If we are running someone that old, can we please run Dumbledore?

Going dark with it: How much are organs worth on the black market?
Keeping it light: like 4 or 5 maybe, as long as there is no degradation in capabilities I think I could feasibly let 1 do my job, then the rest and myself could pursue other intellectual endeavors. I would also always have a full D&D group and be able to play the multiplayer games I have always wanted to that never had the interest of my friends.
Yeah, I initially was ok with it, but as I have watched these companies I have become less and less ok. I have been contemplating making dummy accounts full of erroneous data so all of the metrics are wrong as a giant middle finger. Sure, I'm a 72-year-old woman in Des Moines, or am I an 80-year-old man in DC? Maybe a 22-year-old in LA? Who knows.
Hmmm... Show me a pregnant 1 year old and I will show you a little girl in desperate need of an abortion and a new home with people who actually will love her as one should a 1 year old.
Seriously, how fucking stupid do you need to be to actually utter something like this. I don't care if it is supposed rhetorical hyperbole, it just oozes with /r/NotHowGirlsWork energy.
Ummm, I was comparing them as similar, not different. They are all facing identical housing issues and are faced with similar social programs and safety nets.
Very true, but let's see that happen in the US, Australia, or New Zealand. Or any of the other dystopian nightmares that capitalists have manipulated into their own private wonderlands.
I will take a look at Polaris. I started out in C and C++ years ago, so I all no stranger to strong typing. The Python devs have realized that there needs to be ways to add strong typing, so you can now explicitly type inputs and outputs to functions, which helps a lot. Also, there are places where other companies have implemented things in Python, so you are somewhat pigeonholed into using Python or reverting back to the C++ SDK for them, which can be a nightmare in its own right. Lucky for me I am the only one really touching the code I am working on and it is all bespoke, but someone will need to maintain it later so I have been taking to the strong typing in my recent work.
I will have to take a look at Rust some more and see how it feels. Thanks for the analysis.
How do you feel Rust compares to Python? I do a lot of Data Science coding but have thus far primarily used Python and Pandas to accomplish most of what I need to do. I've gotten it working pretty smoothly, but I am seeing Rust on a lot of job postings so I have been thinking of trying it out.
Afaik those countries also have rather extensive tenant rights laws, rent control/caps, and a robust entrepreneur support system, like universal health care and generous PTO laws so people can take time to pursue things while minimizing the risks.
If you own it, don't install a damn thing your employer demands. If they want security access on a device, they pay for it.
If you don't own it, don't use it for a damn thing that isn't work-related and use it minimally for that. "Yes sir" emails and submitting reports. That's it. Don't do research, don't surf the web, don't accept a single personal call, email, or text. They don't have any right to know anything that is not work related.
I have a strong opinion that the problem is more one of people attempting to solve every problem with their shiny new hammer. AI, in the current incarnations, is very good at many things. When implemented properly, LLMs are great at filtering huge amounts of text data or performing semantic analysis. SD does produce images and can be directed.
LLMs are not a replacement for thought. SD is not a replacement for an artist. They are all tools for helping people do things.
I am designing a hypothetical LLM architecture for analyzing the relational structure of a story and mapping it out. I am hoping that it will be capable of generating a meaningful relationship network at the end. It is a very specific goal and a very specific structure. It won't write a story; it won't produce dialog; it won't build a plot. What it will do is build a network of places and characters that can be used to make decisions for all of those things. I want something that helps with internal consistency of models doing other things. So if a GPT model were to write something, it could be fact-checked against the world network to see if what it is saying is reasonable.
Really? I haven't done the ChatGPT thing, but I know I have spent days searching for solutions to some of the more esoteric problems I run into. I can't imagine that asking an AI then debugging the return would be any more intensive as long as the AI solution functioned enough to be a starting point.
