We are free to fork if need arises.

…and how do you ensure your fork does not contain a single commit involving even a single line written by Claude? If you can’t, then isn’t your fork slop by default?

And most of Claude was made on stolen code.

Sure, it learned to code by reading lots of code, most of it just publicly available online for anyone to read and for anyone to learn from but not explicitly licensed for a machine to read it and learn from it. I doubt it’s possible to teach an ML system (or for that matter a human being) how to code without reading lots of example code. And any code you’ve ever read has an impact on any code you write afterward (same as any other creative endeavor), that’s why clean room design as a defense against copyright infringement is a thing that exists.

I was talking about being compatible, not performant. Proton is very often more performant, but WoW64 is seamless and extremely compatible. If we were to pick say 2000 windows 32-bit apps, selected at random released over the last, say, 25 years do you think WoW64 or the combination of Proton/WINE will correctly execute the largest number of them without requiring tinkering? How many if we limit the tinkering to something really basic, like picking the windows version it was made for off a list?

That’s what I’m getting at that I’ve been downvoted for - this “hybrid” console will almost certainly have better compatibility than Proton/WINE for regular windows software (let alone XBox software) and that’s going to be it’s draw. For stuff that’s also compatible with Proton you’ll likely get better performance out of Proton, but effective and seamless compatibility layers are a strength of MS - most regular users don’t even realize that when you run a 32-bit windows app in x64 windows that there’s a compatibility layer involved at all.

…and likely has better compatibility with more Windows games, which are most games.

Microsoft has the existing expertise and access to source to build a very effective and basically seamless compatibility layer, akin to how 32-bit apps run on x64 windows using WoW64 (Windows on Windows 64). I guess the real question is if it will be running real windows with an Xbox compatibility layer or a version of the Xbox modified windows with a regular windows compatibility layer.

Nothing in the law requires some kind of online server. Only a local API, which a local library that can be linked is. And it only requires age to bebe described in four brackets, hence just storing a value 0-3. Didn’t see anything obvious as to why this wouldn’t actually meet the requirements, while being as dumb and pointless as possible.

Am I missing something or would the following not meet the requirements?

Add a module that does the following:

On first account login to an interactive interface, ask for an age category (<=13, 15-15,16-17,18+). So a value between 0 and 3. Store that somewhere alongside user-level application settings. Include a library for applications to link against. Library contains one function, that function just returns whatever value was stored before.

I think that meets their bare minimum while also demonstrating just how dumb this is.

Really? I would have figured the Rapture route would be workable with the right engineering. Especially given the massive amounts of borderline free cooling and non-existing regulatory environment if outside territorial waters.

Adding one more person adds more than one comparison. Assuming birthdays are evenly distributed (they aren’t), 2 people have a 1/365.25 chance of sharing a birthday. But adding a third person adds 2 more chances. Adding that 23rd person adds 22 more chances than adding the 22nd person. 1+2+3…+22=253 separate checks, of which only one needs to match.

People at the heads of nonprofits are often highly compensated, and it’s rare that any of them solve the underlying problem or even make meaningful headway. It’s why there is so much “awareness” and short term band aids involved. A nonprofit that solves the problem it’s supposedly trying to solve has no reason to exist and will cost people well paying jobs managing it.

in Canada, basically if it’s not winter (hard to drive because of conditions and almost complete lack of visibility of the road and signs), it’s road construction time…

You’ll note that Waymo is really only launched in places that tend to have mostly pleasant weather most of the time, because the tech is relatively new (but probably already much better than human drivers most of the time - humans are broadly awful at driving so that doesn’t take much) and they don’t want to try it against the much more difficult conditions in many places yet.

I would hope it would collapse under 24A if nothing else, but I don’t trust our current SCOTUS that far. Best to be prepared for it than to hope it fails.

Nah. This isn’t that. It’s bullshit, it’s unnecessarily cruel, but “get a new ID with the M or F switched to the one you don’t identify with” isn’t all that relevant to SAVE when either way that ID alone wouldn’t qualify as documentary proof of United States citizenship per SAVE. If you’re already taking time out to go to the DMV though, you may as well get what you were already going to need to meet SAVE while you’re out and dealing with government bureaucrats. See this as an excuse to get the other sorted too.

Seriously though, everyone needs to read SAVE and ensure you have what you need. Do it now, don’t wait until the election. Don’t even wait until SAVE passes. Be prepared for what they want to pull before they succeed at pulling it, because after they’re only going to make it harder.

You’ll have to get a passport or move to one of the 5 states with an enhanced driver’s license that meets the requirements under section 2(b)(1).

I mean yeah, it’s almost certainly unconstitutional under 24A. But theat requires a SCOTUs who cares about the law and the constitution instead of putting Heritage first, Trump second and all that other stuff a distant third.

Again, read SAVE instead of making assumptions based on practices of other agencies that are tangentially related.

SAVE calls for “documentary proof of United States citizenship”, which it defines in the act itself. A RealID that also verifies citizenship counts (normal RealID doesn’t, and only 5 states that offer an “enhanced driver’s license” do), so does a passport, a military ID combined with a record of service indicating you were born in the US, a federal, state, or tribal photo ID showing your place of birth was in the US or a federal, state or tribal photo ID combined with a birth or naturalization record.

Most people will fall in that last category. And most valid birth records explicitly require the record be of the same name. The big question I’m not sure of is if in all the small changes amended to the law by SAVE if documentary proof of United States Citizenship is required to vote or merely to register.

No reason to use the I9 instead of the actual bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text

That’s the version that passed the house. And the relevant bit is near the top, section 2(b).

What does the IRS have to do with anything? Read the actual bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text

Section 2(b) is the relevant bit regarding what counts as documentary proof of US citizenship.

Does SAVE require documentary proof of citizenship to vote, or just to register? As I understand it, documentary proof of citizenship is the specific requirement that’s hard for anyone who has had a change of name to meet short of a passport or an EDL in the 5 states that offer one.

There are models with open weights, and you can run those locally on your GPU. It can be a bit slower depending on model and GPU. For example, GLM has an open version, both full and pruned, but it’s not the newest version. A bunch of image generation models have local versions too.

The whole premise of deep think and similar in other models is to come up with an answer, then ask itself if the answer is right and how it could be wrong until the result is stable.

The seahorse emoji question is one that trips up a lot of models (it’s a Mandela effect thing where it doesn’t exist but lots of people remember it and as a consequence are firm that it’s real), I asked GLM 4.7 about it with deep think on and it wrote about two dozen paragraphs trying to think of everywhere a seahorse emoji could be hiding, if it was in a previous or upcoming standard, if maybe there was another emoji that might be mistaken for a seahorse, etc, etc. It eventually decided that it didn’t exist, double checked that it wasn’t missing anything, and gave an answer.

It was startlingly like stream of consciousness of someone experiencing the Mandela effect trying desperately to find evidence they were right, except it eventually gave up and realized the truth.

EDIT: Spelling. Really need to proofread when I do this kind of thing on my phone.
