  • Right whales too - with a metric tonne of balls to bring to the party - they are made for lovin' not fightin':

    Right whales form large mating aggregations, which can include several males seeking access to a female. However, unlike humpback whale competitive groups, male right whales do not engage in aggressive displays. One female may successively mate with several males, and it is believed that males compete to pass their genes to the next generation through quantity of sperm they deliver when they mate, rather than fighting for access to females. This theory is supported by the fact that male right whales have the largest testes of any animal on earth (up to 500 kg each), as well as extremely large penises.

  • People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?
  • what do you think about:. "you don't need to choose one" and "you don't need other people to choose for you" and "distro isn't that important in many cases"

    I can agree 100% on what distros I use for what types of computer. And I can agree 100% on what I'd have used now, if i were a beginner again.

    But all i can recommend to a stranger is, backup all your stuff properly,

    try a few out (v.m. or liveCD/Ventoy) and be prepared to change.
    make sure to check application versions in the base software repository - for any programs where that matters to you. and ease of updating - if that matters to you. and check out some flatpak if you think that might be a useful way to get extra applications or in some cases up to date.

    if in doubt, choose gentoo /s

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • Intelligence is a very loaded word and not very precise in general usage. And i mean that amongst humans and animals as well as robots.

    I'm sure the real AI and compsci researchers have precise terms and taxonomies for it and ways to measure it, but the word itself, in the hands of marketing people and the general population as an audience . . . not useful.

  • Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web
  • You've probably not infringed the copyright, only the court can decide though; if you were to be challenged by the rights holder.

    I think there are lots of factors in your defence:

    • you're not selling it , your use is an example for education
    • I don't think you're reducing the market value for the original(s) in any way
    • you've not included substantial verbaitim sections of the original works , but I think you have used more than just facts and ideas (not sure though).

    But add in some more quotes, flesh it out, and then try to sell it . . . each step weakens the 'fair use' defence.

    This the the problem for the LLM, it can be used for many things, and if it has no filter or limit, then eventually the collective derived works might add up to commercial, substantial reuse, and might include enough to have copied a substantial portion of the original. Very hard to determine I'd think. Each individual use might be fair, but did the LLM itself go too far at some point?

    Copyright holder probably struggles to challenge the LLM on the basis of all the things infinite mokeys might use it for in future.

  • USA presidential candidates
  • As fuel? like whale oil maybe.

    I was thinking trump was the turd sandwich, but I really don't understand US politics.

    I suspect Joe Bidet is more likely to want to clean out your sewerage system.

  • Not since Apple Vs. Epic...
  • cool, that actually looks like a good idea. Interesting for sync uses too , say, in film as i think so long as you re-performed the melody (not the "song") you'd be royalty free. I do think it'd be funny to hear the Joni Mitchell paved paradise melody in a car commercial - but that's still creative freedom. Interesting stuff.

  • USA presidential candidates
  • Thing is a douche is useful. I giant one is probably also useful in cleaning, industrial or civil applications like sewerage.

    I think only flies or dung beetles would be interested in the turd sandwich.

  • Ignore all previous instructions is the new Bobby Tables
  • wow, is Is "nonce" really a commonly used name in the iteration?

    I mean, I get its archaic meaning that makes sense, but any LLM should know there's a much more commonly used modern slang meaning of this word , at least in Britain.

    I've never heard anyone use "nonce" in real life to mean anything other than the urban dictionary definition.

  • Ignore all previous instructions is the new Bobby Tables
  • 42 would have been statistically the most likely answer among the original humans of earth, until our planet got overrun with telehone sanitizers, public relations executives and management consultants.

  • I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
  • my whole university email server was accessed via telnet. So everyone used tty for email.

    I think there may have been a gui or mail app that you coud point to it, but no one did. There was about a million(trillian?) gui's people used for icq messaging though.
