It’s hardly their fault for thinking it was related to the AI LLM or multimodal models when in all actuality the article states that these “large physics models” may be any sort of configuration, including LLM transformers:

the models may use the transformer architecture that underlies LLMs, a generalized version of convolutional neural networks known as geometric deep learning, or an architecture that can solve partial differential equations called neural operators.

It seemed you really needed to take your frustrations out on someone else’s comment.

It said a preview was available for thousands of dollars but the full database is selling for hundreds of thousands. That seems more realistic for risk & storage/hosting costs.

They could be. Transitioning doesnt stop them from choosing to identify with a non-binary gender.

Are you thinking of intersex? Even in that scenario, I don’t believe that statement applies.

I would love to see the exploit. There are vulnerabilities discovered everyday that amount to very little in terms of use in real world implementations.

I actually have one I’m not using at the moment. The switches at within the back cover but that’s easily able to be reached within 5 seconds or so with no tools. It’s not exactly something you would be flipping on and off regularly though unless you had a very specific use case.

Anything that isn’t a hardware switch potentially leads itself to being bypassed, so the switches are your best bet for being sure it’s disabled.

Edit: there’s also this (I linked the case which shows the switches) phone which has switches on the outside for this purpose. I don’t know anyone who has used this one however.

Just one more crack in the levee against computer privacy. This is always how it starts.

No one asked anyone to make that change but it was done regardless. The laws created in those states were (from my understanding) implemented defensively in a political sense due to how federal laws were being considered but weren’t actively requested to be enforced technologically.

Those that don’t see this change as a step in a regressive trend but are in a position to make changes are usually the ones that lead us further down the path, intentionally or not.

New technology is released into medical field and executive board thinks “how can we harm people with this?”

It depends on the findings. Sometimes LD1 and LD99 are used if relevant. Look here for more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose

That’s not unheard of since LD50 literally stands for Lethal Dose for 50% [of a group]. There will always be those that can survive the LD50 as well as those that succumb to doses under it.

I’m sure there’s numerous potential reasons for it. Some may be relying on the consistency of their sleep schedule more than others, have responsibilities that reduce how much they can reasonably fit in their schedule, may not care about the quantity or quality of sleep they get, have a pre-existing sleep debt, have health issues that compound with sleep changes, alternative sleep schedules, genetic predispositions, or literally anything else related to how sleep, physical health, mental health, and bodily systems function.

If you think of how one thing being shifted can set other things way more off balance then it makes sense. I’m not an expert in any of this but it’s definitely a complicated topic at the very least.

I understand why you might think that’s best as a cultural more but I ultimately disagree with that stance since it is likely to lead to alienation and less understanding as a whole. Being open to outside perspectives and even constructive criticism from both parties is the best way finding mutual understanding.

This is actually supported by GrapheneOS currently, if you need that extra push. 😉

Not to mention that the flames while combusing are invisible by sight. It’s also really difficult to keep contained and if it leaks it has ~11x the impact of CO2 per this article.

I used to like the idea of hydrogen as an energy medium but all of its attributes combined just make it really infeasible to use except for immediate applications.

You say this like the 100 prior absurd things that have happened shouldn’t have occurred because we have a stable, sane system with checks and balances; but we don’t. So people that are complicit, or scared, or both are complying with demands that are not technically enforceable. I could see this as one of those orders that red states would gladly comply with.

Pharmacology is probably a bad example because of the amount of legal fighting done within the pharmaceutical industry to keep people using (sometimes addicted to) their product as long as possible and to downplay any side-effects. Of course limiting resources to anyone that could oppose their sales is going to be common. So I wouldn’t say my point (which is that it is unethical to publish with no regard towards stochastic social harm on controversial topics) is the reason it’s difficult to obtain research for that industry specifically but the nature of that industry itself to keep information proprietary.

I think your first point contradicts your second.

I’m sure most people would consider it to be unethical if a study is published while knowing it is not truthful.

I understand that doing research can take a long time and costs money but publishing findings that partially confirm a pre-existing stigma of a vulnerable group of people, witnessing bigots leverage said research to voice oppression against said group, and wanting to do it all again is definitely in the realm of being unethical.

The pursuit of nuanced truth is a luxury that is being warped and tarnished by psychotic bigotry. Performing research for the sake of truth that might get real people harmed or killed is by definition unethical.

Community building. That’s the best thing we can do right now. Building social structures to help take care of everyone when the crumbling system will inevitably fail us. This can include making sure that vulnerable people are safe when ICE are sighted in the local area.

I honestly don’t understand what point you’re trying make.
