I asked my goose friend what he thinks about this and he just honked. Though I suspect he didn’t hear me, since he seemed to be busy balancing on his unicycle (his feet can’t reach the pedals, so he has to flap his wings to balance)

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

The silliest person I know was deadly serious and no-nonsense at work. Their silly side only came out among friends. Maybe you just need to befriend a goose?

Reminds me of this:

What, you don’t let your infants play near downed power lines? Kids these days are so sheltered.

You’re on thin ice, buddy

Too bad Nikolai Gogol isn’t around to see this

For extra fun, you can name your variables using solely Unicode invisible characters (e.g. non-breaking space) so they’re impossible to visually distinguish

The monoliths in the US fucking suck, but the ones in Canada are much nicer. I passed one near Toronto and it gave an ominous hum and slowed down so I could pass. Some guy tried tailgating it and got banished, but as long as you aren’t a dick, they’ll leave you alone.

We’re all The Thing here. You’re the only human left. We’re coming for you, LinksOpensChest_wav

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying the rich and powerful have a vested interest in not taking risks that jeopardize their power and wealth, because they have more to lose.

The reason these models are being heavily censored is because big companies are hyper-sensitive to the reputational harm that comes from uncensored (or less-censored) models. This isn’t unique to AI; this same dynamic has played out countless times before. One example is content moderation on social media sites: big players like Facebook tend to be more heavy-handed about moderating than small players like Lemmy. The fact small players don’t need to worry so much about reputational harm is a significant competitive advantage, since it means they have more freedom to take risks, so this situation is probably temporary.

Unfortunately, retrofitting CSP on an existing site can be nightmare, especially if you have external dependencies. At my job, we spent months trying to enable CSP on one our oldest sites, but ultimately gave up because one of our dependencies won’t work unless we added “unsafe-inline” everywhere, which kinda defeats the whole point of CSP.

That’s silly. You don’t need 700 rats to drive, just 4: a sighter, a shifter, gas pedal operator, and brake pedal operator.

I’m woke but I wish I wasn’t (chronic insomnia)

That’s 2^64, which means they’re probably storing the number of days as an 8 byte integer, and that’s the maximum value it can take.

I remember reading an article (can’t find it right now) from a PHD dropout who was doing research in string theory. One of reasons he dropped out is his frustration at how abstract and disconnected from reality his work was. His advisor (and his colleagues) didn’t have that problem, because to him, the math behind string theory was an ends in itself. There’s beauty in math, regardless of whether it has any practical application. If string theory turns out to be an accurate model of reality, then that would be a nice bonus, but that’s not why his advisor studied it.

So to answer your question, if we somehow reach the point where everything that can be feasibly discovered has been discovered, then theoretical scientists would make up their own models and study those.

I looked it up. It’s from sonata 8 (“Pathétique”)

Damn straight. Beethoven’s late sonatas are fucking amazing.

What’s he playing in the fourth panel? Waldstein sonata?
