I'm telling you as a blanket statement that AI Translators are not reliable. That much is easily verifiable. You're the one speaking in riddles of a magical translator in the fogs of firefox that does work, with no evidence.

I'm pretty sure energy drinks might use synthetic taurine on a large scale, have we tried feeding cats Monster Energy? /s

So you don't know the name of the model they use? Is it even accessible?

I used to think airpods were lame and dumb but now I love them.

Last month I bought a pair of padded headphones, analogue headphone jack with 2 sizes so it works for my interface too, with detachable cable. No bluetooth, no wifi, no special driver package, no LEDs: just headphones for only $18 while on sale.

Thank you, airpods. You've somehow made regular quality goods much more affordable by simply being the bigger gimmick.

You want examples but you never disclosed which product you're asking about, and why should I give a damn in the first place? I shouldn't have to present an absence of evidence of it working to prove it doesn't work.

LLM and ML generated translations generate a series of tokens individually. That's why AI Chatbots hallucinate so often, they decide the next most likely word in a sequence is "No" when the correct answer would be "Yes" and then the rest of the prompt devolves into convincing nonsense. Machines are incapable of any sort of critical thinking to discern correct from incorrect to decide whether to use contextual responses.

Sentences are a lot like math problems. An incorrect part changes the entire outcome.

The Mozilla Corporation is a for profit entity owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, which lets them claim to be a nonprofit, which is a sketchy looking way to set up and promote your business if nothing else. They get most of their money from Google and they've been riding AI like all the other unethical companies.

I see absolutely no reason to give them a chance, either. Just use an actual open source build instead of the mainstream one.

80% of AI projects so far...

It's an issue in many other countries as well and there are a great many contributing factors.

  1. Race and "Tough on Crime" politics - Ever since the emancipation of slaves on the basis of race, there have been political figures passing discriminatory policy that allows police to pursue and harass people at their own discretion: black laws, Jim Crow era laws, forced segregation, the 1994 Crime Bill, etc.

“We have to strengthen our laws when it comes to mob violence, to make sure individuals are unequivocally dissuaded from committing violence when they’re in large groups,” Florida state Rep. Juan Fernandez-Barquin, a Republican, said during a hearing for an anti-riot bill that was enacted in April.

It's clear that you can convince people to deregulate and militarize the police if you convince those people they have a greater enemy. You can see these stances and policy directions mirrored across Europe as refugees and immigration from poorer countries have increased in the last decade.

  1. Lack of Centralization - The FBI is in charge of investigating police departments, and sometimes you see jurisdiction overlaps which allows other agencies like the DEA, State Marshals, Sheriff's Department, etc to investigate each other, but in general a Police Department is held to no standard but their own until things have already escalated past a point of return.

Some federal programs have tried rewarding PDs that behave well and adhere to specific training or standards, but it's far from enforced.

TBF though, US use of force has been underreported and lacked nationwide statistics for most of the previous decades. If I'm not mistaken, one of the federal agencies who attempted to track it stopped giving annual reports in 2017? Idk I'm kind of fuzzy about that.

Nah it ain't

Sometimes I watch Mystery Science Theatre 3000, I have literally no narrative standards.

I notice that now, more than ever before, new upcoming artists' and alternative music is heavily pop-oriented, synthesized, and digital.

Is it just easier for them or do Gen Z not have the fondness for guitar that dominated the 1980s to the 2010s?

 
 
 
 
 

House Rules:

5 Sequential Cards high value > 5 Sequential Cards low value > 4 of a kind high value > 4 of a kind low value > 3 of a kind high value> 3 of a kind low value > 2 of a kind high value > 2 of a kind low value

Aces worth more than Kings for pairing, but a sequence of Ace to 5 is a low value sequence

Only Numbers are considered, signs like clubs/spades/hearts/diamond don't count towards pairs.

If you tie then the point pool is split. Everybody starts at 0 and their scores go negative as they play the first round until they win.

Each player ante the entry and is given 5 face down cards of which 3 are revealed immediately. Folding means you lose the entry, staying means you pay an additional amount equal to entry, you can double the bet for this phase (double the entry adding up to triple the initial ante total) and force every player to do the same or fold, and a new card is revealed. This repeats a second time so that all 5 cards are now known to you.

Finally, everyone has their cards revealed to everyone else. Read them and weep.

After Three Rounds the lowest scoring player(s) is eliminated.

If I get a few interested people then I plan to make an interface for it which receives it's cards data from a server. There are no current plans for wagering or prizes, but maybe I'll see what we can do if I get some good feedback.
