Source needed on lawns making people happier than having access to water and food.


Artichokes are only nominally food. Functionally, they're recreation.


Counterpoint: source not needed, it's clearly an opinion or a conjecture, not a reference missing its citation.


That food is exported for profit, not used to feed hungry people in precarious situations.


They're both bad.


Docker on M1 is a pain in the ass if you have to focus on x86 instead of ARM. Non arm docker builds take much much longer to the point that my 2016 Mac is faster than my M1. But if you live in arm land it's fine. Unfortunately, that's not me so I spend most of my time Ssh'd into an x86 Linux machine.


"Ssh'd into an x86 Linux machine."

I would do that too, but I travel a lot as well, and this setup won't work well for me when I'm not home I guess :/


Probably 50$ server at Hetzner can be your friend here - 64gb ram with 2x512gb ssds on top of Ryzen


Wild how we can openly bash conservation efforts but not the nationalists and neoliberals who got us into this mess.


Why would I want a model obsessed with race-war and anti-semitism?


Because you had done even a single Google search and turned up, for example this paper: https://aclanthology.org/2022.ltedi-1.6.pdf titled "Detoxifying Language Models with a Toxic Corpus" (Yoon A Park and Frank Rudzicz at Toronto), which while not exactly groundbreaking, is a well-footnoted exploration of how to use adversarial or quasi-adversarial training ensembles in a language setting?

To be clear, I'm aiming for a tiny amount of snark/sarcasm above, the minimum amount. I want to provide a useful answer, but I'm a mechanism designer by trade and incentives matter. Don't do that.

The rest of my snark is at the offices of The Facebook, where people smarter than me are doing work that no one writing this comment, including and especially myself, are intellectually or creatively capable of ;)


Yeah, appealing to hero-worship and faith in Facebook that creating a fascist AI is good actually isn't a convincing argument.


It's just a film reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mehUC5l-lGM&t=43s.

I've been pretty clear on my "hyper-FAANG ML model/courpus posture", e.g.

I'm going on the permanent record under my real name with shit like: "Fogging up the windshield with a bunch of feigned alarm about AI apocalypse but ramming the R&D through at full thrusters is a dick move in either case."

I'd love to persuade you to help out! But if you're not interested, just declining to participate is really the move here.


Yeah we totally need more heatwave causing emissions right now guy


Good, I hope they keep not using it


Yes, because each decision is based on a previous decision, often made by someone else. Sometimes, someone 5 steps back made an awful decision which necessitates making another decision that may also be wrong, but wrong in a way that could leave the next person able to make a correct one.

If I walk into a room and someone asks "how do I deploy this app to the edge" there's 1000 answers that will either be right or wrong depending on decisions about that apps design that were made long ago but will still impact how I have to deploy it.


No the strategy is associate drugs with minorities to make being a minority illegal.

Ehrlichman told Baum. "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."


This is an unverified quote from someone last in office in 1969, about president Nixon who he may have had a grudge against. But if so, which minority is being targeted with the cool-whip ban?


People in the counter culture who are against war mongering are historically considered to be a minority

The term "minority" is not only about race


Nobody said it was only race.


I'm wondering why the question was presented in the first place then, as this is in the quote:

>make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana


I asked which minority is being targeted, not which race. Hippies and anti-war aren't a race either.


Hippies and anti-war are the minority, which is specified in the quote. Hence my clarification. So why was the question presented?


My apologies, I appear to have misunderstood the comment chain. The commenter saying that the whip cream law discriminates against minorities is incorrect.

Prohibition itself does discriminate against minorities but age regulation does not, in fact age regulation of psychoactive substances is a good step in the right direction away from hard-line prohibitionist policies.
