  • IIRC based on the source paper the "verbatim" text is common stuff like legal boilerplate, shared code snippets, book jacket blurbs, alphabetical lists of countries, and other text repeated countless times across the web. It's the text equivalent of DALL-E "memorizing" a meme template or a stock image -- it doesn't mean all or even most of the training data is stored within the model, just that certain pieces of highly duplicated data have ascended to the level of concept and can be reproduced under unusual circumstances.

  • There's always going to be an activity difference given the userbase gap, but it's a mistake imho to see a slow-paced community as "dead". As long as it has active subscribers, any post will get votes and comments from people who see it, even if it's been weeks or months since the last post in that community. Slower-paced, but still there for whatever content gets posted.

  • The irony is that the situation is pretty much the opposite of this -- the US vetoed a symbolic, non-binding resolution for essentially messaging reasons (it didn't explicitly acknowledge Israel's right to self-defence), but when it comes to concrete action it's providing millions in humanitarian relief, and Biden is pressuring Netanyahu privately and publicly to pull back from a full invasion and allow a relief corridor.

  • I'll just switch to a Indian ip-address and buy a cheap premium

    I've thought about doing this, but worry about it fucking up my recommendations, which I'm actually pretty happy with. Do you know if that's an issue?

  • Tbh, I block ads when I can but have a hard time getting angry about this. YouTube is both incredibly useful and incredibly expensive to operate -- seriously, what other service lets you upload hours of HD video which anyone in the world can access instantly, indefinitely, for free, and at the same scale YT does? It's a peerless engineering marvel and it would be a tragedy if it were to shut down. If seeing some short skippable ads is what it takes to keep that resource viable, that's honestly pretty fair.

  • I fear this is going to be a turning point for the party to turn fully against Ukraine. McConnell apparently argued forcefully in favor of keeping the funding intact, but got overruled by most of the caucus, including Thune (one of the top candidates to replace him). And this is the Senate Republicans we're talking about, the House caucus is even more openly antagonistic.

    Keeping Democratic control of the White House and Congress next year could be key to Ukraine defeating Russia.

  • Convenient (for them) that they start this only after destroying all the coins people earned over years of using the site. I had over 80k coins and 18 years of premium from various awarded posts (all OC) that they just threw away for nothing.

    If they respected my contributions, I might be excited about this, but now I plan on contributing absolutely nothing of value ever again.
