I’m definitely not for banning books, but couldn’t you say the same thing about news media? Or Facebook memes? Those “get you to think”.

Depends who you are. If you’re a person of interest to the Russians for any reason, I wouldn’t trust it.

People should have “the right to not be pregnant.”

Same. I’ve found I’m most productive from like 3-7 pm, which sucks. I’d like to be productive in the morning or in the early afternoon instead of mostly past regular work hours.

Hahaha, as someone that works in AI research, good luck to them. The first is a very hard problem that won’t just be prompt engineering with your OpenAI account (why not just use 3D blueprints for weapons that already exist?) and the second is certifiably stupid. There are plenty of ways to make bombs already that don’t involve training a model that’s an expert in chemistry. A bunch of amateur 8chan half-brains probably couldn’t follow a Medium article, let alone do ground breaking research.

But like you said, if they want to test the viability of those bombs, I say go for it! Make it in the garage!

I know cardboard and especially aluminum is much easier to recycle, so doesn’t just have to be plastic.

😤😮‍💨 Everytime I try to sell something on OfferUp

Is this not deployed already? If it isn’t, what the heck are we doing?

I agree with him. You have to take measures to protect the populace, like with traffic laws. If people can’t abide by those rules and the science is sound (which it is in this case and in the case of traffic laws), then measures have to be taken to protect the community from those that refuse to abide by the verifiably safer option without due cause.

What those measures are can be deliberated amongst the community. Could be fines, could be jail time. I don’t know what would compel someone to get a vaccine, but that could be determined over time.

He’s my hero! I hope he’s still getting something out of life as he’s in Brazil with his wife. A true heartache knowing that his time here is coming to an end, because for as long as he could, he was still commenting on international affairs. A warrior for the truth, and I’m going to miss his commentary.

This looks great! I imagine the documents you upload are used for RAG?

If so, do you also show citations in the chat answers for what context the model used to answer the user’s query?

I ask because Verba by weaviate does that, but I like yours more and I’d like to switch to it (I’ve had a hard time getting Verba to work in the past).

Conservatives are just projectors. Everything they are guilty of they blame on political opponents or demonize: pedophilia, gay sexual relationships, corruption, and not caring about the average worker. That’s not to say Democrats don’t sometimes fall into these categories, but it’s definitely to a lesser extent.

Tough shit Zuck

I responded to your other comment, but I like this question too. I haven’t been addicted to a substance, but I can firmly say for other things that the answer is “No”. I’m not blacked out, I’m completely present when I’m making this choice, but sometimes there’s a constant justification of “ok I’ll do it this last time and tomorrow is when I’ll resist it.” And you keep doing that. And that voice gets weaker over time to where you just start accepting that this is what you do now. And that often comes with self-loathing and frustration.

Well, that’s the difference. At different points in my life I’ve had varying levels of self-control. You have a higher bar than I do right now for what requires a self-control check.

My username is what it is for a reason. I don’t think being on a site like this improves my health or mentality in any way, yet here I am. I still go on Reddit on a desktop when I’m working almost out of habit, even though I’m kicking myself mentally the whole time I’m scrolling. I wake up, say “30 more minutes” to myself knowing full well that will make me start work later, less prepared, hungry, and unshowered and I’ll have to work later into the night (when I work from home). I watch YouTube until 1 am or later most nights because I don’t want to sleep even though I’m tired and I know it will make my day miserable tomorrow. Dishes are piling up because I say I’ll get to it later.

People have different thresholds for this and at other times in my life I could just shut off many of these urges. Right now, because of my mental health, that ability for self control is near zero. Just think of that push-back you get when you say to yourself you’re going to go for a run and imagine that push-back to be stronger and applied to literally anything that requires effort or mental presence.
