I got downvoted to hell last time I expressed my views about religion, but it has served me well for 29 years now (having been born in the shadow of the Vatican), so I am willing to share again:
I work, collaborate, spend time and even sometimes have sex with religious people, all while maintaining the idea that each one of them is akin to a dormant terrorist cell, and that given the right conditions their fundamental distancing from reason and in some cases recognition of undeserved authority can turn against me and everyone else.
I live a subtly tense life, but usually I am already in a safe place when shit hits the fan.
I also have a very wide definition of religion and of priest.
I have read the threads up to now and, despite being ignorant about security research, I would call myself convinced of the usefulness of such a tool in the near-future to shave off time in the tasks required for this kind of work.
My problem with this is that transformer-based LLMs still don't sound to me like the good tool for the job when it comes to such formal languages. It is surely a very expensive way to do this job.
Other architectures are getting much less attention because of this the focus of investors on this shiny toy. From my understanding, neurosymbolic AI would do a much better and potentially faster job at a task involving stable concepts.
This is correct and there is a Black Mirror episode that explains it well, the second one of the first season, Fifteen Million Merits.
The final condition of the protagonist in that episode is the one of the Privacy-informing Youtubers and other creators, if they cannot make enough money with Patreon or other independent revenue streams.
And even in that case, the original platform is making the most value out of it.
That's why I specified legally. Which, being American involved, I reckon still has very little meaning.
I cannot undo mistakes I made 15 years ago. Stoically, I can only worry about how I can act in the present.
The world will be better when people will stop following the medieval trend of having a lawn.
Water consumption, leaf blowers, habitat invasion would be finally gone.
we need trains. We need to unify the rail systems (rail width and electrical tensions) and the ticket systems.
Europe could be easily served using a network of night train routes.
I think there should be way more political discourse about rail in the EU, but, for example in Italy, airports have been used as electoral campaigning devices.
Please notice I said real money.
Of course they make some money from the tickets, but the highest number I could find is 60% of revenue, and you have to calculate that it is a hyper-regulated seasonal industry.
Will Smith and Jared Leto for sure (including 2049, which was a disgrace compared to the masterpiece that is the original, despite me loving Arrival, Dune Part I and Sicario).
I also cannot stand anyone meant to appeal only to Americans, like Kevin Hart, Chevy Chase, Queen Latifah and all that stuff.
Used to like Tom Hanks in the 1990s, but after that he became part of the latter group for me.
If you are ever going to try again watching a The Rock movie (I don't mind him at all, although not being calling me to watch a movie), please make it Hercules: that movie genuinely surprised me.
For completeness, Glycemic Index. In this case General Infantry though.
