There are heretical forks that add it in though

Escalate to management as quickly as possible so you’re not just annoying some poor front desk worker that had nothing to do with it.

E3 has been garbage on all levels for like 10 years, it’s for the best.

They’re probably referring to quantum entanglement, which affects the entangled particles instantly.

By the time we invent any sort of lightspeed travel, we’ll have long conquered quantum entanglement. If you have a signal transferred over a properly quantum entangled technology, the signal would transfer instantaneously.

It’s already beatable right now, there are services in third world countries where people get paid fractions of a penny to solve captchas for machines.

Fools are easily parted with their money, and I typically view a lot of misinformation as ways to seek out those exact fools. Not all of it, but a lot.

Take a bunch of crazy people that polite society doesn’t agree with, make them feel seen, and they throw money at you.

At the time I decided on it, I used Sakura as a terminal emulator, plus it’s on the home row. I use a different term emulator now, but the muscle memory remains.

Super + S for a terminal, Super + F for Firefox.

Interesting to find a RyanF9 video here and not in a motorcycle community. But yeah, probably most people here don’t have much interest in Gore-Tex unless they ride or do other outdoorsy things.

I would say of the services to give money to, Discord is on the lesser evil side.

Sure, they lock a bunch of stuff behind Nitro, but they’re at least only giving people ads for their own stuff and not scams or dong pills. Because if nobody paid for anything, that money would have to come from somewhere.

The only thing more eco-friendly than buying an eco-friendly printer, is to not buy a new printer at all.

Both of my local libraries offer printing at $0.25 a page. For photos, I just go to the photo lab at the store and print them there.

Both are cheaper than owning a printer unless you’re doing a ton of it, and in the former case, I get to support a library just a little bit.

I’m not an expert, but I would say that it is going to be less likely for a diffusion model to spit out training data in a completely intact way. The way that LLMs versus diffusion models work are very different.

LLMs work by predicting the next statistically likely token, they take all of the previous text, then predict what the next token will be based on that. So, if you can trick it into a state where the next subsequent tokens are something verbatim from training data, then that’s what you get.

Diffusion models work by taking a randomly generated latent, combining it with the CLIP interpretation of the user’s prompt, then trying to turn the randomly generated information into a new latent which the VAE will then decode into something a human can see, because the latents the model is dealing with are meaningless numbers to humans.

In other words, there’s a lot more randomness to deal with in a diffusion model. You could probably get a specific source image back if you specially crafted a latent and a prompt, which one guy did do by basically running img2img on a specific image that was in the training set and giving it a prompt to spit the same image out again. But that required having the original image in the first place, so it’s not really a weakness in the same way this was for GPT.

One of my favorite search ads that appeared in the mid 2000s happened when I was bored. I searched “grandpa” without any context just to see what would come up, because I really was that bored. One of the ads that appeared was one of those where they just shove your search in the title verbatim so someone not paying attention might think it was what they wanted.

It said something like “Looking for grandpa? Find great deals here!” I don’t remember exactly what the second part said, but the “Looking for grandpa?” part made me bust out laughing. I then started searching other random stuff to try and get something equally stupid, but it didn’t capture me quite the same way. Either way, my boredom was alleviated.

Disclaimer that I’m not English and don’t particularly have a dog in this fight, and my opinions are a little mixed. On the one hand, I agree on the morality there, a lot of people were damaged in the very long term by slavery. But on the other, even if you can say that it’s an act to attempt to return the wealth to the wronged people, that doesn’t mean the wealth has simply been sitting there for nearly 200 years, waiting for return. That money has to come out of some budget, somewhere.

So where are they going to pull 18 trillion to give reparations from? Certainly, cuts will need to be made somewhere to make it happen, and often, those cuts are usually made along the lines of political agendas rather than things that are objectively bloated.
