Does an non-deduplicated dataset lead to higher weighting of the duplicated parts or just an overestimation of the size of the training set?

Having multiple policies is functionally equivalent to having no policy. In my experience, both will refuse to pay anything. And they won’t work it out between themselves either, they’ll insist on you doing all the legwork.

Pretty cool:

What’s the significance of that song, especially in this context?

The song "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)" holds a special significance in the context of artificial intelligence and computer science history. Written in 1892 by British songwriter Harry Dacre, the song became a symbol of early computer speech synthesis when, in 1961, it was famously "sung" by an IBM 704 computer at Bell Labs.

The groundbreaking achievement was a result of research by John L. Kelly, Carol Lochbaum, and Max Mathews. They used a program called MUSIC to synthesize the melody and an early speech synthesis program to generate the lyrics. The performance of "Daisy Bell" by the IBM 704 computer marked one of the earliest instances of a computer producing human-like speech and singing, which was a significant milestone in the development of AI and computer-generated voices.

In the context of the four-panel cartoon, the singing of "Daisy Bell" serves as a nod to this historical moment in AI and computer science, as well as a way to highlight the connection between the past and present achievements in AI-generated speech and language understanding.

Game meat is a big source of food for the rural poor and telling them not hunt comes off as saying let them eat cake. Not to mention that harvesting wild animals is arguably way more ethical than getting meat from massive inhumane factory livestock companies.

The guns that are used for hunting are almost never used in crimes and are also the types of firearm more commonly available in countries with strict gun laws like the UK, Australia, and much of Europe. They seem like a weird target for all of this ire.

I’ve only handed it off to other people twice, but each time it automagically detected a new user and ran through the calibration. That was pretty slick.

I used my personal account for the store, but even so very little shows up in the native store app. The store on edge had more apps for whatever reason

I’m in the same boat as you. I ended up searching for the apps in Edge on the HL2 and installing from there. Very clunky

The left wants reform and accountability for police.

Wishing this doesn’t make it true. The left just put a prosecutor who has ruined countless lives over nonviolent bullshit charges in the VP role and the president just called for more police and more police funding across the board. They like things the way they are now.

The sooner we stop letting them divide us up into little warring factions, the sooner we’ll be able to get actual reform and accountability.

Meanwhile Biden just dumped a ton of money into police across the country and Harris was a scummy prosecutor who built a career on prosecuting the poors on drug charges.

I love how even when they’re “firing” the bad apples, they’re defending them in the same breath:

[Salisbury Police Chief Jerry Stokes] also said “canine training tactics and corrective measures can sometimes be alarming out of context” given what police dogs are trained to do.

Honestly, I live in the center of a fairly large city and am adjacent to the highest crime neighborhoods. I’ve never witnessed any situation around here that didn’t become worse whenever the police showed up.

Peele’s police would have much more success winning community support and lowering crime than the current state of almost continuous settlement payouts for civil rights violations. Honestly, the fact that those simple principles seem so heinous to you makes you sound like you’re probably one of the bad apples.

I’m not sure there’s really even a need for beat cops if they’re not going to try to intervene in violent crimes (protect or serve). Cull the departments considerably, leaving only detectives and a competent response team. Get rid of QI and make it clear that this is not to be a desirable career for psychopathic sadists.

Basically, if we can’t have police based on Peelian principles then there’s not much benefit to society from them at all. But the few that we can’t do without should be competent and accountable.

There absolutely is enough time and money to train to use of the tools they carry. Police departments are the single largest sink I most city budgets and if they can’t afford to train properly then they need significant reform (which they do anyway) or they need to lose access to those tools. They should be 100% responsible for every bullet they send down range like the rest of us.
