This is a really neat idea to explore any relational DB. Some of the clever ways these LLMs are being used as a chat interface to information systems are really cool!

Sure. Run my own DDOS protection? I'll pass.

Just so I understand here; he's still on the hook for taking the bribe and running the license plate, he's just been cleared of unauthorized access because he was granted access to the system. Right? Seems to me the prosecutor messed up when charging him under CFAA, which as we can see here is a complex and nuanced section of law, instead of something straightforward, if less sexy like public corruption/bribery.

Um no. This absolutely precludes purchasing this shit.

I frequently read research I do not have institutional access to. I'm in this situation fairly frequently, tbh.

Seems 5% attrition is a very small price to pay to weed out the bad apples.

Looking at this through another prism, fully 95% of the company decided that being apolitical at work is reasonable.

What happened to the rule against politics and religion in polite society?

I think a lot of this is due to people in the neighborhoods not wanting the neighborhoods to change. It's this way in the USA precisely because of citizen control. Single family home neighborhoods are some of the nicest places to live in America. Why shouldn't the people who have invested in the community get to decide how the neighborhood evolves?

The NYT is a business supported by employing authors to write articles and sell advertisements to people who want to read those articles. To claim that NYT as a business has nothing at all to do with it's product, that it payed to create, curate and publish is clearly nonsense.

I will never purchase another game from Activision or Blizzard unless they recant this backwards position. American art and media should not be subject to Chinese influence.

I've been a loyal customer over the years, but I have a long memory. Refuse to delete my account if you will, it will never be used again.

While I cant do anything about the money I've already spent, I've just uninstalled all Blizzard games from my PC.

Blizzard: As a result of this action, you have lost my business. I've been a loyal customer, but this behavior is unacceptable.

This! ^^^ The author paints an overbroad cartoon picture of a complex philosophy in order to fabricate a tale of 'toxic masculinity'.

Self control is not the act of not displaying or feeling one's emotions or drives. Rather it's the act of moderating one's behavior in response to those drives and emotions.

Sure that's you. One anecdotal example. As a data driven counter example, take the number of card on the road in Los Angeles at a given time. I live in LA, and there is a zero percent chance I expose my child to typhus on the train.

You are a very distinct minority.
