A fella down the street across the county line by one of the lakes is a radiologist who works 14 weeks a year and get $780,000.00/year.

And they bragged about it on /r/salary.

The United States is still a slaver nation if you adjust for inflation.

And tell any doctor that says they, too, want "medicare for all" to STFU. They lying.

Depending on the workplace and the labour laws in effect, they could well prefer you to work 39.7 hours a week so you're not considered full time which would cost more for the company.

A lot of grocery stores around where I live schedule you just under the 40hr full time threshold so you get no benefits.

GOP senator: Kash Patel will lead FBI by 'taking it apart'

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the real heroes that day; the first responders who are still dealing with the consequences of helping en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health…

They're heroes until they ask for help on their medical bills. After that they're just freeloading degenerates.

Other than memory size, why do people prefer xfce these days? I use it in nowsci.com/webbian/ to keep image size down, but use Gnome on my machines.
in reply to fmstrat

Gnome is very different than xfce and has a different workflow. I find the workflow of xfce very nice and like the modularity of it
in reply to fmstrat

I like the aesthetic and theming support

Xfce allowed me to replace the default window manager by Bspwm.
Also the panels are fully configurable.
This is a totally different philosophy.

Cause the internet can't be fun anymore. if only there were a place where you could make your own server. Maybe some prehistoric creature would know.

The VCs know best as usual, it's important not to ruin the pure perfect possibility of decentralization by actually implementing it

I was just about to splurge on an raspberry pi to build something like this. Will definitely check this out, especially for $90, can't go wrong supporting #opensource projects.

In the space of 1 week, a second open-source Chinese AI model equals the best investors are pouring tens of billions of dollars into.


in reply to schizoidman

These data processing apps are just apps hooked up to big computers with big data. It's no surprise when rich people buy a bunch of computers and data then run an app on it. It's much more surprising that people are hyped into believing this is somehow important. "It took one week to copy an app and load the data?!?! Wow!!!!"

Nobody cares when "China" writes a decent word processing app or whatever, nor should they.

I wonder if that's a UI block like if it's mentioned then throw error, or if the model itself has a block in there. From this, it looks like it's baked in and of course they haven't poisoned it
in reply to Scrubbles

I'm guessing it's in the output handler, not the UI exactly. I don't think you can edit models like that, and the fact that it knows about it at all means they didn't whitewash the training data set. But my knowledge is limited. In their place, I would probably have included "don't talk about tiananmen square" in the initialization rules. But failing that, I would have added something in the output processor to check for forbidden knowledge and throw an exception.

Still, it's strange that it got the words out before dying.

in reply to catloaf

Yeah agreed, I'm more surprised they didn't scrub every reference to it on the training set like you said that it's in the model at all is surprising. I may try to run it myself and see what it does with the same question
in reply to catloaf

It works in Spanish, in English it throws an error before answering about Tiananmen as you show 🤫
in reply to not_amm

Interesting. I tried Chinese and it also throws an error. Looks like it was a manual thing in only some languages.

Someone gagged the AI before it could complete that sentence 😜
