Ok, side topic… but that little bastard cheerfully told me out of no where that I have a mall of without a null check AND a free inside a conditional that might not get called.
It didn’t give me a line number or file. I had to go investigate. Finally found what it was talking about.
It was wrong. It took me about 20 minutes start to finish.
Weird, and why didn’t those people show up to vote for Kamala? How did Biden get more votes than Obama, but Trump won the popular vote four years later?
> why didn’t those people show up to vote for Kamala?
Enthusiasm gap. And not during COVID. 2020 was an interesting time as you may recall.
> How did Biden get more votes than Obama, but Trump won the popular vote four years later?
You will be less likely to fall prey to grifters if you look past absolute numbers and realize that the voting age population tends to increase about 10 million every four years. And with turnout generally abysmal, under 60% most times, there is a lot of room for variation.
Do you feel that way about the second amendment too? Just curious if we’re picking and choosing what visitors can legally do. What if SCOTUS said that people means citizens and not visitors for guns, don’t you think that would apply to visa, immigrants, or visitors as well?
I think in the second amendment "the people" are quite clearly the citizens so they can secure their own "free" state. Where the first amendment is about limiting what the government can do so they can't make laws against free speech.
it doesn't. Read the first amendment carefully. People is only used in one specific part, the bulk is about limiting what the lawmakers can do. free speech has no reference to "people"
I'd say the difference with the deportations under Obama (aside from deporting more people while spending less money doing it) is that he followed the law when doing so
As a person who spent a couple of hours watching our local ICE facility today, I'd say the differences are purely aesthetic.
I've gotten to where I don't really care -what- the law is and believe that from an ethical standpoint if a person can have a house and a job and not cause trouble I don't care if they are from Honduras or Houston- any position other than that is just racism with extra steps.
And I am aware that probably sounds crazy to most folks here but at this point I don't care. The folks I organize with have been working since before Trump and will likely be working still when the Democrats put whatever stuff suit their leadership selects.
I would have a hard time arguing that after seeing Alex Pretti's public execution. I also think we can at least partially agree on who should be targeted (emphasis my own):
> Carefully calibrated revisions to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration enforcement priorities and practices [...] *[made] noncitizens with criminal records the top enforcement target* [0]
I consider there to be a gulf of difference between the murder of American citizens in-between detaining anyone caught speaking the wrong language, and Obama's DHS and immigration policy.
> any position other than that is just racism with extra steps
Here I'll politely disagree to agree; in the same way Uber and Lyft flooded the driver market and collapsed the price of a medallion, so to does open borders flood the market with workers, collapsing the worth of my labour.
You haven't been paying attention. And that's ok. Obama was destroying families, and killing peoples, he just did it out of sight with a charming smile.
You think people deported by him didn't die as a result? You think his massive expansion of drone violence didn't kill people living lives as rich and complex as Pretti's? You don't remember Obama deciding not to prosecute people for Abu Ghraib?
1. This has always been possible but the bar has been lowered to barely above typing “her, but nude!”. Opposed to a talented photoshop or pencil artist doing this previously. Is the issue scale?
2. Lots of things have been illegal and immoral without tools. Assault for example. We don’t really have to deal with those things on a large basis. The difference here is effectively thought crime until distribution takes place and then it’s just another form of assault right? We already have laws on bullying and assault, no?
Like I said… skipping ahead, let me guess, For The Children; we must block local models, AI except for The NYSE Chosen Ones, encryption, and must have digital ID to use everything. Tell me this article is in favor of anything else.
As soon as you figure out that everything you read at large outlets, esp those owned by Condé Nast is directly written to affect a stock price somewhere it becomes a little exhausting.
> Tell me this article is in favor of anything else.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the comment section is meant for others to educate you about what the article says, you're supposed to read the article yourself first, then comment.
Everything you've said might be true, but are you actually adding insights to the conversation here, when you admit to not even knowing what the article is trying to say in the first place?
The article has a beyond obvious take even from the headline that “ITS SO BAD, We Must Do Something (tm)”. I read the article first, show where my take is incorrect.
Most of us know what this is, and it’s choke full of the usually moral pleas wrapped up in a nice package of “don’t mind the side effects”.
> Like I said… skipping ahead, let me guess, For The Children; we must block local models, AI except for The NYSE Chosen Ones, encryption, and must have digital ID to use everything. Tell me this article is in favor of anything else.
Please quote the parts of the article where they mention banning/blocking local models, saying that any AI except "The Chosen One" is OK, anything about encryption or even anything about Digital IDs?

No, delisting online nudify apps will take care of 99% of this. There's no reason for them to exist.
While that might be the case for now, as the offender would need access to a PC with a NVIDIA GPU, that will not hold for long.
Once you can run decent image generation models on your phone, what shall we do? Prohibit apps that allow you to run custom models? Add a mandatory safety check?
It seems like a pointless exercise to me - better punish the actual crime rather than try to regulate the tech.
Prohibiting apps from shipping with models that can nudify people seems reasonable. Custom models that can do it will be banned from search results and major sites. Just like child porn, they'll exist online but be quite difficult to find.
There is significant societal value in preventing crimes rather than just punishing them.
The prevention here would require to take down existing models that are already widely distributed and mostly used lawfully.
And even if you outlawed the distribution of uncensored models, we face the next question when you can do the fine tuning directly on the phone and someone makes an accessible app.
Do we then prohibit apps that allow you to fine-tune a model, do we mandate safety scans of the images in the dataset?
Not many existing models will do it or do it well.
> when you can do the fine tuning directly on the phone
Well you'd need millions of on/off nude samples to start with, so I don't think that's likely. And that's assuming we get a billionfold increase in mobile CPU performance or a billionfold decrease in fine tuning compute requirements.
You're reaching for things that, if they happen, are a decade or more out. It's ok to solve today's problems today. Perfect is the enemy of good.
LoRA training for recent Flux 2 Klein or Z Image Turbo models can be done on a consumer GPU in a few hours, often using datasets with fewer than a hundred images.
How much quality that gets you I don't know - perhaps the versions people publish are trained with larger datasets.
I know that one popular anime finetune of SDXL cost $180k in compute on 8xH100 for two months.
I get to carry and make sure that I’m not a useless decoration if I or my family is ever in trouble because of someone that shouldn’t be in general population.
Need :) Ya, I see how you sell it to yourself as a negative.
I prefer a working police force, fewer rEsPoNsIbLe gUn oWnErs, and not to increase my, or my family’s, chances of dying by firearm, but I guess we all need to feel we are worth it, in one way or another - damned be the costs.
One of Michael Bloomberg’s groups. He has four groups or so and is the single biggest funder of anti-gun propaganda, policy, and advocacy in the world.
He does not give 1/2 a shit about the issues that would effect 3D printing industry. I love it because he was trying this before 3D printing and the genie is just so far out of the bottle that it must infuriate him that he didn’t see it earlierZ
I stated that I wouldn't advocate for a national prohibition on guns mostly because I think it wouldn't work and I support gun rights. But if you were to try banning guns, it'd have to be a huge national effort and not just a few states.
Without getting too pedantic for no reason… I think it’s important to not call this an LLM.
This isn’t an LLM. It’s a product powered by an LLM. You don’t get access to the model you get access to the product.
An LLM can’t do a web search, an LLM can’t convert Excel files into something and then into PDF. Products do that.
I think it’s a mistake to say I don’t trust this engine to get me here, rather than it is to say I don’t trust this car. Because for the most part, the engine, despite giving you a different performance all the time is roughly doing the same thing over and over.
The product is the curious entity you have no control over.

Turned it off and will not be turning it back on.
