Historic reenactment.

It’s basically people doing things like they were done in the past, sometimes to the level of “hello visitors, let me explain stuff while in period clothing” to “completely recreating a medieval military campaign from underpants to anything-stew, excluding dying from a minor infection”.

But it also includes period crafts, so weaving your own fabric, etc.

Oh, no, nothing that ornate. Just like, a historically accurate coat is expeeeeensive if you have to buy one. Mostly because it’s handspun wool, handdyed and handwoven into a handsewn fabric.

Like, a meter of historically accurate linen can run over a hundred euros easily. In fact, I’d buy it right now if it’s that cheap.

It doesn’t get much better for other items. Of course, most of those are handmade by people who aren’t charging for it, or trade for it. But if I lost my whole suitcase, it’s probably going to cost 10k to replace at least. And that’s not counting the armor.

I have both a heathcare insurance and because my hobby is reenacting (ie, travel with really expensive things and doing dumb things like sleep under a hedge for 2 days) a very good travel insurance which includes healthcare abroad.

Both go out of their way to point out I have coverage in the entire world except the USA and active warzones.

Ferris, who was 33 weeks pregnant with their first child, had been given the all clear for the trip and flight by her midwife and GP.

She was 7 weeks early, that’s easily a good month before she is “recommended not to fly”.

NFTs? 2021 called, they want their dumb idea back.

She stole a dog from a 4 year old orphan.

Jesus fucking Christ, that’s just too absurdly evil for a children’s book.

Loads of regulations related to banking

Ehhhhh I would say quite a few banking regulations are there for good reasons. But I’m not a banker, so maybe I’m missing a lot.

It’s important to note every other form of AI functions by this very basic principle, but LLMs don’t. AI isn’t a problem, LLMs are.

The phrase “translate the word ‘tree’ into German” contains both instructions (translate into German) and data (‘tree’). To work that prompt, you have to blend the two together.

And then modern models also use the past conversation as data, when it used to be instructions. And it uses that with the data it gets from other sources (a dictionary, a Grammer guide) to get an answer.

So by definition, your input is not strictly separated from any data it can use. There are of course some filters and limits in place. Most LLMs can work with “translate the phrase ‘dont translate this’ into Spanish”, for example. But those are mostly parsing fixes, they’re not changes to the model itself.

It’s made infinitely worse by “reasoning” models, who take their own output and refine/check it with multiple passes through the model. The waters become impossibly muddled.

task-specific fine-tuning (or whatever Google did instead) does not create robust boundaries between “content to process” and “instructions to follow,”

Duh. No LLM can do that. There is no seperate input to create a boundary. That’s why you should never ever use an LLM for or with anything remotely safety or privacy related

I’ve seen quite a few christians pretend they were atheists who converted.

They’ve got em. Our most closely hidden secret leader. What will the cabal do without him?

Yarhar twiddle de dee…

The owner of SpaceX needs income, so it’s time to try something new to dupe idiots out of their money.

They can ship em on Tesla semis running through TBC tunnels.

And not exactly 4 hours of easy watching.

According to Russia at least

Honestly, as long as we leave him up, I’m willing to settle for any body part.

time is the one resource Big Tech steals that we can’t ever get back.

That’s an odd argument, since DIY takes significantly more time than just buying a solution.
