You mean the CCP is not an “individual or group”?

If Trump is allowed to carry out his deportation plans, he’ll deport American citizens (“by accident”), I guarantee it.

Let me tell your about prizefighters…

Putting the 5 in PS5

Well shit. OP was right. That didn’t work out very well for me.

I, like the OP, was also studying math from a textbook and using GPT4 to help clear things up. GPT4 caught an error in the textbook.

The LLM doesn’t have a theory of mind, it wont start over and try to explain a concept from a completely new angle, it mostly just repeats the same stuff over and over. Still, once I have figured something out, I can ask the LLM if my ideas are correct and it sometimes makes small corrections.

Overall, most of my learning came from the textbook, and talking with the LLM about the concepts I had learned helped cement them in my brain. I didn’t learn a whole lot from the LLM directly, but it was good enough to confirm what I learned from the textbook and sometimes correct mistakes.

I don’t believe you

Instead of a planned layoff, it’s a layoff of random people, with a bias towards laying off the most capable.

If all the cars are the same price I’ll buy the one with the upgrade options and then not pay for them.

Anti-trust lawyers are rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.

If ByteDance is a normal company they will seek profits and sell for as much as they can.

But if TikTok is a Chinese psyop, they’ll just use any of the many legal tricks we allow to change the “owner” while China still retains control. Companies do this all the time, look at shell companies and such. It’s super easy for China to mask the true owner if they decide to.

This is why we should make broadly applicable regulations instead of picking on one specific company.

If TikTok’s purpose is to spread Chinese propaganda, can’t they just find a US Citizen that can run the website for them?

“Yeah, it’s my personal website where I exercise my 1st Amendment rights, also it has 100 million daily users and I happen to agree with China on a lot of things.” If a US Citizen were to say this, there would be nothing illegal about it I think?

I’ve always wondered what would happen if ByteDance sells TikTok for $5 to a US Citizen who frequently visits China for lavish vacations, and that US Citizen decide to keep all the algorithms the same.

If China has an ulterior motive with TIkTok, can’t they just find a US Citizen to carry out their ulterior motive?

Video games were such a wild west back in the 80s and 90s that it’s often not clear who even owns the copyright anymore.

Earlier you said:

i’m permanently anti democrat party

and I read that as “I will never vote democrat”. I see now that’s not what you said.

I too would love to see us do better than the two deeply flawed parties we have now. I wish we had a better voting system that allowed better parties.

Bipartisan support is only rare when it comes to things like giving healthcare to the poor.

I get you, but asking people to participate in democracy is not “weaponization”, and I’m 100% okay with popular figures, even from other countries, telling people how to vote, because who doesn’t tell people how to vote these days?

As an programmer, I want to think out loud about possible technical solutions.

I would have kept the understandable / hand-made algorithm as the core of search results. If you want to do fancy machine learning, do it on the periphery and we can include the machine output in our algorithm and weight its importance by hand. This would allow us to back out of the decision, because we could lower the weight of the machine learning output as needed.

It sounds like Google jumped strait to including the machine learning in the core algorithm though, and now with a decade of complexity in the core algorithm they are no longer able to go back without huge effort.

In general, it’s important to consider “is this a decision we can easily back out of?”.

Also, to get that clarity I was seeking. Do you:

1. Recommend people vote for Democrats (sounds like no).
2. Recommend people vote for Republicans.
3. Recommend people vote for third-parties or not vote at all.

These are the only 3 possibilities. Which are you?

For example, if you believe that Republicans are better for LGBT issues, then I want to hear you say it: “I think Republicans are better on LGBT issues”. I have my own opinion on this which I will keep to myself, I really just want you to be clear about your view and then let everyone judge for themselves what they think is right.
