I’ve used it sometimes, as have others I know. The most common I’ve seen and use is still “EU” to just mean europe though. In contrast to “the EU”, which is the European Union.

It seems to somehow come through. At least my grandma, who is now in a retirement home and I’m pretty sure gets her news only from TV and radio, lists netanyahu in the same sentence as trump and putin as horrible people that should really die asap.
The few articles from traditional media I’ve read myself did feel that way though.
I’m mainly wondering how in the everloving fuck apparently the average guess for “live in new york city” is 30%? Surely that has to be trolls answering 100% skewing the average? The number of nyc residents i have floating around in my head is 20 million for some reason (which as it turns out is already a vast overestimation), which would be around 7% with the 330 million i have floating around for US population (which is pretty close to the real number)
I know the US education system isn’t great, but surely people at least have some very basic knowledge about their own country?
The bi thing is almost certainly your bubble. Younger generations (just gonna guess you aren’t beyond your mid thirties at most, if yes then I’d find your experience very surprising) skew more towards expressing non-hetero sexualities already, and being around more ideologically left-wing groups likely skews it heavily. It could also be that some people feel some same-sex attraction, but still identify as hetero.
The numbers do seem about right in general, bisexuality is a weird thing bc I’m also quite convinced some degree of it is extremely common, but that doesn’t mean all those people identify that way.
I think there’s a blurry line here where you can easily train an LLM to just regurgitate the source material by overfitting, and at what point is it “transformative enough”? I think there’s little doubt that current flagship models usually are transformative enough, but that doesn’t apply to everything using the same technology - even though this case will be used as precedence for all of that.
There’s also another issue in that while safeguards are generally in place, without them llms would be very capable of quoting entire pages at least of popular books. And jailbreaking llms isn’t exactly unheard of. They also at least used to really like just verbatim repeating news articles on obscure topics.
What I’m mainly getting at is that LLMs can be transformative, but they also can plagiarize. Much like any human could. The question is then, if training LLMs on copyrighted data is allowed, will the company be held accountable when their LLM does plagiarize, the same way a person would be? Or would the better decision be to prohibit training on copyrighted data because actually transforming it meaningfully can not be guaranteed, and copyright holders actually finding these violations is very hard?
Though idk the case details, if the argument was purely focused on using the material to produce the model, rather than including the ultimate step of outputting text to anyone who asks, it was probably doomed to fail from the start and the decision makes perfect sense. And that doesn’t seem too unlikely to have happened because realizing this would require the lawyer making the case to actually understand what training an LLM does.
Satire based on Israel’s rhethoric I’m assuming.
And I’d bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn’t mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.
Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don’t have to change any accounts.
Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I’ll finally do it now.
The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.
In what fantasy world do we stop using it large scale for any reason other than supply dries up? Freight ships run on oil, planes run on oil, both do not have economically viable alternatives yet. Cars run on oil and it will take more than 2-3 decades until 95%+ of global cars are EVs. Plastic currently uses around 10% of global oil supply, so even if everything else drops to 0 we still need a lot.
Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It’s gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn’t have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).
Though there’s a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.
I’ve come to realize that this is all stock markets. They are vibes-based, in their entirety. Often the vibes coincide with economic reality, sometimes you have a powerful person bullshitting enough people to make the value go up (or down) which at a certain point leads to even those that weren’t fooled to join in because the price change is real.
Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.
And many of those emissions aren’t something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.
Happens very frequently in gaming communities because european servers often get abbreviated as EU, so people just keep using it to mean europe in other contexts.
Honestly unsure if the times I’ve used euro is just because someone else did first or because I felt it necessary to distinguish from the EU and didn’t feel like writing “european” (though actually yea, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used by europeans to mean “Europe”, only “european”).
