People are alluding to it, but not attributing the blame correctly: the “need” to leash kids is yet another negative consequence of car-dependent urban design.

So if nobody else is in charge of them, Newsom should take command and order them to go back home.

What the fuck do you think learning vocabulary by reading is, if not memorization? You’re just doing it subconsciously rather than intentionally.

Sometimes I wonder if Firefox actually has low market share, of if this sort of shit just skews the statistics.

I, for one, refuse to spoof my browser because I want them to know Chrome is not as dominant as they think.

Doesn’t help my employer moved me here then reneged on my proposed salary

Look up “promissory estoppel.”

You are incredibly naive if you think they can’t manufacture an excuse no matter how docile we are.

Whatever they choose to do is fuelling his ascension to dictatorship.

Which means the only strategy left (besides capitulation) is to play their game and beat them at it.

It’s not “allegiance to the party;” that’s a fucking lie. It’s understanding of game theory and harm reduction.

Quit your bullshit.

The reason “ACAB” is a thing is that “good cops” pretty quickly either cease to be good or cease to be cops (e.g. Frank Serpico).

That’s why the “a few bad apples” analogy applies: because they spoil the bunch. The whole bunch, without exception.

How rural? I found a Sikh temple north of Santa Fe that could maybe use it for their langar.

Newsom should do more than that; he should order them to stand down and direct the California Bureau of Investigation, California Highway Patrol, or California State Guard to arrest any troops who fail to comply.

There is an implicit assumption here that models are being ‘trained’, perhaps because LLMs are a hot topic. By models we are usually talking about things like decision trees or regression models or Markov models that put in risk probabilities of various eventualities based on patient characteristics.

[Citation needed]

If these things were being based on traditional AI techniques instead of neural network techniques, why are they getting implemented now (when, as you say, LLMs are the hot topic) instead of a decade or so ago when that other stuff was in vogue?

I think the assumption that they’re using training data is a very good one in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

I’d like to know what specific steps are being taken to remove the bias from the training data, then. You cannot just feed the model a big spreadsheet of human decisions up to this point because the current system is itself biased; all you’ll get if you do that is a tool that’s more consistent in applying the same systemic skew.

The civil rights movement succeeded because the authorities were made to realize that if they didn’t play ball with MLK, folks like Malcolm X and Huey Newton were the alternative.

What I’m trying to say is: fight back while you still can! If this doesn’t happen soon and in an organized way, it will be too late and history will repeat itself.

Except it won’t, because this time there’s no external superpower to save us from ourselves.

(arguably, with the caveat that they’re part of a militia, but that’s a whole other discussion).

Arguably, it’s the same discussion. Theoretically, the National Guard is the [organized] militia, and the fact that it’s fighting against the people instead of defending them just goes to show how perverted it’s become from its original purpose.

By the way, I say “[organized]” because the “unorganized militia” is defined as:

all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States

(Yes, you read that right: even the ‘dreamers’ and asylum-seekers the thugs are trying to deport count as militia as long as they’ve declared that they want to become citizens. Also, yes, the definition is sexist and really ought to be updated to be gender-neutral.)

Also by the way, the National Guard/militia is supposed to be under the control of the state governor, not the President. So that’s another way this is fucked up: I would argue that Trump is violating the 2nd Amendment, on to of everything else, by usurping the militia.

And that’s why vandalism to destroy them is ethical.

No, that’s now. Look at what happened yesterday in L.A., for instance.

The real “fiscal conservatives” are the “bleeding-heart liberals.”
