Sure sure, there are unjust laws whose upholding isn't good, but this are the exceptions allowed for by using "in general" as opposed to "always".
1) The only difference between a just law and an unjust law is time. I have family members who needed to wear dog tags to drink in certain pubs because of the colour of their skin, and I'm not old. And yet such laws were widely supported (for various reasons) for a long time. 2) lazy governments often apply sweeping blanket bans and fall back to police discretion. Carrying a hammer? Technically illegal in my home cou…

> Cars are literally the number one killer of children 0-14 in the United States. More than cancer, more than guns, more than the next 7 reasons combined Cars are heavily regulated. Require licenses to use. Entail massive losses of freedoms when used, e.g. you can be randomly breathalyzed or whatnot. Cars are dangerous. Comparing anything to a car (or, per Altman and now Dario, to a nuke) means it should be tightly r…
The regulation of cars exists mostly to extract rent from you rather than keep you safe in the USA. I don’t personally know a single person who has failed to obtain a drivers license.
Get into a hit and run and there’s almost no chance anyone finds who did it. There’s a near 100% chance the person that did it paid the registration fee for their car though, paid to get it inspected, paid to renew their license with no exam, etc.

#354One of my hobbies is making replicas of movie props, and my own creations that seem to be from fictional universes. I would love to see the tablet and "quill" embellished a bit.
Would it be possible to run a custom LLM that acts and has knowledge specifically like Tom Riddle?

Why not just show the real link to ?
Because the real link now won't even let you watch a video without logging in.

I speak as I think and I type and as I speak, so I do uses em-dashes. It’s a shame that it’s now a brand of low quality AI-generated content.
How do you even do an em dash? I don't even thing I've got that on my keyboard
Install/Enable support for the Compose key. Map it to Menu or some other unused key. Then press Compose and three hyphens in sequence.
I have used emdash, typed this way for many years before LLMs. I had got the habit from mimicking my journalist father's writing style.
The Compose key is useful for many other symbols «×»÷₁²♥⋄•

The ease by which you can get banned worries me. It seems unavoidable that soon AI will manage its own suspicion level, provide feedback on it, and when high enough it will call the authorities.. because that's what people do. Banning doesn't cut it, like you can't deny internet access. Soon this will spiral out of control and AI (Palantir) will have to run the response and the parallel AI state erects itself. A citi…
Preventing crimes before the happen is in general just unquestionably good, about as unambiguous a moral position as being in favour of preventing heart attacks. You might be thinking of punishing for a crime that hasn't yet been committed?
That entirely depends upon the cost of preventing them. At no cost, sure.
But nothing is ever free. So what is the cost.
There is also the consideration of if a crime being a crime is just. Consider crimes that use to be on the book that we now consider horrible things to have outlawed or even crimes that are still on the books but not enforced because we reject them.
For example, some places us to make it a crime for kids to play pinball. Is preventing kids from playing pinball, even if it came at no cost, an unquestionably good thing?
For a sufficiently bad crime, at sufficiently low costs, preventing it is good. But those two factors are both very big questions, directly challenging the notion of "unquestionably good".

For Windows it's Win+Shift+"-". I suspect it is more common to see in papers as you can type it with just "--" in LaTeX.
Correction: It is actually "---" in LaTeX and "--" only creates an en-dash.

#360This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word. I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now. There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week. We are not in the slow times anymore.
You think technology was the bottleneck? Your button was not important and should not consume resources of any kind and definitely not engineering resources. It taking a week was a feature, not a bug. It meant engineering properly evaluated the priority and urgency of tasks. Your magic slotmachine will enable a level of shit-producing and warped perception of engineering effort of breathtaking scale. It will have con…
For years almost all the engineering effort at all the tech companies went into engineering things which grab as much human attention as possible. Almost any use of engineering time, or AI or whatever would be better than that.
