For someone so in touch with what studies say you seem to have a very inaccurate view of the political leanings of academics https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GYOm6ciXcAAZ0vl?format=jpg&name=... You see, all the fake fie

It's a dog whistle. There are no studies on this, why would academia (which for the field that would study this is 100% composed of leftists) have a study on leftist dog whistles? Also, putting any value on "studies" when the

Economic transactions only happen if there is a mutual benefit. Typically one side of the transaction has more market power than the other and captures more of the surplus but the transaction doesn't happen if one side is worse off fro

It's definitely copyright infringement. Also it's hilarious that the owner of this repo is advocating for DRM. When someone uses the word "exploit" to describe commercial transactions you just know they have room tempera

You can test it by comparing human translations with LLM translations. The results are pretty close. Like I said in another comment, the common failure mode with mandarin is around names and genders

My point with regards to 2 is that it would have to maintain consistency across translation runs. Entire novels don't fit in the context so it can't make up a logically consistent novel across prompts. When I do the translations,

We have some people that read Mandarin and double check the output once in a while. If it didn't work well the story would quickly become incoherent and make no logical sense because chapters are translated on their own. The common fai

The novels I like the most right now are "Mysteries of the Immortal Puppet Master" and "Eternal tale" which are both just fun Chinese fantasy novels. > What brought about the interest? They are very unique coming from

Like I said in another comment, I'm pointing out what is going to actually happen based on incentives, not what I want to happen. I'd much rather the open web continue to exist and I think AI will be a beneficial thing for humanit

Ok, fine, let's restrict it to AI agents only, without training. It's still an adversarial relationship with the content creator. When you take an AI agent an ask it "find me the best italian restaurant in city xyz" it s

For traditional search indexing the interests of the aggregator and the content creator were aligned. AIs on the other hand are adversarial to the interest of content creators, a sufficiently advanced AI can replace the creator of the conte

I don't think sqlx is worth the compile time hit at all. Just use seaorm. Writing SQL queries using strings sucks.

Exactly once delivery is when a message is delivered to any computer at any layer of abstraction exactly once. It doesn't matter if TCP abstracts or any other layer abstracts this away, if a message can be delivered more than once it d

I don't want to get into a debate over semantics with you. You've redefined exactly once delivery to mean that if you have a layer of abstraction that hides that a message was delivered multiple times then it is "exactly once

It seems like this person does not understand what exactly once delivery actually means. It's not about being able to do something exactly once if the author is reading this...
