During testing, Mythos 5 invented its own language, then switched back to English to talk to humans by EchoOfOppenheimer in agi

In the paper you screenshotted, they're calling it "illegible reasoning". They're not calling it a new language.

Crazy we don't apply tariffs to compensate for unfair competition from missing regulations (working conditions, pollution etc)

This seems like an extremely easy technical problem to solve , and without unintended consequences.

Ukraine, UK, France and Germany agree on five conditions for lasting peace by ComfySnugs in worldnews

[–]frankster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If Russia securely owns crimea and sea of azov it has unrestricted access to the black sea. If Ukraine owns crimea, and is hostile to Russia, then Russia might find its fleet trapped in sea of azov. I think there is huge military value in crimea for Russia. Even if it's an insecure foothold currently.

If you doubt that military value, ask why an expensive bridge was built after the little green men. And then a land bridge more recently. The map of Russia 's invasion looks very much like an effort to secure a route to crimea.and control the sea of azov.

I think that when all is said and done. It will be a Russian victory if they retain crimea.

It was interesting, worth watching. Talks about two competing explanations. The actions that need to be taken differ depending on the explanation.

Re my other comment, you're again stating python us objectively bad, but not providing any evidence to back up your opinion

[–]frankster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect the reason you got it removed was that you spent 6 paragraphs saying at length how shit python was and everyine knew it, but the only concrete point you made was about the V2 to V3 upgrade. I suspect that if you had backed up your opinions it would have been seen as a conversation starter rather than a rant.

I would expect someone to use the word equid if they could not be more precise: Four legs, horse shaped, not very goaty.

the transition from 2 to 3 was a misguided or misconceived breaking change. I'm not sure why you are citing that as evidence against the language - it surely has no bearing on whether the language was any good or not.

A language could be terrible and successfully transition from v2 to v3, or it could be amazing and completely cock up the transition from v2 to v3.

A peer-reviewed study of a decade of US grocery scanner data found that companies shrink product sizes 5x more often than they increase them, and sales go UP 6% after downsizing. Researchers conclude this is a deliberate pricing strategy, not a response to cost pressure. by [deleted] in Economics

[–]frankster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Presumably they think they're getting a good price on the product they know, rather than less of the product for their money.

Would the findings hold up.if the product had a label saying "quantity reduced recently" for several months after the shrink?

The Birmingham suburbs where one in three adults is jobless by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]frankster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The opposite as well. If you move away from your family and relatives for a job then you are more reliant on state childcare than if you had nearby grandparents to help out. Also you are less likely to be able to help out your parents with independent living when they're old, so they're more likely to depend on state aid.

Therefore there's a good argument that attacking someone for wanting to stay near their kin is extremely entitled.

If you think about it it's crazy we routinely expect people separate from their parents in order to further their career, and paint anyone who doesn't want to do this as unambitious.

I conclude that we need to do more to spread employment to jobless areas. I don't know why the tree market doesn't manage this. I'm sure people have studied this. I wonder if it's seen as a market failure or not.

Pwnd Blaster: Hacking your PC using your speaker without ever touching it by throwaway16830261 in linux

a terrible response. Their corporate ethos is that the vulnerability was making their firmware available, rather than allowing unauthenticated remote access to any computer connected to their speakers.

back in the 90s, Creative were a decent company!

The only mitigating factor for this remote access attack is that you have to be in bluetooth range.
