also spanish

[elashri → randiantech]

I would say "Italian" :)

[pjmlp → elashri]

And Portuguese. :)

And to keep this thread, I think our three languages should count as one, because at least 20 years ago, it was quite common to have Portuguese, Italian and Spanish mingle in several activities.

I was just commenting based on the cliche that Italians are everywhere at CERN. So you will always hear Italian language.

They are, that is how learnt Italian without much effort. :)

"Not because they copied each other. Because the constraints are physics."

Why do models tend to fall back on the ‘it is not X, it is Y’ structure so frequently?

[crooked-v → randiantech]

Because they were RLHFed using corpospeak text that relies on that sort of cliche.

[ivanvanderbyl → randiantech]

It’s too “load bearing”

[ray_v → ivanvanderbyl]

Found the "smoking gun"

[paulddraper → randiantech]

Like nails on chalkboard

[plagiarist → paulddraper]

It really is. And why so often? It is hard to imagine this construct is that prevalent in training data.

Isn't this common on Medium and other SEO slop that has dominated the web in the past 10-15 years?

I think it relates to exchange rates. On 2001 1 US Dollar = 1 Argentinian Peso. On 2023 1 US Dollar = 185 Argentinian Pesos.

In truth, thing is much worst, because you wont get 1 US dollar anywhere (nor banks, financial orgs, or privates will sell it for that price). On the market is close to

1 US Dollar = 360 Argentinian Pesos.

On: Pelé has died

[randiantech]

I dont think that Senna can compare to Pele.

[pantulis → randiantech]

This gives and idea of how great was Pele.

19th century, or 2008. It’d be same.

[rfrey → randiantech]

In 2008 depositors got their money back. In the 19th century they lost it.

[thinkcontext → randiantech]

2008 had a lot of things the 1800s didn't, like the Fed and FDIC, both of which were very busy.

I have seen a disproportionally bigger number of blowups of highly regulated industries, so does not seem like a strong argument IMO.

[polygamous_bat → randiantech]

> I have seen a disproportionally bigger number of blowups of highly regulated industries

Source for your claim? Sounds incredibly outlandish to me, but perhaps we are thinking of different industries.

My 82 years old, disabled dad disagrees that this is a good idea.

[BLKNSLVR → randiantech]

With awareness of having zero context, I'd believe your 82 year old disabled dad, and the general public, would be safer if he was not allowed to drive a car in the inner city.
