It’s worth noting that in neuro speak, inhibition does not necessarily correlate with what would appear to be a “dis/inhibited” person; it’s referring to a specific process where signals are blocked from propagating, and because the brain is made of a complex web of inter-modulatory loops, this can show up in unintuitive ways

e.g. signals from the default mode network getting in the way of task-oriented behavior, which can result in people appearing “inhibited” where in actuality they’re failing to inhibit irrelevant internal signals and (errant bottom-up) attention to them (this is the case in ADHD).

> As others mentioned, It's a very similar situation for rural American

That’s a seperate anecdote about his dad in America.

If you’re going to nitpick irrelevant inconsistencies, at least be right.

Yeah fair, I did when I was halfway through and decided to get my piece out anyway. These laws are stupid at best

The “install software that phones home to [government db] to check if the tube shape you want to print on the tool you bought and own is different enough from another tube that’s been used in a gun” laws?

Laws that don’t meaningfully impact alleged 3d printing of guns because you can’t 3d print the metal parts of a gun that are needed to actually do gun things, on the vast majority of devices these laws would restrict.

There is a whole lot more to chip and GPU design than the silicon manufacturing itself

For a URI ban would that have to be through ISPs? If so, then alternative DNS would be an easy work around.

The government can not be mad, it’s an organization. People in the government are “allowed” to feel however they’d like; their actions are restricted. And the point being made above is that the government might’ve believed their marketing and acted accordingly.

So still Europe’s.

There is less debris around on the way to mars and this is a known and worsening for the ISS due to its age.

The ram that’s important for LLMs is gpu-accessible memory, meaning either systems with unified ram or VRAM, the latter of which is tied to the caliber of GPU one has.

It’s not a threat.

Yes, I nor many other people are arguing that “BOMB” couldn’t be interpreted as a threat. “F the captain” does not carry reasonable fear of harm. It carries reasonable suspicion that the individual is erratic, that is all. Unless one is an HR representative, there’s no reasonable implication of harm in the statement “F the captain”.

Asking people to turn their Bluetooth off can be reasonable in certain scenarios, like that of the “BOMB” incident. Saying “F <whatever>” is not a threat.

Threatening is not the same as an actual threat. If someone stood up on a plane and yelled “bomb”, the default implication is that there is a bomb present.

If someone gets up and yells “F the captain”, it is reasonable to be fearful that they might act on that sentiment, but the statement itself is not a threat; not an expression of intention (or in the former case, presence of an object that is intended) to inflict evil, injury, or damage.

> That not turning that Bluetooth device off when told to was going to end up delaying the flight.

This thread is discussing the “Free Palestine, F Zionists” WiFi hotspot and the threat to turn it off within 30 seconds or face the FBI. Which is explicitly not a threat, whereas “BOMB” in the context of a plane is more obviously a potential threat.

I’ve found nutricost to be good (they do well in Suppco’s analyses apparently), and they have a great variety of supplements, but very few “blend” type products - I.e. they’re a good place to get what you want for a good deal and nothing more.

Yes I can definitely “feel” it when I take it, especially so at 10g+. And it makes me overly reactive and somewhat irritable, and gives me a ton of energy that needs to be let out lest the former two get worse.

What bothers me even more than AI narration is human narration of AI content. I come across so many videos now, especially in the genre of video essays about TV shows, that seems promising at first glance and then after listening for a couple minutes the AI patterns become obvious (it unfortunately takes longer to notice when spoken vs written). It is getting trickier to intentionally find good new channels; the algorithm does a surprisingly decent job as long as you’re consistent about what you’ll tolerate.

Harder to detect manually compared to image or video, but not necessarily harder to detect with another model. If it’s AI-generated MIDI (I have no idea if that’s the, or even a, way it’s done) there are probably patterns in the output similar to the way there are in generated text, but if it’s actually generating the audio itself then that should be pretty distinct at the finer-grained level that a model could analyze it at.
