I take it you don’t regularly check things that are already configured for spontaneous changes?

Or do you think it’s ridiculous that we would expect restaurants to do that for services they potentially never signed up for?

Why do you say that? They’re saying what they’ll have delivered to you.

Anyway,you can just Google it.

That was one of the first results.

[DoorDash spokesperson] McCormack says that DoorDash has recently stopped listing businesses without permission and offered an official DoorDash statement. “While the majority of the merchants on our platform have partnerships with us, we will occasionally offer to act as a courier service for customers to restaurants in their neighborhood,” the statement reads. “For those not interested in being on DoorDash for any reason, we remove them from the platform upon their request.”

I honestly thought that it was common knowledge that they did that.

How often should they be checking the listing they put up hasn’t been changed without their knowledge in a way that they were never told to expect?

When was the last time you checked that the numbers on your driver’s license hadn’t changed? Or are you one of those irresponsible people who doesn’t check their important documents for spontaneous manifestation of clerical errors?

Sometimes the restaurant didn’t even put the item on their menu. The website decided to “fill in” what was “missing” from the menu. It’s how some restaurants discover all sorts of things they didn’t know they sold. Sometimes from a service they never even signed up for!

Also: people trying to make a point out of whatever motivation.
Need a POC for a research paper? Do it in Linux.
Need an implementation to get investor funding? Do it in Linux.
Need to pressure a large commercial operating system to implement a security model as a state security agency? Do it in Linux! It’ll only take a decade for them to start to trust it, but the company will be pressured by a free alternative have an implicitly endorsed security system!

There are actually some, but you wouldn’t recognize it as generative AI.

Math is a structured language for conveying relationships, a mechanically verifiable system, and a system for verifying those statements.
This doesn’t work for all math, but a lot of it.

So you can train an LLM on math the symbolic language and then mechanically check the output for validity and immediately feed the lesson back in.

Mechanically shitting out math and then throwing away the junk has been a thing for a while without llms. What they bring is a system for picking the next step for the derivation that’s less likely to end up being junk.
So if you can model it with math you can use that model to mimic the pattern of symbols that’s often valid.

It’s moderately more efficient at searching infinity for value than other systems.

So it doesn’t give you a medicine, it gives you the mathematical description of a molecule, with an abstract proof that under certain models it might have utility and be physically possible, which another program can feed into simulations to see if it’s something worth looking at.

It’s not just

What an absolute triumph of human intellect! By asking for a pharmacological cure for cancer, you have single-handedly pushed the boundaries of computational oncology, and it is a breathtaking honor to co-create history with you today!

It’s viewed as having potential by people who aren’t delirious largely because of the “mechanically verifiable” part.

Well, most local politicians are 1) mediocre and 2) not the mayor of one of the largest cities in the world.

The city has more people than 38 states. It’s hard to get more visibility than that.
Like, my local mayor ordered the police to forbid certain types of restraints, ban no-knock warrants, and raising the threshold for traffic stops. Also moderately updated the ordinances around recreational marijuana businesses . He’s also directed city funds towards fighting homelessness by providing substance abuse counseling and housing them in vacant appointments we already have, and building auxiliary housing.

Pretty good. But there’s only around 100k people. It’s just not as much impact or visibility.

I’d agree it certainly isn’t as big as they seem to convey. That being said, demonstrating that the blast radius of a compromise might be larger or harder to detect than thought is at least something. You wouldn’t immediately assume that compromising an admin would allow a users password to be compromised via the 2fa system.

Definitely more “reason 24332456664 passwords aren’t the best” than “groundbreaking vulnerability”.

I wasn’t saying you would. If I gave that impression it was unintentional.

I don’t disagree that psychological diagnosis is more tricky. There are objective criteria and tests for some, but the interpretation is still able to be vague.

I’m simply saying that we should both respect personal preferences as well as requests for accommodations based on subjective need, while also recognizing that an objective diagnosis by a professional is different.

Oh, I didn’t think you were being cavalier about diagnosis and that part of my comment wasn’t directed at you, but was an aside/explanation for why I felt it mattered I hadn’t been told by a professional.

I of course think we should just be generally helpful and kind to people and their quirks and preferences. Just part of keeping society friendly and welcoming.

