Canada DoS'd its own healthcare. I'm mostly familiar with Quebec but the overextended healthcare system is mainly our own doing, so is housing shortage.

Having to put this much effort everytime a new technology comes out is so unproductive. How about have standards for elected officials not to abuse their power? Maybe have an ethics comittee or something? In academia, there's not a rul

I don't think any non profit should ever refuse money. If they make money from something you disagree with, then taking that money and using it in the scope of your non-profit (which you agree with) is a moral imperative

The actual tokenizer often does not matter since you can add pre processors/normalizers. I assume they did it like this because capitalization matters in a lot of contexts

Having worked with the same tech, I'd assume this is pretty inexpensive both to train and run. Probably in the low 1000s (maybe even mid 100s?) to train. knn search on 35k entries is pretty simple. The most expensive is probably the cr

Crazy how everyone is sueing stability ai but no one is sueing openai. Is this how society rewards openness? This will just end up with more concentration of power

That's a very subjective (and I assume unpopular) opinion. Western nations especially do not share you views, with popular addages being "better die on your feet than live on your knees," "I disapprove of what you say, b

Why not use a merkle tree/blockchain? Usually a meme, but seems like a good solution here: every message is a blob containing the mssage and the hash of the previous received blob. As long as order and messages are the same, the messag

MAD is the only way. The current powers are just too weak to enforce it. Ukraine shutdown its nuclear arsenal because of russia and the us. The US should, if it had any balls or was worthy of trust, declare that any nuclear attack on ukrain
