I had something kiind of similar once, where it would only boot after trying to boot once, letting it run a bit in idle, and then rebooting where it would actually succeed. Turned out I forgot to put the clear cmos jumper back to neutral after i reset cmos.

So my best guess (other than new battery) is check the jumpers maybe

And my point was that it might not necessarily be worse for artists outside of the extremelg successful ones.

Counterpoint: Without music streaming or pirating I wouldn’t have discovered most of the artists I listen to. Artists of which I have bought concert tickets and merch (and in one case recurring support through youtube membership), and even just buying songs on bandcamp outright in spite of only listening via streaming.

Streaming is shit at generating revenue, but far far better at allowing artists to get noticed, which puts more power into the artists’ hands rather than labels. “Support what you like through donations and merch” seems like a much better model overall (and has been proven to work), which also allows people with less money to enjoy the music while those with money to spare support it (and usually artists would want nothing more than for everyone to be able to enjoy their work, but they also have to live off something).

Though this is an outside perspective and I’d be interested in what actual musicians have to say about it, particularly those that have been making a living/significant money off it both before and after the event of streaming (and not the huge ones, because they never had any exposure issues).

There’s also a chance that as a result of the discoverability, even if total money reaching the artists was unchanged, it’s split over more recipients, so it’s harder to actually make a living off it, but maybe easier to see at least some returns instead of it only being a money sink. Whether that’d be good or bad overall I can’t say.

Also since this thread is about games, I don’t think it really applies there since games are on average MUCH more expensive to make.

The hypothesis kind of seems like selection bias to me. It seems more likely to me that in order for life to flourish as it has on earth, it has to (by pure chance) create a self regulating system, as otherwise it will eventually die off. What’s interesting (and I hadnt thought about prior to reading the wikipedia article) to me is that it seems possible that the current rapid temperature rise will lead to some organism(s) we don’t know or think about multiplying like crazy, and that has some form of cooling effect due to the organism’s emissions or w/e. Industrialized humans appear to be the most extreme (in the sense of rapid, persistent change) climate event to happen to this planet since it has had life, but at the very least we’re not the first time something fucked up the climate. Maybe we’ll just get lucky after all.

I think there’s a blurry line here where you can easily train an LLM to just regurgitate the source material by overfitting, and at what point is it “transformative enough”? I think there’s little doubt that current flagship models usually are transformative enough, but that doesn’t apply to everything using the same technology - even though this case will be used as precedence for all of that.

There’s also another issue in that while safeguards are generally in place, without them llms would be very capable of quoting entire pages at least of popular books. And jailbreaking llms isn’t exactly unheard of. They also at least used to really like just verbatim repeating news articles on obscure topics.

What I’m mainly getting at is that LLMs can be transformative, but they also can plagiarize. Much like any human could. The question is then, if training LLMs on copyrighted data is allowed, will the company be held accountable when their LLM does plagiarize, the same way a person would be? Or would the better decision be to prohibit training on copyrighted data because actually transforming it meaningfully can not be guaranteed, and copyright holders actually finding these violations is very hard?

Though idk the case details, if the argument was purely focused on using the material to produce the model, rather than including the ultimate step of outputting text to anyone who asks, it was probably doomed to fail from the start and the decision makes perfect sense. And that doesn’t seem too unlikely to have happened because realizing this would require the lawyer making the case to actually understand what training an LLM does.

It’s almost like prion disease is rare. If you can get vCJD from eating meat of a cow that had BSE, you can very likely also get it from eating a human that had vCJD. Particularly given that it is proven to be transmissable via blood transfusion. And that cows can get BSE from eating other cows. BSE outbreaks are also pretty much the only instance in which we actually have enough data on cannibalism and the potential of disease spread.

The reason we don’t have many cases is that we don’t eat people and that the diseases that you’re likely to contract from doing so that don’t die from cooking are very rare. Add to that that even cultures that do consume human meat generally only do so to a very limited degree (and often from people that died violently rather than disease or old age), and of course not much has been recorded.

Since prions can occur spontaneously, it is very possible that a culture of frequently consuming human meat indiscriminately could even eventually lead to some new prion disease spreading which happens to transmit via meat consumption at an above average rate.

I agree with you in general but cannibalism is actually bad because prion disease. Not eating other people makes sense for simply health reasons.

I mean I still think if everyone involved consents it should be allowed, but there’s a good reason we don’t like it as a society.

Satire based on Israel’s rhethoric I’m assuming.

Yes. Until they get so extreme they ruin your life. That’s the whole thing with disorders. (Almost) everyone has some anxiety. Only some people have it so bad it interferes with daily functioning. Adhd is the same. Everyone procrastinates, forgets stuff, gets distracted. Not everyone is incapable of doing basic shit like taking out trash bags for months.

And I’d bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn’t mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.

Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don’t have to change any accounts.

Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I’ll finally do it now.

There’s a major differencebetween something entirely made up that your parents know is bullshit and something that’s false but your parents genuinely believe, because thr delivery will be very different. Especially if even the danger of the myth is exaggerated (I was always told it’s a bit dangerous and to not do it but never that it’s a huge risk of death).

Though also being lied to about some dangers would make me think that everything I’ve been warned about is false or greatly exaggerated, and I’m very grateful that despite being quite anxious about my safety, my mom never did that. But that might be an autism thing because reportedly if she explained why something was bad I’d get it and just not do it, even when I was very young.

I do partially blame my teenage depression-fueled 2ish years of barely every brushing my teeth, the consequences of which I’m still dealing with, on being told that even skipping one day is really bad and I will probably get cavities if I do that a few times. Cue me skipping it on some days because of mental health, realizing that even after months of occasionally doing that my teeth are still fine (including the dentist saying they’re doing great and no issues), and subsequently no longer being able to find the motivation to do it at all since the consequences I was trying to avoid never materialized.

AI does not have a consistent definition. It wouldn’t be wrong to call an automatic thermostat that adjusts the heating based on measured temperature “AI”. It’s basically down to how you define intelligence, then it’s just a computer doing that.

I love nihilism because accepting that nothing inherently matters allows me to focus on the things that I decide matter to me. It also makes it easier for me to accept those things I dislike but am truly powerless to change.

I think I’d be so much unhappier if I was in some constant pursuit of a universal meaning of life, or felt like I had to fulfill some inherent purpose.

Tbf there’s a konbini with trash cans every few hundred meters. Only issue being if you don’t buy something it’s not considered ok to use them afaik, but can just buy sth to eat immediately and throw away the packaging there or just something smaller than your trash and bring it with you after.

Or honestly ignore it because realistically as a tourist all your trash came from the previous konbini anyway and it would just even out. Just don’t go there to dump whatever.

The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.

Which is not the same as the effects of urban sprawl destroying their habitat (however this is obviously impossible to quantify)

In what fantasy world do we stop using it large scale for any reason other than supply dries up? Freight ships run on oil, planes run on oil, both do not have economically viable alternatives yet. Cars run on oil and it will take more than 2-3 decades until 95%+ of global cars are EVs. Plastic currently uses around 10% of global oil supply, so even if everything else drops to 0 we still need a lot.

Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It’s gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn’t have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).

Though there’s a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.

Might be because of local accent as well, I don’t speak a word of spanish but I’d be very surprised if there’s no difference between spanish in spain and spanish in colombia