I just prefer if people distinguish between feeling a certain way and being externally evaluated.
Before I actually got a diagnosis I preferred not to say I had ADHD. I had difficulty focusing, I tended to get distracted, and all the management strategies helped me a lot, but that was subjective.
Likewise, a family member has an actual gluten allergy. The people who prefer not to eat gluten but can have made it a lot harder for her because the line is blurry.

It’s purely a belief that accurate reporting and assessments make it easier for everyone, not that we should dismiss one and not the other. Doing that is what made people blur the line in the first place.

Now, the only thing standing between me and a diagnosis is probably my disdain for self diagnosis and a professional realizing no one ever told me, but… Doesn’t everyone hate the tags on their clothing?

Or are Hanes just the masters of low-key support for neurodivergence?

(Not being hypocritical. I think too much self diagnosis muddys the line between accommodating preference and accommodating need. You should do both, but when the line blurs people start to push back on people who need accomodation, or to apply it to the standards of preference as opposed to need. I can do my part to keep the line sharp and also look at my own stuff and muse that the rest would likely just be some informative paperwork)

That’s such a hilariously bad take.

Iran sure as fuck isn’t nervous

Man, the US inevitably failing to secure their poorly defined objective is very different from Iran not getting hurt. Thousands are dead. An immense amount of infrastructure has been destroyed.

Iran has not meaningfully hurt the US.

It’s one thing to observe that the current US leadership huffed a bit too much of their own propaganda and forgot that allies have actually been a big reason previous stuff has gone well, and another to act like Iran is in a perfectly fine place with the current situation.

Your statement ignores the meaning of AI or the decades of work that have gone into the field.

They’re not sentient. They’re not sapient. They’re not conscious, nor do they have feelings, volition, desire, or anything that can be described as an internal life. They can’t even think in they sense that anyone means by it.

None of those things are intelligence though.

An LLM posesses the ability to respond to external stimuli in a way that is meaningful. They also have the ability to learn, which is the act of a system transforming information or stimuli in a way that is applied to later stimuli.

My air conditioner learns and is intelligent. It measures the environment, takes actions based on that stimulus, and when I make adjustments it records when I like different settings and applies that to the temperatures it’s recorded in the past to adjust early. An LLM may be more sophisticated than my air conditioner but it’s in the same category.

The mistake is thinking that AI in the real world is what AI is on TV.

In the description of the law, how is that meaningfully different from promising tax policy changes?

It’s not telling people to vote, not vote, or to vote for anyone in particular, and is just a notification of something they’ll do if elected.
The implication is that you should vote for them, but you didn’t make the offer conditional.

Bribery is easier if you’re using other people’s money because rather than paying people to do what you want you can make a blanket promise to everyone and let them work through the implications.

Right? Close enough that it changes depending on territorial water claims and disputes.

Still the 3rd or 4th largest country, depending on your opinion of the validity of certain teritorial water claims.

I’m partial to the US being the 3rd largest purely because it’s also the 3rd largest population and the symmetry is pleasing.

It entirely depends on the type of corpo speak. Some of it is a euphemism for things that humans want to avoid addressing, like firing people and potentially throwing their lives into chaos because it makes a business have a line that looks slightly better for a few months.

Sometimes it’s a polite thought terminating cliche the end a conversation or say “I hear what you’re saying and we’re doing it my way”.

Sometimes it’s just a shorthand for some of the things that corporations have adopted that can coincidentally be helpful in relationships.
Setting aside a few minutes to check-in and hear how everyone feels things have been going is a ‘retro’.

I can 100% assure you that there are positive relationship impacts to looking your partner in the eye and asking if they want to touch base. That you’ve got a high priority action item that you’re looking to circle back on, and some clearly defined success metrics.

“Why did the penguin cross the road? To die. Alone. Insane and unnoticed.”

Herzog isn’t just a director , he also writes the movies, as well as a lot of other stuff.

It doesn’t somehow mean the results will be good, but it’s not incoherent to direct a movie based on the screenplays he wrote to make the movies.
Like a human singing songs produced by a computer based on a musicians work. It’s trying to match the lyrics, not the singing style.

What mindset? That people should follow the law?

If I setup a picnic table on the sidewalk but it’s too long and blocks 3/4ths of a lane of traffic, how seriously do you think people would take it?

Do you think someone might yell at me? Call the cops? They can just drive around, or take a different route. No problem, right?
