> We're building OpenPolicy not necessarily to reduce the risk companies have of litigation

Privacy policy is one thing, but that’s what terms of service are for!

Terms of service don't override laws so only a fool thinks that they have any effect on litigation.

If a set of terms not overriding the law makes it useless, what do you think contracts are for?

Okay a couple of things here... The first is that not all contracts are equally legally binding. Terms of service would be among the least. The second is that a contract also cannot override the law... You can't break the law just because it's in a contract...

Parenthesized, comma-separated lists with no “and” is an even stronger tell. Claude loves those.

I also use those extensively, they just flow better, especially if you have an "and" in the surrounding sentence.

It's most of his name. Long before his full name became common knowledge, you could already Google "Scott Alexander psychiatrist" and find him almost instantly.

Yes, but a patient who googled his real name would not find his blog. That was the point.

That part of things is what really made this entire argument all apart of me.

There are ~50k psychiatrists in the US. Roughly, 1 in 10k people in the US is named Scott. Mathematically, that means knowing "Scott is a psychiatrist" brings you down to ~5 people. Even if we assume there's some outlier clustering of people named Scott who are psychiatrists, we're still talking about some small number.

Surely adding in the middle name essentially makes him uniquely identifiable without an other corroborating information.

Seems to be more like one in 425 per SSA.

Take a moment and apply some common sense to your math. Do you really think there are 5 psychiatrists in the country named Scott? That's off by multiple orders of magnitude.

No, but I doubt there are more than 100.

The magnitude is so small that anonymity is essential broken.

That is a very specific set of requirements. I doubt it.

I wouldn’t imagine that fingerprinting them based on request patterns is very difficult.

until your account gets banned.

you can figure out the fingerprinting today, but if they change it tomorrow and wait 5 months to force update everyone, they will catch you and ban

Why?

It sounds great to me. AI-generated music is pretty popular with Warhammer 40k lore as well.

Also I tend to listen to songs for a few days, during which time I feel they're the best thing ever, which also helps with momentum during work.

After a few days I have to find other songs. Since AI music started getting more traction it's been way easier to find great songs.

I understand the criticisms of AI music, but that doesn't take away from the fact that for me and a growing number of people it sounds good.

They’re able to solve complex, unstructured problems independently. They can express themselves in every major human language fluently. Sure, they don’t actually have a brain like we do, but they emulate it pretty well. What’s your definition of thinking?

When OP wrote about LLMs "thinking" he implied that they have an internal conceptual self-reflecting state. Which they don't, they *are* merely next token predicting statistical machines.

This was true in 2023.

And it still is today.

Any idea how SpeciesNet and iNat’s model compare to BioCLIP 2?

When you're riding a rocket that weighs 3.5 million pounds...

Is that the Rocket or the Craft+Mission payload?

My understanding is it's on the order of 5-10 pounds of rocket juice to get one pound of something to LEO, thus the question.

At 3.5 mil pounds that has to be the full rocket. But quick [1]googling is giving an even higher total mass number...

Mass higher up the rocket costs several multiples more mass in propellant and propellant handling lower in the rocket. And the more deltaV you want the higher the multiplication. (If I remember right some weight issues of some kind on the Apollo capsule and or lander required a common bulk head in the first stage to make up the performance loss!)

However cameras probably fall into the variance in astoraunt weight somewhat.

Thanks so much. Sending this link to my nerdy nephews immediately.
