    It's not a particularly big market, and given the regulatory hurdles: it's simply not worth doing business with the UK for most companies anymore.

    > they risk sanctions/being arrested when abroad/etc. That's the OP's question. Bluntly: if I'm here, and they're bloviating over there, what can they actually do about it?

    Not really. It's more like Cloudflare is providing an ipset in your iptables config. It's not Cloudflare's decision: they're just making it easier for you to do it.

    The counter-argument to this from the AI crowd would be that it's fundamentally impossible for _us_, with our goopy brains, to understand how to do it. Something that is factorial-…

    Well, first, it would be so far beyond anything we can comprehend as intelligence that even asking that question is considered silly. An ant isn't asking us how we measure the acid…

    It starts to veer into sci-fi and I don't personally believe this is practically possible on any relevant timescale, but: The idea is a sufficiently advanced AI could simulate.. ev…

    Isn't the entire EU essentially a panopticon of cameras?

    Fwiw, Marek's technical corner still exists and still gets some activity.

    That isn't true. Dedicated bodybuilders, starting more commonly ~5 years ago, decided that PCT wasn't worth it. Instead of typical 16-20 week cycles followed by 4-6 weeks of PCT, t…

    Post-cycle therapy will take longer if you're taking exogenous testosterone for longer, but it's definitely not a 'for life'/'impossible' thing if you've been on TRT for a few year…

    What is there to cope about? It's not a big deal, and arguably a benefit.

    Well, definitely don't phrase it exactly like that. Most decisions that would be made in the context where this is a useful technique are irrelevant and/or obvious. They should be …

    The suggestion is that negative reviews are suppressed. Communicating a negative review through a facially positive review would help avoid that.

    Re-read the original link, posted again below. The claims you're making are specifically addressed and are wrong. There are multiple critical reviews of this paper. It is well-know…

    How long does the checklist need to be? Can I check three boxes if I an interview a gay black jew or do I only get one?

    No, it doesn't. This is a dramatic reach and complete misunderstanding of the stats. The data in table 5 is not statistically significant. If you go down to table 6 (which is also …

    Not really. Everything is downstream of the pressure on organizations to address disparate impact. Some examples: When a company is under pressure to boost the number of X engineer…

    I'll try to assume good faith, but this is the sort of framing often used in the waning days of unpopular ideas. That's not what DEI ever was. It fundamentally came down to evaluat…

    SFT can be used to give negative feedback/examples. That's one of the lesser-known benefits/tricks of system messages. E.g: System: You are a helpful chatbot. User: What is 1+1? As…

    This feels like a category mistake. Why would R1 make RLHF obsolete?

    Your description of distillation is largely correct, but not RLHF. The process of taking a base model that is capable of continuing ('autocomplete') some text input and teaching it…
