LOL "Not supported in your country" My browser and account is set to English. The only reason it wouldn't be "supported" would be for privacy reasons. Yeah, I'm thinking I'll stay away from this.
I cannot understand why Google doesn't release products for all of their users. Bard isn't supported for this account (Google Workspace) https://imgur.com/a/HCDNO9A
I tried: Question/Task: Write a lock implementation in Rust I got this (lol): use std::sync::Mutex; struct Lock { mutex: Mutex , } impl Lock { fn new() -> Lock { Lock { mutex: Mutex::new(()), } } fn lock(&self) -> MutexGuard { self.mutex.lock().unwrap() } fn unlock(&self) { self.mutex.unlock(); } }
I mean, it's not really wrong, is it? :D Have you tried the same with gpt4?
OTOH given "write a lock implementation in Rust without using existing standard library synchronization primitives", both try to implement a spinlock. But GPT-4 knows about compare_and_swap, whereas Bard appears to believe that spinning on load(SeqCst) followed by store(SeqCst) is sufficient to synchronize with other threads.
But a task like that is more likely to depend at how much Rust code each model was trained on rather than its capability to reason.

This sign-in button is coerced consent? You can choose not to sign in. What is the coercion? > non-essential functions Are you sure you're not talking about cookie consent laws? (The reason "non-essential" is a qualifier for cookies is that, e.g., a log in session will require the use of cookies but is also considered "essential".)

>Please also understand the appeal to authority in "is illegal in many places". What exactly do you think "appeal to authority" means in this context?
I think it’s because I said “valid” which might sound like valid “in terms of the law” (and that’s actually still debatable). I mean to say it more philosophically. Per my opinion, it’s “valid” as informed consent for new accounts. Basically, I’m arguing that these “many places” shouldn’t have made this form of consent legally invalid if that is indeed the case. (Of course, it gets hairier when considering existing accounts and unilateral changes to the ToS; I still don’t exactly think I am mistaken with my understanding but I seem to have expressed it poorly.)

Of course they know that. How dumb would one have to be to not know France, Italy, Germany are countries? :-)
So then why not refer to them as countries - that's how they would refer to themselves (I'm ex-UK myself). Doesn't make any sense to say "I know they're countries but I'm just gonna call them states instead". The EU context doesn't make any difference.

"State" made perfect sense in context of the post.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The members of the EU are countries, not states (& the EU itself is a political/economic alliance, not a country).
"State" in this context is the same as the state in "head of state," AKA "a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government." Other examples of this usage are "nation-state" and "city-state." It is common to refer to the members of the EU as "member states."
I'm curious what state you're from where it's normal to refer to EU members as "member states" ? USA perhaps ?
I would love to see napkin math on how much new hardware capacity is needed to serve Bard as a general availability product. Where they got so many TPUs on a such a short notice?
