If they have an expedition then play that mode. I really do not understand why they do not keep an Expedition or two running at all times. They add exactly the amount of depth folks find missing and normally I can run one and then I still play and have fun for another 20 hours before the game gets repetitive and I quit for a bit again.

Movie Star Trek is different from TV Star Trek. Except for Insurrection which is just a 2 part episode in a movie trench coat. And probably Section 31 but I don't plan to watch that and find out.

They both take effort. People act like being nice is free but forget how intensely challenging it is for some neurodivergent people to try to comprehend people's feelings in a situation. Add to that the layers of language barrier and insanely diverse social structures and attitudes of something as massive as the Linux Kernel.

This guy made a pet project and accidentally became the one non corporate owned backbone of modern society. Maybe he doesn't owe us niceties. If being nice to contributers is a critical thing you expect of your release repo maintainer you can always go find a different project to contribute to.

You think the wait staff setup the machine to do math wrong?

It's not his role to be nice, it his role to be right. If your technical leader is more concerned with keeping people happy than keeping the technology good you are going to end up screwed.

Year of the Linux desktop pushed out a year due to Linux infighting and intolerable advocates for the 33rd year. Clearly the fault of the other distros as I use Arch.

Would you rather our current administration make their decisions by using the lowest bidder LLM, or their own brains?

Gonna resurrect Tay?

I had to check what cabinet position he held and was shocked he wasn't in there. He seems like he has all the qualifications they look for.

The point of my second statement is that if you made an AI that stores and retrieves phone numbers that the model could reasonable use phone number chunks in its random number generation. A phone number can normally be broken into 3 to 6 chunks of 1 to 5 numbers which is reasonable sizes to tokenize. If you then asked it for a random number I think it is reasonable that it would be as likely if not more likely to use the data from the phone number list as it would to use the core 0 to 9 tokenized number list unless you specifically tried to split the two.

This is a WhatsApp AI so I think asking it for Tim's number is a use case they trained on. It needs to be a phone book. My guess is they said that list A is a list of public numbers for training things like what a phone number looks like, and list B is a list of private user numbers. Now while a random number could be a random string of numbers it could also be that the LLM is too likely to pull a combination that is actually a real number.

So is this a case where it randomly pulled together 11 digits that magically hit the roughly 1 in in 100 chance that a random string of numbers shaped like a UK phone number would be a number of a user. Is it a case where it pulled from a public combo list of 4 tokens and randomly reformed a real number that was both public and private? That seems more likely to me. We probably won't ever get to know.

If I was making this AI chat bot I would have it check against the most critical data I have for privacy before it shared it as a random number though. WhatsApp phone numbers are its users IDs. Even if it truly randomly generates one it should verify that it is a private number and not output it as it showed it could do when questioned where the number came from.

An LLM cannot generate random numbers. It has to pull from a list of numbers its model was built to include.

Switch 2 to me is something I'm okay with from the perspective of, I think these consoles need to update more often. Nintendo didn't have anything revolutionary to add this time around, but wanted to update the Switch because it had been 8 years. It's nearly 100% backwards compatible. This is a better choice than the WiiU which basically was Wii without the fun.

I'm curious what Sony and Microsoft do because there isn't any new improved tech for those devices that would really drive a better experience for people. Microsoft seems to be toying with the Xbox isn't a single device it's an experience concept. Sony made the Pro and no one cared.

Other countries have them as well but the US has the most pervasive one.

Your credit score is based on the history of accounts and payments. If you have late payments it goes down. If you have many accounts for a long time in good standing it is goes up. A person who has many accounts and has paid off everything for 15 years might have a score of 800. Someone who has missed credit card payments and has things in collections might have a 550.

When you go to get a loan for a house or car the high credit score person might be given a 5% loan and the low credit score person no loan or a very poor rate sometimes over 20%. It can take years to change your credit score.

He is the 21st most popular Twitch streamer and the most popular left wing Twitch streamer. His Uncle is Cenk who is co founder of The Young Turks. He is very very well known for actual Left wing politics.

How? I don't get it. I'm not gonna go learn how to draw well just so I can shitpost. I'm not taking an artists job by using GenAI to make a picture of a Cat driving a moped. Using GenAI is not power intensive only training GenAI is and people using or not using it for trash memes isnt going to change if they chose to train another AI model.

Every system is racist because every system is human and humans are flawed. Credit scores include systemic racism and banks making calls based on their gut is direct practiced racism. Systemic racism is much easier to slowly over time work out as long as you recognize it. But the only way to stop direct racism is to take at least some of the power away from individuals.

The systemic racism like the structural one in the argument can only be gotten rid of if you entirely removed the concepts of loans. The problem with that is it is impossible. The majority of the folks who have attempted to outlaw usury and loans entirely are not really looked back upon fondly in a historical sense.

There is also the legality of it and if it is treasonous. The one person at least the senators have some saftey nets from the Supreme Court but they still are at risk here.

SNW S1E2 - Children of the Comet. This is a tricky one because of potential predestination and the end result being an accidental major break of the prime directive. A warp capable civilization is certain that a comet must destroy a pre warp civilization and refuse to let that change. The issue is that the ship/comet wants the Federation to interfere and does not intend to hit the planet. This is all in Federation space.

Another in Federation space that is also a loose fit is LD S5E7 - Fully Dialated where the crew must recover Data's head from an alternate reality that has fallen on a pre warp world. The loose fit here is that the only reason they count as external is that it is Purple Data who is not technically a a member of this realities Federation and thus an outsider.

Lastly a decent fit but outside Federation space is Prodigy S1E7 - First Con-Tact. The crew first breaks the prime directive by making first contact with a pre warp civilization but then defends it by stopping a Ferengi from influence the civilization negatively. This is outside Federation space though.

The world doesn't work better if people help those closest to them. The majority of the strife in the world exists because people help those close to them and treat others as outsiders. You can look at any system ever used and the point of failure is always someone tipping the scales intentionally to favor those near them.

I drink milk, but milk isn't superior to oat milk.

mammal milk has specific ingredients that are meant to specifically feed infants of that animal. So its often high in fat and has specific things that are meant to be digested by that animal. Breast milk from a human has special ingredients that help digest the high lactose content and those ingredients are not in other milks.

Now Oats have been designed over years to be digested by humans and other animals. They propagate by being consumed and then travel to other areas post consumption. The nutrition in oats and other vegetables is mostly there specifically to drive animals like us to eat them so that we propagate them.
