Presumably Trump will be returning his $90 million in lawsuit booty now that it's been decided you cannot say no to the government right? Heck he dodged the draft 5 times.
This seems misguided. The fact that 'ρ' isn't a pixel for pixel match for 'p' doesn't mean they're not confusable. The threat model is not being unable to solve a spot-the-difference puzzle. Unless you are familiar with every pixel of your system fonts, and carefully scrutinize every character on your screen, the lack of an exact match in jρmorgan[.]com in a URL is going to do very little for you. There are many english characters that have multiple totally distinct ways to write them, so you can have two 'a' variants that are distinct but equally 'normal' looking. I guess if you get an LLM to write your blog posts they don't have to make much sense to begin with.
To be fair, the correlation threshold they used was 0.7 for confusable, and 0.3-0.7 for contextually confusable. But I definitely would have liked to see some examples of glyph pairs at around 0.5 correlation. And at small font sizes realistic in actual threat scenarios.
I think it's a weak positive signal for AI use. Including quantitative impacts has been a recommended practice for a long time. Humans struggle to do it though because they don't have the numbers. Maybe the frequency is increased slightly by everyone using LLMs for resume reviews and getting the same advice. If you rewrite your resume directly with the bullshit machine though.. you might invent some quantitative values you never knew before.
They're no dirtier than subways, which people don't mind. People have a very negative association with buses though. The streetcar experience for example is pretty much identical minus the bumps, but they're perceived much more positively. The timing and routes are indeed brutal though. If I wanted to ride the bus to my work the best route is 20 minutes of walking, 10 minutes of riding on a bus that runs every half hour, then another 20 minutes of walking. This is definitely not a rural area or anything either.
What I find interesting is that people have a negative relationship with buses but not with trolley cars, like the old SF trolley cars where you could almost hang off them. If we injected some fun or joy into busses like trolley cars would that improve people's relationships or perspective of them too?
Crazy that Trump was literally recorded making a phone call to lean on an election official: "What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state" and was still reelected by the public.
It's always made as much sense to me as being up or down money in Monopoly, or points in basketball. Stating the W/L value of a position feels like an weird mixing of the present and future to me. Of course the centipawn value holds an implicit prediction of the future, but the indirection makes it more palatable.
Yeah, it's like saying you can hire a con artist as your personal assistant as long as they work from a sealed box and just pass little reviewed paper slips back and forth through a slit. Why have one at that point? Very difficult to be 'assisted' without granting access.
Yeah I don't mind people taking their "I was there" pic. Sometimes I just want something to be in my camera roll to prompt a memory in 5 years. What I don't understand is 200 people all holding their phone up to take the same terrible quality video as each other of an event that will be recorded professionally from every angle anyways. Certainly no way would I ever watch back a 1 hour DJ set if I recorded that on a personal phone.
I don't think having the small minority of swing states repeatedly determine the elections is doing anything for balance. The notion that the electoral college exists to balance rural and urban interests is a total fiction. Urban populations were at 5% in 1790, it wasn't on anybody's mind. The present effect is totally arbitrary and inconsistent. You may as well define a college where every religion gets an equal say: why should the atheists and Christians get to impose their will on the Sikhs and Druze? Just because there are more Christians who are nothing like them?
In soccer goals are fungible. Votes are not fungible. Wasted or excess votes in safe districts don't sum to anything at all. Not even to mention the "fractions of a representative" a vote is worth implied by district sizes which can vary by almost 2X in the house or even more dramatically in the electoral college and senate of course.
I don’t think there is a material difference between goals and votes. A vote in a safe district isn’t wasted; it contributes to that district being safe. The difference is the perceived drama of being the final straw alongside all the rest of the load on the camel’s back.
