multiplication they are executing an algorithm on which they were not explicitly trained (although the gpt family is surprisingly bad at it, due to a badly designed tokenizer).

These models are still pretty bad at most reasoning tasks. But training on predicting the next word is a perfectly valid strategy, after all the best way to predict what comes after the “=” in 1432 + 212 = is to do the addition.

Now let’s look at Office. Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel. Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort. No, I’m not setting up a DB in an open-source competitor to Access. That’s just too much effort for simple sorting and filtering tasks, and isn’t realistically shareable with other people.

Am I missing something or isn’t it exactly the same thing in libre office ?

I don’t believe that there are solutions that are as complete as team, for video and voice calls it’s among the best.

But it’s so bad for text ! Why do I have to wait for a second when I change channels ? Why does it not support markdown (the partial implementation that it has is arguably worse than no implementation at all) ? Why is the search so bad ?

the two men had been arrested for undermining authority

This is not true in France. Politicians that have proven fraud are arrested and charged. In France we have Sarkozy, Cahuzac, Fillon that were all charged with crimes.

They were president, minister and presidential candidate respectively. I’d be surprised if it was different in the USA. I’m seeing that trump is also being charged, the system seems to be working.

Convolutional neural networks and plant identifying apps came before chat gpt. Beyond both relying on neural networks they don’t have much in common.

Don’t know why you are down voted it’s a good question.

As a matter of fact it almost happened for search engines in France. Newspaper’s argued that snippets were leading people to not go into their ad infested sites thus losing them revenue.

Why would java have an impact on battery performance ? Pretty much all credit cards run java for their encryption algorithms, and they need pretty much no power to run.

I don’t agree. Curvy roads are dangerous, but there are much more conflicts in cities. You’re not going to have many pedestrians in curvy mountain roads.

That said, you are right that the ideal comparison would be int the same city. But I’m not sure that the data exists, I’ll have to look this afternoon.

That said, even if my data is not perfect, it’s much better than taking one accident and saying that self driving cars are dangerous. They are not going to be magically better than humans, after all driving is a difficult task, but we should at least crunch the numbers before dismissing them.

You can’t take one accident and use that to generalize.

You need to take into account all accidents and see how worse humans are.

Cars are naturally dangerous. A robot car is going to have deaths no matter what. That does not mean they are bad if they mean a reduction of cars and accidents. Taxis if done properly can help a public transport system.

They gave them a birth control shot without properly informing them of what it was. Still scandalous, but not what you are saying.
