At what point does it become more sensible to black hat these zero days? If the company you are helping out isn't willing to give you more than the finger for your help it seems like you're the fool in that arrangement.
An LLM is a tool. It's your choice how you use it. I think there are at least two ways to use it that are helpful but don't replace your thinking. I sometimes have a problem I don't know how to solve that's too complex to ask google. I can write a paragraph in ChatGPT and it will "understand" what I'm asking and usually give me useful suggestions. Also I sometimes use it to do tedious and repetitive work I just don't want to do.
I don't generally ask it to write my code for me because that's the fun part of the job.
It stays stationary because you're effectively tightening one bolt and loosening the other. Imagine the point of contact between the bolts is a line drawn on a stationary nut instead. Is that line moving clockwise or counterclockwise around the bolt? One way tightens, the other way loosens. And it's opposite for the two bolts.
That's not a valid argument, though. Firstly nobody lives forever. Second you don't have to exert all the effort at once, so the totality of effort doesn't matter. At any given time you just have to decide whether to have the snickers bar or the apple. And that's not an impossible effort. We don't live our entire lives all at once. We just have to be present for one moment at a time.
Edit: In my opinion it's hard for two reasons. We have cravings for high calorie foods. And no one candy bar will make you fat, so it's easy to think "I'll exercise more tomorrow to make up for this indulgence." But then you don't, because that's hard too.
So what? It's easy to find people who believe nothing is wrong. All they have to do is ignore all the measurements of temperature, sea ice, CO2, methane, species extinction, peak oil, and whatever else contradicts their fondly held world view. Hey, don't look behind the curtain, look over here, everything is fine.
So SBF is a con-man who realized that it's easy to scam the EA community. All you need to do is learn their language and "pledge" to give away a lot of money. Then the donations will start pouring in.
I guess it's not that different from any other in-group. If you're seen as a trusted member, others will give you the benefit of the doubt as far as they can.
I don't see that much of a difference between those two definitions. Cory's explanation was more specific, but it still referred to a service taking steps to be more profitable and in the process making the experience shittier for users and business customers.
A neighbors cat was being harassed by a bird once. It would dive bomb the cat then fly away quickly. It did this multiple times while I watched. The cat got tired of it after a while and stood perfectly still. The bird swooped down toward it and, just as it was close enough, the cat leapt in the air twisting its body upside down mid leap and grabbed the bird from the air. It was the first time I saw how a normal cat could be such an effective natural killer.
I am not a lawyer. That said, I'm not sure this counts as news.
The Rogers test comes from the 1989 case Rogers vs Grimaldi where a Ginger Rogers sued the defendants for making the flim "Ginger and Fred", saying they used her name and people thought she was involved in the film. The court ruled in favor of the defendants, finding that the film was a work of artistic expression, not a commercial product, an therefore not subject to the Lanham Act. The court used the Rogers test, which states that the use of a third-party mark in an expressive work does not violate the Lanham Act “Unless the title has no artistic relevance to the underlying work whatsoever, or, if it has some artistic relevance, unless the title misleads as to the source or the content of the work.”
Since then the Rogers test has been used rather inconsistently by various courts. In Cliff Notes vs Bantam, the defendant was selling books that parodied cliff notes, and used their distinctive black and yellow trade dress. The court ruled for the defendant, saying Rogers test applied because the defendant's use did not create a strong likelihood of confusion, ignoring the artistic relevance part of the Rogers test. Other courts have required a "particularly compelling" likelihood of confusion and have generally favored artistic expression, though not always.
The article argues that this is a reversal of a long standing clear precedent. But the precedent is not really clear. Various courts have struggled to determine whether a product was "artistically relevant" and whether consumers would be confused as to whether the paordied product was sponsored or created by the original since the Rogers case. And they have applied the precedent somewhat inconsistently that whole time. This is just one case where the court has ruled for the plaintif.
"Although still high, Europe's dependence on Russian diesel has almost halved from pre-war levels when the region sourced 46% of its diesel imports from Russia, the data showed."
Not smarter. Not even trying to hide it. And Russia is selling oil at a price they set. It's just the EU that's paying more to pretend they aren't doing business with Russia.
"India’s diesel exports tripled to ~1,600,000 barrels per day in March 2023, compared to a year ago, making diesel one of the largest components of India-EU trade."
Hadn't heard of "basic TV mode" but it seems to be a feature of any Google TV device made in the last year or two. They say it will disable all smart tv features and leave only the HDMI inputs and antenna input.
It sounds like you're arguing that we can't decide to change what our priorities are as a society because previous generations already made a decision for us. In the US the decision was made around 100 years ago to focus on cars and focus less on public transit because it's easier to make money selling cars. The most important policy consideration in the US is always 'will it produce more profit for the owning class'. So we developed infrastructure that forces us to rely on cars. Different priorities prompted different decisions in other countries. In the Netherlands 27% of all trips and 25% of trips to work are made by bike. There are still fat people (though fewer), old people, and disabled people there. But they have collectively decided that bikes are a good idea. They have winters there. It rains there. The only real argument against biking in the US is we don't have as much infrastructure built for it as other countries. And that's because we have decided not to have it. We can always change our minds and build it.
Sri Lanka is an interesting case study. President Rajapaksa suddenly banned using pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. It caused significant reductions in crop yields and ended up costing the country a great deal of money. This article in Vox seems to cover it in a pretty balanced way (https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2022/7/15/23218969/sri-la...).
I like organic farming. I use an organic approach for my home garden. But yields are lower than with conventional farming. Even the most positive studies agree on that (see https://news.berkeley.edu/2014/12/09/organic-conventional-fa...). It also takes more effort, which means more people would have to be farmers than currently.
It may be what's used in dechlorinator products, but vitamin C (ascorbic acid, or Sodium Ascorbate) does a good job of converting chloramines (or just chlorine) to salt, NaCl. I used an ascorbic acid shower filter for years when living in a city that used chloramine in their water. It worked well and I could tell every five months or so that it needed to be refilled because my skin started itching from the chlorine.
Feeling grumpy today, I guess.
