Over the last eight months, Israel has killed at least 37,765 people and injured another 86,429, according to the ministry’s latest figures. These numbers are likely an undercount due to the decimated medical infrastructure, killed medical workers, and thousands feared trapped under the rubble in Gaza.
Was there a debate in Congress? Did they reason their vote?
The closing paragraphs in the article paint a bleak light. None of reason or arguments. Only denial and dismissal of opposition/different views without any reasoning.
How do you want us to push for peace there too? Because we have been since the beginning of the war in my eyes.
What do you mean by "won't recover from"? Because they have lost things that can't be recovered since the beginning of the war. Russia is losing things they can't recover too; thousands of its people for example, it's money reserves, its military inventory, its non-military-sector economy. Where do you draw the line for Russia and Ukraine of what is "won't recover from"? Western nations have already committed to helping rebuild the country and especially its destroyed infrastructure.
How is the war in Ukraine "quickly turning into a much bigger global conflict"? Fighting is still only within Ukraine and the border to Russia. Western material support has been the case since the beginning.
I have to assume by pushing for peace you mean Ukraine should accept losing large parts of its territory and human atrocities in order for the fighting to end. Is letting Russia win going to reduce conflict long term though? They'll have more resources to invade other countries next. And proof that it's a worth investment. That works and they win from. There was precedent before the current war in Ukraine, which is why they started this invasion in the first place. Only this time it didn't go as smoothly.

The only way to meaningfully advocate for it after your company already announced their conditions and offerings is to present value gain.
What do you suggest concretely? What should be offered under what conditions? What would that mean as cost? What would the benefit be? How substantial is it?
Reaching out privately to them is certainly going beyond what you are employed for. I don't know about ill-advised - if you never disclose it or are at least mindful of that. But it's a personal assessment. You seem to be willing to invest a lot into a single customer, who tries to do something not offered or considered by the company. Whether it's personal interest, or first a broader better understanding of the use case, I can see how it could be worth or worthwhile. But I wouldn't get my hopes up about changing the opinions of your company [from their information alone].
Your company offered API access. So there is an interface available. They won't make it free unless they see and deem it worth it to do so.
Does it apply if you don't say that you are posting under the license? It may be implied, the intent is reasonably clear, but an argument of ambiguity can be made. You're merely linking to a license.
Does it apply if the link label mismatches the license? CC by-nc-sa does more than deny commercial AI training. It requires attribution, requires general non-commercial use, and requires share-alike.
Personally, I prefer when it's at least differently formatted to indicate it as a footer and not comment content. I've seen them smaller and IIRC italic on other commenters, which seems more appropriate and less distracting and noisy [for human consumption]. When the comment is no longer than the license footer… well…
Personally, While i appreciate the good moderation and have never had issues here. I have noticed that communities are a lot smaller when viewed from here?...
I think it's not closed off enough, given that I regularly see accounts from other instances post comments that go against the goals and spirit set by Beehaw.
At the same time, I think we don't have enough of a new content stream. I don't think opening up is a good solution though. That would mean losing what sets Beehaw apart.
How do you think the US tried to make China invade?
I think it's a bafflingly absurd claim. And I'm surprised some people wouldn't doubt it.
How does this fit into China invading and harassing other ships in international waters near Taiwan? Or China punishing Taiwans independent election results by doing military maneuvers around Taiwan, clearly showing force and threatening. And the constant reiterations of considering Taiwan as part of China. Integration of Taiwan is a clear and repeatedly voiced goal. Their willingness to use force was shown repeatedly; in Tibet, Hong Kong, and against minorities in their own established lands.
I don't see how with such a discrepancy believing the Chinese claims makes any sense. It's smoke and trying to influence and irritate the western nations and their alliances. Similar playbook to Russia.

Right now it's entirely timestamp-based. That means it can interface and work on simple playback terms. On time, jump, jump to time, etc. Having to get frame data and hash it, and make playback depend on it adds a lot of technical complexity.
If ad length varies you don't even know how far to jump ahead. And if you haven't prebuffered the data until after the ad, you can't find out from a hashed after-frame-hash-value either.
From the article-linked ruling press release - what it means in practice, what this was about:
In order to protect works covered by copyright or related rights against offences committed on the internet, a
French decree introduced two personal data processing operations. The first operation consists of the collection, by
rightholder organisations, of IP addresses which appear to have been used on peer-to-peer websites to commit
such offences and the referral of those IP addresses to the Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des œuvres et la
protection des droits sur internet (High Authority for the dissemination of works and the protection of rights on the
Internet) (Hadopi) 1. The second operation, carried out by the internet access providers at Hadopi’s request, consists,
inter alia, of matching the IP address with the civil identity data of its holder. Those data processing operations
enable Hadopi to initiate a procedure against the persons identified, combining educational and punitive measures,
which may lead to a referral to the public prosecution service in the most serious cases.
I find the ruling press release is much more understandable (and much more informative) than the OP-linked article.
Miles is impressed by GPT-4’s […] ability to understand other people’s minds
uh, no, it can't do that
Instant disqualification for me.
The video also mentions the story of GPT-4 hiring a human worker on TaskRabbit to solve a CAPTCHA challenge.
As far as I know, GPT-4 doesn't autonomously do web requests. I assume either someone trained specialized it with prompts and then interfaced it with TaskRabbit themselves - or used GPT-4 to help interface to TaskRabbit too. For both of which their wording is utterly misleading or wrong.
As part of a campaign calling on the government to reduce red tape, Alsleben has opened what he calls "the most German of German museums," the Bureaucracy Museum.
Genius move. I think it's a worth move either way. Bureaucracy and the shape and history of it is worth preserving [information on].
Among the objects on display is a 10-foot stack of files representing the paperwork needed to install one wind turbine. Another is a photograph of a mailbox with the label: "Please deposit online forms here."

With the right causation or correlation, the correct person is identified.
Whether right reason refers to being mad at the person for the related reason or the reason itself being valid and rightful, both are possible.
Right time is related to the cause of anger as well as when the anger takes place. Both is possible to be at the right time.
You can even be angry without any visible indication. There's also cases where an aggressive response is the right response. Proper response is possible too.
Firefox plans to support Manifest V3 because Chrome is the world's most popular browser, and it wants extensions to be cross-browser compatible, but it has no plans to turn off support for Manifest V2.
If Google decided to break V2 compatibility with V3, Mozilla should announce V4 (or V3 extended), which is V3 but with the missing stuff readded.
That'd be a good practical and great product/tech marketing move. Just like most people won't see how V3 is worse than V2, V4 will indicate it's the evolved and improved V3.
It would also simplify supporting V3 and V4 at the same time for extension authors. A great practical gain for extension authors, not having to read and understand two manifest schemes and APIs.
When my company enabled Microsoft InTune this year, so that our administration could ensure software is updated on our PCs, it repeatedly downgraded my Firefox back to before a security update, on every login. lol

I assume you don't mean keyboard text predictions, which would be a different thing, but the platforms.
It's a new convenience feature. Something they as a platform can shine with, retain users, and set themselves apart from other platforms.
Having training data is not the primary potential gain. It's user investment, retention, and interaction. Users choosing the generated text is valid training data. Whether they chose similar words, or what was suggested, is still input on user choice.
It does lead to a convergence to a centralized standard speak. With a self-strengthening feedback loop.
