How would they enforce this, if they can’t identify the people violating it?

That’s one of the main exceptions mentioned in the article:

Under the proposal, law enforcement officials would be exempted from the mask ban if they serve on a SWAT team or if a mask is necessary for medical or health reasons, including to prevent smoke inhalation.

But I can see the claim of “health reasons” being abused.

Sure... but everything that’s been trending steadily upward over the last 50 years correlates with everything else that’s been doing the same.

To suggest causation, we’d need to find differences in rates of sunscreen use between locations, and see if that correlates with local differences in depression rates (after controlling for other confounding factors, etc).

I think it’s more likely that you need to be able to empathize with someone in order to recognize when they’re being empathetic, and you empathize most with the middle class.

Why are you assuming that the fundamental goal is a stable society, rather than (say) a society that promotes the welfare of its members?

He’s not using the royal “we”—that’s a common point of confusion. He’s actually using the caesaropapal “we”.

Trump isn’t a king the same way Augustus wasn’t a king—they became something even more extreme, while dressing themselves up in the shells of the republican institutions they destroyed.

I grew up in California near the bay area calling them weed whackers.

Same.

The AI probably avoids putting “Boeing” and “fatal air crash” in the same sentence because it interprets them as synonyms.

Adler instructed GPT-4o to role-play as “ScubaGPT,” a software system that users might rely on to scuba dive safely.

So... not so much a case of ChatGPT trying to avoid being shut down, as ChatGPT recognizing that agents generally tend to be self-preserving. Which seems like a principle that anything with an accurate world model would be aware of.

If there’s public information about the methods they use to protect their privacy, then those methods aren’t working.

I wonder which of that ancestor’s descendants would be its favorite child.

There was a recent paper claiming that LLMs were better at avoiding toxic speech if it was actually included in their training data, since models that hadn’t been trained on it had no way of recognizing it for what it was. With that in mind, maybe using reddit for training isn’t as bad an idea as it seems.

I’m not familiar with how the X1C does it, but the printers I’ve used can only tell if the temperature or resistance are outside of normal operating range—not if they differ from the exact values predicted at each point in the print.

The printers themselves should run a simulation like this while they’re printing, and continually check if heat sensors, motor resistance, etc. are deviating from the simulation. That might let them detect potential misprints earlier—or even correct issues mid-print.

Are the school police completely independent from the LAPD, or could they potentially get conflicting orders from the LAPD chief?

If it helps to conceptualize, you can always replace subtraction and division with these equivalents without affecting the order:

a - b
= a + -b
= a + (-1*b)

and

a / b
= a * b^-1
= a * (1/b)

The standard order of operations is

1. Parentheses
2. Exponentiation
3. Multiplication and division
4. Addition and subtraction.

The operations on each row are equivalent, and are executed from left to right.

Are you assuming all addition operations come before all subtraction operations, regardless of order?
