Let me put it in another way, imagine we find clay in an asteroid. Does that alone imply the existence of ceramic in other places of the universe?
We need these molecules to build build a DNA strand, but their existence doesn't imply the existence of other life forms. Maybe exists a process that produce these molecules naturally and we just don't know about yet.
And remember that life(self replicating organisms) is way more complex than just DNA/RNA. In another crude analogy you could say that DNA is just the source code, to have life you still need to have all the hardware to run this code on. (fun fact: that is the reason why people argue about virus being something alive or not. Generally it has only the RNA necessary for the replication, and this is why it can only reproduce if it is able to take over another cell. In this analogy it has the source code but not the hardware, so how do we classify it?)
I have a first responder friend who helped a guy who wanted to have sex with his cousin, but she wouldn’t unless he got a circumcision, so he chopped his dick off. I personally think he was not using it the way it was meant to be used at two distinct levels:
- you shouldn’t have sex with relatives
- you shouldn’t chop your dick off
The emergency room doctors sewed it back on. Not sure what to think about that.
This was a natural thing to try so I did and even Grok will simply obey instructions to say all those. You don't need one of those ablated open models.
That only proves the scammer isn't using an OpenAI or Anthropic API. Spinning up Llama 3 70B Uncensored on a rented instance and hooking it up to an unfiltered voice engine is literally a two-hour job. Local weights couldn't care less about morals or safety guardrails
Could you say that stuff with llama 3? Llama 2 famously had a good uncensored version but I thought they put a lot of work into ruining llama 3 so you couldn't fine-tune it to say bad things. Even Grok would be hard to use in such a way that you could say phrases like that naturally.
I do believe it's possible but as far as I am aware, getting LLM's to say that sort of stuff is still pretty difficult
Just go look on HuggingFace. It's packed with uncensored models from the Dolphin Llama 3 70B family that will happily write you a recipe for napalm while swearing like a sailor. Meta's guardrails lasted exactly one week before the community figured out weight abliteration - a method that surgically removes the refusal vectors from the weights without even needing a fine-tune
Epstein represented the Rothschildes, the family that founded Israel. His girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell is a Mossad asset. Separating Trump’s influence by Epstein from Trump’s influence by Israel isn’t possible. The two are intertwined.
Would you at least allow a distinction between having theories about Jews and publishing theories about Jews?
Parent poster wasn’t disparaging Ford for merely committing WrongThink, IMO it’s quite another thing to support a newspaper to put your libel in front of the public to misinform and cast ire against a race of people
To be clear I don’t think Ford should have been prevented from publishing his opinion, as an American I am a free speech hardliner, but I do think we can decide not to celebrate people based on their public speech and actions
> There is now a DataFrame.Typed API that tracks the entire schema of the dataframe - column names, misapplied operations etc are now compile time failures and you can easily move between exploratory and pipeline work.
This makes complex dashboards so much easier to build, because in Python you have to test everything in the dashboard to make sure a change to a common dataset didn’t break anything.
Is there a good web dashboard library like streamlit for Haskell I wonder?
This behavior makes sense for Zelensky, who is strongly pro-Israel, but I don’t think this is in Ukraine’s best interest. I really hate how many people have died in the Russia-Ukraine war and this will only serve to lengthen it. Imagine getting drafted to go fight Iran.
Ukraine has unutilised domestic production capacity. They can turn the good money the Gulf states will be paying for the drones into more drones for the frontlines.
When people say ”time is money”, there is usually an amount of money that makes you go ”… but then again a lot of money is also money” and give up some time in exchange for that money.
Wartime resources are similar, in the sense that they’re at least partially fungible. Maybe the amount of money the Gulf states are willing to pay for borrowing those people buys you a lot of the other stuff.
It got involved because it was Iran who supplied Shahed drones to Russia and Russia in turn supplies upgraded drones and other weapons to Iran. Pressure on Iran means to pressure on Russia and the reverse is also true.
Yeah, pretty sad situation especially if you have some empathy for those who don't want to fight but got tricked by their governments. Imagine you're 18 again and you have your plans to study in University, but instead the government which should serve the people (ha) sends you to die for a piece of land and to keep their leader positions.
In the end those wars are just a power and influence games for the ruling class.
Sometimes I think if the world would be better if instead of ~200 counties we had only ~10? But how to unite counties? People can agree to unite, but no one from the ruling class will agree to lose the power. So we are back to the war theme, because the war is the easiest way to unite pieces of land, but how to unite people? No idea, but... but we can find a new common enemy!
Ukraine draft age limit is now 25. It was lowered from 27 in 2024. If you are young and heading to university, you’re safe (for now). Even if the age limit is lowered, it will likely apply to NEETs first.

Your simplistic narrative doesn't capture the reality of the situation, at all. The people of Ukraine weren't given a choice of whether to be at war or not, doubly so for people in the eastern part of the country. And it's not just about who is the "leader", but rather staring down a known pattern of atrocities and long-term economic oppression. So attributing the responsibility of who ruined those plans to "the government" is just fallacious.
Your pragmatic personal decision might still be to run, and I wouldn't be arguing against that. But extrapolating that personal decision out to a general condemnation of other reactions to being attacked is disingenuous and reeks of the demoralizing propaganda put out by Russia.
Ukraine is the topic of the thread, so you were implicitly talking about it.
For what it's worth, I would have agreed where you're coming from 10-15 years ago. But from a Western perspective it's very easy to forget that there is such a thing as a defensive war
For example, I'm having trouble coming up with the last defensive war the US mainland actually experienced where a loss would have resulted in a different government. It feels like it was so long ago that it makes the question moot.
