Not really, if you read the paper what they’re doing is creating an image that looks like a dog, is labeled as a dog, but is very close to the model’s version of a cat in feature space. This means manual review of the training set won’t help.

I’m skeptical that an LLM could answer questions as effectively just with documentation. A big part of the value in stack overflow and similar sites is that the answers provided come from people who have experience with a given technology and have some understanding of the pain points. Often times you can ask the wrong question and still get a useful answer because the context is enough for others to figure out what you might be confused by.

I’m not sure an LLM could do the same just given the docs, but it would be interesting to see how close it could get.

So…limewire?

Idk if that would be a good business decision. They would want it to be free and easy to start a channel still, so it would mean once your channel gets to a certain popularity google makes the deal progressively worse. This would create a big incentive for competition if all your biggest content creators are suddenly paying over cost to subsidize smaller channels.

Not that this would be a bad thing, but I don’t see why google would ever want to risk it.

Seems like a lot of stuff like that though. At this point I only use windows to play games and I want to interact with the OS as little as possible, so I don’t understand why I would want an updated UI with more ads and Microsoft integrations when it does nothing to improve what I actually use it for.

Well if our democracy is predicated on the idea that the populace governs itself, then the populous is being governed by people with a sixth grade reading level.

Why would you expect that to take 30 years to get back to $0 though?

Are you not counting your house as an asset when calculating net worth?

Are you trying to argue two politicians can either be interchangeable or completely opposite with no middle ground?

I watched their video about this and I don’t think it’s really that simple. Yes, approval voting means your first choice will never harm your second choice, but your 2nd choice can still absolutely harm your 1st choice. In a situation where there are 3 (or more) approximately tied candidates, voting for any candidate which is not your favorite is likely to harm your favorite’s chances.

Also, their example of a “spoiler” effect doesn’t really convince me. Sure, they negatively frame it by calling the winner party “bad”, but that candidate got more first round votes than the other candidates so it’s logical for it to have an advantage over a candidate who is mostly a second choice.

It doesn’t seem like a likely scenario either, it requires a scenario where voters who prefer candidate A want B as their second choice, but voters who want candidate B have no agreement with candidate A.

I’m just constantly disappointed by how much these shows choose style over substance. It’s like the writers picked a bunch of cool looking concept art and then left it to the intern to tie all the scenes together.

How does everyone know the map will lead to Thrawn?

Why does Thrawn send Baylan and Shin, probably his most valuable assets for fighting Jedi, into the wilderness with no plan to coordinate or communicate with them?

Why do the protagonists spend so much time shepherding the turtle people and then just abandon them?

Why doesn’t Thrawn send another pass of tie fighters to make sure the protagonists ship is fully disabled?

Why is it a ship equipped for orbital bombardment can’t do shit to running right underneath it?

Why weren’t the fucking doors closed?

Why did they only have two stormtroopers guarding the main entrance to their ship?

It’s just the laziest writing I’ve seen so far in one of these shows. A show doesn’t need to explain everything to you, but it’s tough to be invested in a story where there are no consistent rules and the characters actions often don’t make sense.
